It's TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY!!




I can hardly believe it's already been TWO years now that I've been blogging!!! But it has....this Wednesday, February 11th! Plus I've just hit my 800th post about ten posts ago, so it's kind of a DOUBLE celebration!!!


These last two years have been so amazing and wonderful to me. I've been afforded opportunities that I would have never had if I hadn't had this blog. I've met so many wonderful people and precious friends because of the blog. My artwork has been published several times now, just because I had a blog and the editor found my work!! So many blessings have come from me having my blog ~


This community of people, women and men, from all over the world....coming together to read one another's blogs, to peek at their artwork or homes, to cheer one another on, to pray for each other, to lift one another up, to give and gain daily inspiration.....there is just nothing else like it!


So to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to stop and read what I have to say, or to see what I've been up to, I'm having a GIVEAWAY!!!!


I am working on a piece of artwork right now to offer up to the first name drawn!!! Then, Kathi of Vintage Inspired Jewelry has GRACIOUSLY donated TWO pair of her beautiful handmade earrings for me to give away as well as a sweet set of her magnets!


Sooooo, I'll be drawing four names to give my artwork and Kathi's gifts to!!


Please just leave a comment on THIS POST to win. Also please make sure that you leave your email address if you do not have a blog so I can contact you!!!!


I will end the giveaway Saturday, Feb. 14th at 6:00 pm EST and will announce the winners Sunday!!!



Here is my giveaway gift to you....an altered book box nest assemblage ~






Please visit Kathi's blog HERE and her Etsy store HERE ~ I just LOVE her jewelry!!! She has generously given me two pair of earrings and a set of small magnets that she's made to give away as well......here they are :)









A sweet idea for Valentine's Day....my niece Allison had a bridal shower Sunday and her sister Adrian (my other niece!) made these wonderful heart shaped ice cubes for the punch!!! She used candy molds I think.....and dropped berries in them too!




Wishing you a wonderful, happy Monday!!!

xxoo, Dawn

marilyn said...

Dear Dawn, i just received my latest copy of blogger and found your article.
It is beautiful and your words are very grounded. i too believe the more we share, the more we can inspire one another.
I compare my ideas to be in a pitcher and as i pour my creations or ideas into others' cups, the Lord just keeps filling my pitcher back up with new stuff.
He is so gracious.
It's funny when i hear people complain about how someone stole their paint color.
Who can have the market on a color? GEEZ! God made every color in this world to share with us.
Everything belongs to Him. Why do we tend to forget that.
Well, i can't wait to peruse your blog and and discover some inspiration.
sincerely,Marilyn

Dawn, Your art is absolutely beautiful! I am so excited for you! To see you so happy and able to use all your creativity that I've known you have had for years! I still remember all the pieces of art, graphics, etc that you would catch your eye years ago when we worked together!

Leslie~The West, a Nest and You said...

Dear Dawn, It has been so fun watching you walk us through your new piece of "art"! I was very crafty back in the 80's and early 90's, but could never have imagined the many different forms that would develop over the years. Makes the 'primitive' country items I made look like a child made them, lol! I have also enjoyed your baby shower ideas, and if ever one of our offspring decides to become a parent, I just might use some of the same kind of creations. Lastly, I want to thank you for your daily posts. I so look forward to reading them while I get my breakfast each morning. You are always so cheerful and full of excitement. I think a little has even rubbed off on me :-) However, I have to admit I am a bit intimidated by so many creative and lovely blogs that I am having a terrible time getting my own off the ground. For some reason, I seem to think that what I write has to be something just wonderful. (As if anyone will even be reading my blog,ha!) Anyway, thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us. Many blessings, ~Leslie

It's BEAUTIFUL . . . my laundry room (where I spend A LOT of time) has slowly turned into a room of birdhouses, nests and other things that remind me of birds. I love birds - they are so graceful, thankful and precious.
