What do you get when you cross a princess with a junkie? Why, a *GIVEAWAY* of course!

by Creative Junkie on August 7, 2009

You know how it is when you’re petite, savvy, unbearably cute and disgustingly talented? With great fashion sense?

Me neither.

I used to be petite and unbearably cute but then they took my umbilical cord away, slapped a diaper on me and it all went downhill from there.

And I don’t think I’ve ever been savvy, unless it was by accident.

But you know who is petite, savvy, unbearably cute and disgustingly talented with great fashion sense?

princess_lasertron_herself2

Princess Lasertron.

She lives in Omaha.

Not to be confused with Princess Leia who lives in a galaxy far far away. As far as I know, Princess Lasertron does not wear jumbo ear muffs made out of her own locks nor a gold lamé bikini. And even if she does, that’s her business, right? And I’ll just mind my own.

I like your hair, Princess Lasertron. And your necklace.

princess_lasertron_shoes

And when I say she’s got great fashion sense, I am SO not kidding. These are her shoes, people.

Can you say OH MY GOD seventy times fast while hyperventilating and drooling? I just did and I feel great, albeit slightly dizzy. Bet I would have felt a whole lot better if I had worn these shoes.

Princess Lasertron is a creative spirit, an entrepreneur, a designer, a blogger, a supporter of other local Omaha crafters and the walking personification of quirky adorable.

Is there such a thing?

princess_lasertron_wedding

Why, yes there is. See what I mean? This is one of her wedding photos. I mean, seriously? Could she be any sweeter?

Could he be any taller?

Could they be any more perfect together?

By the way, it was her boyfriend who dubbed her Princess Lasertron. She loved the nickname so much, she asked him to marry her and he said YOU BET and they’re still living happily ever after.

Do you know the last time I proposed anything to Nate?

Neither does he.

Unless hey, how about re-painting the laundry room counts?

I didn’t think so.

Do you want to know what Princess Lasertron does?

She’s a designer with a business here.

And she spreads around gobs of happy happy happy for 150+ brides a year by harnessing all that creativity bouncing around inside that talented head of hers and then cuts it and sews it and buttons it and wraps it until it comes out looks something like this:

princess_lasertron_white

I am in love with this bouquet and will gladly marry it. It’s delicate and classy and sophisticated.

Just like me!

Except for the delicate and the classy part.

Fine. And the sophisticated part.

Happy?

.

princess_lasertron_autumn

I am, just looking at this one. I’m assuming this was a fall themed wedding. Then again, I’m wrong more often than not. But luckily, Nate remains clueless about this little idiosyncrasy of mine.

Ignorance is bliss, that’s my motto.

.

princess_lasertron_brown_blue

I adore this one. I’m partial to lots of cream with little *pops* of color all over it. This explains why I’ve decided to keep my entire skin and not give it away to the Salvation Army.

.

princess_lasertron_blue_white

These little bundles of happy can be calm and poetic, announcing your presence to your beloved with a softly whispered I can’t wait to start anew with you.

.

princess_lasertron_purple

Or they can burst at the seams with barely contained excitement and shout HOT DAMN, LET’S GET HITCHED!

And the thing is, these flowers will last forever. You’re not spending money on something that is going to wilt and emit a funky odor within three hours, causing guests to look at you funny and hastily spritz you with perfume when you’re not looking.

These bouquets are going to last a long, long time. There will no browning, shriveling or dying or scrambling around trying to make potpourri before it gets sucked up in a Dyson.

.

princess_lasertron_multiple_bouquets

Display it on your mantel. Or on your bookshelf. Or simply make someone hold it in your foyer 24/7. Hey, how about your kids? Isn’t that what they’re for? That, and taking out the garbage?

No?

Wow. Please keep it to yourself then and don’t spoil it for the rest of us. Thank you.

.

princess_lasertron_hot_pink

Nate, will you marry me all over again?

Because I want a bouquet like this.

.

princess_lasertron_bride

And then I want to look like her while I hold it. Minus the tattoo because I’m a big, fat BAWK BAWK chicken when it comes to pain unless you give me lots of drugs in which case, I’m all over the pain! Bring it on baby!

.

princess_lasertron_yellow

.

We interrupt this post for an important message.These gorgeous flowers do not have to be used exclusively as wedding bouquets. This is a message from your emergency broadcast system.

.

Think outside the box. I know, I know. It can be scary and difficult. I, for one, always keep a box cutter and an oxygen tank handy whenever I attempt to do this myself.

But think about it. Why can’t you decorate your home with these? For holidays or parties or just because. That’s my favorite excuse for doing anything, like chasing after Anderson Cooper even though he’s proving to be very elusive.

Do you know how much my girls would love to have these flowers in their bedrooms? They are currently cleaning their bedrooms. THAT’S how much.

I would actually like to order a bunch and place them all around my house in vases and bowls and keep the eyes of my guests diverted from my gray carpets that were cream once upon a long time ago.

princess_lasertron_pink_button

How cute would this be in that crystal vase your mother got you but you never use because the last time your husband got you flowers, you were busy giving birth?

And Princess Lasertron does not limit herself to brides, just so you know.

She also makes hair bows and headbands for little girls.

.

princess_lasertron_hair_2

<thud> <———– That’s me, fainting from the sheer cuteness of it all. I’d like to plaster these all over Helena’s little head.

