Ok, my friends, it’s time for my giveaway!
Can I just tell you that I had so much fun shopping for this and keeping all of you in mind that I have connected with over the last year?
I also have to tell you that the whole theme of my giveaway was not really intended at first, but it just kind of happened. Cool thing is…I really like how it turned out.
Keep in mind that the Bible says that Love is the greatest gift.
Check out the goodies that I picked out for you…
There are two 16 oz mugs, a Starbucks gift card, the beautiful February edition of Romantic Homes magazine which features some of our talented blogging friends, Burt’s Bees lip balm with pomegranate oil, pretty little pink rose petals, and a great wicker basket lantern from TJ Maxx. I am also including one of TJ Maxx’s spring reusable totes that I love to take shopping with me.
The cup that looks black is actually a pretty, deep brown. (I bought that one for myself)
I hope this is something that you all would enjoy.
***
Now for my simple rules:
Please leave me a comment ( I love reading your comments and always try to respond to each one of you because I think that makes us better friends)
If you are not a follower already, I would be thrilled to have you follow me, but it’s not a necessity
I would love for you to tell your friends about my giveaway if you think it’s something that they might enjoy (maybe they need an extra little bit of love too)
If you tell your friends, please let me know by leaving me a second comment and that way I can have your name entered twice
So, that’s it…
You have a chance to get your name entered twice…once for leaving a comment and another if you share the details with a friend and make sure to let me know that you did
My “random generator” will be my youngest child who will draw a name on Saturday , January 29. I will announce the winner the following Sunday, January 30.
(If any of this does not make sense, please let me know)
***
I want to remind you all that today is Sanctity of Life Sunday. Please take a moment to pray for the mom and/or dad who is considering abortion. Pray also for the mom who has already had an abortion and needs a healing touch from God.
Life is precious and it is a gift from God.

What a lovely giveaway! It's always more fun to shop for someone else! (I think!)
following on gfc--great giveaway! I love Starbucks--and I have had my eye on those cups--perfect pink for me and brown for my new husband. Just sharing --I have quite the sweet tooth--in fact I would probably forget to eat all together if there weren't so many yummy sweets in the world--my new husband is never interested in sweets--yesterday he took me to a chocolate festival (we had an amazing time) and he tasted some chocolate bar that had the bits of ghost chili pepper (hottest pepper in the world--as pf now anyways) I tasted it and almost died---crazy hot --anyways my husband went crazy and bought all they had left(luckily for me they only had 3 bars left--at $8 a pop) I was in shock---he just got caught up in the moment--I've known him 17 years and never seen him go crazy for something like that---who new he wanted his sweets crazy spicy!

Look at all the wonderful things you chose Amy...what a great giveaway. Of course, I'm already a follower. I like how you took a moment to point out the Sanctity of Life. That is an issue that I think about a lot and really makes me so sad. Best wishes ♥
Amy, I just found your blog and think it is fantastic. I can't believe you're doing a give-away. I would love to be entered as well.
I am also running a give-away. I am drawing on the 28th.

I'm temporarily laid up from a surgery on leg and came across your blog and really glad. It always inspires me when people are open to talk about the love of God in their blog. It would be great to win this and thanks for the opportunity.

Amy, such a nice give away... it certainly looks like you went shopping for a dear friend! I loved reading your satin pillow post! My brother had deep red satin sheets (this was during the late 70's, he was into KISS too! LOL) and when I would get scared in the night, he'd let me crawl into his bed and I'll never forget how lush that pillow case felt! Thanks for reminding me of a FUN memory from my childhood!
I like your blog ...
nice info..
and god luck!!
