~~MOOD SWING ~~

I was having one of those days....you know the kind...when you wonder why you even got out of bed at all..

And then the postman showed up....I REALLY REALLY the postman.


Check out what he brought me.....


Jamie from over at Stampin Mom
had a giveaway the other day....she has this AMAZING etsy shop
where she sales the cutest stuff! And of course the prize was some of her handmade cards and tags...well just LOOK!






SUPER COOL HUH? I know I was tickled PINK!!! Thanks so much Jamie for having such a wonderful prize!!! Everything is totally adorable. You guys should go check out her stuff!



And then....the UPS guy comes. That brown truck just gives me the shivers!!! And WOO HOO a box for me! This day is definitely looking up!


A while ago Carolyn who is THE Purple diva also had a giveaway. I was on a roll that week and I got one of the prizes. CHECK IT OUT....


the CUTEST girlie Christmas bucket you ever saw.....IT HAS FUR!!!


And inside it was LOADED with the best stuff....a Christmas CD, an incense burner, Candy, hot cocoa mix...and....

THIS...isn't that the most wonderful ornament ever. I love the whimsical look...and the colors are so bright and fun! IT ROCKS AND SO DO YOU CAROLYN!!



And if that wasn't enough....I know I'm a package piggy aren't I.....I got this sweet gift from the nicest lady. Her name is Shauna and you can find her over at the colorful and wonderful Trying to stay calm blog.... but I know a lot of you visit her already. She sent me this gift just because.


There was this really nice card that got me all teary eyed ...
And inside are some gifts to pamper myself...some beautiful bath tub fizzies! I love those things because I take really long baths....and some hot cocoa...and my favorite chocolate orange sticks!!! Shauna I am so touched that you would send this kind gift , it is amazing how many generous and lovely people there are in blogland. This means the world to me. Thank you.

And then there are all you wonderful bloggy friends that pass on awards...

This one is from The FABULOUS Donna from Donna's Den
If anyone knows fabulous it's HER! So I am really flattered that she would bestow this one on me! Go say "hi" to her..you'll love her blog!



This beautiful thing came from two people....first from Tootsie over at Tootsie Time
And it's so fitting that it has a butterfly on it...because butterflies WORSHIP Tootsie. If you haven't seen her gardens you have to go to her blog! And this was also given to me by Carolyn The Purple Diva She is the coolest Diva I know...and she always has fun stuff on her blog. Thanks Woman!


This beauty came from Michaela from The Krause Family She just had the cutest little baby you have ever seen! And on her blog there is a video of the munchkin trying to roll over...it cracks me up every time I watch it...go check out her adorable blog!


And this wonderful award came from Brandy at Stichblade . She has 3 beautiful little girls...and if you have little girls you have to check out her Etsy shop...she makes custom Tutu's that are so fabulous it makes me want a grand baby girl NOW just so I can dress her in one! Thanks Brandy for sending this my way!
Thanks so much ladies for taking a.. MySpace
And turning it into a......MySpace

Ginger said...

Hi Nikki:
Christmas came early at your house!!! That's really special that all your blogging friends sent you such neat stuff. Love the ornament!! You deserve everything especially after that gut spliting story you told on Crumpets little accident. I still laugh when I think of how you told the story.
I was thinking about you earlier when the news was talking about the storm in Mass. and New Jersey. 2 million people without power. Glad to see you are still with power. Take care
Ginger

Laura said...

Sue said...

Everyday our wonderful mailman delivers packages and they are ALWAYS for the "Boss"...Always...he got so excited the other day when he brought 2 boxes with my name and he says.."Oh, Sue these are finally for you"...he's an adorable Asian man so picture that with an Asian accent...He looked so disapointed when I informed him that the boxes were only Christmas gifts for daughter.....Maybe one of these days it will be for me!!

Bargain Decorating with Laurie said...

Nikki, I noticed you had commented on Kady's post (Life on Bonnie Lane). Her son has posted an update asking for b'day wishes for his mother, and since nobody had left a message yet, I was just trying to contact some of her readers. laurie

Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...

hugs ~lynne~

Heather said...

WOW!! Christmas came early for you!!

Tardevil said...

Dang, Nikki! Let's go to Vegas! You've hit the giveaway lottery this week! Congrats on all the loot & the awards!

Cynthia said...

That's an awesome Christmas haul. Woo Hoo!

Anonymous said...

Well, i guess we all love you and Santa loves you best that is why you have those adorable gifts...waaaa...Santa has favoritism! LOL! You deserve it Nikki. We adore you and we really love your blog. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

D C said...

Hey, I forgot what the UPS truck even looks like it's been so long! LOL! WAY WAY AWESOME gifts.One of my absolute favorite things is to get homemade gifts from others. You ROCK!

Renna said...

WooWee, Santa came early to your house in the form of friendly bloggers!

The UPS man makes me shiver, too, but for an altogether different reason. My Min-Pin, not much bigger than a popcorn toot, considers the big brown truck to be mortal enemy number 1. She practically eats throught the glass in the living room window everytime she sees his truck go by our house, and if he stops, well, then, it's Katy bar the door!

Shannon said...

Wow! Great gifts!

I sure hope you've bought a lottery ticket, with all the good luck you've been having...

Anonymous said...

Wow... That's a lot of wonderful stuff. And a furry bucket - priceless!

LCO's said...

I am just a lovin your blog your a cutie!

Cheryl said...

Hey Girl, Congrats on your winnings and your awards. You deserve them! Love your recipe, I am going to add that to our menu for next week, Yum!!!
Wish you could get the smell out of your car - that really sucks but I do like your choice in vehicles:)

Jenners said...

Wow! You need to play the lottery I think! You're having a great week! Congrats on all the cool prizes!!

Anonymous said...

That is like the best day ever!!!!!!!! Lucky!!!

French Fancy... said...

Never mind Rock the Casbah, it's more like Rock the Nikki Crumpet. You thoroughly deserve all the lovely things that people send you and say about you because you give out such an abundance of love and grace with every word that comes out of your blog.

You can tell a lot about someone from their blog and your blog is beautiful.

Free Art Printables said...

Bo said...

Awww, Nikki...Here I was worrying you might not get anything for Christmas because I'll bet you've been naughty some of the time this year (I know I have..LOL)...And look at all of your love goodies & awards! You need a seperate blog just to hold all of your awards...

Rattlebridge Farm said...

Nikki, you always make me smile and/or laugh but you made me laugh outloud and spill my coffee with your comment about the dish collecting. LOL LOL

Don't be scared!!! :-) True, Dish Mania is a sickness like no other, and it is highly contagious...but you will have a lot of jovial company in the infirmary--it's positively dishy!

Hugs,
Gollum

Well, here you go again being a postal ho. Now you can't go messin' with the UPS man too unless we're gonna call you a delivery ho. So, what can brown do for YOU?
Kick butt goodies you're sportin' there Miss Nikki (hmmm I seem to recall a Prince song...)
Enjoy, smile, bask in the glow of your award glory and know that you are loved (despite being a ho)
