Giveaway {SITS Style}

Hip, Hip, Hurray!

The girls over The Secret is In the Sauce are hosting a party--Spring Fling! This is an all day party of F-U-N! Each hour there will be a different giveaway and Monogram Chick has donated a waffle weave robe and matching small cosmetic bag (in your choice of color).

Head on over to the SITs site and enter away! {Sorry chickadees, you cannot register to enter here on the MC blog, you've gotta check out the SITsa's site.}

Here's the Spring Fling 4-1-1 according to the SITSas:

On March 10th we will be hosting hourly contests here on SITS as we've done in the past. We have some terrific sponsors lined up ready to give away prizes and coupon codes. Some of them you'll recognize from SITSmas and The Blogathon, but others are brand new so be sure to come comment every hour on March 10th to win some really fun stuff.
But it doesn't end there...
All of you will give something away on YOUR blogs too! We'll have a Mr. Linky set up for you to link your CONTEST POSTS to. It can be something new or used and doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate at all.
Maybe you're cleaning out your closet and have a purse you aren't using anymore. Give it away! Maybe you are dying to get the word out about some new product you've found that you love. Give it away! Maybe you make the meanest batch of chocolate chip cookies this side of the Mississippi...give them away!
So in between commenting for goodies here on SITS, you can cruise the SITStahood for even MORE goodies.
SO MANY PRIZES!!! And think of all that comment love. That, in and of itself, is the greatest prize of all.

I Love Me Some SITS

Y'all have seen me talk about the fab girls over at SITS {The Secret is in the Sauce}. They do a great thing for us female bloggers; creating an incredible network of support. Well, they are doing it up right agian and Monogram Chick is involved in the fun. I won't give away their secrects...you'll have to click over to check them out. The one hint I'll give is that there *may* be a special Monogram Chick {discount} code hiding out on their pages as well as an impending g*veaway.

*****It's Up! Go enter....NOW!*****

We are the 7th Hour of SITSmas fun.

Check out the The Secret is in the Sauce today! Each hour they are giving away a different Christmas goodie. Monogram Chick will be making an appearance over there today! Sometime during the day (I do not know the hour) you will have the opportunity to win 2 Personalized Plates! Whether you personalized them for you, your kids, or for "Cookies for Santa", these plates are the best!

I'm Back!

Holy Cow! We didn't roll into our driveway until 4 o'clock this morning, but we are home safe and sound. I know that there are many travelers who were not able to make it home and will be stranded for days, so I am thankful to have made it in the wee hours of the morning.

A few reminders for this week....

Tomorrow will be the SITSmas giveaway. The SITS girls {The Secret is in the Sauce} are great, check out their website and you'll be addicted too!

Thursday I'll be celebrating the big day with bloggy birthday fun you won't want to miss.

Friday is the last day to place an order at http://www.monogramchick.com/ to gaurantee Christmas delivery, please order now {pretty please?}

I will not be around as much in the next couple of weeks as I try to process and stitch orders (often past o'dark-thirty at night), but I will be lurking and missing y'all and will come back in full force once ALL the orders are shipped.

Until then, I will leave you with some "Preppy Decorating Tips" I found out in cyberspace. Maybe y'all will have time to pull some of these off, because right now I can only dream that the Christmas elves will come give my house some preppy Chirstmas decor!

• Cable-knit cuffs add a soft touch to stockings trimmed with playful belts and a bow
• Tie ribbons to boughs or loop them into a chain for your tree
• The mantel will look nice dressed up with evergreen branches sprinkled with glass balls and mini white trees. Finish the look with swag of twisted ribbons.
• For something different with gift wrapping, skip all the holiday-themed gift wrap and use colorful stripes or cheerful checks. Coordinate the colors and mix as many different patterns as you desire.
• To liven up your window views, string glass ornaments on bright ribbons across the window.
• Balance preppy polka-dots and striped prints with solid-colored balls.
• Create a corduroy stocking: Stuff a store-bought corduroy stocking with paper. Fold a six-inch length of cable-knit fabric over the top of the stocking and affix with hot glue. Attach bows and belts with hot glue.
• To make ribbon chains for the tree: Each loop: layer two equal lengths of coordinated (not matching) ribbon; affix lengths with double-sided tape. Align ends to make loop and attach with double-sided tape.
