Lucky streak

This is my second time winning a giveaway from Elizabeth from Fine Little Day. This time, she hosted a giveaway from Malinka for this beautiful necklace made with Liberty fabric!

I love the bow detail. I could wear it on the front, the back or the side. I quite like it at the front.

The second best part of this package is the amazing stamps! This is definitely going in my stamp collection. Thank you Malinka and Elizabeth!

I just joined Pinterest, and it is totally addicting.

I decided to draw 4 more people to play the sour face game, so I drew a total of 14 names! Thank you for all those who entered to play! I wish I could send you all some candies!

These are the people that I randomly drew out of the jar!

If you are on this list and you have not recieved a message/e-mail/comment from me already, please e-mail me so that I can get your mailing information. I will send you some Super Lemons right away! You can e-mail me at bonjour.celine(at)gmail.com.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks, we will see some sour faces! I cannot wait to see what everyone does!

sour face

If we go back to the Photobooth photos from the Yard Sale Trunk Show, you may have noticed that a lot of people were making one particular face.

The sour face.

We brought these candies called “Super Lemon” that are pretty sour at first (although some will deny it, *ahem* Jin!), then it mellows out to be pretty tasty. I had a lot of fun photographing people’s reaction to this candy!

I wish I could to meet all of you and photograph each of you myself. Since that is not possible at this moment, this game I just made up is the next best thing. I thought it would be fun if you did your own sour face. I can send you some Super Lemons, and in return, you send me a photo of your sour face reaction!

Your photos will be posted here; it will be fun to see the results of everyone’s photos and reactions together!

Leave a comment by Friday July 9th, 5pm E.S.T. and depending on how many people want to play, I will randomly pick a bunch of people (hoping 10 or more?) and announce the winners next Monday.

Thanks for playing!

p.s. if you’ve already had this candy before, or if you were already at the Yard Sale Trunk Show, you should still play!

p.p.s. in these photos are Jin, Gabe, and my brother is in the middle. Henry!

And the winner is....

Congratulations Jen Hsieh! I drew your name out of the jar!

And a double congratulations to Jen, because, her and Kyle recently got married!!! I got a sneak peak of her wedding photos, and it looked gorgeous!

Thank you all for entering, the response was more than I ever expected! I am so glad you all said hello, now I met a lot of new friends!

bonjour! giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your kind comments on our ballooning adventure! I was so flattered with the response! I hope you all get to try it some day, and I advise you to dress very warmly if you go on an autumn morning. My feet were frozen when we were up in the sky!

I have something I want to tell you, and I hope you will like it!

Remember my schedule book? Well, the 2010 books came out, and I have an extra one this year. I want to give it away to one of you, my dear friends.

I love these schedule books by Shinzi Katoh, they are filled with his playful illustrations on every page. I love the practical layout they created, perfect for someone like me, who needs a lot of space to write out really messy, ever changing lists. This year, they made the book smaller than the previous years, so it is the perfect size to fit in your bag.

I also wanted to give you something by me in my very first giveaway! On the theme of planning, I remember when I took this photo, I was anticipating how much fun we were going to have on our upcoming trip to PEI. I hope 2010 has a lot of exciting things in store for you!

Do say hello, and leave a comment here by Monday, October 26th, 12:00 am EDT. I will draw a name and announce the winner next week! The lucky winner will get a Shinzi Katoh schedule book, and a 10cm x 10cm "bon voyage" print, printed on archival paper with archival ink.

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!
