my life in numbers (giveaway)

The past 3 months I've scrapbooked 78 pages (for future schtuff)
I ate 97% of those sugar cookies myself
I watched Stranger Than Fiction 3 times the past 2 weeks (actually more like I listened to it while the kids napped & I scrapped)
Quincey has one bottom tooth :)
Avery can count to 20 (but she skips 14, 16 & 18)
I watched Chris Miles #54 & the rest of BYU's team win the MWC title
Last week I added 1 coat of Primer to 1/2 of our kitchen cabinets (yeah, it's a beautiful sight right now :)
I have 9 singing voicemails on my phone from C-Bass (his version of ABBA's Take a Chance on Me is my fave)
I drank one A&W Cream Soda on Saturday (pretty sure I was 12 the that last time I enjoyed one of those-it was yum!)
Two weeks ago at 10 am on a Saturday morning I fell in love with my new fave Etsy shop
♥♥ Miss Ruby Sue ♥♥ (That's where I got the necklace above!)
I spotted her eyecandy headbands that I had-to-have! Lori (aka miss ruby sue) thought I was crazy after 2 spazzy convos drooling over her handmade beauties & romantic vintage curiosities~ Check out this headband it has me written all over it! :)


Since it's not fun to enjoy something by yourself--leave a comment with a random number fact about you-to win your item of choice from Miss Ruby Sue's CoLorFul shop!!

The past 11 years and 3 days I have enjoyed wedded bliss.

Anonymous said...

I have been married 14 years!
I have had 3 dogs in those 14 years.
I have 2 beautiful daughters whose ages added together make 15.
I have only fallen in TRUE romantic love once, but I re-fall almost everyday with my family.
You don't have to call me back, even once, except if I'm crying, and you better call 50 times until you get me!

We have twin (2) boys that are two (2). That makes us a family of four (4) which I think is perfect!

Thanks for the giveaway!

On the 22 of April we celebrate our 26 years of marriage. While on the 26th day of June (6th month) We celebrate my 2nd childs 22 birthday. And thinking back to when I was pregant with her. On the 22 day of June I received a call to be in a birthing movie, and to be at the hospital at 6:00am. So yes we are apart of a movie that alot of you may have experienced while learning about having babies. But for the record we are the 2nd birth and it is a C-section. And it was back in 1986.

Haley said...

6 - the # of days I've been in the hospital on bed rest

2 - the number of babies I'm currently carrying

1 - the number of babies I ha at home

1 million - the amount I miss my precious little Lydia's face!

I could use a little something fun and fresh right now! These hospitals walls are looking a little dull...plus I love Etsy and miss that I can't be home running my shop! sweetsugarbeet.etsy.com

My favorite number song is "3 is the Magic Number". I love the line that goes like this: "Man and a woman had a little baby (yes they did). They had three in the family. And that's a magic number."
I especially love it now because that will be my little family by the end of May!

Roxanne said...

beautiful necklace!
her store is full of fun goodies.

Let's see. This is a strange one with the days of our birthday. Or maybe we aren't that odd?!

9 - the day my husband was born
20 - the day I was born
If you add our birthdays together you get 29.

14 - the day our first child was born.
15 - the day our second child was born
And if you add their birthdays together, you also get 29.

I guess 29 should be our lucky number?!!
