Confession of a MJC Packer

Making it big time

Okay, so Chris brought this to my attention the other morning and I've been spreading it around like crazy!

I think you know you've officially hit it big time when you've got your dress on a Taco Bell cup, so congratulations Matilda Jane!

Now the question is...Who is the lucky little lady wearing the knot dress? If you know the answer I'll hook you up with some MJC. One guess per person please! And make it count!

Oh, how romantic..

Alright, so hands down you all have the most romantic hubbies around. I swear like 3/4 of the comments were from the luckiest women around, if you ask me. And you should because I am such a romantic. It's ridiculous actually. It's hard for me to describe. When I love something/someone, I LOVE them. I mean, I get the chills..I cry..I laugh.. In all the most inappropriate times. Ask anyone around 435, I'm just the most emotional girl in town. Two things that get me every time? When I put Harry Potter or the OC on (Do you remember The OC!?! Best show ever). Like it's almost instantaneous. I get the chills and the sobbing begins...

LONG STORY SHORTENED...I really enjoyed hearing about the romantic gestures your boyfriends/husbands did to win your heart. I wish I could have chosen all of them to win a little MJC because I was either tearing up while reading them or laughing (literally out loud). So since I couldn't choose, I just let my mouse do the decidin'! Jamie Hicks, Mary, Should I take it personally?, and ZEB's Mom should all email me at samm@matildajaneclothing.com for a little MJC surprise.

As you may know..

Denise and Lynette are off on big business right now. I mean BIG business. This is the Spring '10 and Fall '10 line we're talking about here. You guys should be so excited. Seriously. If you thought you liked Hotline or Gypsy Blue 1&2, you are going to be doing flips for this Spring!! And I haven't seen the designs for the Fall yet, but the fabrics are seriously amazing. My favorite I've seen yet.

So it's Christmas time... And I have gotten basically zero of my shopping done. Well, I've got Mark's present. So that's not zero, but it feels like it is! Because I knew straight off what I was getting him and I have my ladies to buy for still! And that requires actual work. I think I'll be hitting up some thrift stores and Joann's Fabric after work today. Yep, it's settled. I'm gonna have to. I seriously love shopping for people though. I'm better at buying gifts for other people than I am for myself. No joke. But just as I am great at shopping for friends, I am the worst person for my friends to shop for. That's just how it goes I guess? Speaking of giving and receiving presents... Why don't ya'll tell me the best, most sincere, most interesting, or just plain funniest gift you've ever given or received? And I'll hook up the winners with a little Christmas Joy in the form of some MJC! And as usual, lets do one or two guesses per person.. 

Mark (the boyfriend) is incapable of growing facial hair, but you have no idea how badly he wants a mustache, a beard, anything! I think that's how it usually works with most everything though. When you don't want one ya got one and when ya want one ya don't. Well, regardless..I thought it'd be a good idea to see how he'd look with some face hair...

He's such a dork. With or without a mustache.

Oh! And that's my bathroom. Not much of a sneak peek though, is it? So here's my Christmas tree...

(Those curtains look familiar? Well that would be because I might have taken the fabric from 435 and made them myself!) There aren't many presents under there yet as you can see... Hence Sam McDonald needs to do some shopping tonight.

..and it comes right back to you.

I've got a million plans in my head to write an outstanding blog...but I don't think today is the day because I don't even have my camera here (at 435) to upload any photos or nothin'! So as long as you guys can be patient, I will try my best not to disappoint you when the time comes!

Ok, so Denise let me pick and send the Turkey Day prizes. I sent out about 20? Give or take one or two. I was so impressed by how many emails I got and I feel good about the families that were chosen. Keep in mind, the majority WERE random but I mean, I DID read the emails so there were most definitely some exceptions. Denise and I have received the most wonderful "thank you's" from the people that submitted names and also the receivers of the packages! I just wanna tell you how great it felt to be a part of that give away-to be a part of MJC- when I was sending out the gifts. I'm so proud of Matilda Jane. And I'm so thankful that you guys sent me so many emails and helped to give me the opportunity to "spread the love."  That's what the Holidays are all about, right?

Anyway, like I said, I do feel bad for holding out on you guys about my apartment and all the other things going on around here.. I'm gonna make it up to you next time though! Mark my words!
