A big THANKS and giveaway!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

This is my first giveaway to celebrate my 300 Followers! Wow! that is still shocking to me.
I remember when I started my blog a few months ago, getting from 1-10 took sooo long. I wondered if I should just quit, was anyone even reading?
My daughter Hope posted this little verse from Job on the chalkboard, I grabbed it and held on!




So, just to say...



And to share a little...



I'm offering up a few little things from Michael's craft store. Nothing fancy here, but It is something I really enjoy using and I thought you might too.



You'll get these little alphabet rubber stamps, an ink pad, some label stickers, as well as a little pack of notes.
I told you, nothing fancy, just a little token of my appreciation.

You have two chances to win:

1. Be a follower and leave a comment letting me know that you are a follower.
2. Post this giveaway on your blog, facebook or twitter and leave a separate comment letting me know.

This giveaway will close Friday the 21st at 9pm EST

Blessings and thanks for allowing me to share with you all!
