give away!


Last night I lay awake in bed.
I was tired (always am these days) but I was waiting for a good idea, you see.
They always come to me in the middle of the night.
So I had to wait.

I was thinking of school.
I had this excited feeling growing inside of me.
Excited because this is likely to be the best school year EVER!
I'm almost done jumping though hoops (aka: GEs)
And finally get to take the classes I want!

My schedule consists of 3 art classes, a sewing class, and a religion class.

I'm a happy girl :)

My mom gave me a new box of crayons the other day.
She does this every year because she knows how much I like a crisp new crayon. It's the same way with all my school supplies.
NEW!
hah maybe it seems a bit silly but it's the "newness" of the school year that gets me all antsy with excitement!
New classes, new teachers, new challenges, new first impressions, new goals, new school clothes (maybe not this year...), new new new. I love it!

Kathleen Kelly (likely the best fictional character ever concocted) said it like this:

"Don't you just love...fall?
It makes me want to shop for back to school supplies.
I would send you a
bouquet of newly sharpened pencils
if I knew your name and address."

Thats when it hit me (my good idea that is). I'm going to do just that! Send one of you lovelies a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils along with some other essentials for school survival! This is my first ever give-away! And I'm all sorts of excited!



Here's how to enter to win a lovely bouquet of newly sharpened pencils and other such back to school essentials...

1. leave a comment for 1 entry
2. get another entry for being a follower! or become a new follower and get 1 entry! (please indicate in comment)
3. blog about this give-away on your blog and get 2 entries! (please link in comment)


The husband and I will randomly choose a winner on Saturday.

Won't this be fun?!!
