It's Thursday

First, the giveaway winner!




Congrats, Corinne. All I need is your e-mail address!

Second, it's Thursday! I'm still going private. I don't know how long I'll be private, but I feel like it's the right choice for now. If you haven't given me your e-mail and want to keep reading my blog, it'll be public probably until the end of the day, so leave your e-mail in the comments or.. e-mail me telling me you want to keep reading.


Happy Thursday! I've got some retail therapy on my agenda today!

Going Private

I decided to switch my blog to private on Thursday, after I announce the giveaway winner.

I miss blogging for myself, instead of blogging for an audience. I don't know how to combine the two yet, so in the meantime.. I'm going private.

I also suspect that people I know have found my blog.. and I don't like that. At all. Don't ask why, I just don't. Soooo, if you would like to continue reading this, leave your email in the comments or you can e-mail me (kelliestark7@gmail.com).. saying you want to keep reading.

Giveaway!

Since before I can remember, I have wanted a vanity for my room.

I think all the girls know what I'm talking about. The mom's in old movies would sit at their vanity, spritz their perfume and apply their make up. It would look something like this..


and it was glamorous.

That's probably why I've always wanted one. It's glamorous! Then again I've been secretly designing my future home for years. From the bedroom to the kitchen, I have been picking paint colors and furniture for my perfect home. So imagine the pure joy I found when I discovered the CSN stores. Stores like allmodern, justvanities and 200+ others.

And now you can share in my joy, because CSN is offering to one of my dear readers, a $40 gift certificate, good to use at any of their stores. (I have to admit though, AllModern is my favorite! I'm jealous of you guys. I'd love that $40!)

To enter:

1. Check out justvanities.com and leave a comment saying you want the gift certificate.
2. Be/Become a follower.
3. Tweet/Blog about the giveaway.
4. Tell me how you picture your perfect bedroom.

Remember to leave a separate comment for each entry.. you have a week or so to enter. Gooooood luck :)

Giveaway!

I've been thinking of doing a giveaway for the longest time, but I could never quite figure out what I should give away! A lot of people give away crafty items. Handmade necklaces, headbands, other jewelry and crafts. Here's the deal folks. I'm not creative.

So it took me a while to make up my mind about what to giveaway. And I've decided to giveaway a goody box of my favorite items! You heard it. What items will be included, you may ask? Well, that's just going to be a part of the surprise!! But I'll let you in on a couple of the items. Included in the goody box will be: My favorite book.. candy.. and magazine. I intend on including some cutesy pieces of jewelry as well as some other little surprises!

I hope you all understand why I'm not giving this all away- I just think it would be MUCH more fun to open the box and have the items be a surprise!


So here's the deal. If you want to enter, there are 4 chances. I just added the 4th entry option so make sure you do it! I've decided to write the names down and draw the winner! I thought it would be more fair- so if you want to make your entries together, go ahead.. just make each one clear please! So the more entries you have, the better chance you have of winning :) Here's how you do it:

1. Just leave a comment (2)
2. Become a follower! If you already are- another entry. Leave a comment. (2)
3. Tweet/blog the giveaway. Leave another comment telling me you did. (3)
4. Answer this question "What is one thing you absolutely MUST do before you die?"(1)

It's as simple as that! The contest ends 8:00 P.M. pacific time on Saturday the 23rd. Good luck!

P.S. If you're a male and want to enter.. if you win I'll gear the box toward you! This isn't gender specific. If a girl wins- I'll send girly things. If a guy wins- manly things.
