100th Post Giveaway!!!!

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Welcome to my 100th post giveaway! It's super hard for me to believe that I've actually made it this far...that I've actually stuck with something for a change! Ha! Yes, I'm the person who starts a project like cross-stitching, knitting or reading a book with such incredible passion! Then all of a sudden, I realize that I haven't looked at said projects for days, weeks or even years. So, getting to my 100th blog post (in 4 months) is definitely an accomplishment for me.

I've written about special times that our family shares, Little Man's development, many different emotions and memories, lessons that I have learned/or am learning, deals & savings, yardsale/thrifting adventures and my house where the decorating is evolving!

I have "met" so many wonderful people through the blogosphere. I have found a community of women who inspire me, challenge me and encourage me. I love that blogging is part of my life now. I am thankful for my life. I am truly happy only because of God's grace.

So, if you're here at my blog for the very first time...an extra special welcome to you!! I'm glad you're here and I hope you will be blessed by your visit and that you will come back very soon!

You can click HERE to read my very first post, which is my philosophy of life in a nutshell!

On a lighter note, you can read "100 Crazy, Random Facts About Me" HERE.
In celebration of this blogging milestone, I'm giving away three incredibly wonderful items!!! If I could enter and win them, I would, but I'm going to covet, covet, covet, be so happy for whoever wins them!

>Prize 1: Chic Sisters Apron by Marie-Madeline Studio!

~The Long ladies at Marie-Madeline Studio are showing amazing generosity in assisting me with this giveaway. They sent me my very own beautiful apron!! Woohoo! I'm SO excited because I've entered apron giveaways before and I never win a thing! The apron fabrics (which I chose!)are lushious, soft and washable. The Long ladies are fabulous and talented seamstresses! I'm impressed even by the beautiful seams. Anyway, here are a couple pictures of me wearing my gorgeous apron.




~And here are a couple of the wonderful apron that Marie-Madeline Studio is giving away to one of my amazing readers!


~Be sure you visit Marie-Madeline Studio's Etsy Shop & Website.

>Prize 2: Refrigerator Magnets by Lily Pottery (set of 3)



~I have always admired Lily's work. She and I were in college together and I've always been impressed with her creativity and the amazing gift that she has to work with clay! Lily used stamps and colored underglazes to make these sweet magnets.

~You can visit Lily's Etsy shop HERE or her blog HERE!

>Prize 3: Earrings by Edith and Lulu


~These earrings are made with pretty white flower buttons stitched with green silk cord and finished with antiqued copper leaf details and wire. Aren't these adorable?!

~You can visit Edith and Lulu's Etsy shop HERE!
