Hahaha! I couldn't resist the pun along with this picture. :D So what's my big news? Well, this posting has several components so please bear with me.First and foremost, it is my wedding anniversary! DH and I have been together for 15 years and I am truly blessed. Here's the fairy tale part of it all: It was love at first sight. For both of us. Did I believe that ever happened? Uh, no. And so I am sharing this true story with my blogging and stamping friends.
After a long night at work I opened my apartment door, turned the corner, and there he was on the couch with a group of our friends. It turned out that he was a friend of my roommate's boyfriend who, btw, was drunk so DH offered to drive that night.
(Warning grammarians, here come the cliches!) Angels singing? Check. Glow all around him? Check. Everything in slow motion? Check. Goofy grin? Double check, we were both smiling...and we have been together ever since. So Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband, who still makes my heart skip a beat all the time, like when I see him being silly with the kiddos, coaching his football and basketball teams, and especially vacuuming.
Second part - if you want to know a little more quirky stuff about me Club Anya is featuring yours truly in the blog today! Woohoo! I was so excited when Jessica emailed me to tell me the schedule and that it coincided with my anniversary! Consider yourself warned before you read my 13 facts, there's some weird stuff in there...I'll understand if I have less followers by the end of the day.
And finally...because my life focuses more on blessings and positivity, I wanted to celebrate today with all of my virtual friends! Here is my little surprise for YOU. Remember this from Monday?
Look at the banner on top...because I am hosting an egg hunt!! Guess how many eggs are on this house INCLUDING the 3 that Anya is already holding? Let me help out a bit, there was no intentional number, like, it's not 15 because DH and I are celebrating our anniversary. I was cutting and pasting eggs when I thought up this little challenge, so I had to count them after I was done. Please don't bother counting them in the pictures, and I say this lovingly because there are some that are peeking out only a little in the grass and hidden in the owl's tree. This isn't meant to be a tedious contest at all, you can just throw out a number. The contest ends on March 26th 11:59 EST, I will post the winner on March 27th's posting which is happily my sister's bday as well.So what's the big prize? Since I am uber honored to be a guest designer for Club Anya's 1st DT (TY Jessica and Marie!!), I am giving away your choice of 3 TGF DIGIS!!! Baseball Ian anyone? Easter Anya? Adorable storybook inspired Anyas? And don't forget her other fun Digis as well, I love this line! OR if you aren't a digi fan, then you'll have your pick of any single Ian or Anya image, any of the sweet fairies, or Dream Quotes and I will ask Marie to ship it directly to you. The correct guess on the dot or closest without going over will win. If there are multiple correct guess-ees (haha) I will draw a name using random.conscience which isn't a real site but will haunt me forever if I even think of cheating or playing favoritism.
Are you ready to start guessing? Please post your ONE guess on this blog in the comment section. This way when it comes time to reveal the actual number, it will serve as proof that it was you. If you don't have a blog or are having a hard time posting (sorry, I keep trying to tweak this problem) then please PM me on SCS (jonjinko) or email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com with 'Egg Hunt' in the subject line. I will post your name and guess in the comment section for the same reasons. International friends are more than welcome to join in!
Are you still here? THANK YOU for staying until the credits rolled! You can go now and post your guess. If you really want to look at the Easter House again in the post below (don't look too closely or you'll see the flaws, haha!), note that there aren't any hidden eggs in the back of the house, nor in the actual magazine holder, and the little Anya peeking out the side window doesn't have any eggs because she hasn't been outside yet. ;) Have a great day everyone!*Love and Aloha*
