Favorite Halloween Story

September 28, 2009

Do you have a favorite Halloween adventure that you would like to share?  It might be your favorite Halloween party or a work related gathering or something related to your kids. Whatever it might be- it could you win some fun prizes.

I can think of a few fun Halloweens for me- I remember one year when I was working  we had a fun themed party at work. We decorated our work area and I dressed up as a nanny.  All of the people I was the manager of dressed up as babies and I was their nanny.  It was so much fun and great for the morale.  Since then my favorite Halloweens have involved Hailey. Her very first Halloween she was only a few weeks old- I dressed her up as cow and took her to meet our neighbors for the first time.  The next year she was Minnie Mouse and too young to really understand what was going on- but was cute as could be!  Then last year she was Tinkerbell and she loved going trick-or-treating… but even more than that she loved passing the candy out to the kids.  I have  a video of her standing in our driveway yelling, “Kids!  Kids!  Come get your candy!”  It’s too cute!!

I think my video would be perfect for Jack’s Quest.  Read more about it here:

The Big Reveal!

September 23, 2009

I don’t know if you remember but a couple of weeks ago I posted a video and had you guess what it was all about.  I didn’t know what it was about either- remember my Red Chair Confessions post?  It was called “What Did She Do?”  It was actually an advertising campaign- a very good one at that.  I had no idea what it was about but I did keep going back to see if I could find out.  All we knew was this lady had done something that she said she shouldn’t be doing, but she just couldn’t stop.  I had a feeling it was shopping related, but that was just a guess.

So- what was she doing?  Shopping at Talbots.  Now what is so shocking about that?  Well, I don’t know about you but when I think about Talbots I don’t necessarily associate their style with the younger crowd.  And this young lady was very nicely dressed with great accessories.  All because Talbots is now changing their image.  They are trying to get to the younger crowd by offering hip and modern clothes- and they are also affordable.

Check out the newest reveal in this campaign:

Since their advertising was so clever I think you should go on and check out Talbot’s site and see what your favorite item is.  Let me know what you like!

We’re Home

September 20, 2009

We arrived home on Saturday night from our trip to Disney World.  We had a fantastic time and didn’t want to leave!  I’m ready to start planning our next trip right away.  For now I’m trying to find my way out of a mountain of laundry and figure out what to do with all those empty shelves in my refrigerator.  Oh- and I’m sick.  I’m glad I wasn’t sick on our trip but I sure do feel terrible now.  But, we’re home!  I’m going through a couple thousand pictures and picking what to post and have printed.  And since I haven’t had any pictures printed since June 2008 I’m also going through all of those pictures and picking what to have printed.  Anywho- you can check out Livin’ With Me to see some pictures from our trip.

Do You Tweet?

September 10, 2009

So a while ago Rich convinced me to try Twitter.  I signed up and tried it once or twice and then was pretty much done with it.  But in the last couple of weeks I have been getting into Twitter.  I’ve found some friends to follow and even have some people following me.  Who knew?

Anyhoo- as I get into Twitter I realize that I have been missing out on lots of fun, including contests.  And you all know how much I love entering and hosting contests.  And believe it or not, I already have a contest to tell you about! The Netfirms contest is giving the chance to win 4 iPod Touches or 1 Macbook.  If you want a chance to win you have to tweet about the contest (see the rules to see exactly what you need to tweet).  Or you can buy a domain name using the Netfirms Twitter Domain Registration service for only $7.99.  Each one of these is worth one entry.  And you can retweet for another entry.

Check out this short video clip about tweeting the contest.

So are you all ready to enter?  As always be sure to check their site out to see what the specific rules and requirements are before you enter.