.

princess_lasertron_hairband

This is a headband. Doesn’t it make you want to gobble up a Granny Smith apple? Or ten?

*burp*

.

princess_lasertron_hair

And this one yells I MAY BE COVERED IN DIRT, BUT I AM STILL A GIRLY GIRL, SO THERE.

.

princess_lasertron_notebook

Look at these composition notebook covers she just started offering. Helena tried to jump into my monitor and abscond with this one but I yanked her back by her ankles.

She’s got really sturdy ankles.

.

princess_lasertron_notebook_2

Lather, rinse, repeat.

By the way, one of Princess Lasertron’s dreams is to appear on The Martha Stewart Show. And it could really happen. It’s an actual living and breathing possibility, not just one of those delusions some people have after downing six shots of vodka.

Not that I would know.

If you’ve got nothing else to do today, go vote for her projects here: Martha Stewart. Aside from the fact that she totally deserves to be on the show, I’m secretly hoping she makes it just to see her stand next to Martha so I can see the difference in their height. Yes, I know. I’m shallow. I lost my depth at about the same time I lost my waist.

Here’s the big news: Did you know that Princess Lasertron offers bouquet kits, a sort of do-it-yourself kind of thing but she does it all for you? Now, those of us who run screaming from bathing suits and thusly, don’t swim in creative gene pools, can make our very own bouquets and use them for a wedding or home decor or just to have a fun project when your kids say WE’RE BORED, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO three seconds after they wake up.

They’re called Princess Lasertron Felt Flower Bouquet Kits and they can be custom ordered via email at meg@princesslasertron.com in any color scheme you want. Personally, I want one for every single color and hue thereof on earth, but that’s just me. I tend to be a little obsessive.

These kits sell for $130 and come in funky boxes filled with lovely things such as hand-cut felt wool pieces, lots and lots of vintage buttons, embroidery floss, needles, pearl headed pins, satin ribbon and a bunch of other necessities as well as a few surprises. I love surprises! Except for the time I turned forty and hadn’t showered and was braless and twenty people showed up at my house and yelled SURPRISE in my face. Then, not so much.

Oh, and the kits come with detailed instructions! Perfect for those of us who do not have a “Y” chromosome and will actually read them. All you need to bring to the table is your own imagination and a pair of scissors. For those of you like me, please allot three additional hours to desperately search for one of the seven pair of scissors you own because you also happen to own a nine year old who is practicing to be a crafter and a hoarder simultaneously.

These kits make it so much easier to be creative like Princess Lasertron and they’re so much faster than standing around, waiting impatiently to just be her when we grow up, don’t you think?

And for those of you screaming JUST GET TO THE GIVEAWAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHY MUST YOU BABBLE ON SO?

Just because. That why.

Let’s get on with it, shall we?

Up for grabs:

.

One Princess Lasertron Felt Flower Bouquet Kit valued at $130.

Looky looky:

princess_lasertron_kit_2


Go right ahead and shriek a SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I just did!

princess_lasertron_colorswatch

This is the color scheme of the bouquet kit up for grabs. Can you say cool and refreshing? And get me some ice cold lemonade while you’re at it?

After you find your scissors and stare and faint at all the goodness you’ve won, you’ll soon whip up a snazzy gorgeous 10″ bouquet! Or, you can keep the individual stems separate and use each one however you want! And then you can sit back and bask in the awesome creative gloriousness that is YOU. Stick a stem behind your ear and then order a pizza for dinner. When your husband gets home, tell him that you are too exhausted from being awesome and creative and glorious to make anything else, let alone dinner.

How cute of a project would this be for your daughter? Little sister? Niece? Granddaughter? You know that little 9 year old scissor hoarding imp I mentioned earlier? She was all over me because she wants this kit so badly and when I told her that she couldn’t win it because it wouldn’t be fair, she promptly packed her suitcase and is currently walking down the driveway in search of a new mom who is not a blogger and who did not mess up her chance to be awesome, creative and glorious. And her fifteen year old sister is right behind her, telling her to wait up.


OK … here’s the scoop:

  • To enter, leave a comment in this post, telling me the last time you felt glorious. I’ll start. Two days ago, I found a gorgeous top at Kohls. It fit me without my having to relocate my boobs and it was on sale. And I had a coupon and Kohl’s cash. Oh yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!
  • If anyone has a spare life, I’ll take it. I obviously need to get one.
  • Anyone 18 or older can enter, even if you’re living in a swamp in the Amazon. Knock yourself out! You probably need it.
  • No entries after 5:00 pm eastern time on Sunday, August 9, because I will most likely have stopped feeling glorious by then and will simply feel bloated.
  • You know the drill. Random.org. Randommmmmmmmmmmm.
  • Your comment will show up, please be patient. Please don’t enter more than once! It makes me grumpy. I’ll already be bloated, please don’t add to my misery.
  • I’ll announce the winner on Monday!

That’s it! Good luck!

Who said the best thing to come out of Omaha was steak?

Hmm the last time I felt glorious was definitely yesterday. It was 70 degrees (SO rare for where I live in August, it’s usually closer to 100) with a light breeze and I spent my hour lunch break laying in the grass, enjoying the sunshine. Then I took the kids outside (I work with infants at a child development center) and we went an an hour long buggy ride. It felt glorious to be outside, enjoying nature and the beautiful weather. It’s the simple things, you know? :)

Louise August 7, 2009 at 10:50 am

MY heart be still I would love this….
Not for daughters, nieces or granddaughters but for
Me the mom, aunt and Grand me (was what my granddaughter use to call me when she was two).
And happily, I would sew my fingers to the bone…

The last time I felt glorious was just the other day. My dh reached over to me and gently touched my cheek
and said I love you…. We said our I do’s more than 38 years ago however, he can still make me feel like a young bride.

