May I Say Congratulations To Me? A Celebratory Giveaway!
Yes my friends, this is officially my 100th post!
While I could be celebrating alone with reality t.v. and a slice of vegan pizza, I have decided against it. In fact I feel like a giveaway is in order.
Why?
Well, without you guys there to read about my wacky projects, my paranoid rantings about government subsidies, and overlooking my bad grammar, I wouldn't have much fun posting.
Here's what I am giving away.
My favorite accessory. The re-useable shopping tote. I can't stop making these!
Made out of a sturdy home decor fabric, it is big, roomy, and strong. It is red and white gingham, with a denim panel behind the pocket. I added a wonky "hello" applique to the pocket. This bag screams "KRISTA MADE ME!"
Many of you may not know that I had an Etsy shop once upon a time, where I sold pinback buttons. So I made a few just for this giveaway.
You also get your choice of one of the following.
A morbidly honest quote from Oscar Wilde.
"A true friend stabs you in the front."
Or, if a bit of gore isn't your thing, you may choose this next one inspired by one of the best commercials ever.
For the sake of this project, those are not pom poms, they are cooties.
**Here are the rules.**
You get one entry for leaving me a comment on this post, and telling me your favorite non-cussing phrase that you use in place of cussing. You know, like when you slam your fingers in the cupboard, and your kid is around, and you so badly want to swear, but you can't.
You also get an entry for writing a post on your blog and linking back to this post. Be sure to leave me a comment with the link if you do post.
You can do one, or the other, or both.
That's it...easy enough right?
The giveaway ends on Tuesday Feb. 16th 10 a.m. est. The winner will be announced Wednesday Feb. 17th.
I do have to apologize to my international readers. Funds are tight around the household, and shipping to certain countries can be expensive. :( At this time, I can only keep my giveaway open to U.S. readers.
But don't fret. This won't be my last giveaway.

"lollipop" is the key substitute word, especially @ Disneyland...just try it, it's fun in all sorts of situations - in fact, I may have to kick you in the lollipop if you don't ;)
I'm Polish, so it'll be a bit more complicated... I'd say something that roughly translates as 'chicken' due to its similarity to the most popular Polish swear word :) As in 'Oh chickens, I forgot my wallet' or something ;) xxx
this is so stupid I got it from my husband oh mother huncher :D
cute giveaway you lint licker jk lol

Found your wonderful blog via Kristen Powers' blog. LOVE IT!
I have to admit that I recently failed the clearance of my own driver's side car door, even though I have been driving the car for at least 5 years. I think my exact words were "aaaahhhhhh" and then I passed out!
Congrats on your 100th post milestone and thanks for the opportunity to win!
congrats on your 100th post!
around here, we say "FAR OUT!" got it from our australian friends who say it in place of the naughty "f" word.
:)
I had to wait until I actually hurt myself in front of the kids, because I'm not sure what I say. Luckily, I'm super clumsy and hurt myself all the time! Mine are super duper dorky, though. It's either "F-f-f-f-UDGE!" Or, "HOLY... MOLEY!" I have a whole colorful array of expressions when the kids aren't around, though. :-)
My favorite: Crapity! If I'm really ticked off I start hollering in Turkish. My hubby & I lived there for several years and I learned some of the language. A Turk would laugh at my grammar, but it is very refreshing to attempt to translate "Get up out of my Kool-Aid!" into Turkish.
("Meyve suyumden cikmalisin!" is the very rough translation, in case you're wondering.)
Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway!
"OH FUDGE IN A BUCKET" I don't know why the fudge is in a bucket, but that's what I say. Congrats on 100 posts, and I love not using patterns!

"Sweet Swedish Fish!" Is quite satisfying when screamed aloud!
Your bag is stinking cute!
I love what you are doing - sewing pattern-free - and think you are quite amazing!
Thanks for sharing your journey ;-)
Aw, how sweet. I've found your blog around xmas, and I come back and poke around time to time but never post. Congratulations on your 100th post!
I have a few.."bloody hell" "balls" "mother plucker" or "mother fluffer" or "shee-yut" (that's not really a bad word, right? :)
Don't enter me because I'm in Canada, but I wanted to say
1) your writing style puts a smile on my pretty face, and
2) when I'm not smiling and I need to curse, I call someone a "pheasant plucker". The kids thinks he grooms chickens for a living.

i say "MOTHER" really loud at work. usually when i do something stupid thats causes me pain, like running my knee into a drawer. when i'm around my nieces and nephews i resort to "sinkerpots!"
by the way, your post on budgeting & consumption could have been written about me...i read it and was absolutely tickled that i'm not the only one like that out there. i just found your blog today, and have gotten as far as this post. i need to go refill my coffee cup & am excited to read some more!
