Winner!!

First off, I LOVED learning about all of you!  Thank you to all that entered the giveaway.  I had just as much fun reading your answers and you said you had reading mine!  The winner of the giveaway is...

K. Davis who said:

such a fun giveaway!! That camera strap would match a skirt I just made for myself out of the same fabric!

If I could visit any place in the world, it would probably be Bali.... (definitely do Scotland, it was GORGEOUS!)

I can't leave the house without my lip gloss!

My favorite author is either C.S Lewis, or Jodi Picoult (two completely different spectrums, all depends on what I'm in the mood for)!

Winners and Prayers

Hey friends.  Happy Saturday to you.  I have some winners to announce, but I have a prayer request.  When I got this message from my friend I got teary eyed.  I am sure you all know who Erin of The Vintage Pearl is.  :)  She is such an amazing person.  Though I have never met her in person, I have been friends with her for almost 2 years.  She has help me a lot with my business, and as you know, her business is just booming.  I am so proud of her.  She has accomplished a lot.
Anyway.  I got a message from her this morning that her mom unexpectedly passed away yesterday morning.  I am so sad.  Losing a parent would be so hard.  I have cried for her, prayed for her, and sent messages to her letting her know she is in my thoughts and prayers.  Would you all mind going to her blog and leaving some love for her too?  Click here.  Let's show her lots of thoughts and love and lift her and her family (especially her dad) in prayers.  Thanks everyone!  Life is precious.

The winners are as follows.

Winner of the t-Shirts are:  Sydney & Jodi

Winner of the Couture is: Ashley!!

Hurray ladies!!  Email me your addresses!  :)


OK.  So regarding the t-shirts.  We are going to have them professionally printed.  So stay tuned for that!  :)  And the angel wing shirts... LOTS liked those.... haha!  The wings were printed on the back of my girls' shirts.  Someone had asked that.  IF you're interested in a wing shirt, let me know.  Depending on the amount of requests I might just list them in my store.  We will see, though.  There are a ton of other designs I want to try out too.  :)

I also listed some more new stuff! WOW!  ;)  Check it...

This Couture sold, but wanted to show you all anyway.  It was Twilight inspired.  haha.  Figured it was fitting since Eclipse comes out WEDNESDAY!!  Yep.  I am meeting some friends on Tuesday night for dinner and a seat at the midnight premiere!  :)

Navy Blue, White & Pink.  :)

And my newest favorite!  The Pleated Chain.  LOVING that green ruffle!!!

Yep!  All but the Couture are available in my store now!  :)  Click here.


OK.  I missed out on the aquarium with my hubby and girls today to catch up on orders, because I am behind.  Better get back to it!


xo,

Giveaway winners!!

I know I have been a bad bad blogger!  Currently sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on.  Oh and writing, I will blog more, I will blog more, I will blog more...

Though, this coming week is going to be SO SO busy!  I am only working 3 days this week.  Well, 2 1/2 days really.  Wednesday I am flying my girls out to my parent's house in North Carolina, where they get to stay and visit for 3 1/2 weeks!  I fly back home alone on Thursday afternoon.  Friday afternoon, my husband and I are leaving for Vegas for the weekend!!  I can't tell you how excited I am to get my hubby all to myself!  And not only getting my husband to myself, but getting my husband to myself while we escape for the weekend!  Such a rarity.

It's always so weird when my kids are gone the few weeks in the summer they are visiting their grandma and papa.  So quiet.  I slowly get used to it, but by the time they come home I am so excited and cry at the sight of them when the realization hits me of just how much I have missed them.

So, I hope to blog more this week.  Lord knows I have tons to share, just not a lot of time to do so.  I am so exhausted right now that I won't be mustering up the energy to upload, edit and post pictures of Angelina's school program, her birthday party, etc etc.  But I will very soon.  Perhaps tomorrow.  :)

Rap Stars

I have had a pretty crappy day.  Ending with my daycare woman telling me that Zoe is no longer allowed to come back because she's mad at me and thinks I lied and screwed her over, because Mike and I made the decision to take her out of daycare and put her in preschool starting next week.  Sigh.  Which in turn leaves me with 2 FULL days I need to work, but now can not.  Needless to say, I was extremely saddened, hurt, stressed and ticked off after this conversation with this woman.  While crying and drowning my sorrow in a little tub of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, my friend Denise came to my rescue.  :)  Did you know that she and I are rappers?  Well, it's true.

Denise was talking about her memory and being old.  Which she isn't.  haha!  That is how our little rap got started.  OK... So, our Twitter rap went a little something like this - Break it down!  :)

sheyb

Hilarity, I tell you!  Denise was successful in making me laugh  Not just laugh, but laugh so hard my stomach hurt, and my eyes watered.  The stress of 2 full days of not being able to work was momentarily forgotten and she was there to comfort me - through rapping.  Who said rap was a bad thing?  Well, not according to my fell rapper, PDM [polka dot moon/Denise] or myself, Shey to the B.  So yo!  Next time your friends are down, turn their frown upside down with a little rap. ;)


Peace!

Excuse Me As I Wipe The Drool From My Chin {winners enclosed too}

Ummm...

so, my husband went

to Cycle Gear yesterday.

He returned with some new

items to help keep him warm 

on his commute to work.

All I will say is that this morning

as I shot the following pictures 

I was practically having to 

wipe the drool off my chin.

Motorcycle riders in full gear,

a black helmet with a black visor...

Oh my my my!  

And my husband wearing that...

Wowza!

 

 

My husband is hot.

But with his motorcycle helmet on

and his leather jacket

and leather gloves.

Sitting on his bike...

WHOA!!!

The temperature just went up in the room!!!

I am sweating.

He is sizzling hot.

Like so hot I told him to go to work.

Or I wouldn't let him leave.

If I am getting too TMI for you,

sorry.  But I just. can't. help it.

So he went off to work.

Cuz he had too.

But, he'll be home later...

:D  he he he.

OK.  TMI, I know.

But, the spark is still there.

Definitely still there!  LOL!

 

***

Today it's raining.

I am so happy about this.

Rain is rare in Arizona.

So when it comes, I get giddy 

like a little kid. Makes me want to curl up

on my couch with my girls and 

watch movies all day.

But, I can't.  I am buried 

up to my hazel eyeballs with orders.

I have over 170 orders to get done 

so that people can have their camera

"clothes" for Christmas.

I feel blessed.  Overwhelmed.  But so blessed.

Thank you thank you thank you.

You're all awesome.

xoxo.

****

OK, so I am about to announce the winners.

But I wanted to mention something first.

I won't be doing anymore 

giveaways until after the first of the year.

{I think it's weird that in less than a month we will be in 2010 already}

After the first of the year,

I will do giveaways 2 times a month for others.

But, I will be doing giveaways for advertisers only.

Advertising is 1 key way to get your name out there.

I advertise a lot.  

It's worth it to pay for advertising.  Most of the time.

My rates are not expensive.

If you're interested in advertising with 

The Benner Daily, please email me.

shealynn AT gmail.com

Reserve your spot now.

Since I am only doing 2 giveaways a month

space is limited.  :)

OK.  Moving onward!

Winners.

Who are you?

I am announcing winners to ALL of last week's 

giveaways.  Right now.
