Giveaway Time....CLOSED

So it's been quite some time since my last giveaway, with the moving, job hunt etc I kept myself busy.

Time to change that!

The sweet Alana from MAKE PIE not war Etsy shop has been kind enough to offer up her services. I have actually purchased two amazingly simplistic and AWESOME necklaces from her shop over the past year for both myself and my sister for her birthday gift this past September.

What's up for grabs you ask?

Alana's awesome "Say My Name - Initial" Necklace.  You pick what color and what initial you want! So gift it to yourself (you selfish person you... ha!) or gift it to someone else for their birthday, Valentine's Day or just because they are a great friend!

                 

Pretty great, right?!?

Ok... here is how you can enter for a chance to win this awesome necklace:

Here we go KU fans! It's that time of the year to support our beloved Jayhawks as they start their first round of the March Madness games!

While I love my Jayhawks, I REALLY love buying cute new t-shirts to support them in!!!  Recently my friend KJ got this shirt for her b-day gift (from Victoria Secret).  I love it and it looks so cute and artsy.

What do you think?

I drive past these trains EVERY day to work.  They move slower than I can run basically, so you will most likely never see any speeding train pictures of these trains.  But with the beautiful blue sky and graffiti train cars I just had to get a picture to show you!
