Giveaway!

Giveaway is now closed!
So after all the drama I have been having with family members and my blog I am here to say that this life is mine and this blog is mine. I am who I am and I am not going to change anytime soon. I try really hard to be the the Daughter of God that I should be. I am by no means perfect, but I am giving this life of mine the best shot I can. I am a good person with many loyal friends, and those who aren't loyal are kicked from the circle of trust. :) I have learned that it does not do any good to allow toxic people into your life, so family or not I choose very carefully who I allow in my life. So to all those out there who don't like what I say on here, I only have one thing to say.
I DON'T FORCE YOU TO COME AN VISIT MY BLOG, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I DO HERE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO NEVER RETURN.
I am going to continue to show things that are important to me and that I love. I want to share love, beauty and kindness. This is the last time you will have to read about this, because from here on out it is back to the business of everything good in my life.
On that note I am feeling generous and want to give away something cute and lovely. I made this at my Mom's this past weekend and had fun doing it. It is my kind of craft. Took all of 10 minutes to make! It is a 81/2 x 11 canvas with scrapbook paper, vinyl, and embellishments.
I am also giving away a Mary Engelbreit journal and sticky note pads. Just because they are cute and cheerful, and I am needing some cheerful right now!

Here are the rules:
1. Be/become a follower.
For an extra entry:
1. Post about it on your blog.
For even more entries:
1. Anyone who leaves a comment mentioning that they came from your blog will get you extra entries. One for everyone who mentions your blog.
2. Anyone who becomes a follower from your blog will get you an extra entry. Make sure they tell me where they came from and that they are following.
Confused yet? Ok, go!
Giveaway will close on Friday, March 19 , which also happens to be Landon's 2nd b-day, so it will be a great day for celebration!

Maria, I love yours and your moms blogs. I'm really sorry that there are people like that and you have to be related to some. We all have a fool in the family. Kudos to you for going on, you rock!
Ya know, I'm really jealous of you and your mama's time you spend on the these crafts. If I lived closer I'd be hounding you to take me with you to your mama's house.

BTW, the sign is fabulous, dahling!!
