A Winner of the 'Be a Better Bunny' Pinterest Board Contest

A short time ago, I entered a contest that Cost Plus World Market was having on Pinterest. I had to come up with a board that featured an Easter theme, I chose "Easter Entertaining" and had to display Easter items from Cost Plus as well as general items from their store I liked too. This was an easy task since they have such a fun selection of items and also because I was able to throw in Easter outlfit looks, I love fashion so that part was not much of a chore and I also was able to select Easter dishes, accessories and really got into the whole "Easter Entertaining" concept.

I spent a lot of time making sure my board was just right :) Ohh, you know the perfectionist in me, ha. Well I really had quite a lot of fun with my board, a little too much fun I might add. I was hesitant to submit my entry because again, I questioned myself and wondered if it was "good enough." I figured what the heck, why not so I submitted my board and wanted to see if maybe just maybe I might have a chance at winning. The next morning I received a glorious email that I was a winner of the contest and that soon to be in my lucky hands would be a $50 gift certificate.

The funnier thing about this story is that I actually had my eye on a few items that I wanted to purchase, especially a beverage dispenser for an upcoming baby shower in June that I am throwing for a girlfriend in town. But I figured before I click 'add to cart' why not first see if I had a chance to win this contest and that way I could apply my gift card instead of my credit card to those purchases. I guess my guardian fairies put in a good word for me because I did win and I was a giddy little girl, jumping up and down and calling my hubby on the phone to speak of the good news that day. Oh happy day! So the next time the lottery hits the big 500 million again or you see a contest, why not submit your entry, just because...you never know what is in store for you :)

Check out my board here.

Here are a few items that I have been considering purchasing. There is so much to chose from that I need to make my decisions wisely :)

What do you think I should splurge on? You can definitely see my obsession with grey this spring, I can't get enough.

A very happy and blessed Monday, everyone xo
