Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Another lovely chance to win a Shabby Apple dress!

It is the Ooh La La Dress and it is gorgeous!
Giveaway hosted here by Le Blog de la Mome!

It's the dress on the left.

So chic, huh?

And I love the red!

I'm crossing my fingers this time,

I really hope I win.

But I'm going to share this giveaway with you all.

Last time I entered a Shabby Apple Giveaway

I was selfish.

I didn't blog about it,

or tell my friends about it.

Because I didn't want to decrease my chances of winning.

Well I entered the giveaway secretively,

and then the next day my dear friend Amy

shared a link with me on facebook for another

Shabby Apple Giveaway.

I felt horrible.

So of course I shared the link with her to

the giveaway I had found.

She commented back and wrote

"Consider me entered."

"P.S sorry for decreasing your chances of winning."

I feel like such a jerk at this point-

that is exactly what I had been thinking.

Well I checked back every hour after the giveaway ended,

and who do you think won??

Sure enough, it was Amy!

That is karma people.

I texted her to give her the happy news,

(Ok, so I was jealous, I really wanted to win)

so it was bittersweet for me.

But I love her to death so I really was happy for her.

Deep down.

Way deep down.

But consider my lesson learned.

I will now share any Shabby Apple dress giveaway I find.

And wait patiently for the day that I finally win!

TRIA Beauty Giveaway

Win a TRIA Laser Hair Removal System.

It is just what I need.

I shave and two hours later my legs are sharp enough to cut someone.

Anyone else have that problem?

Well now that you all know about my hairy legs,

peace.

Oh and Happy Fourth of July!

Hope you all had a happy patriotic weekend.

And remembered to be grateful for all those who have fought and died for us.

So that we can have FREEDOM.

Here's a few pictures for you to enjoy.

I have many more to post later :-)

          

We love sparklers,

I woke up so grateful today for so many things. So first I'd like to thank my Father in Heaver, and His Song Jesus Christ, for everything. Because I owe all that I have to Them.

they help me to become a better person).

The above list doesn't even begin to cover all that I am grateful for.

But I am grateful for all that I have.

TOMS: A Lovely Giveaway for a Lovely Vision.

TOMS Giveaway here.

ONE FOR ONE. 

Such a lovely, beautiful act of service.

With every pair you purchase

TOMS will give a pair of NEW shoes

to a child in NEED.

ONE FOR ONE.

How Lovely. 

Go check out TOMS.

You will fall in love.

With their mission.

And their shoes.

I promise.

OH DEAR! How do I begin to describe how badly I want a pair. I heart TOMS shoes to death. Not only are they absolutely love and stylish, but the whole idea behind TOMS is one of the most lovely, unselfish ideas. One for one. That seems like no way to run a business and make money...and yet it works. Because charity never faileth.

 "Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about. The TOMS One for One business model transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support."

  TOMS vision and humanitarian efforts is so beautiful.

I want these little beauties if I win.

Please let me win!

(Crossing my fingers)

Romancing the Woman You Love

Romancing the Woman You Love

This is all any girl wants, to be romanced and wooed. It doesn't even have to be a grand gesture as shared in the article, but it's the little, corny, sweet and thoughtful things that shows he cares and wants to make you happy that totally sweep us off our feet, and what girl doesn't want to be swept off her feet...ladies, am I right??

Amy Adams does the perfect job of summing it all up in Enchanted. I love this song/scene!

Vintage Pearl Giveaway

I am so thrilled by this giveaway. A Lovely Lifestyle is hosting a giveaway for a $50 gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl, where you can customize your very own necklace or bracelet! I adore this jewelery, it is so simple and so beautiful. I entered a giveaway hosted by The Vintage Pearl, but did not win. Alas, I have a second chance. To win this beauty:

I think it will make the perfect remembrance necklace for my dear Carla. I will have her name inscribed on the necklace and wear it always/ Carla will always hold a huge chunk of my heart. I still miss her more than I can put into words. I cry daily because I miss her so much, and because I would give anything in the world to see her one more time, and to find out if she is happy. That is my prayer. That she is happy and loved in her family. I also pray that her family, if not already members, will be visited by the missionaries and will accept the gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives. This has been my prayer for three years. Now some may call this coincidence, but my brother was just called to serve a 2 year mission in Guayaquil, Ecuador for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ecuador happens to be where my precious little Carla lives. I don't believe in coincidences. Of course I am ecstatic! And I don't believe in coincidence. I have also prayed the last three years that one of my brothers would be called to serve there, so that they could be led to Carla's family, and baptize them. Coincidence? I think not. I know that this is possible. I have the faith. More miraculous things have happened in this life. So I continue to pray for this, and I have been thanking my Heavenly Father for sending my brother there. Who knows, maybe my brother will get there and find that her family is already strong members of the church. That would be wonderful! But I do hope and pray that somehow, at some point, he will cross paths with her. Anyways, I got a little off topic there, but just so you all know, that is what I will do with my necklace if I win! Oh and I also love this little beauty as well, I would just put a C on one heart for Carla. Now I  can't decide which one I want, I think I am actually leaning towards this one though, what better way to remember her than by having her carved on my heart?? Yes, this is definitely the necklace that I want. But the first one is so pretty too!

What will you do??
