New Career Possibility?

Shortly before I left for vacation I was laid off from my job.  Now that I am back home I have been contemplating what my next step should be.  Do I find another engineering job?  Are there even any structural engineering jobs in my area?  Do I find a job in another field and change careers?  What on earth would I choose?!  Or do I embrace the job of housewife and volunteer somewhere?

One option might be to become a professional contest entrant.  You see, lately I have been pretty lucky in the giveaway department and have won again.  Maybe I could also win us a new car, ice cream for a year, and some cash.   That doesn't sound too bad to me.

This is the loot from the giveaway from Crafty Vagas Mom for the Friday Night Sew In.  It seems a little appropriate to have won Christmas fabric given the challenges I had with my own Christmas quilt on Friday.  This line of Christmas fabric is beautiful but I never would have purchased it for myself since I have plenty already.  I look forward to making something fun with this! 

Please don't hate me.

But look what I won from Oh Fransson!:

Winner winner chicken dinner

Over at the Twiddletails blog, Anina was celebrating her three year blog birthday and was giving away a fat quarter to ten winners.I was lucky enough to be one of them!  Exciting!  

I picked the Wild Thyme Pods in orange.  A very cute addition indeed.  Thank you, Anina! :)

Lucky.

I received some exciting mail the other day- my winnings from Handmade by Alissa's 1 year anniversary giveaway!  :)  I am sure I be able to put this beautiful fabric to good use!

I'm a winner!

Back at the end of May, Kathy at Pink Chalk Studio hosted an awsome giveaway.  There were over 30 items to win.  I actually won something too!  Yay!  I was so surprised!  My prize was a $10 gift certificate to Kathy's shop, Pink Chalk Fabrics. Yay again! :)


This week I finally cashed in my gift certificate (and a bit extra) to get some goodies.  A couple half yards of Alexander Henry's Granville and a charm pack of Arcadia by Moda.  Now I'm kind of wishing I bought two charm packs though.  Doh!
