Candid Carrie & Shauna~the~Great

candid carrie, carrie stuckman

I. am. so. lucky.

I just wanted to tell you that.

I have two beeeeooooteeefool, healthy children.

I have WonderHubby, who puts up with my tiredness and grumpiness (especially in the morning).

And now, I have the honour of being the winner of the fabtastic Blog Makeover Competition from the amazingly generous and wonderful Carrie.

Having just had a geeooorjeeus makeover herself, provided by Shauna~the~incredibly~talented, Carrie was offering one lucky reader the chance to experience the same joy.

She called it The Great American Blog Dream.
Being an Aussie, I was afraid that might disqualify me. ;)

But I was still hoping that it would be me, me, me! ~Regardless of how lovely this blog design is, it is still a free template and, well, it’s pretty limiting.

WOW! I think the last time I won something, it was a stuffed doll at a school fete and I was 13.

It was kind of embarrassing, being “almost an adult” and walking up to collect “my” new doll.

I never liked that doll. I sat on it every chance I got.

Being 13 was never a nice age for me.

Lurrrvvvee Shauna’s designs, though. This is one prize I’ll crow about for years!

And Carrie?

If I was childless, I would name my firstborn after you.

  2. Whooooweee! I’m on a high here :D
    That sounds fantabulous, Pauline.
    I’ll head on over and do the song and dance for your comp.

    If I win, I’ll name my next hairdo after you (since it’s a cap). :P

  4. What’s NCLMing Sharon? I couldn’t find it on wiki.

    Thanks for calling in… It’s lovely to learn that the drivel I spout elsewhere has tempted you to visit and read the drivel I spout here :D

  5. hi Jane
    I am doing National comment leaving month too - we have a commitment to leave 5 comments per day and return one new comment - from 25th May -25th June. congratulations on your win - awesome score !

  6. National Comment Leaving Month! Is that a new Hallmark Holiday?

    Jane, it is so amazing that you are this excited. I totally know exactly how you feel. Have you managed to get to the rooftops so that you could shout it your victory from up there, too ?

    And, why can’t you have more children, if you have or your husband have been surgically enhanced I understand … other wise you really should have a mini-me running around on the other side of your planet in a different time zone where the toilets swirl the wrong way.

  7. @Trish ~That’s the first I’ve heard about National Comment Month, I just seem to be spending a lot of time bloghopping at the moment.
    Thanks for the congrats, I’ll have to call back in to “see” you again today :)
    @Carrie ~I wouldn’t mind having 3 kids (or kidz), but there is a physical reason: with my lurvely body being so wiped out with CFS, I don’t really have the energy for the 2 I have already.
    A mini version of you running around would certainly be entertaining, though :P

  8. Love that you are so excited for your makeover! I am telling you, I still get this excited when I makeover my own blog! Ok - well, I cant wait to get going on your design - I am sure it is going to be wonderful!
