Stalking in a good way!

The other day, I got an email from Mamarazzi informing me that I had won one of her monthly drawings for simply following her blog! Apparently, she chooses a winner each month at random from her followers to send some love in the form of goodies!

Wow, who knew stalking could have its benefits! I do admit I follow over 80 blogs. That doesn't mean I read all 80 every single day (since not everyone posts daily), but I try to keep up with my favorites as often as I can. I also comment as often as I can, especially since I love to get comments myself!

Often many of these blogs I have stumbled upon from reading others' blogs and have also had comments from new readers saying they found me via someone else's blog. How wonderful is that....meeting new friends you never would have known had it not been for some random posts about life/love/and very often kids!

So, now that I have rambled...here is what I got in the mail TODAY!
Went out to the mail today and found this pretty surprise!

All the goodies

A "Fishful Thinking" tote, notepad, pen, bookmark, and brochures. Mamarazzi is an ambassador for Fishful Thinking.com which is a wonderful tool for building positive thinking and learning in our children. Haven't checked it out? You should!!!


A CD mix of Mamarazzi's favorite tunes...can't wait to hear it!

and a very sweet note from Mamarazzi herself, thanking me for following her!

It can't get any better than that! So, if you read this and thought how great that would be to get a goodie bag just for stalking (ahem...following) someone, then you are in luck. I decided to pay it forward. I will send a little something to one of my followers. If you are already following me....I truly appreciate your loyalty. If you aren't, click on the sidebar to the right (under "Want Dessert?") to follow me! I will randomly choose one of my follower on Wednesday, June 10th at 10:00am CST! So, join the party and come have a daily helping of my "pie and ice cream moments". Get it, "Want Dessert?"..."Pie and Ice Cream"...ok, I may just be cracking myself up!

Thanks again, for your random act of kindness, Mamarazzi! I love your blog and will continue to visit your Dandelion Wishes!

I've had you in my blogroll and been reading and commenting for quite a while but for some reason I had never signed up to follow you. Don't know how I missed it.

That is so much fun to get a package in the mail! I am a blog stalker too. I really need to sleep!!

What a lovely thing to receive and to pay it forward too :)

BTW when you do your draw don't put my name in as International postage is huge, give everyone else more of a chance!

I think of all the things in the goody bag, I would like the Favorite playlist CD. I am a sucker for old songs. Oh, and I AM following you now!!!!

This Fishful Thinking campaign is adorable! I first learned about this Fish Philosophy at a conference for work many moons ago. This campaign with the PF Goldfish is much cuter than the original Seatle Flying Fish stories that I heard! The Fish Philosophy is inspiring! Very nice of you to pay it forward. Very Fish-like! ;) Happy day to you!
