well, i don't want to brag...

so it's no secret to anyone who knows me that one of my favorite places in the world is paper source. really, what could be better? all the paper you'd ever need/want, quirky gifts, beautiful ribbon, customized invitations, and the list goes on... i've always wanted to work there, i think almost everyone who works there knows me by name, and i probably make it in there at least once a week. well, every year, they have a holiday card contest and if you use their products, you're eligible. i entered last year, but didn't win. this year, i was hesitant to enter, just because even though i used their paper, it wasn't very crafty. it was, however, inspired by one of their cards i'd seen in their holiday catalog. i loved how it turned out this year, so i didn't really mind that i hadn't gotten an e-mail saying i'd won a $50 gift card... but yesterday, as i was scrolling through their blog's latest post, which was the winners of the contest, there was my card!!! it's the very last picture and it's not even the whole card, but it's there!! i still don't mind that i haven't gotten an e-mail, but i am going to venture down to the store today... we'll see if i come home with an extra $50. :)

update: i didn't win, however, the girls at my local store sent it to their headquarters because they liked it so much... no $50, but who cares?!
