Three-Oh-Oh!

Note: the early-birthday present I am wearing! Birthday poncho Eeeee!

Evidently this is my 300th blog post*. Ding ding ding! Yay! Woot woot! I want to do something special for this post but didn't know exactly what to do, but I would like to reward you for all of your hard work in following my dysfunctional ramblings. I wanted to do a "giveaway" of sorts but that would require people wanting to sponsor me, and who is kidding who here? I'm not going to get any sponsors. So it was suggested to me by the Farrums that I do a giveaway of items that I personally make.

So there you have it folks! I am making a "Swag-Bag" (in the words of the Farrums). Said giveaway may or may not include: 

• Handmade post cards featuring my own photography
• Handmade accessories (for example, a handmade leather envelope business card holder. Or if you prefer animal-frendly, a canvass option!) 
• Especially for a local Los Angeles winner, I will be throwing in some awesome treats made by yours truly. Goodies may include caramels, pizzelles, or macarons - all made by me! 
• Some other of my fave stuffs!

So this is how it will work...

Post a comment here on my blog or facebook message me with the following: Your name, city, and what you would like to see more of on my blog. I will close the door on this shindig a week from now, on Saturday, July 27th at midnight PST. I will then choose at random out of the pool of names and will send you** your magnanimous gift! Yaaay! This is exciting!

Though I do have a fear that no one is going to comment. So I'm going to go spend the next week making fake emails and profiles...so I got some work to do.

Also  look at some of the cute packaging I got for the giveaway from Daiso Japan! (Though it is all pink and floral and cutesy, the giveaway is also appropriate for men, so don't let this dissuade any of you menfolk, I just thought it would be fun packaging, and I can alter it in case a man wins).

PS I love reading the warning and directional labels on all my Daiso products... let me share a few...
One warning on the ribbon spool says, "Be attention to avoid child eating." and later it says, "Dispose properly if you want." One warning on the "Paper Cushion" package says, "When subdivide the paper cushion, please do not pull it strongly. There may be a possibility that the finger gets involved, or even be injured." They are always very polite in saying please and if you want. And I love how it says "the finger gets involved." I bought a couple other things and label on the computer-toilettes I bought says "Never drink the solution as it is harmful to the human body". So adorable.

*(Some of the posts included in the 300 may not be viewable for one reason or another, so if you count them all up and call me out on it, that's what's going on, but there is technically 300 posts)

** If the winner lives in the US, shipping will be free. If the winner is outside of the US, we will have to figure something out haha.
