Thank you, Octamom!

Octamom, one of my favorite bloggers, introduced me to scrapblog.com when I discovered her blog last year. She has some amazing scrapblogs linked to her blog! If you want some “scrapping” inspiration, look no further!

You can imagine my excitement when she posted an offer from Scrapblog to make a free Mother’s card, paying only $1 for shipping. On top of that, she encouraged us to provide links to our cards, for a chance to win a free memory book from Scrapblog! (Now, Mom, in case you are reading this, I was already planning to make you a Mother’s Day card, before I heard about the contest, but since I already made the card . . .  🙂

I should mention that my contest “winnings” have, to this point, been rather unremarkable. I’m the girl who wins the free carpet cleaning in the drawing at the Indiana county fair, the summer when we are building our house and have not a stitch of carpet in the house! (Yes, I really did!) But with AIM name like ‘unboundedhope,’ you know I’ll keep entering contests till my dying day!

On Tuesday night, there was an e-mail in my inbox from none other than Octamom herself: “Hey, Girl!  You are the winner of the Mother’s Day Scrapblog card contest!”

I ran downstairs to tell my husband, I called my mom . . . of course, Mom thought I was a winner even before this contest! and she told me so. I love you, Mom!!

The wheels are spinning now . . . what kind of memory book should I create? . . . so many ideas . . . Micah’s baby book and his preemie story from last summer? Our trip to Florida next week?  . . .

Wow, I can’t wait! I will link it to my blog when it’s complete.

Thank you, Octamom!
