ME Monday is back!

Welcome, again to Mary Engelbreit Monday. Please join us and post the link to your blog with the related Mary Engelbreit pictures to share with everyone. It can be a ME licensed product or something that was "inspired" by Mary Engelbreit's artwork. It "should" be a photo that you took of something that you own. We're flexible here....let's have fun above all else.

If your recall, back in early October I had a wonderful opportunity to spend $35 of CSN Store's money in one of their 200+ online stores. I've already shared with you the "oh so cute" cherry flip flops that I found there but I never got around to showing you the other item that I got for "FREE".
Since I took possession of my 3rd set of Cherry dishware I had no place to really put it. I had one plate rack already but it wasn't large enough to hold the ME "Cherries" set of dishes that I "stole for $40" from my friend Christina.


Old Plate Rack



Now all of the "Cherries" set of plates & bowls fit on the "Ten Strawberry Street Black Round Triple Tiered Plate Stand" that was $14.99 when I ordered it. But now I see that it has gone up to $17.99

I would say that I had a Good experience shopping online with the CSNstores.com. The cherry flip flops came right away and I love them. The plate rack took a little while to get here but it was in perfect condition especially since they packed it with a million little cardboard "peanut" thingies that I feel I should recycle some how.

The one thing that I feel needs improvement is their search capabilities on their websites. It's really not very user friendly and I think it could use some tweaks so that searches can be more specific within categories. But hey....I managed to find a couple of things that I wanted so it can't be too bad. I am grateful for their generosity and thank them for giving me the opportunity to check out their stores.

Once you've posted your picture come back and add your link in Mr. Linky below. Please share the link back to my blog so that everyone can take part in sharing their post and picture.

An "Opportunity With CSN Stores".....

I'm sure you've seen it before...a CSN Gift Card Giveaway. Well, I received an email back on September 23rd from Caitlin E. on behalf of CSNPromoTeam offering up a $35 gift card or an opportunity for me to do a review of their products. She goes on to flatter me by writing that they are "seeking out high quality websites and blogs"...who me? "We love the look and feel of your blog"...oh..must be a form letter. ;-)
Anywho, I was in one of those "It's all about me moods" so I've decided to "review" a couple of the items that can be purchased from their 200+ online stores. Seriously, it has taken me forever to look through the bazillion things that you can purchase from them. They've got everything from coffee tables to Cherry Flip Flops. Yes, you read it right! They have coffee tables!

 So I'll be putting in my order for a couple of their items soon and then I'll let you know what I think after they arrive.

But just so you don't think it's always "all about me" I'm offering up a little Giveaway, too. Did you see the "fancy intense pink" 24.78 carat Pink Diamond that is being sold by an unidentified private collector at Sotheby's next month? They're expecting it to fetch up to $38 million dollars.

Well, that's not what I'm giving away. I was just wondering if you saw how beautiful it is. I've already forwarded the Yahoo! story to the BF. Hint..Hint.
But what I am giving away is this cute little trio of Mary Engelbeit matching items.Ta-Da! Friends are the Flowers in the Garden of Life

All you need to do to enter the Giveaway is leave me a comment on this post and tell me if you seriously thought I was giving away a 24.78 carat Pink Diamond. As if...lol!
I will do a random drawing in the evening on Monday, Oct. 11th, and announce the winner then.
