Guess who forged her mother’s name on the paperwork and then ran away at seventeen to join the Navy? And got herself a degree in main propulsion engineering? And worked on some of the largest deep water oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico?
And perhaps most ballsy of all … hired a housekeeper for over a year and never told her husband?
Me!
Just kidding.
As if.
I only forged my mother’s name once, while in high school, to get out of gym class so that I could go four wheeling with an asshat whose muscles were three times bigger than his brain. My gym teacher caught me and then my mother psychologically banished me to Siberia and to this day, my frontal lobe suffers frostbite the instant I enter a school gymnasium.
I never had the chutzpah or genetic disposition to do anything cool like join the Navy. I was a self-absorbed, uncoordinated, seventeen year old rebelling the only way I knew how … in a miniskirt and four inch black patent leather heels. So even if I had tried it, I’d have probably gotten as far as the driveway before breaking both my ankles, resulting in an emergency trip to the ER where I would have met Dr. Hottie with whom I’d become totally infatuated and over whom I’d cry buckets after being discharged. From the hospital. Not the Navy since I never made it to the Navy in the first place because of my lousy DNA.
Did I mention that my entire body swam in stupid at seventeen?
To answer my own questions above … I’m talking about Jessie of Designs by Jessie. You can find her ad over there —–> in my sidebar. She’s the one offering $4 off your first order and she’s just extended the offer through the end of November! Enter CREATIVEJUNKIE4 at checkout!
I have an anal-retentive, penmanship bond with Jessie. Her children drive her nuts because they write their letters from bottom to top. My youngest drives me insane because she starts her letters out fat and then they gradually succumb to anorexia by the time she gets to the right margin.
Jessie takes the plain and ordinary and transforms it into something pretty damn good looking. I’m about to jump into a FedX box and ship myself off to her, out of sheer desperation.
.
.
This is one of her pretty camera strap slip covers. The front and the back. Don’t you love how they coordinate?
I wish my front and back were so coordinated. What the hell, Mom and Dad? Were you blind when you made me? Drunk? What?
These patterns make me feel refreshed, like someone splashed ice cold water on my face while I was in the throes of a hot flash. You know? Hot flash? When the sun decides to cop a squat in your bra for ten years?
.
Jessie’s camera strap slip covers slide right over your existing camera strap, that plain, black torture device the manufacturers include with their cameras. What they lack in imagination, they more than make up for in functional hideousness. We’ve all seen the straps, right? Those thick, mini-seatbelt looking things that hold your camera and hang from your neck and cut into your skin and give you a rash and make you scream OH MY GOD, I SHOT TWO HUMANS THROUGH MY PRIVATES, HAVEN’T I DONE ENOUGH ALREADY? SOMEONE ELSE HOLD THE DAMN CAMERA after three hours at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
My PSA for today: Don’t shriek in aquariums. It scares the fish.
Think of the manufacturer’s camera strap as an ugly ass couch with scuzzy dog hair all over it, ripped and torn, held together with duct tape and dried up mustard. Who wants to sit on that when you have a party?
But everyone will fall all over themselves to get near it if you cover it with something pretty!
Not that I’m advocating treating your camera strap like a couch. You don’t want your guests fighting over who can sit on your camera strap first, especially if it’s around your neck. That could be awkward, especially if you’re lying there dead from asphyxiation, leaving your guests to wander about aimlessly, asking out loud “Who wants to play Scattergories?”
.
They’re lined with fleece interfacing for durability and comfort. Oh, and guess what? They’re washable too. So if your neck oozes ring around the collar, or your daughter eats Cheetos and grabs your camera so she can play Ansel Adams, no problem!
Have I mentioned that I’m a sucker for polka dots? If Nate had just worn polka dots on our first date, he wouldn’t have even had to buy me dinner. Just dessert.
.
Looky, looky! Jessie can make a little pocket for your lens cap! So now, you won’t lose your lens cap when you set it down on a guard rail in order to take a shot from atop the 120 meter ski jump in Lake Placid, only to miss the shot entirely by having a myocardial infarction because your husband likes to stand at the edge of tall buildings and pretend to jump off them due to some latent Superman tendencies. It’s not until four hours later, back at the hotel, when you realize your lens cap is still perched 120 meters up in the sky and Clark Kent refuses to go back and fetch it, even though you offered him a quickie with your 17th personality, Lois Lane.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.
.
