Saturday

Remember you still have a couple days to post on my blog to get an entry for the book mark. Debbie has still not come forward so I may be redrawing for her prize on Monday as well.

A friend and I went off to the new birding center they opened today. It's a beautiful sanctuary but going to be costly to visit. We are so blessed with many different types of birds down here. We then went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for queso chicken and chips. It was so good! Stopped a couple of stores (it's so nice when tourist season is over) and came back home.

I'm itching to get back on the beach as we spent 3 hours yesterday and found some really nice sea beans. Darryl's watching football so it's doubtful I can get him out.

Have a good weekend - I'll be back on Monday to draw! Good Luck!

Last week's winner - Debbie

Well so far last week's winner has not come forward. I tried clicking on her name but her blog is private. . . so on Monday when I draw for the book mark if she has not come forward I will draw another name from last week's entries.

We've had rain for 3 days now and as much as I love not seeing the sun for a while I have to admit by yesterday afternoon I was getting a little cranky. I want rain if it's going to be gray outside (spoiled) I guess.

Have some new sea glass jewelry going to be posting real soon and some new book mark designs for Halloween.

We are in the planning stages of going to Indiana for 3 weeks in October so I am trying to get my shop full of items I think would be great gifts for the holidays. And I try to keep my items priced reasonable.

Might go to the beach today and see what's washed ashore. Y'all have a great day!

This week's freebie ~ fall book mark

This week's give away is a fall book mark. I just love it ~ and hope you will too. I used a pumpkin shaped glass lamp work bead some Swavorski crystals and then topped off with a pumpkin embossed oval. It is a 6" squiggle bookmark ~ ideal gift for any reader's in your life! Great to tuck into your card when you can't be there for the fall holidays.


I have changed the rules just a bit to make it fair for all. If you are a follower and are interested in entering the weekly give away you must post that you are a follower to get an entry. Also to make it easier to find the avatar ~ it will appear on the same type of items in my shop ~ ie book mark!

If Monday's winner "Debbie" does not come forward by next Monday - I will draw again from last weeks entries.

Below are the ways to enter ~ good luck and have a great week. They are calling for rain today and tomorrow and we are excited!

2) Visit my shop and come back and post a comment on something you like in my shop will earn you 1 entry

3) Visit my shop and find the picture above and post on my blog where it was located. There will be 3 pictures listed ~ you only need to find one for 1 entry. Find all 3 for 3 entries.

Give Away this Week - Pumpkin or Leaf Dish

Sorry to be posting so late ~ yesterday I had a doctor's appointment in town (45 minutes away) so I always like to hit the Target, Hobby Lobby and such while there so didn't get much done yesterday. On the good side of things all of my blood work came back great so eating healthy and giving up diet cokes must be working.

Now to the fun stuff!!

This week my give away is your choice of the pumpkin dish listed or the leaf - just in time to put out for the next 3 months! I love fall even though we don't have one here in South Texas. Here are the ways to enter.

Sunday

It has been so great the past few days - rain rain and more rain! We finally had 3 inches by Saturday morning. Today no such luck but it was great while it lasted.

Be sure to get your entries in for the give away ~ I draw on Monday's.

I'm really excited as a local business who hosts weddings on the beach is interested in my ring bearer dishes ~ I meet with them next week. Wish me luck!

Have a great night!

This weeks giveaway

Sorry I didn't get posted yesterday ~ we took some time off and went walking on the beach. There were storm clouds all over with a cooler breeze and even though there wasn't much to look at or pick up it was wonderful. We walked for over a couple hours.

This weeks prize: Your choice of 3 of my gift tags - any designs and any personalization. You can check out the gift tags over in my mini etsy or in my shop to make your selection if you win.

The neat thing about these GTOM's as I call them - they are a gift tag - can be used as an ornament and then can be used as a magnet.

Remember 5 ways to win:

1) Follow my blog
2) Post one item you like from my shop on my blog
3) There are 3 chances to find the "you found me" avatar in my shop listings.
Find 1 and that is good for 1 entry.

Good Luck - the drawing will be next Monday. Also I will try to post some pics later
Thanks and have a great week!

Happy Labor Day

Want to say Happy Labor Day to everyone and hope they enjoyed the weekend!

I just had hubby draw from the 5 entries from Grandma Marilyn and the other blog followers. The winner is Cheri from itsmecheri on etsy.

A great big thank you goes out for those who participated. I'll be posting what the prize is tomorrow and shuffling the "you found me" in my listings. I will shuffle them throughout the week also so just because someone found them one day they may not be in the same listing later that day or the next.

Have a great week!
