Heidi at Wonder Woman Wannabe (fellow bible huggin’, live lovin’, crafty blogger) had a Chocolate Blue giveaway (custom signs and stationary) and guess what?
I won! Nothin’ kicks a writing slump to the curb, like getting a custom sign in the mail! Whoot!
When Emily, from Chocolate Blue, asked what initial and kid’s name I wanted for my wall sign…I blushed.
I was kinda-sorta thinking about getting a sign with my blog name. How ’bout putting on a big J. Cause my first initial is J and so is Just a Blink’s.
I stammered on about how I had 4 kids so it would be hard to choose which one to get done. But, really I fooled no one about just plain wanting something for myself!
I knew seeing this handmade, Just a Blink sign would inspire me, every time I looked in its direction. My new wall sign makes me think about all the reasons I blog.
I love to:
- write
- be in this little slice of blogdom I call home
- forgive myself for misplacing commas half of the time, at best
- record and remember the moments that blink by
- dream of my future just for the sake of dreaming
- think beyond myself
- hear from my readers
Plus, Chocolate Blue threw in two super cute handmade notecards. Cupcakes!
Sweet!
You’ll be hearing from me tomorrow,
Jess
