i was just having a so-so day today. nothing exciting ... kind of boring. but then the UPS dude pulled up in front of the house ... and i looked up and said "mr brown came to make my day a little brighter". little did i know! because he was bringing me the september KOTM ... which was exciting. but then i found this inside.
a golden ticket ... i actually got a golden ticket! there are 25 of these randomly placed in kits from august to october. i'm usually NOT a lucky person ... so this was cool! and to think ... i wasn't going to order the kit. i knew it was cute ... but i kept putting it off thinking i really didn't need it. but i kept seeing other designers showing off amazingly cute layouts and projects using it ... so finally, last week i gave in and ordered it. which was good ... because i notice that it's now on backorder. lol!
my lesson here? sometimes, just sometimes ... procrastination DOES pay off!
wow! how cool! lucky lucky you!!!

I am so happy for you!!! It could not have happen to a sweeter person. Best of luck being the winner of the contest!
Do you think you will be ordering Oct. KOTM too? It looks so sweet and perfect for all the daycare kids.
