Yikes, 52 comments today. I’m in trouble with all of you, huh.
Okay, I have to say that even if I’m in trouble it has been so much fun doing these contests. I never want them to end! This is a serious character flaw on my part. You may agree when I share a little more about myself…
I was the girl who kept her Halloween candy under her bed all year b/c the idea of having a treat was more fun than eating the treat. When Brian gives me a card, I carry the card around in my purse all week before I open it. Just thinking about what he wrote makes me excited! And then there is Fed Ex and UPS. They drop a box off, and I let it sit right inside the front door for sometimes 10 days before I open it. I love, love, love passing by that box and wondering what could be inside. At about ten days into this insanity, my family freaks out and threatens me with “Either you open that box, or we’re taking matters into our own hands” with steak knives and scissors in hand, ready to cut through the duct tape.
So you see. I’m not trying to make anyone suffer. I’m having fun! Aren’t you! π
Brian says it’s time to call it quits. He’s right. Here we go friends!
The THREE blessed, lucky, freak out “it’s you!” winners of the Sony Alpha DSLR Cameras, partly sponsored by Women’s World magazine, and did I mention that these three winners were randomly picked out of 7000 people who entered! Did I mention all that?
FYI! This is what they are getting!

Ladies, it’s time to claim your Sony Alpha DSLR Cameras!!
To claim your camera, email Genie at genie@fioria.us with your shipping address (must be within United States), and we will forward your info on to Sony to have your new camera and lens shipped out in time for summer vacations!!
A Big Congrats! It’s pretty amazing that out of 7000 people, your three names were randomly drawn! Celebrate tonight and if you feel inclined, you can post a comment to thank Sony and Women’s World magazine for doing such a cool contest with us!
The wonderful mom who is the Running On Empty Winner for the Seattle Workshop this weekend,
who needs a break and finally gets one this coming weekend b/c the workshop fee is on us, who needs inspiration, creative infusion, a window in time to laugh, to cry and meet some new life long friends, this wonderful lady…so hard to choose (and I’m so glad I’m not the one who has to pick the winner), but since there is one spot for her, this beautiful woman will beeeeee….Sarah W.!! She’s even got a sweet blog! Check it out!
And Lindy, Brian and I talked about your situation. You were one of the 50% off winners for the Discovery Workshop but couldn’t make it. We know how hard that was for you. So here’s the deal, if you can get to WA, find a place to stay and be at the Hotel Murano by 9am on Saturday (or the Meet and Greet on Friday night at our home), we will welcome you with open, excited arms and have a spot reserved with your name on it! What’s it going to be Lindy!
Sarah and Lindy, can you email Genie ASAP to get caught up on the homework due for this weekend and all the travel details like what to bring, what to wear, what to expect, a questionnaire for you, etc. (genie@fioria.us)
With all this today, what could I post tomorrow? Never fear, working on tomorrow’s post right now! π
Much love,
Me Ra
