Okay; I'm a day late and very sorry to keep you waiting. I couldn't decide WHAT to give away... And when I come back to post today --- I see I have, not 100 followers, but 102 followers! Do you know how long I've dreamed of having over 100 followers to this blog. I know it's silly, but how great to know that 100 people care whether or not I post! It's encouraging and such a blessing!
So now (drumroll please) for the items I will be giving away --- If you've noticed the quote under the title of my blog - "Making a Splash":
"What you are passionate about was created in you to make a splash in this life that no one else can make. Make it. Make it now." -- Nicole Johnson
...that quote comes from the book by Nicole Johnson, Fresh-Brewed Life. I attended a Women of Faith Conference in 1999 when this book came out (or sometime shortly after); I heard Nicole Johnson speak, and purchased a copy of this book signed by the author, "for Deborah - celebrate life! -- Nicole". What a treasure this book is to me and what an inspiration it has been over the years. Nicole is an actress, an author and a popular speaker who travels nationally with the Women of Faith team. She of course knows nothing about me or this post, but I hope she won't mind if I give away an extra copy I happen to have of this wonderful book. I picked up an extra paperback version, simply because I love this book so much.
So I want to share this book and its message with one of you.
In addition to that, I will send you a journal, handmade by me; a new Pitt super fine black pen, which is my favorite - this one is brand new never opened; and chartreuse and rhodamine (yummy colors) Prismacolor double-ended markers. Have fun and wake up your soul :-)
Just leave me a comment and I will put your names in a hat and have my very wonderful daughter pull one out. Make sure to include information so that I can contact you to let you know if you are the recipient.
Starting now....
The giveaway will be announced on Friday, March 9.
