If you know anything about me, you know that I’m surrounded by incredible women. Wicked cool incredible women.
Women who know how to make stupid look cool.
It’s a gift.
Between my female family members, friends and neighbors…I am one lucky duck, people.
While all 4 of us Douglas girls gained a hefty strand of creativity in our DNA, my older sister totally boggles my brain. From the way she decorates cupcakes and assembles mixed-media canvases for her girl’s walls, to the way she created a living roof on her chicken coop, and inserted pretty glass marbles into the wooden rails on her deck.
She is just ridiculously talented.
And I’m not just saying this because she’s my sister…every time I Instagram something she’s created, my phone blows up with ‘ooohs!’, ‘aaaahs!’, and accolades…and I simply bask in the glory of being related to her.
It’s hard work, but somebody’s got to do it.
She paints, she builds, she cooks, she bakes, she decorates, she sews, she grows, she assembles.
And despite the fact that, as kids, she jammed my big toe up the bath tap and turned the hot water on, and fed me dead flies disguised as raisins, she is one of the most generous human beings I know.
She also happens to tell the funniest stories that will spontaneously cause hot coffee to spew from your nostrils. No joke.
Yeah, folks, there’s no denying the fact that my big sister will rock your socks right off your sweet feet.
After much sisterly cajoling, she decided to start an Etsy store. It’s called Pumpkin and Parsnip, and you should visit it. And like it. And tell her how fabulous she is. And then buy things {no “raisins”} so she can add more cool stuff to her store.
**But here’s the super cool part: she’s giving away *$20 of shopping credit* to one you lovely people…and all you have to do to enter is:
1. hop on 1 foot for 3 minutes
2. sing the hallelujah chorus backwards
3. sneeze without blinking
4. ‘like’ Pumpkin & Parsnip on facebook <—–
5. and then tell me (on facebook <—click right there) which item(s) you would choose if YOU won.
Easy, right? And just because it’s Thursday and I’m feeling sassy, I’ll knock off the first three requirements for you.
You’re welcome.
So, go pick yourself some Mother’s Day booty and show my sister a little love…
