funsucker giveaway: the peice de resistance
I wasn't in a writing mood this morning.
I was in more of a giveaway kinda mood.
So it's been a while. But I'll be honest: If you read, you know I've been super busy with some other things going on in my life.
I'm having a major giveaway to make up for it.
TWO winners.
Jamin and I have been really blessed. We all have been blessed in more ways than we can count. Chalk up this rambling entry to some hormones, if you want. But I just know that we have a lot to be thankful for. All of us do. No matter what hardships we currently face.
This may sound silly, but this blog has been a major blessing for me. In the past 3 years, in my journey and stuggles as a mom, I've learned a lot about myself, and I'll just leave it at that.
I'm tired of reading about giveaways with provisions placed on them. I'm really confused on how many entries I get if I email, facebook, or repost about them. I'm not bashing. I just don't want provisions on this one.
Sometimes its good to give things away, simply beacuse it makes you feel good. This giveaway will benefit the winners (If you LIKE the items and I'm assuming you will if you enter...) But I'll be honest. This giveaway benefits me more than anyone, because sometimes it feels good to make someone happy.
For the girls we have...
plaque handpainted by yours truly. Measures 16" x 12"


Got a boy? I'm not biased.
Original oil painting by me.
19" x 16"
No provisions. Just rules: Play Nice.
Each reader may have two entries. One for a boy. One for a girl.
Please do not leave multiple comments for one gender.
If you don't have kids, then simply win it and save it, or pay it forward.
If you don't have a boy and just a girl, enter for the boy anyway, if you want.
Give it to a friend. Just tell them where you got it. ;)
Leave me two seperate comments. Start each comment with the word Boy or Girl. It doesn't matter when you enter. I will be doing this the old fashioned way...wadded up peices of paper in a hat!
Contest ends Thursday June 4th at 7:00 P.M. Central time. I will announce the winners by 8. Contact me via email with your shipping info. Good luck and happy commenting!

Please read:
Guys-Sorry I'm having to moderate these comments. A few of you have misunderstood. It makes it easier for me to select a number and match it to the numbered entry if you each do it as I requested. ;)
ONE per gender.
Two entries.
That means One girl entry. One boy entry.
That's all.
Put GIRL in front of the girl entry, and BOY in front of the boy entry.
Please go back and double check to make sure you are still entered one each, if that is what you wish, as I had to moderate a few. Thank you!
