Giveaway: Merci Chocolates Joy Of Thank You Red Carpet Kit

The Oscar’s are coming up this weekend and like many people I will be glued to the television. I don’t really care who wins the awards but I’m interested in what the celebrities will be wearing and all the celebrity gossip!

I must admit that I also am interested in seeing which celebrities can actually deliver a decent thank you speech. Most the time they seem to deliver pretty much the same speech but once in awhile you will get a speech that is spoken from the heart and really conveys a message of gratitude.

I often wonder what I would say if I were to receive an award like and Oscar.

I would like to think I would speak from the heart but I would most likely bring that little piece of paper reminding me of who I want to thank. I’m pretty sure that in the moment of winning a big award I would forget my own name needless to say all those that helped me along the way!

My thank you would go something like this:

I can’t believe I won this award and I have so many people to thank who helped me along the way. My parents and grandma for raising me to be a strong woman, my coach for teaching me that I can do anything with some hard work, my sisters for pushing me to do what I really wanted to do and providing me with unconditional love. And I would like to thank my husband for loving me and being by my side through the good and the bad, Love you very much – Thank you for everything!

What would you say in your thank you speech if you won a big award?

I was so excited to receive a Merci Chocolates Joy Of Thank You package to enjoy during the upcoming oscars!

The kit included:

  • A box of Merci Chocolates
  • Four elegant champagne flutes
  • Festive popcorn container
  • A list of tips to help you share meaningful thank yous and toasts

The popcorn box will be great to use while watching all the movies the winners starred in and the flutes will be used during the oscars to sip some delicious champagne to help celebrate with the winners!

The Merci Chocolates come in a great looking box that I just couldn’t wait to break open.

This was my first box of Merci Chocolates!

I was impressed to see 20 individually wrapped pieces of fine chocolate with flavors like Cream Truffle, Hazelnut-Almond, Praline-Creme and Dark Cream.

Both my husband and I have really been enjoying these chocolates! They taste amazing and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. YUM!!!!

Want the good news!

Valentines Day Gift: Kids

I don’t remember a lot about my childhood but I do remember a couple special moments.

One of these moments was when I came home from school, one valentines day, and my mom gave me an Annie mug filled with my favorite candy. That simple gift holds a special place in my heart to this day!

Let’s not forget the kids on Valentines Day!

Here are a couple ideas:

Let’s Get Organized

I so wish I was one of those super organized individuals.

You know the people that think getting all of their stuff organized is fun and can’t understand why everyone in the world doesn’t feel this way.

I’m actually at the opposite end of the spectrum of an organized person. Everything from my home to my bag is a disorganized mess.

Now, I’m never going to be one of those people that stay in on a Saturday night to organize stuff but I would like to have a little bit of structure in my life.

This, let’s call it, “Tracey Gets Organized” project will not be done in a couple weeks or even a couple months. This project will take me at least a years worth of time if not more.

I wish I could get this goal done by tomorrow but that’s just not going to happen. What can I say – I work full time, I’m a wife, friend and animal owner. Organizing comes after a list of other more important things in my life.

I will make sure to keep everyone updated on my progress. Should be interesting ;)

*Check back for my first organizing post in regards to my work bag.
