'Fess Up Friday

They are few and far between, but I have a photo challenge for you.

While cleaning out my bathroom drawers, I ran across a bajillion lipsticks. Really. That many.

See?

Let's pause to admire the harvest gold bathroom. And the chocolate smudge on my coffee cup.

Reese's eggs will be the death of me.

So, I'm curious. Is this weird? It has to be bad, being a waste of money and all. How could I possibly need a dozen lipsticks? And sadly, not a one of them is the "perfect" shade.

And I must know...am I alone? Do you have odd collections of random things, particularly in your hunt for "the perfect one"?

It would make me feel better to see piles of lipsticks, but if you have something else that meets the criteria, those will count as well. Books don't count. We'll have a 'fess Up Friday for books....eventually. But I think I'll win. And the prize will be a book.

This time, I'm giving two choices for the prize. In the comment section, share a picture of your pile of stuff and if yours wins, you can choose between this adorable crimson clutch or 3 downloadable games from Integritas Academy. Both companies are owned by very awesome people. You can't make a bad choice here.

Game runs until Monday night.

And the winner is....

This was hard. This was very hard. After much deliberation, Judge Sweetcheeks narrowed it down to Becca and Jennifer. The difficulty arose with the lack of groundrules for the game. The only requirements mentioned were grungy/scary. Did that mean dirty? Did that mean strange? I don't know what I meant! I was just goofin' around!

So, Becca's bathroom was awesome. It instantly took me back to my girlhood days of peaking at people's cabinets when I went to use their bathrooms. Ah, the makeup, the hairstuff, the FUN! And a whole counter just for girly stuff! Heaven for my little girl heart. The dustbunnies that identically matched mine.

Yes, mine. You read correctly. Andie asked if I fix my stuff up before taking pictures and the answer is yes and no. Never before. I know it shouldn't be possible to surprise one's self, but I 've managed to do it. Previously, I just saw something nasty and grabbed the camera thinking "Ooh, this is disgusting! Let's share it with the WORLD!" But this time, I had a little warning. I usually pick up my bathroom a bit while my girls take their evening baths, so it shouldn't be too terrible. But it manages to accumulate anyway. I just gave it an extra-good clean-up Thursday night.

Back to our contestants....Becca's had the grunge, while Jen had the scary. Basically clean, but oh, so scary. I cannot imagine being constipated in that room. Oh, the pressure!

Chris finally decided and went with......Jen! The kicker for him was the laundry beside the laundry basket. That is exactly how it goes in our house, too. My personal favorite part of the entire bathroom is the green/copper vase on the counter. In the midst of everything, someone took a moment to think "You know what this room needs? A nice vase." (pronounced 'vawz' of course - lol.)

Enjoy your soap, Jen! You are welcome to come borrow my tub to relax and enjoy it :)
