We're Feeling Zazzy!

We're feeling pretty zazzy over here today.

Why, you might ask?

Look over there. On the sidebar. Lower.

350 of you openly now admit to being here.

IN PUBLIC.

The Redhead is pleased.

So pleased that one of you brave people is going to do a little shopping on me.

And with Spring Break looming it's an excellent time to hit the CSN

LUGGAGE STORES !!!

I love some stuff that stands out! I hate being in the airport, waiting for my suitcase, 

and it looks like 50 other cases sailing by.

Which is why my bags are purple.

And I know you aren't surprised.

I've got $40 for one of you so you can stick out like a sore thumb just like me!

So let's do some perusing, shall we?

 Tell me you wouldn't spot this right away on the luggage carousel in San Juan.

Plenty of room for duty free rum.

 Jetting to Animal Kingdom? This set is a MUST! 

The zebras know when they're being upstaged.

 C'mon down to Miami with these sturdy cases! 

I'll meet you at the airport for Mojitos.

 A chic little jaunt to New York, perhaps? 

You could pack a lot of Halston in these babies.

(What? This isn't a fashion blog. What do I know?)

Yeah, you'd definitely stand out with these. 

Omaha, here I come! Get me a Marlin Perkins Martini!

The rules are simple to enter, and you have 5 ways to do it:

1. Become a follower, or admit that you already have a problem

2. Leave a comment

3. When's your next vacation, and where are you going?

4. Visit The CSN Stores and tell us how you'd blow your bucks

5. Blog about my giveaway or mention it on your blog, and come back and let me know.

There you go. FIVE chances to win $40 to play with.

The contest will be open until midnight, January 28 and the winner will be announced in the Saturday morning Going Shopping post.

I'll make sure I have really nice shoes for that one.

Hmmm, maybe this IS a fashion blog!

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sunny Pritchard Version Five Point Oh!

Today in Rehab we will be rolling out...

Sunny Pritchard Version 5.0!

Please install your updates. You'll need to restart your lunacy server. Thank you.

(What in the Meow Mix is she talking about?)

Simple. At midnight tonight...

...this face will be 50. Years. Old.
And I'm pretty danged cool with it.
I don't actually talk like that, by the way.
However, the cool thing is I have a little gift for you.
How about some discount shopping?

 You know. You want. THIS CHAIR.

There's a spot in the backyard just begging for THIS hammock.

 Two bathroom remodels looming on the horizon drew me to THIS. Three teenagers at home made me abandon the idea.

So I'll just be outside with the laptop and a mojito reclined in THIS, waiting for my personal ball to drop.

Now, how about a little Overstock.com shopping with a Rehab discount?

THAT'S RIGHT!!!

Hit up the fabulous Overstock.com, shop your tushie off, enter in Coupon Code

?121745?,

good for 10% off Overstock products (excluding movies, books, and electronics). This discount code never expires, however, it can only be used once per email address.
202234 

- free shipping promo code for electronics

So fill those virtual shopping carts lovelies and let's get a little extra taken off the top!
Let's get a little jump start on all those projects to correct the shady corners we take pictures around!
When you think about the already swell deals on this site, plus 10%, we're talking serious dead presidents back in the wallet.
Oh, the legalese stuff: All the ideas and opinions expressed are my own. No monetary compensation was received for doing this post, however, I was provided with a discount code.
As if someone could make me say something or sell out.
I'd like to see you try.
Seriously.
Make an offer.
I'm soooooooooooo totally listening.

Who Wants to Go Shopping?

September 6, 2009, three weeks after my house caught on fire, I sat down and started a blog.

What kind of nut job does that?

Wait, it gets better.

The day BEFORE the fire, that Saturday, we put up a new gazebo and did our very first blog shoot. Yes, I had plans! That went up in smoke!

I apologize for that last pun, sincerely.

However, you may have noticed that I like to celebrate things, so we’re going to do this with a CSN Giveaway!

 And in honor of this weird color that we've actually chosen to showcase our dining table, there's a $35 gift certificate up for grabs!

I think this set would look fabulous by the French doors.

 Although the simplicity of this one just calls to me.

And a dining set by Tommy Bahama? MINE!

So, here's 4 ways to enter:

1. Leave a comment on this post

2. Become a Follower and comment to that effect, or if you're already a Follower, remind me.

3. Visit www.DiningRoomsDirect.com and tell us what you'd blow your cash on
4. Blog about this giveaway and leave me a comment to let me know

That's it! 4 chances to win a little shopping spree at any of the CSN stores! You have until our actual Bloggiversary midnight September 6 to enter! The winner will be announced on September 7 at 9:00 AM EST.

