I'm almost at the 1000 follower mark and to celebrate I'm offering a giveaway. A dear friend of mine, Christina, has generously offered to give one of my lucky followers one of her handmade creations. Christina is amazingly talented with a sewing machine and her skills don't stop there. She's also a gifted photographer. Just visit her blog Pooh's Corner to see for yourself.
In addition to blogging, Christina also has an Etsy store, Emily Ann's Kloset, where you will find the most adorable handmade owl pillows and patchwork dresses.
Christina has a knack for finding the most precious fabrics, then mixes and matches them to create custom children's clothes and owl pillows. Here is just a sampling of her work.
I asked Christina what inspires her creativity and here is what she had to say.
I believe in children. I believe in whimsy. I believe in dreams. I believe in the deep down good in people. I believe in childhood innocence. I believe that special needs children were put here for a purpose and I was chosen to be a part of that wonderful adventure. I believe in bedtime stories. I believe in God. I believe tickles can solve problems. I believe there are magical connections between people. I believe color can make you happy. I believe in a beautiful world. And, I believe that like Harold and the Purple Crayon, you can make your life beautiful in different ways.
For this giveaway, Christina is offering one of her custom dresses. The lucky winner will choose from one of the following dresses.
So with Christina's wonderful spirit in mind, here are the rules for entering:
1. Become a follower of my blog, if not already, and leave a comment so I know you are.
2. Tell your loved ones you love them often. Life is fleeting.
3. Smile at a stranger. It will make their day.
4. Make time for fun. Everything else can wait.
5. Give God credit for everything good in your life. Ask Him for strength during the bad.
Good luck! The winner will be announced one week from today, Friday, March 23rd.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious weekend.
xoxo,
Kim

The dresses are adorable. I would love to win one of them for a granddaughter. I am a follower. Trish
I am the first!
Oh gosh, Kim, you know I have to enter this for the dress for my granddaughter! I am already a follower!
Because we know that {your #2} myself, my husband, my son and my daughter ~ we end every phone conversation with, "I love you". Probably about 10 years ago, I started doing it with my parents and it is so much a part of us now that they say it as automatically as I do!
So, I'm not going to leave a comment for each one, Kim {you'll probably want to pull your hair out}, but I can say I did each of these things today. At the supermarket, I smiled and spoke with a stranger {the woman doling out crab cake samples}, I made time for fun after doing the second coat of paint on my granddaughter's bedroom trim, by hanging out and watching Shrek with her, and I am so thankful every day for the life God allows me to have with my loved ones.
My comment was supposed to say "a dresser". Not a dress. I'm already giving away a dress.
Oh my. I blame spell check. And I'm sticking with that. hehe.

I was so tickled to hear from you. Blogland is so large, I get lost from some of my favorite people and their blogs.
I was just looking thru some photos to choose 4 favorite ones I have taken, for a linky party and came across the one you took of your daughter, looking like Deeds. It brought smiles and memories back. :)) Then, to see you had been over for a visit was such a nice surprise.
I hope you and family are doing well. I might need to go back and read some of your older posts.
Thanks again for coming by....

OOO, and I meant to add this is a LOVELY giveaway. I would dearly love to win a cutie dress for my great-grandgirl, who is 3.
Thanks so much for the chance to win such a generous giveaway.:)

I'm so glad your little niece is doing okay. What a terribly horrifying thing for her & all of the family. I'm glad the man was caught.
These are some adorable little models wearing some adorably cute clothes.
