A few weeks ago, I was the recipient of a
blog give away from sweet
Carlia at The Stork Drop Zone. I was so excited, I never win anything! Carlia is always coming up with ideas to bring the IF community closer together, her posts are honest and helpful, and one day I'm going to ask her how to create buttons because she does an awesome job with that! I'm pretty sure she's headed toward her first IVF cycle and I really hope it brings her a BFP! I had every intention of sending a big "thank you" her way but it got delayed a little because I was in the middle of the IVF madness and it took me a few days before I could do the online shopping (which provided some stress relief btw) and use the $15 code at the CSNstores website. Anyways... since it was IF/blog related... I purchased a sweet little interactive baby book. My thinking was, if this IVF brings a BFP, I've just purchased the first item for a little Mac and/or PC:] We are major bookworms, so it's very fitting! If it didn't bring a BFP, it was going to be a gift for the next baby shower, and believe me, there's usually one around every corner.
But I sure wanted that little book. Anyway, it came the day before my beta and I left it on the porch until I got the news. I know. That's extreme, but some of you share my jinx feelings! Later in the evening after I got the BFP call, I brought in that little gift-to-self-via-blog-give-away and it was a
sweet moment to know that (hopefully) this little book is staying right here! So, thank you very much Carlia!
The blogosphere has been a great support system and I want to join in and give back as well. Up for give away is a cute little set of notepads and binder clips in the new Vera Bradley pattern, Lemon Parfait. This pattern reminds me of spring and new beginnings... and someone may be able to put these to use in organizing for treatments or (better yet) OB appointments and such. It's not much, but I'm so excited to have the chance to give this to someone. I like to do things really simple. If this is something you would like to have a chance to win, please leave a comment that lets me know you want to be included in the drawing. Then, this Thursday, I'll either figure out how to do one of those random number drawing things on the Internet, or, I'll do it the old fashioned way and put your blog names on a little slip of paper and have PC draw a name:] Keeping it simple... Good Luck!
