Lovely Silhouettes from the Silhouette

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!

Congrats to you!!!! I hope you enjoy!!!

You're so lucky to have won that machine! I think it was perfect that it arrived on Christmas Eve, don't you? Maybe the promoter really set the date to the 24th of December so that you'd be surprised and made it a little more special for you. I would apply for a cash advance (Utah area) to buy that lovely silhouette machine. Congratulations!
