Fun in the Mail

Last week I left a comment on my BFF from college's blog for her 3rd bloggerversary, http://howell5.blogspot.com/2010/07/3-year-bloggerversary-giveaway.html and she pulled my entry out of a hat to win a prize. Yeah - who doesn't love to win a prize? The girls were super excited when they heard it involved Jelly Bellys..

So this weekend my box arrived, full with a cute Paul Dean serving bowl, water bottle, lotion, candle and Jelly Bellys - yum. I tried to serve our dinner of ravioli in the cute bowl the first night, but it you could barely see it because it only filled the bowl about 1/3 of the way. So last night we made popcorn so I could make a big enough "dish" for a photo...

(And no, Paula, I didn't add a stick of butter :).)

Thanks Melissa! I have decreed to the family that "thou shalt not use Mom's new water bottle," so hopefully I'll get to enjoy it for a few weeks before somebody breaks, wrecks or loses it :) Starshine has been inspired and wants to have her own giveaway. Maybe I'll get that organized after our upcoming fun family trip.

Oh, and since the girls got so much candy at this weekend's party, I'm hoping they'll forget about the Jelly Bellys I now have hidden in the cupboard!