Kelly Welch August 7, 2009 at 10:51 am

The last time I felt glorious was last weekend when my daughter came to my sewing room to ask what I was doing. I explained I was making things for my business and she sounded exasperated and said “why do you make so much business stuff. Just make me some clothes I love them, and you haven’t even started on my back to school dress yet”. It was the best feeling to know that my almost 8yo still loves mamamade clothes. So I immediately started on her back to school dress. :)

Kellie B August 7, 2009 at 10:51 am

The last time I felt glorious was when I had a pedicure – did you know they have massage chairs at the spa?

LOVE this bouquet kit – I have the perfect place to put the finished project too!

106
kate August 7, 2009 at 10:51 am

The last time I felt glorious is easy…..last week! My 10 yr old flew on a plane alone to camp this summer!! I was ecstatic when I picked her up at the airport after 9 days!!!!

108
Amy August 7, 2009 at 10:55 am

Glorious….the last time I felt like that was when I was uber relaxed receiving a hot stone massage at the spa. Seriously, I melted. All of the stress just disappeared. Absolutely glorious :-)

109
Allie August 7, 2009 at 10:55 am

The last time I felt glorious was yesterday, when I got home from work early, got into my pjs, grabbed a frozen snickers bar, and started re-watching LOST, starting at season 1 :)

Jessica August 7, 2009 at 11:01 am

Love the Lasertron!!!

I last felt glorious when I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time last night. I’ve never done brows this thin before, but WOW I have browbones!

Thanks for setting up this contest and learning about your blog – I just moved into a house and would LOVE a Lasertron bouquet to decorate with!

Karalynn Tyler August 7, 2009 at 11:01 am

The last time I felt glorious was this morning cuddling on the couch with my kids. I don’t have many days left home with them before heading back to the classroom when school starts so I’m really trying to soak in as much snuggle time with my children because by next summer, they’ll be so much bigger, older, different, and they may not value snuggling nearly as much.

What an awesome give-away!

112
Cat August 7, 2009 at 11:03 am

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Let’s see – last time I felt glorious was 3 weeks ago when my Jill and I did a secret, sexy photo shoot for a mysterious surprise Christmas present, and I was wearing nothing but a red, white, and blue bunting.

113
Melissa August 7, 2009 at 11:05 am

Well, I don’t know about feeling glorious, but I was pretty darn thrilled when the first swimsuit I tried on at Kohls this summer actually didn’t make me look too bad. (And it also was on sale :) ) I had promised my daughter that I would get into the water at her pool party, so I needed to get a suit to do that since I have not worn one in several years … I HATE swimsuits!! Well, I would absolutely love, love, love one of Princess Lasertron’s kits. They are to die for.

Have a great weekend!

Susan in Colorado August 7, 2009 at 11:05 am

I felt ‘glorious’ yesterday.. I scored a Chico green suade jacket at the thrift store to wear in the fall time. I LOVE it.. Green with black Egypt type writing on it.. not to busy looking.. just right. THEN found some brown shoes that I knew I needed but wasn’t looking for. I was SO happy with my purchases and spent less than $20 on five or six items….

PS.. Love Princess Lasertron.. follow her blog almost daily. She is a cutie pie and her wedding pictures are ADORABLE.. you don’t have to sell me on her.. :)

115
Sarah August 7, 2009 at 11:08 am

The last time I felt glorious? Oh heck, I have no idea….I want to say my wedding but that was 15 years ago and it was planned by my mother and I looked like a poster child for the early 90’s complete with pepto bismal pink clad friends so that clearly wasn’t it….besides I ended up having to ditch the hubby awhile ago but that’s not what you were asking anyways….Maybe it was when a friend flew in from across the country just to take me out for dinner for my birthday because my birthday hadn’t been celebrated in oh 15 years but then my ex ruined that moment for me so that wasn’t it….Maybe it was when I was in NYC last month with my girls getting all dressed up to go to the theater but then again I was hot, swollen and was retaining water and was just 2 days out from a rather painful medical procedure so that wasn’t it either….hmmm….you’ve got me here….I think I need to win this so I can definitively say that the last time I felt glorious was when I won an amazing felt flower kit from Princess Lasertron and the Creative Junkie!!! Ya, that’s it!! Pick me Random Generator, pick me!!! Please, for the love of all that is holy – pick me!! Yes, I’m that in need of a glorious moment that I am begging a random number picker to pick me!

Kristina August 7, 2009 at 11:11 am

The last time I felt glorious was when I found the perfect white summer capris that I’ve been looking for for months and I only had to pay $9.00 for them.

117
Catherine August 7, 2009 at 11:12 am

I am drooling, yes drooling…lol
Oh how beautiful, would just luv to have this little beauty.
The last time I felt glorious was on Monday when I jumped on the bathroom scale and realized I have lost 17 pounds and have gone down two, yes two pant sizes. Oh life is good….
Enjoyed your blog immensely.

Valerie August 7, 2009 at 11:12 am

Love the bouquets! I felt glorious when I got to hold my friends brand new baby girl, oh the smell of such purity!

