Each day this week, there will be a contest to win a prize OR a freebie each day on my blog!  Sign up for my newsletter in the sidebar <——- to stay informed about you did giggle a little…and so did I.

Ok, now…on to today’s excitement!  Today, I have a wonderful layout to share with you! My great friend (and CT Member), Laura, made this gorgeous piece of art with my Spotlight Word Art Freebie! The white frame around the photo, black tab, flat white cardboard, and large torn cardboard are from my Old Stuff Collection! Wow, she makes my designs look GOOOOD, doesn’t she?

Looking at this layout made me remember some of the family cars we had while I was growing up.  We had an old caramel colored two-door something or other, a station wagon, a few others that I vaugely remember.  I know that at one point there was an El Camino in our driveway, but I seem to remember that being a car that my dad was just driving for work for a while.  I’ll have to ask him tonight.

Either way, family vehicles seem to hold a special place in our hearts. In a comment here, tell me about a car your family had (or if you didn’t have a car, tell me another funny family memory).  What was special about it? What did you hate about it? What great trips did you take in it? 

By leaving a comment you will be entered to win a $5.00 coupon to my store.  Easy-peasy, right?  Make sure to comment by tonight (April 14, 2009) at 11:59 pm.  I’ll announce the winner tomorrow!

Oh, and in honor of those childhood family vehicles that took us on many interesting road trips, I’ve put my Travel and Road Trip Word Art Combo Pack on sale for just $2.00 today only!  Don’t forget – I’m having a 25% off sale all week in my shop!
