Triumphant Return and a Shabby Apple GIVEAWAY!

Wednesday, August 8, 2012


Hey friends!

So, I headed down to the docs bright and early to get my face back. The good news? I no longer look like there is a spider stuck to my face. The bad news? The results came back positive for basal cell carcinoma, which is a type of skin cancer. As my doc put it, no one dies from this. It's mostly a cosmetic issue. Which is lucky, because it's not like I care about my looks at all.

....crickets.....

Seriously though, the prognosis is good. It looks like it's mostly gone and if it comes back again, then stuff will have to get more invasive. But so far, so good.

But the best news of the day? I have a Shabby Apple giveaway for you guys. Thanks for putting up with a week of non posting guys! Freaky Friday will be in full effect soon.

Heeeeere's how to enter. Up for grabs is a $75 Shabby Apple gift card for U.S. residents only:
a Rafflecopter giveaway

You definitely need to use the widget to enter, because that's how I'll pick the winner. You've got 5 tasks that you can choose from, and only the first 2 are mandatory for entry. The others are just for funsies. If you leave a comment, do so on THIS POST so I can verify you as a winnah.

Giveaway will be doneso on 12am Friday morning so I can announce the winner before Freaky Friday. Got it? Good!

Now, sally forth my friends! (I'm sorry. I've spent my week off reading a biography on the wives of Henry the VIII and picked up obnoxious medieval slang) Check out the new lines over at Shabby Apple and pick something out pretty for yourself.

And, if you just can wait, use this code for 10 percent off: hownottodresslikeamom10off

YAY!

Sheriece said...

Oooohhhh! I love ALL the maxis and, since I practically live in all mine lately, I wouldn't mind having a new one. Especially one I don't have to put something under OR over (as you well know).

Glad your nose is all betters!

Allison Hill said...

Yay for no more spiders on your face, and don't worry at all about the diagnosis, seriously, my grandma has had about 6 of those removed over her life with the same story and she's like 85 and totally fine and gorgeous. No sweat.

Unknown said...

So glad you're feeling better and everything is okay. I would buy the CEO!!

AN Petersen said...

Well the dress i really want is out of stock in my size, but seconds go to Bon Voyage.

Jamie said...

Super cute stuff. If I get the card I'll probably get into trouble by not only spending it but a bunch of other money too! And which Henry VIII wife bio where you reading? The one by Alison Weir is awesome!

Temperance said...

I think I would have to go with serenade! Love the casual, pool-side look.

I would get the green maxi because 6 days after having the baby all you want to do is wear pajamas. And maxis are just as comfortable. Glad your nose is better!

Cute! I love your blog!

Yay for having a stitch-less face :)
Thanks for the chance to win!

You're always asking questions, Jae. Today I ask the questions.

Will I buy:
a.) Raquet club
b.) Heart of Me
c.) Golden Afternoon
d.) Billie (because that wouldn't suck for the work Christmas party)
OR
e.) Buy all of them


I wish I could type upside down. Because that's where I'd tell you that the answer is e.
