The post lady delivered me a wonderful surprise this week! I had forgotten that Random.org had chosen me as one of the winners of
Bethany's contest...Bethany has just landed her
dream job! You'll have to check out her blog to read about it...
Bethany shared her recipe for Pixie Popcorn in my prize package:
1 bag of popped popcorn
5-6 pixie stixs
Mix together and enjoy while writing
...(I hope that you'll hop over and meet Bethany!) Thank you Bethany!!!

Seven things about myself:
