Wrapping Up the Celtic Theme
A Contest and a Video
Following on from my update last Monday on the Kilmore Celtic Festival, I came across the video below. It seems a fitting conclusion to my Celtic week.
But first a gift wrapping contest
Yes, you read that right.
Many scrapbookers extend their love for all things paper and decorative and they really go to town when wrapping up gifts. I must confess, I’m not one of these folk. Gift wrapping is a little too ephemeral for me. I like the things I create to last just a tad longer.
However I’ll be the first to admit that a beautifully wrapped present is a wonderful thing to receive.
And Scotch (the sticky tape people, not the alcoholic beverage people) have come out with a contest for all you gift wrapping enthusiasts where you can win $10,000!
To enter, describe in 100 words or less why you or someone you know has what it takes – whether it’s a vast amount of gift-wrapping experience or endless creativity – to be crowned the “Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper” for 2009. The person who nominates the grand-prize winner will also receive $1,000 for his/her winning recommendation. Be sure to also include the following:
- Your name, home address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number, fax number and e-mail address (if available).
- Nominee’s name, home address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number, fax number and e-mail address (if available).
- Whether the nominee is entering as a professional or amateur. Note that anyone who is currently or has previously earned income as a gift wrapper at a department store, specialty store, etc. is considered a professional.
Entries must be received no later than October 5, 2009 and can be submitted by mail, fax or e-mail to: Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper Contest, c/o Hunter Public Relations, 41 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10010; fax: (212) 679-6607; e-mail: giftedwrapper@hunterpr.com.
Eight winners will receive a 3-day all-expenses paid trip to New York City where they’ll compete in the practical leg of the competition in a Grand Wrap-Off between the final eight contestants to determine the winner of the contest and the $10,000 prize.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, pop an email off to them or visit http://www.scotchbrand.com/ for a complete set of contest rules.
And now to the video
Many of you will recall the popularity of Riverdance in the 90s. They were a brilliant Irish Dancing Company who toured the World leaving us awed and amazed as they step danced, tapped and high-kicked across the stage. If anyone had a little bit of Irish in them, Riverdance woke it up and really brought it out.
The most well known dancer from the Company was Michael Flately who went on to form his own company called Lord of the Dance.
Well, (drum fanfare) Scraps of Mind is pleased and proud to bring you:
The New Lord of the Dance:
This is very funny
Stumble it!
