A spring giveaway...

A huge thanks to everyone for your comments about my back problem.  It is about 40% better.  I did have that "deep tissue" massage.  Whoa.  I have never had one quite THAT deep........there were times when I thought I was going to wrestle her to the floor.  I was squirming like a soapy baby in the bath tub. You know how when you stump your toe really hard and your first reaction is to hit something right back.....kind of like that only I wanted to bend her fingers back really hard so she would ease the crap up.

She. Hurt. Me.  I have bruises where she dug into my muscles so hard I was sweating.  It definitely took my mind off the pain while I was in there :)

Is it OK to just say a blanket THANKS for comments on the last few post?  I am trying to reply but my computer time is seriously limited due to pain when sitting.  That is why I need an IPAD don't cha think?  I can at least lie down to answer emails:)

Oh...and one more thing....if my husband gives me one more suggestion on how I need to get up this way or stretch that way you are going to hear about me on the nightly news.  AND it won't be for anything design related either if you get my drift.  Yes...I am rather crabby lately.  pain will do that to you.

On to the giveaway.....here are the pretties.
3 yards of this beautiful linen fabric.
close up view.
An awesome book to go with....
A couple of great prints for the wall....
A pretty pink calligraphy brush!
A vintage real brass container....cute huh?
I love the shape of it.
And a sparkly little pillow.
One more shot of the prints and brush...
And there you have it!
But wait...there is more!  I sound like Oprah.......

A $50.00 gift certificate at Art.com!

I know you have been there before.  They pretty much have everything, including, taking your photo's to art, black and white photography, and vintage botanicals similar to the ones above.
It is a wonderful place to go for already framed art at an affordable price.

This is making me happy so my pain...your gain :)
Just become a follower......and do one random act of kindness.  That's it...your in!  I would like to say I will pick a winner next week on Thursday....let's hope I can make that deadline as I am not very reliable with regular post.  This will give me a goal.

TGIF!  Go to happy hour somewhere and have some fun!

Hate that you are still in pain. Was laughing out loud reading your description of the deep tissue massage. Too funny as I have been in that exact same position before and your words painted a perfect picture!! Hope you're feeling 100% very soon!!

Great giveaway! Hope I win but how many times does #1 get it? Oh well, keeping my fingers crossed!

At first I was confused about your "deep-tissue massage." I thought you were referring to the one your husband offered - if you go back and read your description, it's pretty funny.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better! I LOVE the brass container and the calligraphy brush!

And BTW, reading your blog is one of the highlights of my day - you are hilarious!

Kate said...

Hi Sherry, I am glad you are feeling a little better. I have been there myself and I know how painful it can be. This is such a wonderful giveaway..love everything. Of course I am a follower and my random act of kindness was buying 3 boxes of popcorn (30 bags) from a child in our neighborhood. We don't even eat popcorn!
Hugs,
Sherry

Am a follower. Did my random act of kindness. Hope your back feels better - I had issues a couple of years ago and it flares every once in a while. No fun!!

Lou Cinda @ Tattered Hydrangeas said...

Back pain = NO FUN! AND deep tissue massages are pure torture! Been there had that!

You know what I love about your give aways? Everything goes together! It's like a perfectly blended package! I can't win this one since I got the last one and if I won again....well people would start to talk...lol

Hope you feel better! I have been sick as a dog and have not done a thing for weeks except cry because my baby is graduating from high school in a month....it has been ugly on my end...

Hope you feel better SOON!!

so glad you are feeling better!

That massage sounds intense. I only like soft happy massages. Bruises does NOT sound right. I know things, my mom is a massage therapist. But hey, if you are feeling better, I guess it's worth it.

Unknown said...

Such a great giveaway! I love that calligraphy brush, how unique. I already follow you, and my random act of kindness was giving away an awesome tote bag I never used to a friend in need. :)

Lori @ Lori May Interiors said...

So pretty! I don't think I could handle a massage that includes bruises. You are a much better woman than me...

Take care!

My Notting Hill said...
