I realize it’s Saturday and I never post on Saturdays, but I’m thoroughly disappointed [I was supposed to leave for the beautiful land of Ireland on Tuesday to visit a very best friend/relative of mine, but my passport is somehow lost [read: vanished in thin air] in the post, so I’ll be canceling my trip and sulking for a few days until Higher Power decides to let me loose out of the country and the passport magically appears in my mailbox].
ANYWAY. I’ve always heard that if I’m blue, I should cheer someone else up and it will eventually return to me! So, I’m giving away 10 FREE COPIES of the March issue of Mankind Mag. Free. As in zero dollars for one heck of a download.
You know what to do— comment below to enter; winner(s) will be notified via email. You have 72 HOURS! GO!
[p.s. I feel better already!]

I’m sorry to hear about your trip. I’m sure that whenever you fly in to Europe you will bring us a little sun and a lot of magic :)
Have a good weekend, Erin!
saw your blog mentioned in “Lucky”…
I’ve been there and feel your pain. Lost my photo id before I was to take a flight – a big no go – but another adventure will surface and Ireland will wait for you. Jen
I hope your trip is only postponed, not canceled altogether :)
Many thanks for the giveaway!
i’m all in for the giveaway. and i sure hope your passport arrives soon!
oooh, that really stinks! Thanks for the giveaway though. I hope it helps!
Sorry to hear about your delayed travel plans – they’re the worst because you look forward to them so much. Please put us down for the giveaway. Happy to swap for some cool stuff in return… ’sif I have cool stuff that is….
looks like a great magazine!
I hope your passport comes really soon!
So sorry to hear your trip was delayed. Hopefully the passport will find it’s way to you soon.
Oh and enter me in the giveaway, that magazine looks interesting!
Oh! I’ve been curious about the magazine. So sorry about your passport. That happened to my birth certificate a couple years ago. It appeared in thin air (while a little tipsy) – so I recommend drinking a couple glasses of wine and trying again.
what a bummer about your trip. i feel your pain.
however, i’d love to win a copy of mankind, i love it!
Sorry to hear about your trip. Hope you get your passport soon!!
And I would love to win this giveaway :) to send some cheer back to you

