Stalkers (and Friends) Come Out Come Out Wherever You Are

I'm going to give away something to people. I am a blog stalker. I hate leaving comments. It has to be something really big for me to leave a comment. I guess I never have anything great to say. I check blogs daily. Google reader makes it so convenient. I check my email, then my friends blogs, family, sewing, cooking, SAA, rhett's friends, and I have a category on there titled "Stalker List".
So there you have it. I think most people blog stalk, but to reward those that stalk this blog.

1. I won't think anything of it. I won't think you're creepy, or question why you're looking at my blog, think how random are you, etc. I stalk, I know you stalk. So enter to win something like a normal person.
2. I think I'll let the winner choose what they want within reason. I'll make it for them. Here's a bunch of things I've made, to give you ideas of what you could choose/ design:



A lot of stuff for kids. But what if you don't have kids, don't want kids, and don't know kids?
Maybe this stuff:
If you're not a girl, or if you just don't want some handmade crafty junk:
Everyone likes cookies and I could air pack and ship them.
But if you look at this blog and none of this is appealing, then I'm sorry...maybe I have a book or something you might want? A pack of gum?
3. RULES: Leave a comment. It doesn't have to say anything, because I hate leaving comments myself. Maybe type something: jkljkj-- gibberish at least. For extra points, you could say how you found this, through which friend of yours you stalk, that might be interesting, but not required. Maybe I'll have a bonus gift for the person that I think has the most random stalk chain to have found me.
**But I guess if you have a private blog I can't send a comment back to say you won, so you'll have to leave your email address. Or stalk back to see if you win because I'll post it on here if I can't get a hold of the winner.
That's all. I guess with these things I have random.org pick a winner. The lucky winner can then choose whatever they want from my etsy store stuff or anything from my project blog or whatever. It doesn't have to be these things, these are just ideas. We'll work out all the details of your colors, cookies, project, etc. That part will be fun. Then I'll ship it to you. Because lets face it, we don't actually want to see the people from high school or friends of friends that we stalk. That's why we stalk so we can keep in touch without communicating at all right? So you won't have to see me, don't worry. And if we're friends, not many of you live near enough to see me anyway.

Because I kind of expect to know most people, according to statcounter.com I don't have many people look at this thing, and most I recognize anyway. So let it begin. I don't know how long to have this go though....I'll have to get back with you on that.

LOL! Ok, I do stalk your blog and your craft blog...it's just too good not to!

Ryan + Jess said...

I only wish I had an ounce of the craftiness you have. I love every single one of your projects. And I stalk you...but we're friends, so is it really stalking? Hmmm..

jayne said...

Ummm, I want to win. But how the heck am I supposed to choose just one of the things you make. You are too talented.

rebecca said...

Amber said...

I love to stalk your blog. You write the funniest stories, it just makes me laugh. I loved the pictures of RJ that you had taken by the Blackbird lady, that I am getting Carter's pictures taken by her later next month. That is how much of a stalker I am, almost scary... Anyways, I have always wanted one of your signs to go about our bed, so I might have to get one from you now that we are living closer.

Natalie said...

I am a stalkstar like a rockstar and with these keys I type "pick me please" hahaha do you have a category for the lamest rhyme? :-)

Me (Nancy) said...

Yeah! I read your blog. :)

Kassie said...

Jess,
You know I read your blog (and now your husband's) because unlike most people, I always have something to say.

Before we lost 'internet privledges' at AVH, I read your blog aloud to the pit soo at about 10 more comments.

besides, I deserve a free awesome cape just for letting my daughter continue to believe that she had seen you and Rhetts butts, right? i hope she doesn't say anything embarrasing about that at graduation or the next time I see you.

Marianne said...

Ha ha ha ha! I don't think I can take all the credit for the "lunch" idea, I think Melody, Emily, and Jill were also instrumental in the metaphor:)

The Wilkins' said...

technically I'm not a stalker...but what a fun idea to see who's reading your blog. I'd be afriad no one was reading mine.

Katherine said...

Jess, I love all your stuff. I think I found your blog through Ashley or Jill at the end of your first year in the 'ville before we started hanging out. You cracked me up with one of your hilarious stories and I thought, I have to get to know her! Actually it's your blog that has made me laugh louder than anyone else's, I think.

***** said...

I might be toooo late. I don't stalk you enough I guess. SO, if I don't win, I want to order. My little Sunflower started pre-school and her backpack is not cute enough. I keep forgetting it and I think that is because I don't love it. She needs a butterfly backpack made by you! Please send me a bill (crlygrls@yahoo) and I'll send you some mula! You are amazing! Love you tons!

Stephanie Kelly said...

you know it!! I stalk! love you!

Jolyn said...

Whew I am glad I did not miss out on this baby! I love your craft blog, and all your stories make me laugh so hard! I wish I had your sense of humor:)
I hate leaving comments, so yes I considered myself a blog stalker. But hey I will leave a comment to get a piece of your craftiness!

Sheila said...

Love all your stuff. What a fun idea. Hope you find lots of stalkers you've never heard of beford.

Rebecca S said...

So, I've been feeling pretty bad about swearing on your blog. I was just trying to emphasize how I felt about not really qualifying as a stalker, and therefore probably not winning. Anyway - can you just delete my inappropriate word?

Rebecca S said...

nevermind...I figured out how to do it myself ;)

John, Jess, Ellie, Cade, Eden & Scarlett said...

I guess I'm not a technical 'stalker', since I've left comments before, but I'd still love to win!

~Sarah said...

I am definitely a stalker...haha! You're hilarious to read! Plus, then I get updates on you, RJ, and Rhett. Gotta do it.

Unknown said...
