Monday suck-day, take 12!
Monday, November 3, 2008
Its Monday. Is anyone else letting out a sigh of misery? Halloween is finally over (it was nice while it lasted, but I'm happy to have October behind me), and if you've got kids, you're probably dealing with the sugar highs and lows. Eleanore is still walking around yelling "Happy Halloween!!" when she sees a door decoration that the lazy neighbor failed to take down over the weekend. So then I have to explain to her, again, that Halloween is over, and now we're getting ready for Thanksgiving...
So this being the first suck-day of November, I thought a Thanksgiving-ish giveaway was in order! A double giveaway, no less. Up for grabs this week, is a set of 24 personalized Thanksgiving turkey stickers from SimplyEmbellish, and a set of 4 fall tree note cards from fivedot! Your pen pal will be thrilled to hear that you no longer have an excuse to deny them mail, haha.
The Rules: (They're a little different this time)
-Go to both sponsoring shops, SimplyEmbellish, and fivedot!
-Pick out your favorite item(s) from the above shops, and then come back here to this suck-day entry and leave us a comment telling us what you wish was yours! (that's good for 1 basic entry)
-Tell us in detail why Monday's suck! (that's good for a 2nd entry)
-And for an extra 2 entries, post about this suck-day giveaway, complete with pictures and links, on your own blog! Come back and leave another comment letting us know you've done so, along with your link.
-For you non-blogger users, please make sure and leave your name and email, otherwise we have no way to get a hold of you, and you'll be disqualified, which suuuucks.
-This weeks suck-day giveaway closes on Thursday the 6th, at noon.
-Good luck suck day'ers!!
(If you would like to sponsor an upcoming holiday suck-day, please email me or convo me at my etsy shop! Thanks!)

Hi Christopher and Tia,
I saw your comment on the pumpkin pie. I also have a bad reaction to all the "gums." So baking is always a science fair project at my house. I use a little Knox gelatin in my bread recipe. I'm going to try it in this pumpkin pie.
Carrie at Ginger Lemon Girl uses chia seeds soaked in a little water.
I grew a bunch of okra in my garden this year. Okra is very gummy. I plan to experiment with ground dried okra to see if it is a good gum replacement. I had GOBS of other produce to put by, so I haven't gotten around to that project yet. I'm hopeful!
swirlz in the notecards at simply embelish and buzz for the teachers- those teacher cards from fivedot were pretty and very unique. mrs.mommyyatgmaildotcom
M onday is suck day because this afternoon I have to go take my dl test again, got called to jury duty and have to listen to voting bs phone calls and commercials- wilol wens not come fast enough!

I'm a Monday suck-day Virgin! This is Betheny Yoder (Greenlee) and I was told to come check this cool stuff out by Shannon. My Monday sucks because I have had the 24 hour flu going on 28 hours now! Both ends, no fun, lots of pain! Yikes. My favorite thing on the sponsors sites are the monogram stickers and the cute dot cards. I really like the bumble bee cards. Thanks for doing this. It's really fun!
Hey Girlie- Eleanore looked sooo adorable in her little bee costume! OMG! I didn't feel up to going out- she was enough cute for the both of us!
You are after my heart, once again. I love stationary and stickers!!
I like the Personlized Decorative Etsy Thank You Sticker Tags in blue and white from Simply Embellish -kind of matches my business cards.
And the Whirly Swirl card set from Five Dot (reminds me of one of my favorite toys growing up).
Hey Lady!! haha...
Gotta say that I love the bugs & kisses sitckers from simply embellish and the We've moved cards with fishies from Fivedot. When Zach and I move into our dream home that we'll design, I'm hoping those will still be available!! or maybe I should just order them now..haha...
Anyway, my Mondays usually suck for the same reasons. My weekends fly by with nothing really accomplished because Zach is doing his Master's on top of working full time and our business, so I'm way behind on everything I want to get done. The biggest thing that pisses me off about this Monday is that I have to move my office stuff back into it's proper place for the third time cause the builder had to keep coming back into our house to repair things that were wrong. Which means, I keep needing to move our office stuff into our garage and then move it back, to include laying the phone cord along the wall and behind the shelves!! argh!! I hated doing it the first time!!
So - that's my sucky Monday story.
My Monday's suck because its always a full day of cleaning, laundry and looking forward through the long week for the weekend.
My favorite item from Simply Embellish is the Christmas Santa Label Tag Sticker Set
My favorite item from Fiveday is the Mix of Six Cards.
I like the fall leaves note cards and whirly swirl.

Mondays are the worst because I never want to wake up to start the beginning of the work week, especially in the cold weather!
My wife would love the Christmas Santa Label Tag Sticker Set.
Monday's suck because I haven't recovered from my hangover from my lost weekend.
Flourish name -- personalized stationery -- set of 20 flat notes with envelope from Simply Embellish were adorable and had me written all over them, hehe. As well, i would like to be a teacher so the "An Apple for the Teacher" Notes were very cute and would work well in my future classroom!
Mondays aren't fun because you have to set your alarm early and get into the grind again.
I would love the Watermelon cards. They are so perfect for a summer picnic party.
Even though Halloween is over, I really like the Halloween goody bag stickers. Those are so cute. I would love to give them out for next years Halloween party.

Monday sucks because the whole friggin' cleaning schedule for the house starts over again and it's especially messy from the weekend of doing nothing.

Mondays suck because you have to wait almost a whole week to get to the weekend. Also Monday is the day I have to get up the earliest.
Thanks everyone that entered this weeks suck-day giveaway, but the contest is now CLOSED.
Come back next week for another sucky Monday giveaway!!
