Good luck!

Go See Ree!!!

If you've been living under a rock or something and don't know about Ree, my favorite Pioneer Woman...today is the day to GO SEE HER!

She's celebrating her 2 year blogging anniversary with an incredible, eye-popping, jaw-dropping giveaway. You simply must go throw your number in the hat.

Okay...I can't not tell you what it is. It's a digital SLR AND an HP photo printer!

Yeah! Really! Go sign up! NOW!!!

A Couple Of Updates

Well everyone, the note cards I made for the recent Bloggy Giveaway have been officially claimed! A very nice woman named Liz from Massachusetts got back to me with her mailing address. It's so neat for me to think of my little cards making their way all the way across the country to MA! I'm working on some cards to put up on Etsy at the price point you all recommended...I'll let you know when they're available.

The Bloggy Giveaway was such a neat experience for me. I got so many kind comments, and had a lot of fun cruising other people's goodies too. It was good for my friend Becky too. After showcasing her really cool nursing covers, she already has orders on the books for more! Go Beck! Are you or someone you know planning on nursing a baby in the near future? If so, I encourage you to go see her covers. I've seen them first hand, I can testify to their cuteness and quality :)

And NOW...the BEST and most miraculous update of all....

Remember my sister in law, Becky?

She's had a rough go of it lately. She's still on a respirator to do her breathing for her since many of her ribs, her collar bone, and her sternum are all broken. They're weaning her off of it bit by bit, but it's exhausting and painful work for her.

BUT...yesterday her mom called me to tell me that she's moving one of her legs and has some feeling in the other. Praise God! This, after the neurosurgeons said that it was "overly optimistic" to expect this kind of recovery....never mind this kind of recovery so soon.

But please, this does not mean that it's time to stop praying! She still has lots of painful healing and recovery to go through. And of course, we could all use prayers to be drawn closer to the Lord. Becky is no different. Please keep praying for her.

Well, those are my updates. Stay tuned for some fun kiddo pictures...

And The Bloggy Giveaway Winner Is...

Well, I'm not sure of her name. How's that for a dramatic finish? I do, however, have her email, so I'll drop her a line to let her know that she won the note cards.

I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful and kind comments I got during this giveaway! I'm choosing to take every compliment to heart...instead of assuming that I only got comments because there was something free on the line ;)

Seriously, THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this giveaway. Also, thanks to those of you who helped me with my poll. Look for my note cards on Etsy soon!

By the way, does anyone out there know how to set Blogger to number the comments? That would have really come in handy.

Hey!

What do you think of my new digs?! I love it!

If you like what's been done here, head on over to Blue Yonder Designs and give Jen some love! I'm sure she'd appreciate an email from you saying that you think she did a great job. I've told her a hundred times already! If you're looking for a new blog design, I highly recommend using her services. She's creative, talented, and very fun to work with. Heck, she's put up with the likes of ME for the past week!

In honor of this wonderful new design, I'm hosting a surprise GIVEAWAY!!! I'll be giving away a package of note cards (tulips? daisies? crocus? mountains? it will be a surprise). To enter, just comment to this post and tell me all about how much you love this new design. If you don't really like it, I fully expect you to lie to me!

And honestly...if you can think of a way that it can be better, let me know that too. Can't find something you're looking for? I want this to be easy to navigate, so please let me know if you're struggling with something.

That reminds me...stay tuned for some more details to be added (like a navigation bar).

This post will remain at the top of my page until the Giveaway is over (So scroll down for today's posts). I'll draw a winner in one week...that's Friday, April 11. Tell your friends!

The winner for this Giveaway has been selected. Thanks for participating!

Another Reminder!!

Hey everyone...don't forget to get signed up for the Giveaway I'll be doing next week!

Also remember to check out my photos on Flickr...just didn't get a chance to get everything loaded to the photography site yet.

P.S. Pictures of the kiddos are not part of the giveaway (unless you're related to said kiddo)

D Rose Photography Grand Opening Giveaway!!

D Rose Photography is open for business!

To celebrate, I'm hosting a giveaway. It's simple, here's how it works:
1. Go visit D Rose Photography and have a look around
2. Come back to THIS message and leave a comment...input for my photography site, tell me which photo is your favorite, tell me what you'd like to see more of...whatever!
3. In one week, I'll draw a # from a hat (or a random number generator). If your comment# corresponds with that number, you're the big winner!

The Prize:
The print of your choice, in the size of your choice...on me! You can choose any size from note-cards on up to an 11" x 14" (depends somewhat on the picture you choose and it's resolution).

I've been working hard to put photos up for you to look at, but the selection is still fairly limited. If you see something at my Flickr site (see right sidebar on this site), let me know and I'll see what we can do to include it as a prize photo.

I hope you enjoy looking around over there - I'm sure excited to share with you!
