It's the Spring Giveaway!

Because we had so much fun with Christmas giveaway, I'm excited to offer one to celebrate the return of Spring! The rules are the same, you receive one entry by leaving a comment on this post, and an additional five entries when you mention this giveaway on your own blog, with a link back to my blog. If you don't have a blog, that's fine but make sure I have a way to contact you. One week from today I will use a random number generator to pick a winner. Numbers are assigned as you enter. Gut Glick! (Good Luck!)

This time I have a basket of goodies for you...


Two books, a luxurious cake of lavender scented soap, Iris-scented bath salts, and a sweet cupcake pin-cushion make by yours truly!

The books:
  • It Happens Every Spring by Catherine Palmer and Gary Chapman. A delightful Christian fiction story with a serious theme. It is also the first in a series.
  • A Taste of Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul. This is not a full length Chicken Soup book, but a slimmer, 84-page version with short anecdotes of how God worked in various situations. Nice light inspirational reading for a busy season.


Next we have a large cake of lavender scented goat's milk soap, made by a good friend who is a talented soap maker. Take it in the bath or use it as a drawer sachet, it's lovely.


Finally, I made this cute cupcake pin cushion just for you! Don't hide it in the sewing basket, put it on display. Pretend it's chocolate.


And yes, you get the nice brand new lined basket that all these goodies are shown in. As usual, I reserve the right to throw in any extra prizes as I see fit. So what are you waiting for? Let's get the entries rolling.

Hi Monica - I'm completely new to the blogging world, as in starting my own! I've been reading several, including yours, and I, too, am a librarian! My blog is simply there for the cuteness factor, but I'm learning more and hope to have something people actually look forward to reading as well. Love the Mennobrarian and have it bookmarked on my "favorites" - actually on my own computer and my blog. Take care ~

You can count me in. :) That pin cushion is adorable. I am lacking in chocolate right now. I have some but it is for the missing important letter.

So, if I added a link to all my blogs, would that be heaps of entries? LOL Naah, I'll figure which one will be best.

Blessings

How beautiful of you. With all that people are going through in this day- it's nice to see someone giving something asway versus taking.