I’d love to receive a copy – I think it’s a fabulous way to highlight artists…
I hope you feel better about the trip soon!
fingers on my left hand are crossed for the speedy arrival of your passport, fingers on my right for this giveaway!
PICK ME!! Hope your passport pops up!
Ugh! That is very kind of you to be so generous when you’re so disappointed. I hope your passport shows up pronto!
That sucks, not the give away but the no trip.
So sorry about the trip! But its so great that you have the right attitude about it and that you’re bringing joy into other people’s lives!
So sorry to hear about your loss…Hehe…It’s not funny at all but thank you for the give away. Hope it turns up soon! and Thanx!
Choo-choo-choose me!
I would like a magazine please! Hope you find your passport!
Aaaw that’s awful! But you’re very nice to do this giveaway, I’d love to win! And I’m from Ireland! :)
1. I would be MORTIFIED!!
2. giving does help…and we like it :)
3. Pick me!!!
4. hope your new passport comes soon so you can listen to people with fine Irish Brogue and enjoy a nice pint. (can you tell I want to go there badly)
5. (pick me)
Think about it… There’s no place like home :-)
Pour yourself a cup of your favorite tea… spoil yourself with some cookies… put on that great CD… Pamper yourself like you’ve never done before!!
You will find it. Check in the fridge next to the milk.
im sorry to hear about your trip. but you know things always happen for a reason, maybe it’s good luck you lost it. who knows. but i hope everything works out for you and i like the idea of giving something away to get something back!
Man, I would be so sad…I love Ireland!!! Hang in there…the green isle isn’t going anywhere :)
i’m sorry to hear about your trip. i hope all works out magically.
I waaaaaaaant :]
Sorry your trip has been postponed. I love Ireland, and one of the few stamps that are in my own passport.
Thank you for the giveaway offer. I’d love to be chosen.
There is something called emergence passport I think… a kind of temporary passport if you can’t find yours!? Maybe you’ve already canceled or made research for this but if not, it’s worth checking… get one at the airport or the authorities? good luck
Oh please please! I would love to win, and I am asking the universe to find your passport!
good luck with the passport! .. and please pick me! :D
Fate works in weird ways! Keep that in mind and then go spoil yourself, you deserve it, even if you can’t spoil yourself in Ireland quite yet!
Good luck with finding your passport! And my guess is that you WILL feel better when you give away those copies of the magazine. Especially if one comes my way :o)
I hope you can still go on your trip soon!
Free March issue of Mankind Mag?! Oh yes, please!
thank you!
Oooh, I’d love to win this giveaway!
Hello! I just heard about your blog when I was reading lucky. I don’t know too much about your blog yet but am going to explore it as soon as I finish writing this. I love that scarf that the girl is holding! I love to collect scarves….actually you just inspired me to take a picture of some scarfs I have collected on a recent trip to Japan! I hope you get your passport soon!
Pick me!!
No trip! That blows! Been there. Best to you!
Oh no! What a shame :( Why don’t you start planning another trip there- that would cheer you up?
Great Giveaway! Thanks so much
Continue to feel better!
i cross my fingers for your passport to show up, and me getting the magazine. have a nice weekend!
you will feel better if send it to someone in brasil (like me) ..where the dollar its 3 times our money and its hard to have a paypall account
=]
yes please!
It sucks that your trip was canceled!!!!
Hope you find something cool to do while your passport arrives…
The same happened to me before a trip to Belize, and as my mother always tells me – stop and do something totally different for a while and get your mind completely off the thing (i.e. passport) and then retrace your steps, eyes closed, and then slowly figure out where it is. You may have tried this already but just trying to help :)
I’d love to win your magazine! I’m 100% broke and turn to beautiful things to keep my spirits high!
Aw, what a bummer about the trip.
I look forward to reading the March issue though! :)
no ireland…so sad for you. Hope things look up.
I hope it all works out Erin!
thats so disappointing! i hope this does make u feel better
i would love to read this cool magazine for free.<3
Maybe there is a cosmic reason why you can’t find your passport? Maybe when you plan your trip the second time, it’ll be amazing!!
if everyone decided to do this when there down no one would ever be done… but then no one would need to do this… huh.
Pick me, pick me!! LOL
I hope your passport appears soon so you can wing your way over to Ireland asap :)
would looooove a copy!
good luck with your passport stuff. you made me nervous (because i’m flying to texas from holland tomorrow) so i ran and made sure i knew where mine was!
Sorry about your trip, love! Passports always manage to vanish when really needed.
Hope it turns up soon :D
I’m so sorry to hear about the passport!
eeek, forgot to download this, sorry!
that’s such an annoying turn of events for you – maybe there is something waiting there for you, that wouldn’t have been there this time, that was meant to be ?
Sending good thoughts your way so the trip situation can have a turn around. Yippee Mag Giveaways :)
erin!
I’m so sorry. I hope you find your passport soon.
so so so sorry.
xx~anisa
makool
ugh~! i hope you find your passport!!!
I’d love to win an issue of Mankind Mag, and I hope you find your passport soon!
What a bummer!
As my paypal account is being a jerk (much like your passport, I think), maybe this giveaway will make it behave. :)
A friend of mine lost her passport and we managed to get another one issued within 24 hours… I hope yours just appears but oyu can do something about it too.
passports suck in the first place, so a lost passport equals double sucky-ness! On the otherhand your magazine is so far from being sucky!! <3
I hate misplacing the passport. I always get that sick in my tummy feeling when I go to check for it in it’s special keeping place, thankfully it’s there. Hope you find it soon!
Ireland is a beautiful spot.
Gosh I hope I’m not late [I'd love to be a winner to make you feel even happier] … thanks also for the reminder about the passport – I need mine renewed as I’m off to see my nephew & family in 6mths but some of these things take way too long … hope you get too Ireland very soon – [haunt the postie] … OOroo … Bethel
Well, it looks like your sadness will be our happiness, it takes a strong person to make that happen.
abracadabra KABOOM!!! your passport will reappear soon. :)
would love to get your magazine!
My family is going to Ireland (hopefully) the end of April, but we have no idea where to go or what to do — if you can give some hints or tips, while you are sulking or after you return – crossing my fingers you still get to go – I’d love to have some. Thanks!
Oooh, and the giveaway sounds great.
Hope your passport turn up very soon!
I would love to win this Magazine.
Have a beautiful weekend from sunny UK.
Wonderful way to start Sundays!!! :) Thank you!!!
Ohhh count me in!
Hope you find your passport!!
I hope your passport turns up soon. :-(
Please count me in – such a great giveaway!
Another awesome giveaway! Thank you!
That sucks, hope you get your passport back soon! :)
Remember everything happens for a reason…sometimes we just don’t know why until years later. ;) Keep a smile on. I would love to win that mag! I have never read it and want to check it out! Happy Sunday! xo
Bree
I love the joy of getting something you think it’s lost, then it reappears!
There’s this pair of earrings, I lost several time that it just fell of from my ear, everytime, it land in my purse, my pocket, someone spot it….I feel a special connection to this pair of earrings.
Thank you for the giveaway and a happy trip to Ireland.
Awww I’m so sorry for your passport :(
But that is a very great idea about making someone else happy when you’re blue! So simple, yet, had to think about it! :)
That just stinks! I hope you get the passport and can reschedule. Would love to see the mankind mag.
thankfully, i’m pretty sure ireland isn’t going anywhere (though i’m no expert). i guess that means you have something in common, what with you not going anywhere either! no, i’m not sure how that’s supposed to make you feel better about it. :S
I hope that you find your passport soon and can go to Ireland. I have always wanted to go there…great giveaway, too! I would love a copy of mankind magazine.
Well I’ll gladly make you happy by being willing to receive the mag. The ppt will arrive for you to take a trip when the time is Just Right for you!
yes please
sorry about your trip. you’ll get there I am sure. I would love to win you giveaway!
Oh dear! That’s real bad news alright, but I hope you do find your passport. In my experience, sometimes things just come out when you don’t look for them :D Good luck with the passport!
PS: I hope I’m still eligible for the giveaway!:D
This makes you an awesome person. Thanks!
Oh boy, that’s a bitter sweet giveaway. Sorry your trip got delayed, but thanks for the freebie!
sad, sad, sad. I once missed out on a FREE trip to France because my passport didn’t make it to me in the mail, so I sympathize FULLY. Wishing you the luck of the Irish — shillelaghies and all!
oh please pick me!
I would love to receive this from you. To be honest I haven’t yet downloaded an issue and this would be such a nice way to start seeing what you are doing with this project.
cheers! emily august
I hope things improve soon!
i had the same thing happen to me before! hope it works out better for you!
In times like yours, I choose to believe things happen for a reason. Wishing you good things to come!
I would so love a copy! Hope you find your passport–it reminds me to make sure mine’s up to date before I attempt a trip to Iceland this summer!
everything happens for a reason.
this might be happened prevent something even worse from happening.
but anyway, i wish your trip can take place reeeal soon and have a blast!
Lost items are unfortunate.
i hope your passport appears soon!
Instead of doing sewing I had planned to do for weeks this weekend, I helped a friend in need do the sewing for a hen party she is organising. Maybe this will be my little reward.
good luck with your passport… in the mean time… pick me pick me! :D
fingers crossed, double.
I have unfortunately never downloaded this magazine yet, so perhaps this could be my chance to become addicted?…
Gotta believe there is some reason this has happened just THIS way and that you’re making room in your life for something different and wonderful.
The idea of making someone else happy is a fantastic trick and I sure hope I’m one of the “someone”s!
ooohh
This is my first blog comment:) You’ll find your passport when your no longer looking for it. Maybe it wasn’t meant for you to leave just yet. Something good is coming your way and now you’ll be here to get it.
Live Life Love,
Lana

