Verna(l) Equinox

Hey! Remember when i showed you these?

Look at them now!!

"In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours."~Mark Twain

Despite not knowing whether to wear a sweater or a t-shirt, i really love this time of year. It's clear that we have finally turned a corner from the bleak all-shades-of-grey winter and are beginning to make a colorful transition toward spring. Actually, Spring's "official" arrival is this Saturday, the Vernal Equinox.

Did someone say Verna? No better way to celebrate Spring's arrival than with a giveaway! How would you like one of these to pop-up in your garden?

(it's a rolled layer cake, and don't worry it won't come with dirt)

To win this, all you have to do is balance an egg on-end, take a picture and send it to me. Just kidding! (whew, right? wish i could've seen your expression when you read that though) But did you know you can actually balance an uncooked egg on-end any day of the year, not just on the equinox?? I've tried, unsuccessfully...but this person actually did it. I liked that they cracked the egg open at the end (no trick eggs for them)!

For this giveaway, please let me know what your favorite flower is. Much easier, right? Oh and if you link to my blog, follow me on Twitter (even though i'm a lame tweeter), or blog about this giveaway, let me know and your name will be entered once for each thing you do to spread the word! I'll be saving some trees this time by using random.org's number generator.

For the second name picked, i'll send some of these cutie cute cherry blossom takeout containers i designed for
The Gift Wrap Company

(and a gift bag or two, too)Names will be drawn this Saturday March 20th at 1:32 PM EST. Happy Spring!

Cherry Blossoms

Bill, my Fedex delivery person, has come bearing more gifts! The great people at The Gift Wrap Company sent me an approval swatch of the wrapping paper they're making for spring 2010. As soon as I got it, I wrapped a box to see what it will look like on a present. So cheery and fun! I love the way it turned out and can't wait to see the accompanying products — they're also making some gift bags and cute little chinese takeout containers!

In case you can't wait until spring, Gina B. Designs is now offering these stationery items for sale on their website and you'll be able to find them in stores soon. I keep the list pad on my fridge so it's at-the-ready for grocery lists and "to do" stuff.
