parcel

As I work through my MS again (yes again) I’m wondering if I should post ‘snippets’ from it. Would you be interested? I know I enjoy reading some but often get put off by the length of them. What’s an appropriate length do you think? Hmmmm. Well maybe I’ll post one later this week and we’ll just see what your response is and go from there *grin*.

I received a parcel today! Who doesn’t love random parcels, really? It was from the lovely Sharon at Random Thoughts blog. I responded to a post and won! Look at these cute little things : ) Makes me soooo envious that NZ’s postage isn’t cheaper, it would probably cost me around $10 to send that, which is why I’m excited and terrified bout someone winning the 500 followers prize. Still it’ll be worth it – then I can tell you my secret! *grin* I hate keeping secrets (at least good ones that is) so looking forward to spilling.

Anyway back to the pressie from Sharon. It includes gum (real gum from USA!!), lip gloss (always in need of – yummy orange flavour), two highlighters – perfect timing or what! A selection of adorable plasters, two with cool looking girls and four of puppies and kittens, so very cute. The last item is what I’m guessing is a fortune stick? Correct me if I’m wrong. This made me gasp. Why? Because literally two days ago my horoscope said the same thing. Weird huh! Here’s what it said.

‘Accept an opportunity that is offered to you’

Hellllloooo!?! Mr/Mrs opportunity where are you?? I’m waiting *grin* Well I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

This parcel has given me an idea of another thing to add to the 500 followers prize. So it now consists of.

1. Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors & Literary Agents 2010

2. A t-shirt of my own design following the theme of my blog (three designs to choose from and several colours)

3. A piece of jewelry designed by moi for the winner with their input. I can make a variety of styles not just what you saw in the picture the other week.

4. My absolute favourite lip balm/salve from Kereru. Kereru is a New Zealand brand which makes everything from natural materials they grow and source. They don’t send over seas so this is pretty special. It’s made with calendula and tea tree and lemon essential oils and you can use it for so many things! Like scratches or cuts, eczema even the dreaded zit. I have three or four of these floating around the house in constant use – but don’t worry the winner gets a brand new one *grin* Here’s their website if you want a nosy, I think a testimonial I sent through is still on there ;p

5. A note pad for scribbling thoughts, ideas, perhaps future plots?? And of course a nice pen.

So it’s looking like a pretty awesome parcel all in all! Anyone who is one of my first 500 followers is in the draw and if you add my blog button (and link it to my blog! Most important) to your blog you get an extra chance. I will also add your button to mine – make sure you let me know *grin*
