Since landing here in Seattle life has been even more hectic than when I was spinning in circles on Maui. I've contemplating setting the scene for you all, but I can't escape sounding like a Debbie Downer.  Instead of updating you all on my less than perfect life right now, how about spot lighting some very fabulous giveaways?
