Happy Blog-day to Me and a Goody Bag Giveaway

I almost missed it.  And then, this afternoon, I remembered that my wedding anniversary (17 years today!) is also my blogiversary, and I figured it would be sporting of me to post something.  So here I am, looking at the big oh-two.  Two years of throwing it all out there, and being amazed and delighted at what's come back.

To celebrate, I've decided to have a little give-away, but I haven't gotten around to deciding what I'm giving away.  Let's call it a goody bag, and assume that there will be some kind of jewelry and an assortment of goodies thrown in, because I'm cool like that.  We'll open it up to everybody---location notwithstanding--- and you can enter by leaving me a comment on  this post.  You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook for an extra entry, blah, blah, blah.  I'll choose a winner in a week---on the evening of the 26th.

Oh, and on an Always Greener note?  My Not Your Mother's Upcycled Giftbox was featured over at Chopstick Lady and Love2Upcycle.  Virtual high five!

My Creative Space: Feelin' the Love

This week has been chock full of happy surprises.  Like having my giftbox included in an Etsy treasury  just nine minutes after I listed it.  And being featured in another treasury only a day later.   Waking up this morning to find that Amy had posted the interview with me on her blog.  And sitting down with my breakfast and my laptop for my morning dose of Handmadeology to see the Dictionary Sacrifice Rosettes tutorial I'd submitted staring me in the face.  (It was kind of like when you pick up the phone to call someone and they're on the line already, having just called you.  Weird, but really good.)

So, getting a bit of much-needed exposure there, but there seems to be a real dearth of comments.  Feel free to comment, if you pop by, so I don't look like a total dork in public.  And while you're protecting me from total dork-dom, are any of you guys on Facebook?  If you are, would you mind taking a minute to "like" always greener?  (Because my FB and my self-esteem are strongly linked, and I know you wouldn't want to damage my fragile sense of self-worth.)

Moving on, then, to some surprises of a more mundane variety, like the grocery sack of toy ponies I nabbed at the thrift shop yesterday, just in time for Shani's birthday.
 
And the mysterious email from a friend I haven't heard from in years.  And the parking spot smack-dab in front of the dentist's office this morning---in the pouring rain, no less.   And the new Jasper Fforde book I checked out of the library.  And the tackle box I scored this afternoon on my way home from the library.  (Why would someone throw out a perfectly good tackle box?)
 
I hope your space  has been full of pleasant surprises this week, too!
