What a joy it was to read all of your comments! I’m still smiling from the sweet levity of your childhood memories! I responded to each and every one of you, so please scroll down on the previous post to read my comments (my first response insists on posting itself below the second person’s comment for some reason, but they are all there!) How I wish I could send a copy of the Field Guide to Everyday Magic to each of you! Unfortunately I have only one. I did the drawing the old fashioned way, with tiny slips of folded paper in a basket and my daughter as my assistant. She has been randomly picking giveaway winners since she was barely two years old!
And the name she drew is:
Congratulations! I’ll be sending you an email momentarily to get your mailing address! The field guide will ship directly from Stampington, but the extra special goodies will come straight from me!
For those of you who didn’t win (I’m so sorry!), I have two bits of good news. First, there are more chances to win a copy of the field guide by visiting other blogs on the Field Guide to Everyday Magic Blog Hop. Secondly, I have a giveaway copy of Bella Grace Issue 12 for one of you! I’m not in Issue 12 (there was a last minute printing glitch and I got moved to Issue 13), but Stampington still sent me a giveaway copy that could soon be yours! For a chance to win it, please leave a comment below telling me your favorite way to spend a Saturday. I love Saturdays right now because I don’t have to rush out the door early in the morning. That means walks that last a bit longer, sunlight that feels even more magical, and some extra time to linger in the zinnia garden. How about you? The winner of a copy of Bella Grace Issue 12 will be chosen at random along with the help of my trusty assistant! Comments will remain open until 9pm Eastern time on August 17th, 2017. I’ll announce the winner the next day! Good luck!
COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED! PLEASE CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR THE WINNER!
UPDATE: THE WINNER MY DAUGHTER DREW OUT OF THE BASKET THIS TIME IS…TERESA!
Congratulations! I’ll send you an email now to get your mailing address!
My favorite Saturdays are spent outdoors, listening to the trickle of water in our garden fountain, enjoying the flowers, and watching the squirrels perform high wire acts as they make their way to the stash of peanuts I’ve left for them!
Saturdays for the past months really didn’t matter, healing from major for surgery I was home bound. Finally being able to go out I look forward to sunrises, birds finding their voice, the stillness, and stretching my foot to go a little further each day. This is a time for healing in more ways than one and being present in my life. Can’t wait to read your thoughts in issue 13. Enjoy your Saturday.
On Saturdays I fertilize and deadhead flowers in my yard. Other days are for other tasks, but this is my favorite, so I look forward to Saturdays! In the winter, I plan gardens and read garden books and catalogs on Saturdays. Thanks for the lovely blog! Terrific, pretty photos. Always a delight to visit!
