AMEX Crate & Barrel giveaway!

Amex_Logo

Well helloooo! First of all, I need to announce the winner of The Pumpkin Patch giveaway! The lucky gal is Kayla from Unpredictable Bliss! (She just had a sweet new baby! So precious!) Kayla, shoot me an email and I’ll get you connected with Sarah!

I am SO excited for you peeps this weekend! I’m excited for me too, but more on that in a minute. :)

You may know that I’ve been working on our kitchen redo by using Membership Reward Points given to me by American Express. It’s been such a fun partnership and the kitchen is coming along so beautifully! My reward points are almost gone, so it’s time to share the goodness with YOU now!

My BFFs over at Amex are giving a $100 Crate and Barrel gift card to one of my readers – that’s YOU! :)

 cb

Crate and Barrel is just one of the fab stores you can buy gift cards for using your Amex reward points – I got a few goodies that I’ll show you next week. It’s one of those places that has such fun stuff (especially for the kitchen) that when you see it all you totally didn’t know you needed it but you SO DO.

You know those kinds of places. Fun and dangerous.

So anyhoo, all you have to do to enter is leave a comment here! I’ll run this one through next Friday, so you have plenty of time to enter.

I’ve got a fun weekend planned myself -- a couple of my girlfriends and I are heading out to fabulous NYC to see NKOTB at Radio City Music Hall! A girl’s weekend in New York – can you get any better than that?!

I cannot WAIT!

YES, we will be 30-somethings acting like teeny boppers. Yes, yes we will. :)

I’ll be back early next week to give you an update! I know you are waiting with baited breath. Cause you all love the New Kids, I know you do.

SO I need to go finish scrambling around and then I’m hoping to get about three hours of sleep tonight. Even three hours may be pushing it. :)

Comment it up, good luck and have a GREAT weekend!!