If you love the feel of softness around your neck, you can even ask Jessie to attach some plush, furry minky to one side of your strap. Personally? If I had my druthers, I’d wear nothing but minky all day every day. Unfortunately, I have kids and they absconded with my druthers a long time ago, probably burying them in the back yard somewhere, right next to my social life.
.
This is one of Jessie’s Perfect Pockets. It’s made to carry your cellphone, small camera, iPhone, iTouch, iPod and quite possibly your toddler, if she’s small boned and squishy. She can even customize it to carry your crackberry at no extra charge!
The Perfect Pocket, not your toddler. I assume you’ve taken care of all those customizations yourself.
.
.I don’t know about you, but I throw my phone into my purse where it cavorts with all sorts of sharp things like pens and keys and my favorite four pronged fork that I lost last year and recently found hiding on the floor of my car’s back seat, underneath a fossilized Christmas ham. My poor cellphone screen winds up being used as an etch-a-sketch with half its keypad stuck down by chewed-up spearmint gum and then when I try to dial my mother in North Carolina, I wind up yelling CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? HOW ABOUT NOW? to some poor, socially challenged, agoraphobic shmuck in Idaho who just trampled over his thirty cats to answer the phone.
I could avoid that entire scenario if I had a Perfect Pocket.
.
I’m not sure what I’d do with all the free time I’d have from not scrounging around the bowels of my purse for my phone. Knit a sweater, maybe? Learn a language?
Conquer a small country? Is Liechtenstein still available?
Is Liechtenstein a country? Or a small musical instrument?
I’ll take How The Hell Did I Graduate College Suma Cum Laude for $800, Alex.
.
Hey, how many of you work at a place where you are required to wear a lanyard with a security tag around your neck?
I do!
OK. Fine. I work from home. Happy now?
But security tags make me feel important so, every once in awhile, I create one in Photoshop, print it out, laminate it, throw it around my neck, run around the house in my jammies and pretend like I actually matter. Sometimes I’ll even pretend to be really important and duct tape my cellphone to my ear just like a bluetooth and then buzz my imaginary secretary and request a lunch reservation at Le Cirque with Anderson Cooper. Around noonish.
But if I had to wear one in public? Like, officially, with actual real live people?
I’d make sure it was pretty.
Or rather, Jessie would.
.
Like these. Why the hell not? Is there a law that says lanyards have to be dull and boring, devoid of any and all personality whatsoever? I mean, what are they, Wolf Blitzer?
Sorry, Wolf. You just make it too easy. By the way, tell Anderson not to be late for lunch. I hate waiting.
.
Up for grabs:
.
Two (count ‘em, TWO ) $25 shopping sprees at Designs by Jessie!
Not just one.
Two!
That means two winners, for the mathematically challenged. Not that there’s really any math involved because I’m not a sadist, no matter what they say.
Think holiday shopping!
49 days until Christmas. Thought I’d throw that out there!
Alright, so I’m a teensy bit of a sadist. Sue me.
.
The devil’s in the details, right?
- To enter, leave a comment in this post and tell me what I’d find if I jumped into your car this instant and looked at the floor. I’ll go first … my car? I shudder to think. Get your shots updated. And bring a shovel. Maybe we’ll discover Jimmy Hoffa!
- Anyone 18 or older can enter. You young’uns – do you even know who Jimmy Hoffa is?
- Shopping sprees expire one month from winner notification.
- Winners must confirm notification within 48 hours or I’ll have to choose a substitute and then my blog schedule will be totally messed up and I’ll be cranky.
- No entries after 9:00 pm eastern time on Sunday, November 8, because that’s when I will be famished and dragging myself up to the trough for a snack. Stay back. DO NOT FEED THE ANIMAL. Unless you have a donut.
- I will use Random.org to choose the winners. Oh, it’s no problem! No problem at all! You are so welcome!
- One entry per person. Entering more than once drives me batty. And believe me, I don’t need to be driven batty. I can walk there quite easily on my own.
- My blog theme Thesis is still messing with my comment numbers. It numbers all the way to up comment #300 and then starts back at #1 again. It’s infuriating but I’m aware of it so go ahead and post your comment and don’t worry if there are duplicate comment numbers! I’ve got a handle on it!
- I’ll announce the winners on Monday!
.
That’s it!
Good luck!

On my floor, a blanket from my daughter, her shoes, my husband’s stereo case, and dirt!
