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!

That does sound like some awesome news, Ann! Way to go! When I get good news, I like to celebrate by going out to eat. . .that's always a treat :D
When I hear good news, I celebrate in different ways...I leave a comment...congrats, Ann!!...or send an email or phone or send a card...if it's in the family there might be a dinner...it all depends on when or what I hear...in any case, it's always fun to share in good news...can't wait for your new one...the last two have been fabulous!!!
I love to celebrate by going out for ice cream! YUM!!!
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!
Congrats on your magazine appearence & can't wait to see what other news you have to share (2 weeks!).
When I have something to celebrate I shout it from the rooftops.... tell family & friends via phone call, text & blog it Lol

First congratulations! How exciting. The first thing I do when I get good news is share with my hubby then we either go out to dinner or cook a good one here.
Congrats, what great news. For me I like to do something fun with my family to celebrate good news.
wow big congrats to you that's so exciting!!!
When I have something fun to share I like to share it with my blogging friends their the ones that truly understand how exciting it is!!!!
I like to go out to a celebratory dinner. :D
oooh, fun news!
I love to share stampy news on my blog...I always call my mom and then I have a cappuccino!!
Yummy candy offering!!
hi Ann, oooh i love bakers twine, got my first one {aqua} at Christmas :) oh I celebrate with a good old fashioned cup a tea ... LOL hugzz and delighted about your publication!!! xx
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!!!
Ooh! Ann, it was a great wk for ya :) the Twinery - gimmie-gimmie!!! So, when i hear good news I like to celebrate with my hubby by treating ourselves to a nice restaurant dinner, yummy!
Hugs,
C :)
And, i posted it on FB :) hee! Congrats Ann!!!
2011 is certainly proving to be your year, girlie! What fabby news you've had so far (I'm DYING to know what news you have to share Feb 1st too btw!)
My way of celebrating is by sharing the news with my buddies and going out to shout it from the rooftops!
Hugs,
Aimes

congrats!!
i like to call my family and just jump up and down :)
Love the baker's twine and would love to try it on a project. I like to celebrate by calling someone else and telling them. Then we get to be glad together!
I shared on Facebook and tagged you so you know I'm for reals! ;)
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!).
Okay, it's there. I am tearing up (and it wouldn't let me tag you...grr!).
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!
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
When I hear good news my favorite way to celebrate is to share the news with my hubs and best friend! Thanks for the chance to win some twine!
My favorite way to celebrate is to share the good news with someone else. So I call my husband (or text him if he's working) and my mom too!
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.
(And because I already love my Twinery stuff, leave me out of the drawing so someone else can get a chance to try it.)
I usually just walk around with a goofy smile on my face, but going out to eat is always fabulous too!
Thanks for the chance to win the yummy twine!
I like to celebrate with dinner. Somehow food is always involved with the good things in life.
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!
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 :)
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
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?
Congratulations!
Hmmmm, telling all my friends & family than treating myself to a latte!!!
I usually call my sister, so she can celebrate with my long-distance ... she's my best friend. Huge congrats on all of your awesome crafty news.
My fav way to celebrate depends on the news - grabbing a social drink with friends, sharing a nice meal, or spreading the news to friends via the blog'o!!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
OH MY GOODNESS! I totally suck! I forgot to tell you HUGE CONGRATS on all your good news!!! Really... HEARTY CONGRATS!!!!
Congrats on your trio of exciting news this week! Can't wait to hear your announcement on Feb 1st...
My favourite way to celebrate when I hear good news? Tackle hubby with a big ol' bear hug and then bound around the house winding the dogs up into a frenzy! Everyone gets to be in on the excitement that way! :)
Congrats on all your fabbbby news:) I can't wait to see your pubs!! LOVE your style:}
When I get great news--I call my hubs right away or run into his studio. I LOVE his support and congrats kisses (even when he doesn't understand what getting published means! LOL! He is a non-crafter!).
HUGE congrats!!
CONGRATS! CONGRATS! My friend!!!! Now this is some exciting news and way over due. I have exciting news...I have to tell all my family and sometimes call my sister in UT! I will be posting this on my FB! Thanks for a chance at this sweeeeeet celebration candy. You might be shocked, but I don't have any of this yet, but have seen so many beautiful things made with this. Again CONGRATS!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I celebrate by calling my mother and just being HAPPY!
wow, HUGE congrats!!! thanks for celebrating by offering up candy. can't wait to hear the news on feb 1. :)
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.
Congrats! To celebrate, we usually go out to eat, but that isn't the best thing to do! Just what we do! Hope you did some of that too!
just shared the wonderful news on my FB page and newsfeed :)
You are rockin! Way to go Anne, can't wait to see what happens on Feb 1st.
Congratulations! As a caffine addict I would head over to Starbucks and treat myself to a really fancy coffee drink then head home and share with everyone on my Twitter and Blog!
Congrats again Ann! That is so awesome! Oooh I can't wait to find out on 1 Feb! :)
Oh My! That is huge news! CONGRATS! I love to celebrate goodness by telling my family and friends over an yummy dinner.
Congrats on the Great News!!...I like to celebrate with wine, bbq steak, salad, baked potatoe and garlic toast!!..TFS!!
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.

I celebrate good news by telling my husband what it was first and then going out to eat or fixing a nice meal at home. My life seems to revolve around food! LOL! Thanks for a chance to win!

Thanks again!
Congratulations, that's wonderful news!! I hate to repeat cuz I'm sure you're tired of seeing the same response, but I like to go out to eat with my hubby to celebrate good news. I also treat myself to something I've been wanting for a while if I've got the extra cash.
I like to go out for dinner!

When I hear good news I love to call my girlfriends and share my happiness.
Hooray! I was so excited to see you featured! :) Hmmm, I like to celebrate by going out to dinner with my family and friends! If it's something little, a personal happy dance can suffice. :)
Congrats! I tend to share the good news with my friends and thank the God for the blessings.
I like to celebrate by making lots of phone calls to family. If it's really good, I might make a fancy dinner or something.
Congrats on getting published! That's awesome!! When does the issue come out, so I can purchase a copy?
TWINE! I LOVE TWINE!!! :) When I get good news I squeal like a baby! :) LOL!

Great news, I would also love some twine, I haven't seen any for sale here in Australia yet. When I get good news, I usually want to tell someone, so if I am the only one home I ring a friend or family.
Such a fun giveaway! Love this stuff! When I hear good news, I usually get excited and call my friends/family straight away - it's so difficult to wait! If it relates to blogging or crafting I would share it on my blog.

The only way to celebrate good news is to share it with friends and family - oh and a family gathering around a table of yummy food works too of course! Love those yummy colours.
