It Snowed....and the Winners!



The three biggest 'littles' were very happy to see snow falling from the sky yesterday.  Each of them got to enjoy some snow time!!  I 'borrowed' some photos of them, from their parents, to share with you.

Love this photo of Elijah watching the snow. He actually played outside twice...but the snow was so fluffy he couldn't make the snowman he wanted to. His other grandma came to the rescue though...love his 'flat' snowman!!

The best snowman making snow was by Charlotte's house....looks like the best
tasting snow was there too!



Penelope really wanted to go outside and blow bubbles in the snow...she finally
convinced her daddy to go out with her.

 

 The two littlest 'littles' passed on the snow, but I still managed to find

some photos of them to share....like that was hard!!  : )

Thanksgiving dinner was rough for Caleb...he was
REALLY tired! 
Final score: SLEEP - 1, GOLDFISH CRACKERS - 0.

Little Miss Lulu celebrated her 7 month birthday yesterday.
Love that sweet smile!!



Now for the winners of the giveaway!

 



   I asked Bill to pick two numbers between 1 and 8. 
He chose 3 and 7....that means Ann and Peggy win!! 
Here's their VERY NICE comments. 

Congratulations to both of you!!!

And the Winner is......

 

Bill was sitting and watching a baseball game Sunday evening.  He looked a bit bored, like he needed something else to do.  So I asked him to pick a number between 1 and 28....and he picked 17.  Little did he know that he was picking the winner of my giveaway!!!

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments on this blog and on my photo blog ~ 52 Looks. I really appreciated all the great tips on photography and all the very kind things you said. But enough of that ~ it's time to announce the winner of the 24 pack of glitter.

It's Tracy Suzanne!

She said ~

Thanks for the kind words Tracy!

(yes, those are little Christmas notes. I bought 10 of these little notepads for 10 cents after Christmas. This was a perfect time to use some of them.)

There were a lot more entries than I imagined there would be (thanks again) and I just didn't like picking only one winner. So I picked more than one ~ I chose three to each receive one bottle of Martha's glitter.

Aren't these pretty colors?

Copper, Antique Silver and Florentine Gold.

Here's the runner-up winners.
1. LDH
2. Ann
3. Thespa

I wish I had bottles of glitter for everyone! However I don't ~ but I do have tons of thanks for all of you who make blogging fun! I plan on spending some time this week visiting all my new blogging friends. Have a joy-filled day!

300th Post Giveaway

Update ~ 6/19 12:30am EST ~ the giveaway is closed.

I know I just had a giveaway ~ but yesterday was a great day and I need to share my happiness with others!

Yesterday was the 300th post on my blog ~ it was also Flag day ~ AND it was my birthday ~ plenty of reasons to celebrate!

I truly enjoy the creative outlet this blog has become and I have loved having a place to share my thoughts, my faith, happenings in my life, and most of all my grandbabies (okay their parents too!) with others...especially my family in Michigan and friends that I don't see often enough. It's a connection that's comforting to have.

The land of blog is filled with wonderful places to visit ~ places I might otherwise never see and places "right around the corner" that I never knew existed. It's filled with a wealth of incredible creativity. I'm inspired everyday. There are so many other blogs out there! Written by some really wonderful and very talented people ~ more about some of my favorites on my 7/2/09 blogaversary post.

Having a blog has also been a learning experience as far as the computer & programs go. I know a teeny bit about HTML that I didn't know before ~ but I still need Kevin's help for most things. It's fun to try and figure things out and there are some great blogs that help me when I can't. I've always loved taking photos and having a place to put them has made me want to take better ones. But, in the meantime, I've discovered ways to make my not so great photos look a little bit better!

Anyway ~ enough of that. To celebrate my 300th post AND Flag Day AND my birthday I'd like to have this GIVEAWAY:

This is a postcard size piece of art that I made. The red border isn't part of the piece, it's just the background of the scan that I did.

Here's a photo of the art card along with a few other goodies.

Uncle Sam is standing on a little box ~ perfect for hiding a tiny trinket in. The winner will also receive a mustard gold metal star, a love magnet and a little patchwork heart.

A comment on this post gives you one chance to win. If you'd like a second chance to win please share something you love about blogging. If you'd like THREE more chances to win ~ for a total of FIVE ~ please mention my giveaway on your blog. This is open to everyone. No matter where you live. No matter if you've won a giveaway from me before. I just really like giving things to people....I really do! I'll pick a winner on Friday, June 19th!

And The Winner Is......

LDH over at "With A Grateful Prayer and A Thankful Heart".

That's such a beautiful blog name!

Please send me your address and I'll get your goodies packaged up and ready to mail to you!

I'll be having a couple more Giveaways soon ~ one for my 300th post and one for my 1st year blog birthday! Scroll down my right sidebar for clues on when those will happen and please check back!

Reminder

Comment on the original post ~ it's here ~ if you would like a chance to win this gathering of goodies. I'll be picking a winner after midnight tomorrow ~ Friday 6/5!

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Diane Knott's!

Diane has a wonderful blog that showcases her beautiful artwork and gives sweet peeks into her life. She works wonders with paint and paper. I'm looking forward to seeing how she uses her "winnings" in her art.

Thanks to everyone who visited my blog and entered the giveaway ~ sorry you couldn't all win! But try again next time ~ and there will be a next time!

~~~~~~~~

See the colorful strips in the background above? It's part of a runner I picked up at the thrift store tonight ~ I'd like to make a tote bag out of it. I found some other wonderful thrifty things too! I'll be posting about them on Friday.

By the way ~ I'm sorry I was so late in announcing the winner of the giveaway. I had a blow-out on my way home ~ definitely destroyed a tire! It took a couple hours to get that all situated!
