A special day and a GIVEAWAY!!

Twenty seven years ago today I married my wonderful husband, the father of our five boys and my very best friend. I love you so very much, Honey!! Twenty seven. Whew!! Where did the time go?? Our engagement photo:


*********************************************


Plus I wanted to show you a little something that I did this week. I bought this pretty shoe organizer a while ago at Target. It's from the Shabby Chic line and knew that I would use it to organize something, just not shoes!! Well, I hung it on the outside of the closet door in my art room and have added artwork and gifts from bloggers and friends!! I love grouping everything together like this, it just makes me smile!!!










Now, for my giveaway!


This is my 400th POST!! Goodness, you don't think I'm addicted to this do you? I just so enjoy sharing and all the wonderful friendships I've made ~


If you will leave a comment here, on this post, you will be entered into my giveaway! Pictured below is the altered box that I'm giving away! I'm working on one more little thing to give away as well! It will end Thursday, March 27th at 6:00 pm EST.








I thank each and every one of you for taking time out of your day to stop by to visit me! The Land of Blog is a sweet place where friends are found!!!

Happy Anniversary and Happy 400th post. I too will be celebrating my 27th Anniversary this year to my wonderful husband and best friend--in the summer. Can you believe how the years roll by. Anyway, I love the shoe rack idea. Years ago when my sons were little and collected Beanies I hung a shoe rack similar to that and filled the pockets with them. They are so good for storing things, but yours is also very pretty.

Have a wonderful Easter!

Karen Erickson said...