119
christi August 7, 2009 at 11:13 am

Such a great post! I love your presentation and those shoes would NEVER come in my size (12 ). :(

glorious? I am having a hard time on this one, but i would probably describe how i felt 6 weeks ago after an hour long massage as glorious! Now I need to figure out how to finagle one of those bad boys each week :)

Christina Moquin August 7, 2009 at 11:13 am

Last time I felt glorious was when I got my accounting grade last week – B+ in a class 55% fail

this is for my girls…they would love this!

122
Rebecca August 7, 2009 at 11:17 am

Oh man, I so want this!!! I love the bouquets and would marry my sometimes, uncooperating husband again to buy them. The last time I felt glorious, hmmm, I figured out my bra size the other day, no more overflow. Gotta love those moments!!!

This is my first time commenting on your blog. I have to say I love, I lol every time I read it, thanks for the laughs!!

123
shraddha August 7, 2009 at 11:17 am

i felt glorious when my twins hit 20 pounds mark….as they were born very little, 7 weeks early..

hail Omaha!!! I LIVE here!!!!

Elizabeth Adams August 7, 2009 at 11:18 am

I feel absolutely glorious YESTERDAY but not because it was my BIRTHDAY – - Just about every year I happen to feel glorious on my birthday because my mom, my philosopher, my friends, and my family are so creative and amazing! I’ve gotta admit – - the glorious-ness is still lingering. After all, birthdays are worthy of week long celebrations and I feel up to it… although my very own Princess Lasertron bouquet kit would bump me up to the next degree — extra-super-amazingly-glorious!

125
Bethie August 7, 2009 at 11:19 am

The last time I felt glorious? Hmmm, let me think a moment.

*crickets*

oh, I know. I was having a particularly bad day. My sister came over to cheer me up.
We went to Ruby’s for a diet vanilla coke.
We stopped at See’s for some delicious chocolate.
We had mani’s and pedi’s
We went ot dinner.
Then to top off a fabulous afternoon and early evening, we went to the movies for a double feature and laughed so hard our tummies hurt.

It really was glorious!:)

126
Mila August 7, 2009 at 11:22 am

The last time I felt glorious my 3yo daughter climbed into bed with me, grabbed my face with her little hands and told me I was the most beautiful Mommy in the world.

It was probably one of the most glorious things anyoe could ever do, but coming form her made it even better.

127
yvonne August 7, 2009 at 11:27 am

The last time I felt glorious was this morning as I took my first sip of morning coffee. Oooohhh, that very first sip tastes sooooooooooooooo good! It is what motivates me to get my rear in gear at the crack of dawn .

128
CaLynn August 7, 2009 at 11:28 am

Haha, your post made me laugh:) I love Princess Lasertron’s creativity and therefore this excites me so! The last time i felt glorious was…at my grad party because my bf went all out buying blow up monkeys and palm trees and other cutsie things – oh, not to mention the fact that i finally graduated! :)

129
betsy (pharmgirl) August 7, 2009 at 11:35 am

The last time I felt glorious was November 26th 2008. I didn’t realize it was going to be the last time then. If I had known I definitely would have celebrated.

Man, this girl is t-a-l-e-n-t-e-d !

130
Amy A August 7, 2009 at 11:39 am

I wouldn’t give this to someone! I would have a creative blast with a kit like this!

Last time I felt glorious was watching a movie with my husband. We were in the theatre, he was holding me tight and it just made me feel so so loved and well, GLORIOUS!

131
ann August 7, 2009 at 11:41 am

Well, I had to think about it, but it had to do with finding 3 cute shirts at H&M clearanced out at $3 a piece. Going into the dressing room (usually yuck time!) and finding out they fit nicely and I bought them. Three cute shirts, $3 each was bliss. Did I forget to mention my MIL was watching the kids? Yay!

132
ChristineB August 7, 2009 at 11:43 am

I adore Princess Lasertron’s creations. As the mom to 3 boys (and the only female in the house besides the cat), I’d love to win this awesome giveaway because I need a little girly in my life. The last time I felt glorious was on Wednesday when I wore a summer dress that I made myself that fit perfectly and was an awesome shade of bright turquoise. Even though it was cold & wet outside & I had to wear a blazer over top, I felt pretty all day.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

133
tracey August 7, 2009 at 11:44 am

i love drooling over princess lasertron’s bouquets.

the last time that i felt glorious was a year ago. i have a gorgeous sun dress to wear to sil’s wedding. love the dress. have only worn it to one place, but i go into to my room whenever i need a fix and put the dress on.

134
Liz B August 7, 2009 at 11:44 am

Just stumbled on your blog and I must say I LOVE it! You are one funny lady. The last time I felt glorious was in 1978 when I finally got my pink satin shiny jacket. I rocked the roller rink.

135
Allison (aka Miss French Bulldog) August 7, 2009 at 11:45 am

The last time I felt glorious was Monday when I tried my wedding dress on with my new veil :)
I heart Princess Lasertron, her flowers rock and I would love to try out her kit :) GREAT giveaway!

