I won the UPrinting contest!

Early last month I posted a bit about a contest to win 100 custom postcards and mentioned how helpful it would be with my new hobby of postcrossing!

Well, about a week or so ago I got an email that I had WON!  Just this morning I got the fulfillment information from UPrinting and made myself a custom postcard.  I used the photo I had taken at the Mets game of Honor Society’s 4 mics and home plate.  I just love that photo, I hope other people can appreciate it too.  I’ll probably hold at least one back to give to Andy from Honor Society the next time I see him because I know if anyone else is going to appreciate it – it will be him!

Perfect timing too, since I ran out of postcards this afternoon. I will have to wait a few days for the shipment, so I might pick up a few more cards to hold me over, but it will be so much simpler to add images of the cards once I am only sending out one kind! (Though if I see cool ones in my travel I will pick them up to mix things up a bit!) Often times I forget to scan the card before I mail it out and then I am left wondering – which card did I send them?  Will they scan it once they get it?

Well, I need to hit the mailbox before the mail man (or I think we have a mail lady, lately) shows up!

I love M&Ms!

This is a bit of a secret, but I guess it is time to shout it from the rooftops – I love M&Ms.;  When I saw that She Scribes had teamed up with Brands Unlimited for an M&M; giveaway, I was all over it.

She Scribes, with the help of Brands Unlimited, is giving one lucky winner 2 USB controlled M&Ms; items.  One is a USB Hub and the other is a USB powered fan.  Both are items I *wish* I had on my desk right now – and the fact that these are M&Ms; makes it even better!

I actually have 3 M&Ms; candy jars in storage.  Red, Yellow and Yellow as a cowboy.  Someday when I have my own place they will be on display.  Maybe in the office for paperclips, pens, etc… or maybe in the kitchen empty because you know M&Ms; would not last very long in my house 😉

You can try to enter too – if you don’t know what to get my for my birthday next month… *wink, wink* on She Scribes blog – http://shescribes.blogspot.com/2010/01/brighten-up-your-desk-with-m-brand.html

Even if M&Ms; desk decorations are not your thing – you should definitely check out the She Scribes blog.  There are great reviews and giveaways and it is one of the few blogs that I follow and read daily!

Hate to cut this blog post short – but I am trying to figure out how to spend my paycheck on Brands Unlimited products!!
