**Leave your comments here now and I will select a winner when I reach 500 followers!!**
Hey everyone!! I am SO super excited for this post because I have a pretty cool giveaway for you all! (And your friends!) ;) When I first started my blog last year, I remember sitting in the car checking my iPhone and I got so excited when I had reached 37 followers. My husband and I were on our way to dinner and I told him "How cool! That means that 37 people actually care what I'm doing and creating!". I had no idea that I'd be sitting here now at almost 500 followers! God is good and it means so much to me that I have so many online friends who share my same passion and hobby J Today is also a GREAT day because my husband starts his new job! We are so blessed that he was only out of work for 3 weeks in this bad economy, but I can tell you that it has changed me! I no longer take anything for granted and my heart aches for those who might be going through a similar situation. It's not easy, especially when you have an entire family to take care of so my hearts go out to every single one of you! Keep your faith strong, I promise it'll be worth it! J
So to celebrate the good that is happening in my life, I wanted to have a giveaway! I recently purchased the cart "Wrap It Up" and while I love the images, I had just gotten about 6 carts in that week and felt that I didn't "truly" need it so I'd love for it to go to a good home!
The only thing is **It is opened, but UNLINKED and I did use the rewards on it. I decided to give it away after I redeemed them so I'M SORRY!** Either way, I'm sure whoever wins this will enjoy it!
**Also, I LOVE my International friends but to win this cart you must reside in the United States. If you do win my random.org drawing and you are from a different country, the giveaway will be for a $10 Visa Gift card, so everyone has a chance at something**
And PLEASE help spread the word! Like last time, if you post this on your blog or FB page or wherever you may roam (hehe..threw in a little Metallica in there for my husband!) just shoot me a separate email at msalmabrooks@yahoo.com to give you more entries J
That's it! Thank you so much for all of your comments and prayers whenever we've gone through a tough time. They truly mean the world to me! J
Alma, that is so GREAT that your husband was BLESSED with a job!! Whoop Whoop:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the chance to win! I don't have that cart!

The times are tough right now for everyone. I keep telling my hubby to just keep faith. He was let go in Nov and with savings we have managed to maintain our life style with a few changes, no new carts :( Glad that all is looking up for you and congrats on your followers.

Hi, Alma! I love your gift bag... it's just adorable! I'm so excited for you that you are nearing a milestone with your blog followers and that your hubby was hired so quickly. I was laid off in August of last year and have yet to find a new job. Needless to say, my crafting budget is zero right now as I am my sole source of income and unemployment doesn't pay very much. I have been following you for a while now and even though I don't often comment, I do visit frequently to see what you're up to. Thanks for the opportunity to win your generous giveaway.