136
Jessica August 7, 2009 at 11:48 am

This morning I got an interview at a medical school I would really like to go to. It was sort of glorious.

amanda k. August 7, 2009 at 11:48 am

I LOVE Princess Lasertron! I’m hoping to use her bouquets and accessories in my wedding next June, but … what could be better than winning a bouquet kit!? Can you say “bridesmaids bouquets?”
The last time I felt glorious was probably just yesterday when I realized that, over the past week, I’ve biked over 20 miles to and from work. It was AWESOME to notice how fit I’m becoming while also saving money (no car payment, thank you very much) and helping dear old mother earth. All while living and working in Los Angeles. Ahhh!

138
Angie August 7, 2009 at 11:50 am

This blog is too cute and too timely…I actually felt glorious this morning as I was leaving for work my husband told me how great I looked and then said “Wait” (As he took a step back and gave me a once over) “I want to take it all in for a minute”. I really needed that.

139
Kristen August 7, 2009 at 11:52 am

the last time i felt glorious was last weekend. i finally got a fun part in a show (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream…a 50’s musical version!!) that fits me perfectly. being back onstage is AMAZING and i get to do it all over again this weekend, starting tonight. did i mention that my cast/crew are all glorious, too? :)

140
Liz August 7, 2009 at 11:52 am

Oh I love these bouquets!

It’s such a coincidence about the word glorious- I just thought to myself how glorious a morning we are having since it’s been raining forever and it’s finally bright and sunny.
I felt particularly glorious recently when I found out how much money I saved w/ Geico… ok, ok, just kidding-
honestly, this past weekend I was telling my mom how I found these clasps that hold the bra straps back so they won’t show with certain shirts, they improve the bust and most importantly help with posture. I’ve got terrible posture. A little while later she mentioned how much they are helping with my posture – I haven’t tried them at all yet- I’ve just improved that much by remembering at work – sit up straight! Since it was something she always nagged me about and since she noticed it later that made me feel great.

141
Kari Adams August 7, 2009 at 11:52 am

The last time I felt glorious was when my boyfriend Matthew proposed. This was a month ago, and I have been feeling pretty glorious ever since. Not that you need a man to make you feel like way, but you might need a diamond. I kid. But it does feel great to be secure in love and look forward to happily ever after with my boy and our rabbit, Harpo. She will finally be a legitimate child. And since I am slightly addicted to Princess Lasertron’s blog and bouquets it would be great to win this prize. Then I can try and make one myself for my wedding day (my colors are blue and white with pops of pink, so this works!) and if I mess it up, I still have time to email Meg and beg her to make a better one

142
jennifer hopper August 7, 2009 at 11:53 am

Well, the last time I felt glorious was when my 2 1/2 year old told me I was “boo-tiful”. I don’t usually feel “boo-tiful” taking care of little boys but he made my day that day!!!!

143
Gwen L. August 7, 2009 at 11:54 am

The last time I felt glorious… hmm… when I had to go shopping for new clothes for school (headed back for the MBA!) and I got 4 tops, a suit jacket and a great pair of earrings on sale with a coupon for 50% off. And then… when I started school on Monday wearing some of said clothes and I didn’t feel overwhelmed and intimidated by the rest of the students in my class. That was definitely glorious.

144
Denise Zebrak August 7, 2009 at 11:58 am

Every time I see Princess Lasertron (Megan) and all her glorious creations, I wish I’d never left Omaha–I’d love to meet her and chat with her and see her art in person. Winning one of her kits would be the next best thing!

My daughter is just a few years younger than Megan and she recently celebrated her 23rd birthday. I felt glorious when we took her out to dinner the night before to celebrate and we listened to her talk excitedly about her plans for her last year of college, and what she’d like to do after graduation–her chosen career path and maybe grad school. It’s so exciting to see what a wonderful young woman she’s become and all the possibilities that lie ahead for her. That day, twenty three years earlier, I held her for the first time and imagined what the future would hold (for both of us) and prayed that being a first-time mom I wouldn’t make too many mistakes, that she’d be healthy and happy and have a good life; she is, she does and I’m so proud of her!

I feel glorious every day! Life is wonderful and has so much to offer!!! I felt overly glorious last Sunday at a family get together. I had my new heart shaped glasses on, a funky flower in my hair, a tight t-shirt and short short shorts on and got comment after comment on how unbelievably good I looked (I’ve lost some weight ;) ) How glorious is that?! And that day my little puppy proved his love for me by being a good boy and listening and following me everywhere and looking at me like I’m a goddess and just the best thing to ever happen to him ;) That was a super glorious day!!!

princess lasertron rocks!!! i’ve tried to copy her style but nothing compares!!! her creativity is amazing! yay!!!

The last time I felt glorious was about 4 hours ago when I stepped on the scale and I’d lost another 2 lbs!! That makes 5 lbs in 2 weeks!! I’ve lost a total of 56 lbs over the last 7 months and am well on my way to losing another 25 before the end of the year!! :D :D :D

Those bouquets are to-die-for gorgeous!!!! I wish I had seen them 6 years ago when I got married! The last time I felt glorious was last week when I got ready for my son’s first birthday party and wore some heels with clothes that I owned before I got pregnant!!!! Even my husband commented on how cute I looked. However, I would feel glorious if I won the bouquet and could look at it every day!!!!

The last time I felt glorious was two weeks ago when I went shopping for a new wardrobe. I’ll be student teaching in the fall and until my shopping adventure, didn’t have any professional clothing. I bought so many cute things, now I have a professional wardrobe I can be proud of. I’m typically a fan of wearing lots of black, but I branched out and bought lots and lots of color for the first time in years. I feel so great in all the things I bought, truly glorious.

