Only 2 hours left!

Hey everyone!

The second season of Downton Abbey arrived in the mail today (thanks Netflix!) so I am having a busy evening of drinking wine and pretending to be cooler than I really am. 

I just wanted to let you know that there is only a few hours left of my $25 Target gift card giveaway. 

Here's the post with all the details  - http://mysweetnomsa.blogspot.com/2013/03/target-gift-card-giveaway.html

Have a great evening and I promise to blog about something somewhat interesting (to me at least) tomorrow. 

~With Love, Ashlee~  

Giveaway Winner!! aka - Shame on Me

Oh my goodnessssssssssssssss.

(Just a photo of me on Easter that I haven't shared with you all yet). 

First off, hey hey hey! 

I know that I have been pretty absent for the last two weeks and I really apologize. With my new part-time job and the husband doing his law school finals, its been a really weird/crazy schedule these past few weeks. I am still trying to learn how to balance everything and hope to get it all normal again soon. 

It's a lot more challenging than I thought it would be to take on a part-time job, and still do everything I want to do with my business. I feel a little naive right now :)

Secondly, so remember when I did that giveaway for a $25.00 gift certificate to my store? Well, I have been a silly goose and never announced the winner. So I apologize for the delay, but I used random.org and it choose entry #9, so a huge congrats are in order for reader KNC!!! 

That lucky reader gets $25.00 worth of goodies from me to share or keep for their very own.

KNC - Send me an email at mysweetnomsa@gmail.com so I can get you your gift certificate!

Third, I am not sure if any of you have heard of this book series called, 'Harry Potter.' It's about a boy wizard and a dark lord and all the kooky adventures they have battling each other. 

O.M.G. 

I just finished the fifth book and why didn't anyone ever tell me how awesome this series is?!?! When I am not working, I am reading HP (nickname us cool kids call the books) and when I am working, I am thinking about Hogwarts and all the mischief this kids get into there. 

I totally get why everyone loved these books and am currently trying to restrain myself so I don't read the next two over the weekend (I really want to, but I know I am going to be so sad when they are over). Also, I have to work, so it cuts into my reading time a bit.

Fourth, I have not watched the Voice yet this week and probably won't get a chance to do it until tomorrow, but I assume that I am going to watch Jamar preform, watch his mama beam, and then I will cry. It's happened every single week he has sang, so I figure why break a tradition.

I hope you all are having a great week so far, and tomorrow I will share with you some of my favorite things I found on Pinterest lately!