Twitter: ScrapprsWkshp
November 7, 2009 at 2:01 am
Boy, custom ANYthing sounds good right now! I’m lucky 99?
you’d find a bag of trash..i just cleaned up in there! Unfortunately the little trash bag remains lol
great giveaway and GREAT products!
If you checked my car floor right now, you would find some reusable shopping bags, a few stray pieces of trash and some toy my son dropped. It is actually half decent right now…lol.
What floor? haha!
Yeah..it’s THAT dirty! I’ve got clothes that have gotten too small for my kids (because I never took them out for them to wear ‘em!) in there, receipts galore, half-filled trash bags (where I TRIED keeping my car clean), and just recently my daughter found a bag of grits that I had bought at the grocery store (who knows when?!) and forgotten about.
That’s just the beginning…
Hmmm That’s a tough question. My car also went the way of the high falootin’ bank guys – you know, the ones with jobs?? The only thing that gives me a bit of satisfaction is knowing just how many of my ‘beasts books, snacks, fast food wrappers, empty Coke cans/bottles, and God only knows what else, they had to wade through in order to do whatever they do with their newly acquired loot.
Can you imagine one of them having to get into my car with their freshly dry cleaned suit on?
Oh wait. They probably have people for that. And it’s probably some other mom.
Our car has basically matting for our feet and plastic grocery bags form the store in case we need them for something, grocery store flyer, so not very much on the floor
Great post … thanks for the laughs!
I’m normally a very clean person … but my two-year-old isn’t. So I know for a fact (because I look at it and cringe everyday) that my car floor is filled with Nerds, Cheerios, cookie crumbs, chocolate covered raisins, a few ripped stickers, and some teddy bear erasers. I’ll clean it up tomorrow, but by Monday, it will look exactly the same! But as much as I hate the mess, I love the reason it’s there, so I can’t complain too much.
You would find meeting notes from teacher meetings strewn all over the floor of my car–so much for important memos (oops)
For once you wouldn’t find anything on my floor. DH was kind enough to clean it out
I *LOVE* those camera strap covers. They totally rock.
You won’t believe this, but there is NOTHING on my car floor right now. DH just vaccumed it for me and it’s nice and clean.
Let’s see, once you push your way past the dried (hopefully) leaves, stale cheerios, and smooshed goldfish you might find the floor board covers or maybe my homework from last week’s Sociology class.
Love these!!!!!! Just gorgeous.
If you jumped in my car right now you would see childrens books, a diaper (not used of course), baby wipes and I think there are two broken crayons and I am just the grandma.
thanks for the chance to win.
nothing – clean
Currently I have leaves in my car because I bought three crepe myrtles yesterday and crammed them in my jeep cherokee. I had to throw everything else in the back which now consists of a Christmas presents, clothes, shoes, coupons and whatever goodies I have found along the way! I love the camera straps she has! I have been needing one!
In my car, you’d find a bunch of toddler toys on the floor…and other than that, not much else.
On the floor of my car right now you would find some books and toys and a file folder of papers that I need to bring inside and go through, but would rather not.
What a nice giveaway – Thank you for offering this!
In my car? Probably empty shopping bags for my next trip to the grocery store…..umbrella….pretty boring stuff really….
If you jumped into my car right now, you’d be impressed with how clean it looks. Just don’t look too closely! The pockets behind the front seats are jammed with a multitude of earbuds… I have three teenagers, and for some reason, when their earbuds for their ipods stop working, they end up in my car (in case someday they want to listen to the car stereo and don’t care that only one ear works – does that make sense to anyone over 19?). In the very back behind the bench seat, is a very neat pile – a folded blanket in case the car breaks down and we’re cold, some reusable grocery bags in case we need to stop at the store, an emergency kit with jumper cables, a first aid kit, a few water bottles. There are magazines and a pad of paper tucked in next to the console between the front seats, for those times I’m stuck waiting to pick someone up from work or band practice. There are a couple of quarters in my cupholder for trips to Aldi. Sunglasses – two pair. If you looked under my seats you’d find a multitude of straw wrappers, I’m sure – my oldest works p/t at McD’s.
Love your blog, by the way – fun to read! And I LOVE the camera straps and pockets… keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks!
I have a fetish about keeping my car clean so the only thing you’re gonna find is my floor mats and my shopping bags.
