Spring Fling and 2 giveaways

Of course, today I am late when there is so much and a lot of bloggie parties going on!

So, I have been sitting here debating on what to giveaway for the Secret Is In The Sauce Spring Fling. I really had and still have no clue. I don't own anything nice to give away so I've had to come up with something.

Since I couldn't make a choice and because K would be mad if I didn't give the one thing away, I'm going to do two giveaways. The one giveaway is for a 2 year subscription to Organic Gardening magazine. Yay! I just recently subscribed to this magazine. They have a website where you can get tips and info on gardening organically.



The second giveaway was handpicked by K and is special to us. We love to go to our "secret" beach and look for sea glass. Well, the other day we found just an absolute ton of glass so we are sharing the love. What do I want with sea glass you might ask. Well, it looks lovely put into jars and put in front of the window. You can make jewelry out of it. Whatever. You'll get some pottery, some glass, and maybe a little surprise.



Here's the details. I will pick two winners on Thursday, March 12th. How to enter:

1. Leave a comment letting me know which one you'd rather win if you have a preference.

2. Get an extra entry if you're one of my followers.

Pretty easy I think! Have fun and go check out the other SITSta's and their giveaways.

Trudging Along

Did you miss me?! I have been so busy the last few days. I'm going to need a serious vacation by mid-March.

I've been babysitting for my cousin off and on for the last couple of weeks and probably more next week. My aunt usually does it for him, but she had surgery and can't pick the baby up. He is the sweetest thing and sooo cute. One of these times I'll remember to bring my camera. I know. I'm such a bad blogger at times.

Then, since I cannot wait until warm weather, I've been doing some inside gardening. Here is my sort of succelent garden. The plants aren't all succelents (not much selection in my area) and kind of mish mashy, but I like it. It's in a vintage porcelain basin that lost it's pitcher at some point. My dad gave it to me, and I couldn't part with it so I had to find a use for it. Plus, it makes a perfect home for my sparkly black skull.



And, there is the cleaning. My dad, again, talked me into buying this amazing vintage drafting table. Solid wood and gorgeous. It's my new worktable. I've been wanting one of these drafting tables for years. I just love the look, and it's so perfect for my needs. But, I had to seriously clean my makeshift workroom to get it in there past my current horrendous and huge table. Isn't it fantastic?! Ignore the mess. Remodeling. That's all I'm going to say. ;)



The Mad Hatter ring orders are almost all caught up after their press. Wish me luck as I'm making things for gift bags for the USC Fashion Show. I've got to have them in the mail by next week. Let's hope everyone likes them!

So, what have you been up to?