Courtney August 7, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Glorious? Seriously, it’s been a while. I should try to work on that. My 26th birthday is coming up at the end of October and I *think* my boyfriend has something big planned. I think I’ll make it a goal of mine to feel glorious that day. That is a great idea.

151
marlis August 7, 2009 at 12:14 pm

last time i felt glorious.. mmmm i cannot remember when. Was it when I found the perfect bench for my back yard and the price was right? Was it when i found a new pair of jeans and without trying them on bought them and they fit..
no, it was when my boys hugged me… or the grandchildren give me hugs.. that is it! cool kit, man i hope i win.

152
Brianna August 7, 2009 at 12:16 pm

I don’t stand a chance, but the last time I felt glorious was last night. I’m talking to a sweet new guy and I get to meet him next week. I fell asleep smiling for the first time since, well, since I don’t know when and THAT is a glorious feeling. Plus, I’ve decided I either have to get married or have some other sort of over-the-top party so I can wear a hot dress and carry a bouquet made by Princess Lasertron.

153
Tyra August 7, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Oh I love her stuff!! I drool over it on her website on a very regular basis! And yup, she does seem like the sweetest thing.. Fellow 2P chick here ;)

The last time for me was yesterday! Spent a couple hours filling out loads of paperwork, and mailed off everything to go back to school!!! Yahoooooo! I’m so excited & proud of myself!

Thanks for an awesome giveaway!!

nicholle August 7, 2009 at 12:20 pm

The last time I felt glorious was 5 minutes ago! I’d just watched this video of Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17KUOQOlt8E

Cori Barney August 7, 2009 at 12:25 pm

I felt glorious 2 weeks ago after getting my two tone hair-do cut and colored. I felt like a new person. My hair got fried over a year ago and I haven’t been able to do anything to it since. Thanks to my fabulous NEW hairdresser (fired the old) for making me feel glorious!!!! (that is a great word, by the way!)

156
sandy August 7, 2009 at 12:28 pm

loved the pictures, loved the post…this is such a beautiful idea.
My husband loves me and kids hug me even if my hair is all sticking up and I stink from working so I feel beautiful in that way.

157
Natalie Hansen August 7, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Your post was most delightful to read! I feel glorious today, because I have some of my paintings and jewelry at our local Art Hop tonight! And hopefully I will feel glorious tomorrow too, because I will have sold some of it!! http://www.nataliehansen.typepad.com

158
Hazel August 7, 2009 at 12:34 pm

I actually feel glorious right now!! I just got married 3 weeks ago today and I finally got my name changed. And after 2 long hours waiting at the DMV, I have my new license with my brand new name! Simply glorious! =)

159
Angie F. August 7, 2009 at 12:34 pm

I felt glorious this morning while looking at page after page of cute things at cuteoverload.com! I’ve done nothing else but view cuteness this morning!

160
Laurie August 7, 2009 at 12:35 pm

I love Princess Lasertrons work! I have been following her blog for months now and everything she comes up with is fabulous! I also bought one of her flower wrist coursages (not sure if that is spelled right!) but use it as a headband for my hair! It is so cute and I get a ton of compliments everytime I wear it!

The last time I felt glorious was tuesday morning. I was getting ready to go to the gym and decided maybe I would weigh myself to get inspiraton for a good work-out. The best part was I found out I had lost 5 pounds in the last month!!! To reward myself I bought a new outfit (I work at a clothing store so I got a discount on it besides!)

161
Judy Grubbs August 7, 2009 at 12:35 pm

I felt glorious last night when I was riding my BEAUTIFUL daisy cruiser as fast as I could pedal and felt like I was flying. I LOVE my bike and I LOVE the felt boquets.

162
Rebecca Richardson August 7, 2009 at 12:36 pm

I adore those colours and would have a perfect little studio space in which to sew and bring those flowers to life! I adore all of what Megan makes, and is so giving of ‘herself’.

I think the last time I felt glorious was when I finally had my visa approved and flew back to United States to spend forever with my fiance. Just seeing him at the airport, waiting for me gave me such a wonderful rush. There’s nothing like the amazing hugs and kisses he gives me to feel a million dollars!

Thanks heaps for the giveaway! :)

163
Amy W. August 7, 2009 at 12:39 pm

I love Princess Lasertron! I would love to win this kit! The last time I felt glorious was when I found out I was pregnant with my second child! :0)

emily kate August 7, 2009 at 12:40 pm

The last time I felt glorious was a couple of weeks ago listening to the NY Philharmonic in Central Park on the perfect night!

165
Martha August 7, 2009 at 12:42 pm

hmmm…when have i felt glorious lately?? guess when my youngest son looked at me and told me i was beautiful!! LOL i can certainly tell you when i’ll feel glorious in the future! IF my # gets chosen for this giveaway!! :D

166
Kristel August 7, 2009 at 12:42 pm

I heart Princess Lasertron. :-)

I felt pretty glorious this morning when I aced my final exam for this summer class I’m taking. It felt awesome to confidently fill in all the answers and walk out of there sure of my A+. :-)

167
scrapper al August 7, 2009 at 12:42 pm

Oh my gosh, I was so excited when I saw Princess Lasertron’s photo at the beginning of your post. I just drooled over all the keyboard, lol! (figuratively, not literally, of course, because then I’d have to clean the keyboard and I hate cleaning)

168
Sonya August 7, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Such a fun blog!!!
I felt absolutely glorious being in the North Carolina mountains last weekend. Nothing like mountain air and the sound of waterfalls to sooth your soul.

