Just about a month ago, on November 29, 2010 to be exact, I found out that I had won the Silhouette machine giveaway over at Grosgrain fabulous. I was ecstatic. Originally, I found out by someone commenting on my blog congratulating me. Although I didn’t not believe the comment I still quickly jumped over to the Grosgrain blog to see for myself. And there it was… congratulations to me.
I have wanted a machine and debating over a Cricut and a Silhouette for quite some time but never got around to purchasing one or the other because I always choose to spend my money on other things. Sometimes decisions like these are nicer when then are settled for you especially when they don’t cost me any extra money.
I know that good things come to those who wait but it was difficult waiting for this to arrive. I shot an email to Kathleen (Grosgrain) letting her know my info and anxiously waited to hear back about when I would receive it. After a couple of weeks I emailed Kathleen again letting her know that I hadn’t heard anything and I hadn’t received anything either. She let me know that she had contacted the person running the promotion and forwarded me the email letting her know that I hadn’t heard anything yet.
Waiting when you know something is coming is one thing; waiting without knowing if it would really be coming at all is another thing. Luckily and happily on Christmas Eve a package arrived and it was my silhouette machine. I am very thankful to have won such a great prize and have many uses already planned for it. Now I just need to put it to good use.
Thank you Kathleen and thank you Silhouette!
