Winners Week

April 19-23 began the annual Mother's Extravaganza Giveaway Week for Fabulous Fun Finds, a product review blog created by a local mother of three.  The blog features new giveaway items almost everyday as well as crafty tips and information about up and coming companies.  For the mother's giveaway week, close to ten items each day.  Let me tell you, everything is fun, quality items that any girl would want.  During the week's celebration, I submitted more than 100 entries for these fabulous products.  For every giveaway post, bloggers can enter to win the items by posting a comment describing what you liked on the participating companies product Web site, additional entries can be posted by including various promotional tasks such as following FFF on Facebook, Twitter and Blogger.  Once the giveaway items deadline has been reached, the creator of the blog will email winners within 24 hours.  This week I have been a winner of some fabulous, free giveaways. 

The first item I won was a small, black picture frame from Obrien Schridde Designs as shown below.  The retail value of this frame is $50.  I am looking forward to hanging this vintage-looking frame in the new house. 
This morning I woke up to an even better email from Fabulous Fun Finds indicating that I had one a second prize for my entries.  This time I had one a very fashionable yet practical purse from Miche Bag
In a few days I will receive a classic black purse insert with two shells of my choice.  I picked the gathered brown Kandance shell and the Silver Cori, a raised leather shell.   
Hopefully, tomorrow I will have one another Fabulous Fun Find giveaway to blog about.  I spent a lot of time entering for these all the week's items and I'm glad all my hard work finally paid off!

Graduation

Graduation is just around the corner and what a relief! This semester has been pretty good to me, but I am ready for it to be over.  I have several essays and projects to finalize before I will officially be done with class.  I'm looking forward to seeing my family at the Thomas and Mack on May 8.

 As for work, I am still working as a public relations intern for the City of North Las Vegas.  This job has been a serious blessing I work with great people, I have a flexible work schedule and I love all the fun things I get to do.  I have to say, coordinating City events is my most favorite task as an Intern, not to mention all the fun giveaways I get to purchase! Hopefully, once I graduate and the City's financial situation straightens out, I will be able to work full-time in the communication's department as a public relations specialist under my good friend and mentor Juliet.  I hope the next two weeks go by fast- Graduation here I come!