169
Rachel D August 7, 2009 at 12:48 pm

LOVE LOVE LOVE Princess Lasertron!!! Everyone should check out her blog, too… absolutely charming.

The last time I felt glorious was last night, sitting on the porch on a beautiful summer night, reading books with my mama, who’s visiting me from my hometown. Gotta love summer nights.

Pamela S August 7, 2009 at 12:49 pm

The last time I “LOOKED” glorious was quite a while ago…maybe 10 years? (Lord that’s sad isn’t it?) As I’ve gotten older and “fluffier” and wrinklier and splotchier, I admit to feeling less glorious. I think I need to go get glorious now that I’m thinking about it!! But I feel glorious when someone tells me I’m a good mother or my hubby or kids tell me they love me!

I do have a glorious daughter going to college this fall who loves to craft and her dorm room is in these colors. She’s LOVE to use these to decorate her room. And maybe she’d miss her mom when she looked at them!! sniff, sniff, sniff……

(P.S. I LOVED reading this post!! Not bored at all. Laughed out loud more times than I can count! I gotta subscribe just so you can make me laugh out loud!! Thanks for brightening my day!)

171
Lara August 7, 2009 at 12:50 pm

Ok, I felt glorious a few weeks ago when I discovered I no longer had to shop in the “fat girl” stores and could actually GO TO THE GAP AND BUY A CUTE CARDIGAN!! Yeah, it’s a simple thing, but, getting 3 new cardis at The Gap and then clearing ALL my old clothes out of my closet made me feel absolutely, positively glorious. I may have even been glowing. And believe me, as a snarky, sarcastic girl, glowing and glorious is NOT a normal state of affairs.

172
August Rhodes August 7, 2009 at 12:52 pm

that last time I felt glorious was last night. My husband is out of town and I thought to myself “Hey self why don’t you get stuff done around the house like Organize the garage, and paint the dining room chairs.” When I hauled the cabinet up on the wall by myself and it was leveled I felt like supergirl. And when I finished finally paint the dining room chairs I felt so accomplished.

I guess it’s the just the little things right.

p.s. I love Princess Lasertrons flower bouquets and wish I had found them before my wedding they would have been perfect.

173
Megan V August 7, 2009 at 1:00 pm

I *heart* the felt flower bouquets!! When is the last time I felt glorious? Is it super corny to say my wedding day? It was only about six months ago so it’s still pretty fresh in my mind. My husband and I got ready together, and he helped me button allllll of the buttons up the back of my handmade dress!! That is love :) I felt glorious.

I can show you, if you’d like!!

Nicola August 7, 2009 at 1:00 pm

I adore those flowerts – the last time I felt glorious was when I was shopping and discovered that a beautiful pair of fuschia pink suede high heel shoes that I had been lusting after for months were not only on sale, but they also fit perfectly. A shoe match made in heaven :)

175
aleks August 7, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Oh, that is SO cute…she makes the cutest bouquets ever.

The last time I felt fabulous, was a couple nights ago when my DH gave me a pedicure and painted my nails! Since, he was so generous to do that I let him choose the colour…of course it was red! :)

176
Amy B. August 7, 2009 at 1:09 pm

I could just squee with the cuteness of those flowers and I am not a squee type girl. ;)

Glorious? hmmm. that’s a toughy lately. Picking huckleberries was pretty good. It’s been years since I was in the mountains and it was just gorgeous. Having a gallon of berries to cart home and make jam out of was pretty good too.

177
samantha August 7, 2009 at 1:10 pm

there once was a princess lasertron
who’s flower kit, i have a chance on
i’ll hope and i’ll dream

fingers crossed my number is drawn.

the last time i felt glorious? after a during a recent bout of heartache, my best friend drove an hour to come to my door and surprise me with homemade meatballs and plenty of hugs. friendship is glorious, i must say.

178
Ashley Clark August 7, 2009 at 1:11 pm

The last time I felt glorious was probably at the last photography shoot I did. Photography is my passion, and the photos were coming out so nice! I hope to be able to take pictures of my friend Liz again soon :)

Anyway, I ? Princess Lasertron!

I LOVE Princess Lasertron bouquets!

The last time I felt glorious…reaching 20 pounds of weight loss this week after a 6 week plateau!

180
Lynette August 7, 2009 at 1:13 pm

The last time I felt glorious??!! I’d have to say it was in June in Hawaii while swimming with the turtles. I think they are glorious creatures and I felt glorious gliding along side them!

181
Carla August 7, 2009 at 1:14 pm

Gloriousness can be found in a string of fantastic hair days and self-confidence. Luckily for me, I found it last week!

Love her work!

182
Julie Bergeron August 7, 2009 at 1:16 pm

I felt glorious this morning running through the forest preserve and seeing a deer in the middle of the path. Dang the runner coming the other way that scared the beautiful deer off!! It was glorious and it filled me with energy to keep going.

P.S. My dear daughter is a wedding planner apprentice. What a great bouquet to show the brides!! They are truly works of art!!

