It's Time for my give-away! Last week, I posted about my Blog 1 year anniversary! I have been pondering about what to do or what to give-away. It needed to be a little unique and a little economical, since we are still playing catch up from Christmas. So I decided to make you a pillow! Since burlap seems to be all the rage right now, I thought I'd give it a whirl! Here is my little burlap pillow with a bluebird applique made especially for the winner! But wait, there's more!
A little close-up of the cup and saucer!
The pillow!
Oh, and one more thing! My favorite hand soap by Bath and Body Works! Coconut Lime Verbina! I love the smell of this, it reminds me of being on a Tropical Beach Vacation! Something I could really use right now!
To enter is easy!!

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, Of course I am a follower and I would love to have you as a follower too. You really must stop by and see Cocoa's brother! He is having a tuff morning waking up.
ReplyDeleteThe cup and saucer is so sweet and it will look great living in my home.
Oh Cindy, Its friends like you that makes blogging so special! Hope you have a great day! Blessings, Faye
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! What a great give-away The pillow is charming. The birds, tea cup (I AM a tea drinker afterall) and delicious scent of the hand soap are wonderful... Pick me! Pick me!*Ü*
ReplyDeleteChris
P.S. I am a follwer.
Congrats! on your year anniversary. What a lovely give a way. I love tea cups and tea pots as well. The pillow is so cute who doesen't need a blue bird of happiness to chase the winter blues away. I have been following your blog and always enjoy your posts.
ReplyDeleteCindy....what a fun giveaway...please enter me...Stay warm...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your One Year Blogaversary!! It's always fun when we hit a milestone. You have been such a blessing to me this past year. I look forward to many more of your posts.. I'll certainly share on my blog..hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful home and I love visiting your Blog. I have been popping in from time to time and today found you have a giveaway. What a wonderful thing to do and wonderful gifts. I became a follower today so that I will receive e-mails when you post. Makes it so much easier to follow.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
I have always enjoyed following your blog. The tea cup is perfect! I think we could all use some cheery yellow in this cold! The pillow is so cute!! I have always heard that pillows are simple to make, and I think yours has inspired me to try my hand at it. The blue bird is adorable and the yellow bed is wonderful. I would love to do that in my daughters' bedroom. The quilt is so happy, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Again Cindy~ ~Yes we do get lots of pretty birds and the feeder was made by my Beloved. It sits at the top of a 14 foot metal pole that is anchored in a flower bed on the patio below. That way we can get a good view of the birds feeding from the sunroom and deck above. I'm sure that your hubby could make one. It's just a frame with a screen in it so the water can run through. 4 poles and a roof to deter the hawks. We do love the hawks but I don't want to make dinner too easy for them.
ReplyDeleteONE YEAR! I am amazed that at this time last year we didn't even know each other. My how life takes twists and turns. I am so glad.
ReplyDeleteGIRL! You spiffed up your pictures! All that snow got you homebound and bored? I learned so much yesterday and am excited to be able to change up my blog a little too!
Enter me! YAY! You know me and tea cups! And the little birds are very sweet! (But if I win - I'll die!)
Have a wonderful day sweet Cindy!
Hugs! Karen
Oh Cindy, ya know how I love a good giveaway. I'm coveting that burlap pillow. Everything in your giveaway is beautiful but Calgon take me away. That Coconut Lime Verbina paired up with my Jacuzzi tub just might be the rescue I need from this tundra we've been thrown in.
ReplyDeleteFrom your bloggin follower friend, ya'll have a great day and may God bless it!!!
Hi Cindy! I love everything you are giving away ~ that pillow is too cute and the tea cup and saucer is so sweet as well as the little birdy figurine! I use B&BW soap all the time so I would love that as well! Please sign me up! You know I have been a follower since I started my own blog and I will post your giveaway on my blog, too! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna

Cindy, Congrats again on your blogging anniversary. You're offering some real pretties for your giveaway- I especially like the tea cup/saucer. I was going to say,"Calgon take me away," in regards to the lemon verbena soap, but someone beat me to it! I would love to be in sunny warm weather,too. All this snow IS depressing.
ReplyDeleteI'll put your give-away on my sidebar and you know I follow your blog. Thanks so much! hugs, Sue
Cindy, Just love your giveaways - I am new to blogging but have you in my favourites list.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend,
Suzy
Oh, Cindy... I had told Claudie that I wouldn't enter another giveaway to give others a chance, but that bird pillow is so very, very shiny to me! Throw in the other objects, and I am sighing big time!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super neat giveaway...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Cindy...that pillow is adorable! And I do decorate with birds...
ReplyDeleteThanks & Happy Blog Anniversary!