Oh dear, the floor of my car? Well, the one thing you probably wouldn’t find easily is the actual floor! I’m not organized, I have small kids and we live in a place that is 90% dirt. I haven’t looked at the floor in a couple of days but I’m pretty sure there are a few handwipes, lots of dirt, some acorns, leaves, rocks, toys, books and who knows what else. My kids think any flat surface is a great place to store whatever they are tired of carrying. Drives me nuts. . . although I too walk there perfectly well on my own.
An ice scraper and floor mats and maybe some dead grass that got tracked in from cutting across the yard – that’s it.
k! I’ll play! The floor of my car…ugh. Well you’d find DIRT, pebbles, umm…ashes (hanging head in shame) and possibly some hairy, dirty, ash covered bits of candy, not to mention leaves, dried mud and quite possibly a bug or 2! LOL!
**waving HI JESSIE** I NEED one of those security tag holder things! We’re encouraged at work to clip them to the bottom of our shirt and not wear them around our neck (to avoid being strangled by a client :p) yep! really! but I am the different one of course who takes her chances and wear my tag from my strap around my neck! My current one is black with yellow smilies on it…I NEED a change!!
On my car floor is empty water bottles (bad for the earth, I know I know…), magazines, Berenstein Bear books, mittens (yes, we’ve already had our first snow), and sick tissues….I feel much “free-er” now that the truth has been laid out
Thanks for the contest!
The floor of my van looks like Toys R Us threw up! I have 4 kids and whenever we go somewhere they have to bring a plethora of crap with them. So right now, there is 3 Star Wars figures, 1 lime green water gun, 1 black cap gun (omg what does that say about me lol), 2 pairs of socks (why I don’t know), 1 transformer star wars ship, a couple of marbles, 1 nerf ball and a huge book of Dr Seuss stories. Let’s not mention the candy wrappers from Trick or Treating!
Thanks for the chance!
I had to buy a 4dr pickup because there was never room on the passenger side for a passenger due to my junk! But, the floor of the new truck (in the back) today is full of packages to be shipped out and lots of empty fabric shopping bags (begging to be filled at the grocery store, oh goody). In the front, we have an empty Fuze bottle, a stray sock, my riding boots & spurs, hand sanitizer, box of kleenex, 2 dog leashes, a horse halter, various Halloween candy wrappers, and all of last week’s junk mail. Wanna go for a ride with me?
Thanks for the fun post.
This time of year, my car floorboard has mostly crunchy fall leaves in it. And then they get crunched up by tinier feet than mine and ground into the carpet, and then become this nasty layer of crunchy dirt. Yummm…
Well you just reminded me I really need to clean my car out! Oh goodness what isnt on the floor of my car!! There are toys and more toys paper and crayons from those creative moments of trying to draw the trees as we zoom by! And who knows what else!
Oh, um, ew. This is off the top of my head… A plastic bag, some papers, a drinking straw, a book thats cover was completely faded by the sun before it melted the glue and all the papers fell out (and it’s still in my car, I know…), CDs my college roommate burned me (4 years ago!), crumbs from who knows what…. Yikes, hope my mom doesn’t see this–she has always given me a hard time about how dirty my car is!!!
I just cleaned my car out the other day so all that can be found on the floor right now are dead leaves. Drove me crazy when I first saw them there this morning, but leaves are better than what was there before…when I couldn’t even see the floor mats.
Ugh….I shudder to think what all is in there…but the things I know are booster seats, sunglasses, a giant green pillow that my son insisted he had to have from his grandma’s, a mountain of spare change, and whatever crumbs & assorted garbage my kids have managed to leave behind or stuff in the crevices…sigh…I should go clean my car!!
On my car floor right now is NOTHING-I just vaccuumed it out today!
Awesome!
You’d see just newspapers and dirt LOL
Thanks soo much for the chance!
Lol for the first time in months, if you were to look on my car floor you’ll find whatever my niece (who I payed to clean it yesterday) shoved under the mats
Hey thanks for this chance to win. I really enjoyed reading your posts
on my car floor you would have found dog hair from my Golden Retriever (when we took her to the vet), but my super nice hubby just took it to the car wash to get it vacuumed. Yay!
My car is always a mess, my 3 kids just mess it up as soon as I clean it out! Right now I think there are a couple of discarded jackets, bunch empty kids takeout cups, crumpled up straw wrappers, some loose change, leaves & rocks, lots of crumbs and whatever else my kids have dumped down there lol!