183
Jennifer H August 7, 2009 at 1:19 pm

I’m actually feeling glorious RIGHT NOW! I found some adorable wedges *on sale* at Gordmans while school shopping for my kids last night. It’s been two years since I bought a new pair of shoes for myself. They were so cute (and COMFORTABLE!) that I just had to wear them to me very *very* informal office today. (We’re so informal that three people asked me if I was going to a funeral and two asked me if I had a job interview just because I was wearing shoes that weren’t flip-flops or in any way athletic.)

184
Lisa! August 7, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Hmmmmmmmm. Glorious? Pretty much every time my 8 year old tells me how beautiful I am. Let me tell you, I certainly wasn’t beautiful until he came along, now I’m queen of the world.

185
Qwendy August 7, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Last time I felt glorious? Rather personal question if you know what I mean. I’d have to say it was last night ;)

186
Laura August 7, 2009 at 1:24 pm

My last glorious moment was a highly unlikely one. I was wearing clothes I hate to the gym (not glorious) and having a seriously bad hair day (also not glorious), but I managed to survive 20 minutes on the eliptical with fainting or passing out which did make me feel glorious. Perhaps there is hope for me after all!

187
Misslissa August 7, 2009 at 1:25 pm

I have several Princess Lasertron hair bows and headbands and they’re not just for little girls :) I love her!

The last time I felt glorious was on our last girls night out…you know when you’re having a skinny day, a good hair day, and everything looks good on you? Yeah it happens once every 20 years or so for me but it did last weekend and I had the best night out! :)

188
lindsay jenkins August 7, 2009 at 1:36 pm

I love your Kolhs note, shopping there tonight – I hope I find a lot of glorious items. I would say that I felt glorious last night while watching a movie with my husband. the movie got us talking about highschool and other things and I just had moment of how darn lucky I am and that every time he looks at me i feel great!

189
Kim August 7, 2009 at 1:40 pm

I felt glorious when I dropped off a baby gift to a former colleague (and she loved it) and I saw how many people actually miss me!

190
Jaden August 7, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Last time I managed to feel glorious? Was when my husband told me out of the blue a couple weeks ago that I’ve “Been looking good lately.” Hurrah!

No, it doesn’t take a lot to get me excited… lol!

191
LaurynBrook August 7, 2009 at 1:41 pm

I love Princess Lasertron! I am dying to have her make my bouquet for my wedding!

Actually the last time I felt glorious (other than just waking up this morning) was last night when I got an email from our wedding photographer saying she’s giving us a deal on our photos. The entire day photographed and all our photos edited on a CD with a print release… drum roll please….. $750!!!! I burst into tears. I wish I was kidding! Talk about glorious!

192
Chandra August 7, 2009 at 1:42 pm

The last time I felt glorious was July 26 when my youngest turned 10! She has grown so much and is such a sweet, caring girl that my heart swells when I look at her!

193
lenora August 7, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I will feel glorious in about 2 hours when this freaking class is over and I can go home.

194
tara steele August 7, 2009 at 1:47 pm

The last time I felt glorious was last weekend. I got ready to go out with my husband. I had on a cute little outfit and had done my hair and makeup…when he saw me he said, “wow, you look great.” It always feels glorious to hear that after spending the whole day with your 2 little kids.

195
Jennifer August 7, 2009 at 1:51 pm

Love the kit!!! I just love every. single. thing. that Princess Lasertron makes!

The last time I felt glorious was Wednesday. I had pulled a muscle in my back the day before and was in agony. On Wednesday I got a massage and felt like a new woman! My dear friend who gave the massage did not charge me for it and I felt like the luckiest girl in town!

196
Jess August 7, 2009 at 1:54 pm

i heart princess lasertron for many, many reasons – including that we both proposed to the cute boys in our life.

i love the word glorious!
it makes me laugh.
my husband/partner/man friend says it when he’s excited about something
and raises his hand in the air, all super-geeky like.
he’s pretty much always excited about me –
and i’m pretty much always excited about me –

so i pretty much ALWAYS feel glorious.
it’s good for you!
xo.

197
alycia August 7, 2009 at 2:11 pm

the last time i felt glorious was when i was graduating from school on top of my game, with hardly a clue at really how difficult it would be to find a job :) ignorance was bliss lol!

198
Susan August 7, 2009 at 2:13 pm

I felt glorious yesterday. I watched Marie Antoinette with my siser and decided to make hair super SUPER poofy and wear bright read lipstick to work. Everyone commented and I just felt great :)

199
shelby August 7, 2009 at 2:15 pm

i feel gorg any time i try on clothes in a dressing room and don’t look hideous and washed out in the fluorescent light. i mean really they’d sell more clothes if they had better lighting! maybe even no light at all. and of course megan isn’t the only fabulous thing to come out of omaha because i’m from there too! ;)

200
Gina August 7, 2009 at 2:18 pm

My last moment of gloriousness…Wednesday…you know that magazine “Take Ten” put out by Somerset? It’s full of greeting cards that are supposed to take ten minutes to make. I have never made one in under 45. Wednesday–popped one out in TEN. (It may have helped that I only had 15 minutes to do it, but whatever…ten was the magic number.) And the person lI made it for loved it.

201
Susan August 7, 2009 at 2:24 pm

I can’t remember the last time that I felt glorious–it isn’t something that I feel often. It’s such a wonderful feeling when it does happen though. Finding just the perfect piece of jewelry, or shoes is such a great feeling that can last for days. Glorious is how I feel about Princess’s bouquets–the lucky brides must feel extra glorious on their special to have one of those gorgeous bouquets.