And face it, you were going to make a comment about that green anyway.

There's Still Plenty of Time!

There's still plenty of time to get in on the GIVEAWAY and help a young family in need all at the same time!

A Brand New Giveaway!

Good morning! We're going to start Wednesday off with a Guest Spot and a Giveaway for a good cause! I'd like everyone to meet a blog buddy of mine...

Hi Everyone!  I'm Dani from Craft Rookie. I've been working on raising some funds for my good friends Stewart and Ciera who are in need of money to take Stewart to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to see a heart specialist.  You can read their full story by clicking HERE.

Sweet Sunny, who is going to be a sponsor on my blog next month (she donated, and you can too!!!) has offered to host a give-away here on her blog to help raise awareness of Stewart and Ciera's situation, and in the meantime, you get to win stuff, so that's totally awesome too, right?  Right!

So what are we giving away?

Handmade Greeting Cards!

I will be giving away three sets of hand-made greeting cards (two cards per winner, three winners).  You can see the whole selection of options by going HERE.  (Or I will even do special orders if you'd prefer!)

So how do you enter?
(Read instructions carefully.)

All you have to do is post a quick post about Stewart and Ciera on your blog.  It doesn't have to be long at all!  Just make sure you link back to either my blog: Craft Rookie or their blog: Sending Stewart to the Mayo Clinic so we can hopefully raise some more money for their medical expenses. Then post the link to your blog post in a comment here on Sunny's blog.  That's all you have to do to enter!!!!!  It will only take a few minutes of your time, and it could help out Stewart and Ciera a whole lot.

Good  luck!  The give-away will close next Wednesday, August 4th at midnight so don't wait to enter!!!

If you'd like to learn more about Stewart and Ciera or you would like to help by becoming a sponsor on my blog or purchasing more cards, you can go HERE to get more information.


If you would prefer to donate to them directly, or if you would like to donate crafts or services for them to auction off at their fundraiser in a couple of weeks, you can contact them by going HERE.

Thanks so much for your time and generosity.  Stewart and Ciera and  their two little boys are a great little family that deserve all the  help we can manage to give them.

So there you have it, a fun giveaway and a chance to help a young family! Let's get busy, Bloggers, and enter!
(If you do not have a blog but would like to enter, please just leave a comment. Nobody gets excluded around here!)

Don't miss out!

Who Wants to Celebrate?

Well, this was a busy week!

I topped 100 followers. That's kinda huge. 100 people just agreed to be seen in public with me, basically.

I have over 300 posts. 335 to be exact. That's a lot of rambling, drywall, and spray paint.

I've had almost well over 40,000 visitors, and that's since April when my buddy Michael put in the counter just for fun. Pretty cool. I have to admit, I like being stalked.

I've been featured in several places, like the wildly popular Tatertots and Jello, and I even got a blog award from Jami over at The Blackberry Vine!

So what should we do to celebrate? Oh, I know! How about the first ever

Life in Rehab Giveaway!

That's right, Rehabits (do you mind if I call you that?), the fabulous people at CSN Stores emailed me and said they liked my blog's message, look, and feel. At first, I thought I was being punked, but no, they were serious, and they thought it would be cool to offer me either a give away or a product to keep for myself and review.

Well, I love you guys, so $40 is up for grabs!

Now you know I'm a woman of very little vanity, but I do have not one but two major bathroom remodels coming up, so I was checking out the bling they offer up in the CSN Stores, and oh my...

 

How about this little number gracing Chateau Inferno?

I could quickly fall in love with this. My bathrooms are smaller than closets, and this has great presence, storage, and a nice compact size.

Or this. I'm easy. Make me feel like I'm in a spa.

Maybe just a little new jewelry? I look awesome in hoops. Oooo, shiny!

Now here's how to enter:

1. Become a follower and leave a comment telling me you're a follower, or if you are already, smack me with a comment to remind me.

2. Go over to CSN, poke around a bit, pick out your favorite items, and come back and tell us what they are in a comment.

3. Do a post on your blog promoting my giveaway, and then pop back over here with the permalink in a comment so I can blush profusely. You'd pay to see that, wouldn't you?

That's it! Three simple chances to win a shopping spree from the comfort of your own computer! You have until 6:00 AM EST Saturday July 24th. The winner will be chosen at random and announced Sunday morning.

What say we do a little shopping, Folks?
