100 Posts...Perhaps a Giveaway?

Its like the thing to do in Blogland. You reach 100 posts, and what do you do? You give things away, I mean...obviously.

As for me, I don't have cute little tassels, fabulous vintage finds (well, I do, but they're mine, MINE, all mine!), or cool swag. Nope, its just me. And no, I'm not sending myself to any of you, but I figured I could get creative. So I've rounded up a few of my favorite things. Incentive is always good. So here are just a few things that I thought I might send out to say thank you to those of you who have put up with me for 100 posts!

First, this uber fabulous RetroMama apron I dug up at the local thrift store. Its a sweet little hostess apron, complete with a pocket and a utensil loop. Adorable!

You can check out more RetroMama designs at her Etsy shop.
Second, I thought I'd giveaway a Starbucks card to my faithful readers. As a lover of Starbucks myself (even though I've worked there, twice!), I thought it was only appropriate. Although my dear friend Amanda comes to mind who lives much too far away from a Starbucks (At least I think she lives too far away, she may beg to differ). Oh well, we'll figure it out.
And thirdly, I thought I would give away a pair of these little beauties I made. Last fall I picked up something similar to this at Zellers for 5 cents each, and they were supposed to be Christmas ornaments. But they just made so much more sense hanging on the knobs to my TV armoire. Or my china cabinet. Or wherever. So I decided to make my own, and this is what I came up with. Love it!
I thought these might be fun to make up possibly to sell, or give as gifts. Any ideas on names? The first thing that came to mind was "Be-danglers" (I think as a take on BeDazzled) but then I googled it and the Urban Dictionary tells me that is the definition for "empty tube like breasts."
Oh, oh my. Well, back to the drawing board...

Now, onto the fun. I thought a quiz would be good. This will prove just who has been with me since the beginning (or perhaps those most savvy at blog browsing!). I thought I would put a deadline of Saturday (Sept. 12/09) at midnight for sending me your answers, and then I will do a draw of all the correct entries.

You can e-mail me at hollynepper@hotmail.com
*** I thought if I had people post answers on the blog, everyone would just copy the first person who replied, so I think having you e-mail me makes it a little more fair.

    BAHHHHHHHHHH! I died laughing. Are you sure you don't want to call your hangy thingys Be-danglers?

    Great idea on the giveaway. If I have time I will come back and enter by Saturday. I can already awswer about 5 off the top of my head.

    And being the mom of small children and the amount of painting, renos, redos that you accomplish is amazing. You make me tired :o)
