"She works with her hands in delight" Proverbs 31:13

Another Giveaway!

  Okay Everyone! I have just learned of a fabulous giveaway! Megan, over at "My life as it happens" is having her very first giveaway! She is giving away a copy of the first volume of the Elsie Dinsmore series! I love the Elsie Dinsmore series! I had checked some of these books out many years ago at the library, and when I read them, I could not put them down. :)

"Enter the Character-building, Nineteenth-century, Christ-centered world of Martha Finley’s Elsie Dinsmore.

After reading this family story you will understand why it was once the nation’s best seller for over thirty years(selling over twenty-five million copies) and still has lasting value for today’s reader of Christ-like role models.

Be ready to laugh, cry, and learn with Elsie as she lives her life on a Ninteenth-century plantation surrounded by family members who do not serve the Lord."

You will LOVE these books! Head on over to Megan's blog to enter for the first volume! Her giveaway ends on Sunday and she will draw the winner on Monday (April 21st) so hurry on over and enter! Oh yes, you can enter up to three times and if you mention her giveaway on your blog, you will be entered again!

And the winner is......

Congratulations to PeggyAnn!!!! HURRAY!! I hope you enjoy the pincushion! Please e-mail me at matrent@tds.net with your address, and I will be happy to ship your pincushion. :) And thank you to everyone who participated! It was very encouraging to see so many comments. :) I will definitely be having another giveaway in the near future! Thanks again everyone, and congratulations PeggyAnn!

Almost Time!

Well, we just walked in the door! I didn't think we'd be gone all day...sorry again everyone!! Let's see who won the giveaway! I'm getting ready to write down all of the names to put in the hat. :) Stay tuned........

Yes, I'm still alive...

Wow! I wasn't expecting so many comments on my giveaway! A big thank you to everyone who is dropping by! I hope y'all are having a wonderful week. I have just about finished Dad's art website (at last!!), and I was able to get a few sewing projects finished during the week. I know I said I was going to be back tomorrow, but I am going to be gone for most of the day, and I wanted to change the ending time for the giveaway!!!! I'm sorry to make y'all wait a little bit longer for the drawing. :) I just want to be here when it ends! :)

The giveaway is still ending tomorrow, but I am changing the deadline time to 5:00pm instead of 12:00pm! Please forgive me. :) The suspense is building! I'm so excited to see who wins...and I know y'all are too! Okay, I'm using way to many exclamation points! Just excited. :)Anyway, I will definitely see you tomorrow a little bit after 5:00pm to announce the winner of the giveaway!

Also, my friend Meredith is having a giveaway herself over at her blog! Go check it out! I'm going to enter right now. She's having an End-of Winter Cookie Giveaway, and to the winner she's giving away a batch of her freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! I've had them before, and I have to say...YUM!! To be entered twice, you must bake a batch of cookies yourself to share with your family, friends, neighbors, etc and send her a picture of yourself with your cookies. I need to get baking! I think I'll make some Oatmeal Sandwich Cookiesor chocolate chip cookies to share. Head on over to her blog and enter before this Friday!

I'll see y'all tomorrow after 5:00! God bless. 

Periwinkle Pincushion Giveaway!

                                

Well Everyone, I am going to be taking a little blogging break until Monday so I can focus on finishing Dad's art website this week. In the meantime, I am having a GIVEAWAY! YAY! After being inspired by Morgan's First Day of Spring Giveaway (which is ending on Thursday), I decided to have my own giveaway to celebrate the official arrival of Spring!

I made this felt pin cushion over the past week or so and am so excited to be giving it to one of y'all! I love making these pincushions! Here are some other ones that I have made...here...and here. I picked the periwinkle flower to top this one, and added some button centers and embroidery for a little something special. :)

If you'd like to enter my giveaway, just leave a comment under this post! You can only comment once, but if you post about my giveaway on your blog, let me know in a comment and I'll enter you twice. This giveaway will end on Monday, March 31st (the last day of March!) at noon. Have fun everyone, and I will see you on Monday and post the winner of the drawing! Enjoy Spring!
