It's Here! It's Here!

It's arrived! It's here! Woo hoo! Yippee!

You don't know what I'm talking about? Oh, I forgot, some of you may not know, some of you have not yet been blessed to meet ADHD-Jo at Monkey's are Funny. Now don't let the name scare you away! ADHD-Jo is NOT a monkey but she IS funny. She has quite a "cheerful heart" healing ministry over at her blog so you must go check it out.

Anyway ~ A couple of weeks ago she decided to join the "Prize Give-away" band wagon so she held a drawing to whoever entered. Here are some of the details from her blog, of what the contest entailed just so you don't get confused.

"Everyone that adds a comment to this post and/or my next three (that's 4 posts total for those of you that are mathematically challenged) will win a prize. I'm not sure what it will be.

So maybe the prize will be a book. maybe it will be something else. It could be a piece of candy or maybe even a clothespin, or a Shrinky Dink---(if you have kids or at least know someone who does, you know what a shrinky dink is) Maybe the prize will be a brand new PENCIL!. The options are endless."

You can imagine how much I wanted to win this can't you! Well, You guessed it, I won! And I've saved this moment to open this unknown prize with you. So are you ready? Ok, let's get started.

ADHD-Jo Prize

Here is the package as it arrived in the mail, except the postman could actually read the addresses.

Handcrafted keychain?!? And she said she wasn't crafty! LOL!! Too funny. She certainly put a lot of time into it. If you've ever done shrinky dinks - you know that key chain had to be at least 12" long before she cooked it, which means she spent a lot of time coloring.

Too funny. What a great referal blog. Have a great day. Enjoy your lovely prizes!

The Equipped Life said...

That was great... I'll have to go visit her to make sure I get in on the next 'great give-a-way".

Edie, I'm curious... do you post ALL of your blogs at 1:00 in the morning?

Have a blessed day,
Barb

Congrats Edie...those truly are some great gifts from the heart.

Karen Hossink said...

LOL!!!
I want to see a picture of you sporting your nifty badge!

Debra said...

Oh man! I want one of those shrinky dinks. Never heard of it-well, my son is 18, guess he's too old!

Of course Edie! I am thrilled you want to have a Sparrowgrass collection! I am more than thrilled-I am in awe of God. I had no idea He would use me this way. I am holding back the tears...
Love, Debra

Stephanie said...

Fun! It must be weird in a way to receive real live objects from someone in blog land! :)

Sonya Lee Thompson said...

This was so much fun! I felt that I was right there opening the prize with you! Fun, fun! Loved it!

Alene said...

Too cute! I'm cracking up. How fun though? You can tell a story with those pics. Love it. Blessings girl.

My ADHD Me said...

Note to comment from Stephanie- Don't worry, they weren't actually alive. Weird, yes...but not alive.

To debra- you too could be the proud owner of a MyADHDMe keychain. Just enter the next contest. You would, however, be expected to use it. Could you take that kind of pressure??

Edie said...

Barb - I have just started scheduling my posts but I have often posted at 1:00 am or later (earlier?).

ADHD-Jo 1st comment - Do go visit My ADHD Me! You will have a great time! She is lots of fun and has a beautiful heart.

Irritable Mother - Ok, just as soon as I see that video your son suggested of you handling their fight. LOL

Debra - See ADHD-Jo's 2nd comment. Thank you for allowing me to use your photos! I'm so excited!

Stephanie - Yes it is hard to imagine that all of you are REAL people! LOL

ADHD-Jo 2nd comment - What do you think this is a chat room? ;D

My ADHD Me said...

This isn't a chatroom? Oh dear. And here I was chatting away. I guess I go say something on your next post...er...I mean something else.

P.S. I DID visit MyMADHMe's blog. Cracked me up.

Oh brother. Did you really think that was my REAL return address? That was ADHD-JO's address, not mine.
