Candy wrappers

Do you ever buy a candy bar that has a contest code inside? Then you open the candy and it always, always says,
"Sorry not a winner, try again" or some such thing.

Sometimes they have a code that you can enter at the candy website. Of course when you go to the website and enter the code it alway says,
"Sorry not a winner, try again" or some such thing.

Did you know that when you go to the website and enter the code that all sorry not a winner codes are entered into a second chance drawing (if you enter your name and address along with the code).

I didn't know this. But I found this out the cool way. I came home from work today and a package was waiting for me. I hadn't ordered anything. But I had been entered in a second chance drawing. And this is what was in the package.

An 80 GB iPod along with a car dock thingie and $100 gift card!

I've been wanting one, but you know there was always that bill thing getting in the way.

Now I just have to decide what to put on it. It will hold 20,000 songs!!! 20,000!

And movies. Oh, tell me what movies should I get. I do not have to share it with my kids, so I can get whatever I want. If you could only have 1 movie, what would you choose? Tell me your all time favorite, must have, must see before you die movie.

And the winner is....

The winner of the Urban Botanic Home collection is Kris of Gardens by the Lake

So Kris, if you will e-mail me with your snail mail address and which three oils you would like in your collection, I will get it sent to you. You can see the different oils at my website. (e-mail, sandra@urbanbotanic.com)
