Thanks to all you guys who left comments about your favorite quotes! Sandy’s name was pulled out of the hat so she won a signed print copy of PUSHED and a 25.00 Amazon Gift certificate. Congrats!

Okay…Now onto what Honey Found. Heheheh.

Here’s most of the stuff from our original big giveaway. I think I’m missing the apple candle (which I found after I took the picture) and the clothes peg flash drive (which I found as well) Now, what I added to this (or rather, what Honey did, are the bangles). I was going to give you guys a choice between the silver and turquoise cuff he bought and these bangles – but then I remembered about the Guess bracelet and with it being silver I figured the gold bangles would be better to add for variety. (We’ll do the silver cuff bracelet for Persuaded’s release)

So, this is how it goes.

I asked him, “Hey, why did you buy this color jewelry?” (both the cuff and bangles have turquoise color in them)

He says, “It’s your favorite color.”

Me. *blink blink* “You do know these aren’t for me, right? That I’m giving them away?”

“Yeah.”

“So you could have bought any color you wanted.”

“I like turquoise on a woman. The best gift I ever bought you was a turquoise and silver bracelet.”

“Oh.” This was good to know. I was a little surprised that he remembered that little gift. “Okay.”

So there you have it folks. Honey got a purchase right when we were kids. I think I was seventeen at the time. The purchase was special to me, not so much because it was the right color, but it was an item he’d bought me for no particular reason. There was no special occasion, birthday or anniversary. He’d just seen it and thought of me. When he gave it to me he told me just that. He said that he thought about me a lot when we weren’t together. So yeah, I still have that tarnished item, by the way. *sniffle, sniffle* Good times to remember. But back to how this pertains to my giveaways.

I’ve told Honey that in the future, if he screws with my swag stuff and has to make up for it by adding an item to a giveaway, he can’t buy jewelry. His comment about that?

“Alrighty, stuffed animal it is.”

If you can imagine me scowling as he walked off, please do so. Did I mention the second gift Honey got right when we were young was a stuffed frog that was as tall as me? I always loved frogs and when we went to a big fair our first summer together he won it for me. Unfortunately, my mother gave that gift away to one of her friends kids while I was working one day, so I don’t have that anymore. She thought I was nuts when I freaked out over it. I loved that frog. I always put it on my bed after the bed was neatly made and it stayed on my bed when I slept. How could she have given it away? *sniffle, sniffle*

Point is? Do not be at all surprised if Honey has to buy something for a giveaway in the future and it turns out to be a stuffed animal frog. That’s all I’m saying.

I think it’s kind of romantic and speaking of romantic. I have the giveaway stuff in my hot little hands – and our remodel isn’t even done. How is that possible, you may ask? Well…Honey went to the storage unit and searched for my stuff. Actually he went there twice. A week ago Sunday, he told me he had a surprise for me. It was very nice. He’d gone and pulled out the container that had my books in it. He’d also bought the bracelets to make up for packing my stuff away. Unfortunately, the swag stuff was in a different container so he had to go back and search for that last weekend. Thankfully, it’s all here now. *I think*

Here’s a better picture of the bangles. They are very sparkly. I should have the last Master X and Naomi scene done this weekend and then we’ll do the giveaway. How does that sound?

Thanks for stopping by and can’t wait to get this one shipped out!
