unveiling the gmboa

Yesterday Bean and I made a very important delivery. She stayed in the car while I bestowed the goods on one excited Wandering Nana.

Presenting THE GOLDEN MINION BOX OF AWESOMENESS.

You want to win this box. I know you do. And you're going to have your chance to win the box from Wandering Nana when she holds a contest in the next few weeks. To help you follow the box I've introduced a new page here at The Creamery (see over there to the top right) AND I'll have an icon in the sidebar soon. As the box moves from Minion to Minion, I'll update the links.

Now. Some details, yes?

I mentioned way back when that there would be some rules that would follow the GMBOA. At long last, THE RULES.

. Each recipient of the box needs to add some decoration to it. Anything goes, as long as you don't affect the strength or integrity of the box.

. Only a MINION can win the box. To be a Minion, you need to be a follower here at The Creamery.

. The box can be filled with whatever you want to fill it with for a prize BUT it needs to include two things: some kind of action figure (however loosely you'd like to translate that) and a little miniature bottle/container. It's this THING with me, and I figured the box should have it too (thanks for the idea, WN!).

. In order for the box to keep moving, you need to hold a contest to send the box onto it's new recipient within three weeks of receiving it.

Now that I've filled you guys in on ALL the gory details, let's look at that pretty box again:

Soooooooo pretty.

Now. It's not like we're going to spend all day talking about the GMBOA today. So instead, let's talk about movies. One of which I'm hoping to persuade my husband to escort me to on Saturday evening. Anyone have a hearty recommendation? I'm thinking of Alice in Wonderland, for so many obvious reasons. But I'm willing to entertain other suggestions if you can make a really good argument. Let's hear it.

(Oh, and on Monday I have the BEST story to tell you about what happened after I delivered the box to Wandering Nana. She, Bean, and I went on a hair-raising adventure to the farthest reaches of the south Seattle shipyards. Dude. I... just... well. You'll have to wait until Monday.)