My car isn’t bad right now, but that’s mainly because it’s relatively new. It already has a coffee stain though!
Gosh, I just about bust my gut reading this. Hilarious! My face hurts from laughing so hard.
(Thanks, I really needed a laugh today!)
Let’s see, if you were to jump in my car right now…guessing its the passenger’s seat…if you were to look at the floor you’d see a big ol’ barrel of Dum-Dums. In the back seat would be assorted thrown wrappers and chewed up sticky little white sucker sticks, courtesy of his little sugar highness, my 6 yr old, Bubba (aka monkey).
Thanks for the opportunity to win something. I love her stuff!!
Lisa
Ohhh on a normal day, shoes from small child, toys from said small child, and grass from outside. (okay and a straw wrapper or two or maybe three from Sonic….UGH that place kills me!). But today, because my husband rocks, you would find nothing but the floor mats!
At this moment you would find an unopened jug of Tidy Cat litter crystals waiting to be brought into the house by a lazy teen, about 3 half empty Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke bottles, papers from the Sexual Harassment workshop that was mandatory last week, Tim Hortons and McD’s empty bags where breakfast once lurked…a bag of peanuts from Gillette Stadium, opened, with scattered peanuts all under the front seats, guess I should toss them to the squirrels huh…lol.
In my car, you would find out church bag (the same bag we swear we would take out of the car so we would actually remember to read our Bible). There would also be a bunch of receipts to bills we actually paid. Finally, you cannot discount our fast food containers. Thank you
well for the first time in a long time you would find a rubber mat.. I cleaned my car out finally.. well maybe a couple pieces of puppy food. *grin*
Crumpled up fast food bags, a hell of a lot of receipts, and a new strain of the bubonic plague.
Sure I freely admit that I came for my chance at the free giveaway like all the other hounds with our hands out. Holy cow that was funny. After I passed 40 I need some kind of warning when I’m going to be laughing like that. If you are going to cause me to bypass my discrete feminine protection and require plastic sheets and rubber tubing you could at least have the decency to put a warning in bright red letters at the top. So forewarned from now on. Oh and as far the 40 part, I’m 29, really. A really, really mature 29. Oh hell you don’t care. I just hope I win and her stuff is really cute.
Hey, you know, I have the most random things in my car right now. So you would find a charger with the DS charge cables plugged in. You would find the most recent book published by the Dalai Lama and a highlighter, and the mail from yesterday. I forgot to bring it in. I also have a cup. It has tape around it. It had a crack and I didn’t know until I was driving. So I pulled over and taped it with the packing tape in my “junk drawer” aka Glove box.
I should throw that away maybe.
If you were to look in our floor you’d see a lot of sand from when my husbands at work, and a small trashacn in the backseat that somehow doens’t manage to catch much trash – cough, husband, cough!
You crack me the hell up! And I covet that camera strap! Lovelovelove them.
Okay, back of my Tahoe right now has a cardboard box containing two large serving platters and 2 smallish Easter baskets. (my girlfriend cleaned out her garage, and found these that I left at her house last APRIL, and just got around to giving them back!. A Macy’s bag with a sweater I have yet to return.
I’m sick of hearing those stupid platters clanging around everytime I hit a bump. Should get off my ass right now and go take them out.
or not.
yvonne
Ha! My passenger side floorboard, you can’t even see it. It’s covered with drink bottles, food bags, and old mail.
Just about anything and everything. Mostly papers, some jackets that the kids left, a package of baby wipes, a box of tissues, kids artwork from nursery at church, etc. I really need to clean my van out!

You wouldn’t find anything in the front, but in the back you would find a ton – reusable shopping bags, newspapers, misc crap, and a hairdryer I meant to return to Target a month ago but never did.
actually I was good yesterday and cleaned out my car and vacuumed so its clean, nothing in the floor but floor mats
you’d find a diaster in my car. you’d find shoes, water bottle, blanket, toys, plastic bags.. a big mess!
Right now? Absolutly nada! Hubby just cleaned it out for me yesterday. Were talking detail here, he was totally sucking up. I don’t know what for yet, but I’m sure I will find out soon. If I would have entered this two days… it would horrible. I have an obsession with Mcdonals. and the bags never make it out of my car… yikes!
