giveaway monday: custom doily blanket from goodknits

You guys, I have a very, very rad giveaway to present to you all today. You're going to freak out so just try and be cool, okay?



Lisa, my talented friend and very generous sponsor has offered to host a giveaway for one of her doily blankets!!



I have one of these sweet things on  the way and I can't pretend like I don't check my mailbox everyday with great anticipation. I'm hoping that this is my lucky week! (mail moves very slowly over the Canada-US border) I'll definitely be blogging about it when it comes and I may even take that opportunity to introduce you to my couch of complete perfection. But this is a whole other blog post and I know all you're thinking is "I wanna win this freaking blanket! Would you just shut up?!" Okay, okay....



Here's how you can win a blanket in your choice of colour:

(mandatory entry)
1. Visit goodknits on Etsy and browse about. Come back here and tell me what item (besides the blanket) that you love the most. Make sure you include your email so I can get in touch if you win! (note: I would seriously recommend adding this shop to your favourites. Lisa is forever adding new products to her shop and they are always exciting.)

(additional entries - leave an additional comment for each entry)
2. Follow Lisa on Twitter and tweet the following message:
It's giveaway Monday on @MyGirlThursday and I want to win a custom doily blanket from @goodknits. http://goo.gl/XQCvZ

3. Like goodknits on Facebook and please do say hello.

Giveaway is open to all and will run until Thursday, February 2nd.

Good luck!

Care to sponsor My Girl Thursday in the month of February and maybe even host a giveaway like this one? Click here for more information or email me directly at thursday@mygirlthursday.com. I'd love to chat!

Happy weekend friends!

merely a pawn in this social media game


Elycia and I waiting to buy a tiny SIM card for my new phone.

It happened. I have apple shaped hearts in my eyes and a shiny black phone. I'm officially one of the masses. Judge me if you will but I really wanted to take part in the fun that the Instagram people have so cruelly only made available to those Apple people. So I did it. I bought a used iPhone. I'll consider it eBay thrifting.

I'm still in the process of Instagramizing my brain but if you'd like to follow along in my photographic follies you can find me here.

I think I just blue myself...

In my world there are a few things that will create an instant and everlasting bond between you and I. If you say you like pizza with just green olives? We're friends. If you can thrift for 6 hours straight? We should totally hang. You've watched Arrested Development in it's entirety three times in a row? Get on the couch and get our Bluth on baby.

This one is for all the lovers of dysfunction.













And if that's not enough then I would highly recommend following Bluth Quotes on Twitter. Happy Friday y'all! I have to get to the couch now and spend some time with my favourite family.
