Sweet Petula needs 10 product testers to help us with some new item additions. Family and friends encouraged to apply. It works like this;

1. Add your name to this post

2. For this project I will only be shipping to US Residents. So make sure you live in the US.

3. Send your mailing address to cory(at)sweetpetula(dot)com.

4. Let me know if you are interested in testing people and pet products, just people products, or just pet products. I do need people interested in both.

5. Wait for a package of samples to arrive.

6. Try out samples. Taking note of your likes, dislikes, thoughts, etc.

7. Send me your feedback via email. There will be a handy dandy form to fill out with some basic questions as well as a spot for you to write other comments.

8. The end. Wasn't that easy?

happy birthday times.

Yesterday was my birthday and I was showered with love and presents. It was glorious. My apartment is filled with flowers from people...bouquets of pink peonies (my favorites), and 36 pink roses...one for each of my years! The place smells divine.

Rachel got me this. Something I have ALWAYS wanted.....and I will spend the next 4 months figuring out how to recreate this outfit for Tom B's birthday.

Two of the rosebuds fell off of my bouquet of 3 dozen roses...I think that means I'm still 34. The best part of yesterday was the two amazing meals I had. Lunch at the Boat Street Cafe with Lisa M....who I figured out yesterday I have known for 1/2 of my life. I worked for Lisa at Capers when I was 18. She introduced me to Martha Stewart and fancy Gift Wrap.

My oldest friend (she's not old...I've just known her forever), Jean H. made me the best birthday cake ever. It is pure chocolate decadence. Made with the BEST chocolate.

Then it was off to dinner at the 35th Street Bistro, where I dined with 4 fabulous *skinny women whom I love. It was a good day. Happy Birthday to me.

Happy 1st Day of Summer!

artwork by Groundwork artist Danna Ray (her entire family is artists, check our her site...very interesting)

Summer is definitely here. The air in Madison Valley smells amazing today. Someone just cut their grass, there is a delicate flowery thing blooming behind our building and Essential Baking company is baking something delicious. It is all intermingling in a nice light breeze for the most perfect "first day of summer perfume".

Happy Summer everyone!

I won the Lottery!

well, not really.....but Qwest decided to credit my phone bill $454.87. And that's sort of like winning the lottery right?

You see, some jack-ass (called GlobalYP?), had hijacked my account last May and has been charging me $34.99 a month...for 13 months. I just realized this today and the nice Qwest lady took off the charges...just like that.....la tee da.

So this is my ringing endorsement for Qwest. What large company does that? Just takes off $454? It's so.....human. I heart Qwest. And my $454.87.

Slightly "Unsightly" Soap Seconds

soap seconds alert....we have them! Check out the on-line shop. Currently there are Ginger Blossom, Provence, Sweet P., Ruby Grapefruit & Good Clean Dog shampoo bars. At $3.00 a bar, they are a super bargain...all wrapped up in a pretty little package....just for you.

Father's Day Winner!

(meet the winner of our Father's Day Bay Rum Giveaway! The following was completely poached from the winner's blog)

D A D
...drinks coke out of a wine glass.
...thinks potato chips count as a vegetable.
...doesn't believe in oven mitts or pre-heating the oven.
...makes a really mean breakfast (without using the oven).
...will try to order a milkshake from the flight attendants when flying.
...once shook a piece of cantaloupe at me and my sisters and said, "remember, you can't elope!".
...has perfected a piked deltoid gorbetchov with a double twist.
....has never gone above 60 mph on the freeway (it's the limit).
...still sometimes refers to twenty-five cents as "two bits".
...is rilly silly. Happy father's day!

p.s. I do know the winner of this entry, and just fyi...I did not do the picking for the grand prize giveaway. My method of choosing a winner (very scientific), was to call Sarah at the store, ask her to pick a number between 1 and 13 (there were thirteen entries), and she picked 12. She had no idea who or what the number was in relation to. I'm really not picking favorites!