I’m hiding the KING on the floor of my backseat! Not “the” king as in Elvis, but the KING as in that darn Burger King “King” who creeps everyone out when they think of waking up and that thing is staring at you. All of my friends and family want him gone so I decided to kidnap him and take him to a place no executive at Burger King would ‘ever’ think of. (McDonalds warehouse, in the back, where all the new inventions are kept, the ones that never make it to the restaurants…)
Also I there are two car seats, numerous toys, empty water and juice bottles and some gym clothes (just in case I ever make it to the gym) Thanks for having this fun, fun, fun contest!!!
on the floor of my car you shall find snickers wrappers and water bottles lol. also dunkin donut bags
Hmmm, I’m pretty sure you would find candy wrappers, old schoolwork, a stray jacket, an extra pair of shoes, among many other things on the floor of my van. When we bought our new van this summer, I decided to turn over a new leaf and actually keep it clean… it actually lasted about 3 months! But now it’s getting away from me again. Of course, my four mess-makers don’t help one bit!
you would find an empty box of Kleenex and a few water bottles. Possibly a match box car or two (or nine)
If you jumped in my car right now you would fine fast food wrappers, fast food bags, two big books of cd’s. a toy gun, a toy sword (small) a booster seat, And two pom dogs (every time I open my door they jump in to go too). Oh and lets not for get the lady bugs. They have swarmed the area and love my white car for some reason.
Well…if you would jump in my car…you would be amazed how cool imaginary cars look!
Yes that’s right…I don’t have a car at the moment…it’s wandering around…somewhere out there in the big big world!
*sigh* I hope it finds me soon though!
Lovely straps! Really cool!
Take care!
TJ
A trash can with used tissues in it.
I have a three year old and a 1 month old–I bet you can imagine what is probably living on the floor of my car!! I could probably feed a starving child for a month with the leftover crumbs in my seats! Thanks for a great giveaway!
You’d find some leaves on the floor of my car and the floor mats. That’s it.
… on the floor of my husband’s car? I shudder to think….

Mainly toys, empty chocolate milk cartons, a lot of gloves, babywipes, and quite possibly Jimmy Hoffa – it’s hard to tell underneath all the rubbish. The front seats are pretty clean though. I really should go clean it right now.
Also, I could really do with one of those lanyards – I keep forgetting to take mine off when I leave work so I run around with an ugly white one with my company logo on all day. It’s not pretty. And I could do with a pocket for the iphone my SO will get me for christmas if he knows what’s good for him (he probably doesn’t)
I just love reading your blog!!! You make me smile and laugh when I read it. OK, if you got in my car you would find dirt, and gravel. Now if you got into the truck, you would find tools, paper, wrappers or even water bottles or pop cans. That is our junkie go in the bush/camp vehicle. lol Thank you for the chance to win. It would make up for my not getting anything for my birthday.

Coats, travel mugs, water bottles, an LCD projector…

Hmm right now on the floor and backseat .. are my visor protector, booster seat .. found a book I been looking for under the seat .. and in the front seat .. nothing ..
I LOVE these camera straps I need a knew one and that cute lil wallet is the bizness .. perfect for traveling .. hmm
I found you from the Mommie Files list of giveaways (my 1st time on that list as I am giving away a church cookbook that features 3 of my recipes!) Anyhoo, you giveaway is the only one i entered as the others, well just wern’t snazzy like this! I will add you to my follows as you made me laugh. Thanks! My car, umm as anal as I am right this moment the floorboard has a diaper bag, 2 maybe 3 mags, lysol, and a few coats. NICE! Hope I win!
My turn? Hmmmm….front floorboards are where I keep the important stuff. Right now it’s the leader manuals for Girl Scouts cause I have a quick reflexive hand that shoots up on it’s own when volunteers are asked for. Back floorboards…books, pencils, more Girl Scout stuff, and probably enough food scraps to sustain our family through another hurricane!
I’m pretty sure you can find some cheerios from my daughter and about a million magazines and junk mail.
These are cute!
If you were to look in my car, on the floor you would find an umbrella…ella…ella, and I window scrapper, floor mats, and perhaps some spare change!!!
Thanks so much for this awesome chance to win!!!!!
Warm regards,
Candi

If you jumped into my car right now, you’d be coated in 3 nanoseconds in husky fur. Then once you wiped the fur from your glasses, you would see dirt from Nova Scotia that still hasn’t been vaccuumed out, and a variety of boy’s toys in the back seat.