And sure I want to win, can’t wait to see and read all that beautifulliness!
Baai
Would love to have a read. Sorry about your trip. Although, I think I can top that… at the airport, Christmas, 1 hour to flight and no visas… had to purchase 4 tickets (the whole family) on another airline who would process visas for us… whew… we still made it but boy did I feel %*! But, no worries. Life is good. Best to you.
I’m sure everything will work out. And I’d love to receive the magazine!
Ooo, Ireland would be so fun! Hope it works out!
I’ve never read your magazine!
it’s always for a reason
it will make sense
hand it over
don’t lie down
have a cuppa
with a sticky bun
and a good read
If I win I’ll do the same!
Good luck with the passport, Erin!
sending luck your way! :)
just came across the blog..love it! Would love to check out the mag too
Best wishes and everything happens for a reason!
they say lost things are within 10m of where they SHOULD be. so search very well those 10 meters!!! good luck!
i lose my passport EVERY TIME. its part of my travelling process.
i would love to win. if only to see the bottom of the cover girl’s face.
I would Love a copy!
& good luck on the passport mysteriously re-appearing.
Bummer about the passport – though that reminds me to check my own as I’m going on a trip in a few weeks. I would much rather be going to Ireland, though. And I came here from Modish all ready to buy a copy, but I can’t not enter for a free one!
me me me!
pleasepickmepleasepickme

thanks in advance!:D
You probably won’t see this but I am waiting for my passport, too and it is freaking weird not to be able to get loads of things organized without it…. It’ll arrive!

Serendipity is working its magic. trust in all is well Erin.

eva : )
man i hate losing anything.
i really hope it turns up. because i know how annoying it is to redo a passport.
i dont have paypal. but i’ve loved the free issues of the mag.
i really hope that you see this comment.
and decide to make my day.
i’ve been waiting for the day i get paypal so i can get this mag
it is very similar to a magazine we have in Australia called Frankie ( my favourite magazine)
so i would really like to read your magazine :)
sten.<3
eep! bummer about the lost passport. but thanks for the giveaway! :D
Oh, that’s the worst! Hope you find your missing passport soon. The frustration of searching for something that you know can’t be far is enough to drive you a little crazy. Hold on to your sanity and breathe!

i’d love to win the free mag since i don’t have paypal!
I hope your passport comes sooon!
