i was honored to be able to work with my sweet friend marie and the other mojo girls over a scrap mojo this week. the prompt is to ask someone what they would do with a million dollars and then scrap it. this is my sweet bean. all big smiles. she LOVES ponies. real ponies. dream ponies. plush ponies & my little ponies. reminds me so much of myself when i was little. apparently in maddie-ville it's a one dollar for one pony ratio. oh to be that innocent again. :)
and in other news ..... i have this to give away :

a huge press pack filled with lots of the new october afternoon lines that were just released at cha. kim & jon were very gracious to let me take a press pack for one of you lucky oa lovers. there is paper from four different lines, including the new "weather vane" {my fav!} and "good cheer" xmas lines. plus two sheets of the new stickers.

and i'm also throwing in that adorable little monster charm pin you see above that they gave away to everyone who came by the booth. isn't he cute!
leave a comment in this post by 8pm friday pst and i'll announce a winner saturday.
happy wednesday!

I remember when ponies cost a dollar each :D . From the time I was 4 until the age of 17 I wanted my own horse sooo bad, I think I had every single My Little Pony ever made!
How generous of the OA people to give you such a great press pack to give away! Thank you for sharing it! Hope you had a great time at CHA. Take care,
Erin
