Let's Celebrate with a Giveaway!

Well, last week was a BIG one for me. I was named Moxie Fabber of the Week, found out I will be published in Paper Crafts magazine for the first time, & learned another bit of crafty news that I'll share with you Feb. 1.

SO, all that excitement deserves a celebration...and what better way to do that than a giveaway? That's why I'm offering YOU the chance to win a twine sampler pack from The Twinery!

Leave a comment on this post with your answer to the following question: When you hear good news, what's your favorite way to celebrate?

You can earn a second entry by blogging about this giveaway OR posting it on Facebook OR tweeting about it. Leave a separate comment telling me you did so.

This giveaway will remain open until midnight CST on Sun., Jan. 23. I'll announce the winner on Mon., Jan. 24. Good luck!

    Congrats on all of your good news! My favorite way to celebrate when I receive good news is to reward myself with a dinner out with the hubby! Most likely PF Changs or Hibachi! YUM!

    First, I email, text, or call my husband, then we would go out to dinner- any excuse to eat AND eat something that I didn't have to prepare myself, right?
    Congrats on being published!!!

    I NEED THIS! (And yes, I'm yelling!). Just close down the contest now and while we will pretend its still going on, you can tell me I won (sound like a plan?)...ha ha!

    My fav way to celebrate...getting my eat on! I will FB it even though my chances will go down (sniff!).

  22. NancyJanuary 18, 2011 at 3:01 PM

    Congratulations!! So very exciting for you!

    For me, when I have something exciting happen, I want to share it with my husband first... and then I hope we can carve out some time to do a nice dinner!

  23. ElaineJanuary 18, 2011 at 3:09 PM

    congrats to YOU!!! :) I guess it would depend on what sort of good news for me. If it's something crafty, it goes on my blog and then I spend TIME playing with something that I haven't had the time to use yet. If it's other good news, sapphire and tonic is my pick for toasting! lol

  26. JackieJanuary 18, 2011 at 3:52 PM

    Going out for dessert and coffee sounds good to me. It would depend on the good news, of course. Coming into money would cause me to go shopping - for crafty stuff!

    Awesome news, Ann! Can't wait to see what you're having published.

    Congrats on all your good news! I usually can't hold good news in long, so I'll go and see my friends to tell them with a big grin on my face!

  31. Ren-YiJanuary 18, 2011 at 4:56 PM

    Congrats Ann! you are fab fab fab!

    best way to celebrate is to first jump up and down like a lil elementary kid and scream. or do a happy dance. then call up your best crafty friend who will do the same for you. then make plans to go out together and indulge - best at a fun restaurant where you can get your favorite eats :)

  32. Michele GrossJanuary 18, 2011 at 5:10 PM

    Such a fabulous week you had! So happy for you, its well deserved :) How do I celebrate? I think you know that I am all about the happy dance!! A good bottle of wine isn't bad either...but I don't recommend both at the same time! Much better to drink it rather than wear it! :D

  33. Karen B.January 18, 2011 at 5:52 PM

    As I was the lucky recipient of your last giveaway, please don't count me in, I couldn't resist another time to congratulate you on your success! I don't have that much success all at once but when I have a little victory I secretly scream out loud inside my head. Does that make sense?

  43. LynnetteJanuary 18, 2011 at 8:45 PM

    Congrats to you Ann!! I'm so excited for you:) I have to say that the way I celebrate is inconsistent and depends on the good news. I would say that the most common thing I do is call or email a dear friend (or my hubby) to share the news with. Someone who I know will genuinely be as excited as I am. Congrats again to you and thanks for the chance to win.

    How I celebrate good news... it really depends on what the news is, and if it is mine or someone else's. If it is someone else's I like to do something with them to celebrate. If it's mine, the most important thing is sharing the news with loved ones.
