it's early morning here in arizona (like 5am to be exact) and it's still dark. i tried to take a photo from the front door looking out into the early darkness and clearly that's all you can see. i'm not a morning person at all. we're heading back out on the road this time to new jersey for a week at ranger getting ready for ranger u next weekend. it's always a busy week getting everything ready for this 3-day educational event, but still fun. as i am packing everything up this morning mario asked if i was blogging before we were leaving for the airport? to which my response was "are you serious?…." (well that was the edited blog-friendly version) have i mentioned how i don't like mornings? he said he has been holding on to a bunch of new cha sample products he collected at the show for a random blog giveaway…well today is the day i guess. how cool is that?
so congrats to the following 7 winners for simply posting a comment on friday's blog post. please email mario ([email protected]) your contact info and when he gets back from new jersey he will send you out a surprise box with some cool new release stuff – i see dies, stamps, inks, etc. man he really scored at cha for all of you! you just never know when a giveaway will happen around here, but when it does, you can bet it's something good. enjoy your day as i'm sure many of you are waking up to a morning sunrise and a nice breakfast (as are the guests that are staying here while we're gone – mario's been cooking for them all morning). me…not so much, but i think this surprise giveaway is definitely a great way to start the day…t!m
