we have a winner

hello, my lucky charms. this one was super fun. how truly rad was all of your childhoods? very. i loved reading about your happy small worlds: the running free and the bike riding and the barbies and the roller skates and the sunshine and the otterpops and the mudpies and the cousins and the carefree long summer days of youth. (am delighted to report there was not a one that said their favorite thing about childhood was playing video games. yay! thank goodness.)

thank you for thinking up tiny soliloquies for me to read. i was tickled pink and impressed you were all up to the challenge. our random winner is lisa r. lewis. congrats! you've won your favorite art print from Den-10 Studio. please email me with your selection and shipping address.


tune in tomorrow, a darling bride spills her advice on making your wedding a personalized affair with flair. oooh, hers was just gorgeous. it's true, i'm a happily married woman in love with wedding details.

{i love weddings so much sometimes i wish birthdays were weddings. that should be the theme for my next birthday party; everyone arrive in a white frock with prom hair. we'll watch each other's wedding videos, devour bite size delectables and skim martha stewart wedding magazines. if i'm rich by then, i'll hire a dj for dancing on my kitchen linoleum. at the end of the evening, everyone goes home with a dainty bouquet. and a cute favor, of course. the valet will get your car. feel free to tip him, his name is dan.}
