It's a GIVEAWAY

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
   the world, and all who live in it; 
Psalm 24:1




Wow!  101 followers as of today, and 51 who subscribe by feedburner.  I started this blog one year ago, not really knowing what would happen with it.  I remember the excitement when I got my first comment, and the excitement when someone I didn't know started following me.

I have met so many wonderful people through blogging, and am so appreciative of each and every one of you.  Some of you stop by for the free vintage images, others for the inspiration, some for both.  Whatever it is, your visits here have given me more than you realize.

 I thank God for helping me along with this blog.  Giving me the ideas for devotions, and sending  encouragement from my readers just when I needed it. 

Okay..... on to the giveaway.

I have not one......
not two.......
but THREE......... 
things to give away.




Sorry, it's not the babies.  Jan from Re-Creations was my 100th follower and she'll be receiving these goodies below.


100 Follower Giveaway
Two more of my followers have a chance to win a similar set of goodies.  Here's how:
  • Be one of my "Followers" (I don't really like that expression but anyway...) Leave a comment on this post by Midnight EST, September 30th, 2011.  In your comment, let me know what you like most about my blog.  
  •  Follow me on Pinterest and leave a separate comment here letting me know. 
I will announce the winners on October 1st. That should give me enough time to figure out the random number generator gadget.  

Here's what will be in the package of goodies
  • 10 Vintage Christmas Postcards
  • Vintage Lace & Buttons
  • at least 100 punches from Vintage Sheet Music
  • Embroidery Floss
  • 4 Inspirational or Scripture graphics that I designed 

 There may be more, so you could be surprised if you win.  Remember, there are two chances to win. 


Thanks so much for visiting today.

    Hi Abby~
    I have been following your blog for a few months. The images drew me here and your generous sharing of them but your blog is so much more than that. Your faith comes shining through and your posts always give positive encouragement. I really love Bible verse Thursday. I'm glad you mentioned that you're on Pinterst...I am following a bunch of your boards there!
    Congratulations on 100+ readers!
