And we have a winner…

Thanks to all of you who left me comments and for all the kind words on my blog & gallery. I really appreciate it and makes me feel to good to hear from you all. So drum roll please……THE WINNER of the designer Paul Smith notebook GOES TO: Muka. CONGRATS! I will email you and get it on the way to you. Hope you like. And anyone lovin’ the notebook who didn’t win I have a few more if you are interested. Just leave me a comment about it.

I hope everyone had a great and safe St. Patrick’s Day! I know it may have been snowy in some part of the country but we survived and trooped out last night to celebrate. We had a blast with friends going to dinner and karaoke! I love me some karaoke! Here is a picture of me belting my trademark song Big Spender from Sweet Charity! I look so silly..oh well! It was fun! My husband even took video but I’m shy to show..he he he…unless I get an overwhelming request for them. HA! Oh, I even wore my new owl necklace that I thought was too big. Well it is pretty big and I got made fun of for my “Owl Bling” but it’s all good.

Speaking of owls, I finally got my little owl statue that I won on ebay. It’s so cool and sitting on my desk right next to me. It’s about the same size as that dang necklace I wore! LOL!

Anyways, I have lots of work to do…a client scrapbook that I’m procrasting doing. Esh! I hope to have some more freebies this week, another contest soon and maybe a custom layout from me giveaway in the near future. What you think of that? Would you be interested in a chance to win a layout designed by me? Just curious…

Also I’m working on tons of site updates for Tara Sroka Designs that I’m excited about. Check back in the near future for a redesigned main page, an added service and price page as well. Stay tuned…

Contest Anyone?

I have so many things in my head these days and lots of things to blog about. But the thing is when I go to type and blog my mind goes blank and I can’t articulate anything. What gives? Well I’m super tired today and the coffee isn’t working.LOL! Anyways, I’ll try..here are some random musings, a cool site and this & that!

I knew as soon as I blogged yesterday about waiting for my first issue of Digital Scrapbooking I would get it. There it was waiting for me at home yesterday while I asked “Where was it?”. The power of reverse thinking! Ha! BTW, the issue was great. Good job and it was nice to see so many familiar names from the sccrappin’ community. I can’t wait for the next one!

owl.jpg

I’m still waiting on my little owl statue..so where are you? Let’s see if this works today..he he he. Speaking of owls I went on a search today on etsy.com and found tons of awesome cool stuff! I found some cute stuffed owls too. I really don’t need anymore random stuff to put in my apartment but how cute are they?

etsy-owl-stuff.jpg

I also got my owl necklace from ebay the other day and it’s much bigger then I expected. Hopefully I will wear it. My husband just shakes his head and laughs at me when I get things that are bigger or smaller then I thought. I really should read things more carefully!

Check out this awesome site I just found. Rotorcaps sells sterling silver and recycled bottle caps jewelry. Pretty cool stuff.

Last night John and I tried a new restaurant..well new to us. We went to this great Itialian restaurant, Tello’s which is near where I work. It was a really impromptu dinner but it rocked! My meal, the “Rigatoni Tello” was great and John really enjoyed his veal meal. If you ever need a place to eat in NYC - Chelsea area look them up.

While out last night I saw several stores with green dots!!! My love our green dots is spreading…he he he. Pinkberry, which is pictured has super cool green dot decals on their storefront. Totally lovin’ it! Ann Taylor also has big green dots in their display windows! Seems I was ahead of the green dot trend when doing my wedding designs. Go me!!! =)

So the internet at home was on and off again last night. Because of this I didn’t get a chance to work on a freebie, plus I was super tired. I think this spring ahead is kicking my butt this week! I need to wake up!

I’m going to try to post another scrappin freebie on Friday and I’m thinking of having a contest. I am going to have a random drawing of people who register and leave a comment from today-Friday. The contest is for a super cool designer Paul Smith Journal/Notebook!

paul-smith-notebook1.jpg

This notebook is way cool and retails for around $35! The only catch is I would like AT LEAST 10-15 people to leave a comment to even have this random contest. I will chose a winner over the weekend, so get your comments in!! So how’s that sound…you up for it? If you really like the notebook and don’t win let me know - I have more!

See you tomorrow..I have some inspiration, a new scrapbook layout, and a few rants. He he he!
