I WON A GIVEAWAY!!

WOOHOO! You read that right! I won a giveaway in my few months of blogging! What an awesome giveaway it was! The giveaway was hosted by Book Obsessed. The prize was from Easy Canvas Prints... and I won it!

So what did I win you ask? A sturdy and nicely made 8X10 Canvas Print of the photo of my choice! At first, I was having a hard time of deciding what photo to use. Since Lovahboy and I had a large canvas print made out of one of our Pre-Deployment pictures, I decided to go with one of my favorite pictures of our sweet boy Leonidas! Check it out!

This is on our wall, without a lamp near it's a little dark.

Moved to the couch where the light is better, it looks great! Colors are perfect!

Up close, you can see the sides. I chose to have a color wrap-around, but you can check out Book Obsessed, she chose a photo that would continue on the wrap-around.

The Easy Canvas Prints website was super easy to use! Shipping was fast, it was here three days earlier than expected! I will definitley be going back! I love the way canvas prints look and I am so thankful for being able to win this one!

I hope to work it over with the amazing Melissa from Easy Canvas Prints to host my very own FIRST giveaway! Would you be interested in winning an 8X10 Easy Canvas Print for the photo of YOUR choice?

Fall is in the air!

Hello all my wonderful bloggy friends! Fall is in the air!! These last few days in Virginia it has been in the high 60's during the day and maybe low 50's at night! I have totally cut off my AC! I think Fall is probably my favorite season. I enjoy wearing sweaters and hoodies and boots! not to mention super cute dresses with tights and boots! Another reason I like Fall being in the air is that it is another Season closer to my Hubs coming home! We still havn't had R&R but we are almost halfway through this dang deployment! WOOHOO! I have another appointment with my orthodontist this upcoming week, we will start getting measurments and impressions for the big surgery which is most likely going to be in November. Like I said in my last post, I am back in school! I am currently taking American Literature from the Civil War to Present, it's keeping me pretty busy as you can tell I havn't blogged in a LOOOONG time! This class is one of my last four classes before I get my associates in Public Health... THANK YOU COAST GUARD for paying for every bit of it!

I have some pretty exciting blog posts coming up! I have to blog about a giveaway that I won, the prize will be here this week, just in time for my birthday! I will probably be holding a giveaway with this company! So keep an eye out! By Friday I will have posted all about the giveaway I won and hopefully have information about how YOU can enter to win!

I also am so excited to blog about some AMAZING 8th graders and what they have done for my deployed husband and the guys that he is with! Keep an eye out for that! I am just waiting to get approval from their teacher to post the pictures they sent me :)!

Last but not least! I am being featured on Mystery Monday's by the lovely Suzanne at All Because Two People Fell in Love. Check her out to see what it's all about and if you are interested in being featured let her know! She just started Mystery Monday's!

MIA... it happens frequently with me!

I know, I know! I am pretty much one of the worst bloggers EVER! I have been MIA again! These days I am doing school work (only four more classes until my degree!), cooking and baking lots, and just being flat out lazy! I will admit that I tried blogging last week at least once, but the new interface really turned me off. I guess I will just have to get used to it. I do have somthing to blog about soon though! I won my very first giveaway!! I am super excited to put my order in and recieve my prize! I will post pictures once it arrives and hopefully even host a giveaway of my own with the same company! So be looking forward to that!

Right now, it's off to bed for me and Leonidas. He's already asleep on the couch beside me and I need to get into bed earlier because it is taking an act of Congress to roll me out in the mornings and we all now how hard it is to get Congress to do ANYTHING!

Have a wondeful Thursday Bloggy Friends!
