100th Post Giveaway!!

Comments are now closed. I will post winners later tonight.

Wow, I cannot believe I've made it to my 100th post!! Back in March when I started blogging I truly didn't know if I would stick with it. Yes, I haven't posted a lot every week, especially in the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy when I was feeling pretty poopy.

But I have come to love blogging so much! I love sharing about our lives, but my very favorite part of blogging is all the wonderful friends I have met! Although most of us haven't met in "real life," I treasure your friendships more than you know.

Another thing I love about blogging is the prayer network that we have. I have posted prayer requests (yesterday is a good example) and so many of you have left comments that you are praying. It is wonderful that we can help bear each others burdens in this way. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement, y'all are the best!

In honor of my blogging milestone, I've decided to giveaway three prizes!

Prize #1- A Handmade Pottery Mug by my sister-in-law

I think this little mug is so adorable! My sis-in-law, Katie, has been doing pottery for several years now, but she's really gotten into it lately since she got her own kiln.

Prize #2- 2 Flower Bowbands

I love bows, flowers, hats, etc. on little girls. They're just so girly! I've started making these flower bands to stock up for my little girl, but I'm hoping to start a little business soon.

Prize #3- $10 Starbucks Gift Card

I think everyone would love to win this prize!! ha.

To enter: All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me 3 things you are thankful for today. We always need to be counting our blessings!

Note: Please leave your email address with your comment if it is not posted on your blogger profile. I will be contacting the winners by email, so this is a very important step.

I will draw winners using Random.org next Tuesday, October 13th. I will contact the winners via email, and you will have 24 hours to respond. If I do not hear back in 24 hours, I will draw new winners.

For more giveaways, visit the Fall Giveaway Carnival hosted by Heavenly Homemakers!

Y'all have a great day!!

  9. Congrats on your 100th post. They creep up quick, don't they? You have yourself a very talented family. A money saving, mug makin', hair bow creating bunch - how awesome. Are your bows only for infants and toddlers or do you make them big enough for bigger girls (4, 5, 6???)
    I drink tea every night, so the mug would be great :o)
    I am thankful for:
    1. That I'm a citizen of the US
    2. For my animals that bring a smile to my face when nobody else can
    3. Vehicles that work, especially when it's freezing out.

    Have a great day!

  25. Thank you for the comment request =) I've been thinking since June that I needed to post a series of Thanksgiving thoughts (thinking complaining comes just too natural for me! and perhaps "Christmas in July" could be preceded by "Thanksgiving in June"?)

    So, three things among many would be -- my romantic, godly dh who is such a great father to our children; our six children, whom God is molding into such beautiful people (in spite of me); the opportunity to pursue our dream of living on our own land with a variety of bovines for plenty of good company and a little profit. =) God is so good!

    Your SIL's mug is beautiful!

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    Thank you for coming over and saying hi on my blog. It was so sweet being honored/featured.

    Your pups are absolutely gorgeous! We have a beloved black lab that is ...well....extremely chubby. She's been blind for about a year now and is pretty much a sleep at your feet baby now.

    You have a great contest going here.

    1) Thankful for my salvation in Christ
    2) For my family
    3) For a life that could have been spent in misery...but God had greater plans for it.

  51. I am so thankful that I have not gotten what I deserve in life.

    I thank God that there are godly men who will lead, who will stand for what is right and who will speak out against what is wrong.

    I am not able to tell you how thankful I am that God designed us to keep learning. At 44 (almost) I feel like I am still learning what it means to be a woman, a Mother and a Wife. Life holds so much excitement and I can't wait to see what the rest of my life is like. God is good - all the time!