A bunch of mapquest directions, I need to get a GPS!
If You looked on the floor of my car right now, you might fall over with shock–you see they are spanking clean, as in almost-brand-new clean. You see, my ds threw up in it last weekend and it stank to high heaven and the diy clean just couldn’t get out the nasty smell. Soooo, I coughed up the money to have it professionally cleaned. Funny, I take a pic of everything else but forgot to document that little life snippet. I wonder why. Anyway, a cover for my Canon Rebel strap would be just perfect!!
You would find empty sonic slushie cups from many trips through during happy hour and my children’s inability to pick up after themselves. And a myriad of Sunday School projects.
OMG, you would find so many crumbs from my kiddos AND you would find my mail that my hubby forgets to bring in. The nerve…lol. Thanks for this awesome chance!
The floor of my car has several Happy Meals toys, a sippy cup and a (clean, tahnk God) diaper. The hubs just cleaned it out not to long ago, so it’s pretty good right now.
I actually just cleaned out my car because I was too embarrassed for my friends to ride in it, so all that’s there now is a blanket for emergencies, my camera tripod, and a case of CDs!
Hopefully I’m not too late! You’d find a few goldfish (crackers) but not too much else since we just bought it (used) a few weeks ago! Haven’t had time to get it too messy!
Thanks for a chance to win.
ah my car– that thing we cleaned out a week ago, but with a toddler, goes back to looking just as it did before in a matter of seconds. I was actually looking for my drivers license in the car this morning because my husband (for some reason) had let my daughter play with it a few days ago… anyhow, I saw Halloween candy, a water bottle, a few beanie babies given to her by Papa as he packed his house to move, a jacket, an Old Navy credit card application my daughter took when we were buying $1 scarves yesterday, staled Cheerios… I am quite sure there are more things, I just don’t remember them all right now
Great giveaway!
Sadly, you’d find right now a lot of junk like wrappers and boogery kleenexes from my 2 wee ones runny noses…. probably a bottle of water and a plastic wrapper from a squishied cake type sweet I forgot I had in my pocket to give to my daughter as a snack (yes, I took it out and ate it the other night in the car…. hey, it was still in the wrapper, just a little squishied), some pamflet I got at the hospital that my daughter thought would make a nice book to colour in in the car. That’s probably about it… oh yeah, there’s a small Winniw the Pooh ball as well… gotta keep em entertained when the little one starts to cry.
My daughter’s socks. There are millions of them. And everyone thinks I’m a bad parent because she never has socks on. IT IS NOT MY FAULT! There’s also probably a spoiled bottled or two in there. Plus a squashed Wendy’s water cup from my kids. I’m too cheap to buy them a real drink.
The floor in my truck currently has several crushed leaves, various pieces of grass and tiny rocks and possibly a french fry or two!
Ohhh, wow! Thanks for doing this… I would love this! Any of those items would be cool to have and use. Umm, right now my car floor is lookin’ pretty good. Maybe a straw paper or two… caight me at a pretty clean time!
Just floor mats and 1 almond joy candy wrapper from my niece…my husband’s a neat one and keeps a tidy car.

I love this blog… On the floor of my car, you will find the suction cup thingie that holds our gps to the window, a blue and white soccer ball, a pair of dd’s socks (don’t ask), and a worn and tattered puppy stuffed animal…
If you looked in my car right now on the floor you’d find a yoga bag and a tennis bag. Not very exciting. But there is plenty of paper and junk in the console!
Let’s see… I was just in the car, so here’s a partial list: make-up bags, a paper plate, two mini raisin boxes, a wide-tooth comb and one piece of tupperware…with lid. The end.
sigh, there are too many things to list on my car floor, but you would definitely find my diaper bag, my son’s shoes, various wrappers/napkins/fast food bags/lost sucker sticks all helpfully deposited by my 3 year old, oh, and currently a ginormous projection screen that my husband used for the campaign school he organized this past weekend, which will only fit in my van and it will probably stay there until next weekend when we see the person who is the actual owner at church.
An empty coffee cup,magazines,ink pens,some wrappers,yeah its a mess
You would see a big stack of magazines and other junk there.
TIME’S UP!
Thanks guys! I’ll announce the winners tomorrow morning!
Simpsons rubber car mats LOL
Oh my gosh you will find empty starbucks cups, floor mats, and some loose change that spilled last week. Thanks for the chance. mogrill@comcast.net
