My Favorite Things Giveaways – Winners Announced

My Favorite Things Giveaway #4 – Zebra Print Thank You Notes

It should come as no surprise to you that one of my favorite things is pretty paper and cute stationery. The only thing I like more than designing beautiful cards and stationery is sending cards to my friends. I love showing my heart-felt appreciation through a hand-written thank you note. I also love to receive hand-written notes in my mailbox. They always warm my heart and  bring a smile to my face! And those who know me know that nothing “plain” will do.

So today’s giveaway is for those of you who, like me, like to make a statement not only with your clothing wardrobe, but also with your stationery wardrobe. My Wildly Fun line of invitations and stationery (and especially anything Zebra Print) has been my most popular line this year. So today I am giving away a set of 10 Zebra Print Thank You Note Cards with Red Accents (envelopes included.)

Christmas Giveaways of My Favorite Things

Last month I was praying about how I can bless people this Christmas when the Lord gave me the idea to have my own “Favorite Things Giveaway.”

My Favorite Things may not have as high a price tag as Oprah’s, but they each have provided tremendous value to my life this past year. And I will be forever grateful to the authors who took the time and made the effort to write them. Yes, most of my favorite things are BOOKS!

So I will be giving away a book (or two) every day for the next several days, along with some of my other favorite things (like cards and stationery.)

Each book is special to me in a different way and I will be sharing how each one has impacted my life this year. I have always loved to read, and have read lots of books throughout my forty-something years, but this year books have had a greater impact on life than ever before. My prayer is that each book will go to the very person who needs the exact message of each particular book at this particular time in their lives. It is also my prayer that there will be people who previously were not “readers” who will, like my husband, become readers. (More on that later.)

I will be doing some giveaways here on this blog and some on my other blog. My first 3 giveaways originate on my other blog, Shine Through Social Media. So head on over there now to get entered:

My Favorite Things Giveaway #1:
Secrets of the Vine by Bruce Wilkinson

The reason this book is special to me is that at the beginning of this year I asked the Lord what habit I should focus on developing this year. His answer was: Abiding in Me. I asked Him how to do that and one of the things he said for me to do was to read “The Secrets of the Vine” by Bruce Wilkinson. I had read that book before and knew that I had a copy because I had been given a copy as a gift. But I searched throughout my whole house and could not find the book anywhere. …Read More…

My Favorite Things Giveaway #2

The reason this book is very special to me is because one day at the beginning of this year I came home and my husband told me to sit down, that he had something to tell me. I was hoping it was good news, because we had been having plenty of bad news.

This was what he told me,
“I read a book today.”  …Read more…

My Favorite Things Giveaway #3

At the beginning of the year my brother, who is an avid reader, had lent us several of his books. Out of that stack of books, my husband picked this particular book to read first because it was small, but he had no idea the HUGE impact it would have on him. My husband could relate to well to the main character in the book, Zacchaeus, who was somewhat of a misfit, but who had an extremely generous heart.  …Read More…
