Encouraging words of the day:
You are full of incredible potential. When God created you, He deposited seeds of greatness inside of you. He’s given you your own dreams and desires. You have something to offer that no one else has.
A year ago I didn’t even know what a blog was. I had heard of blogs but didn’t even know how to access one, much less create my own. I would never have thought that I'd be blogging.. and having a giveaway. I don’t even remember exactly how I started blogging other than reading about a giveaway while surfing the web. One of the requirements for the giveaway was that I have a blog address so I, somehow, stumbled through creating one and now , reading the blogs of all the new friends I’ve made this last year is how I start my day. I’ve learned so much from you, my blogging friends. You are so full of good ideas, tips, and encouragement. Thank you.
About the giveaway:
School has started in many places. One of the most exciting things for me when school was starting was my brand new box of 8 Crayola Crayons. So, thinking along that vein and about my giveaway, I ordered 8 batik fat quarters from Connecting Threads in the same original colors found in the box of 8 Crayola Crayons, red – green – blue – yellow – orange – purple – brown – black. Also included is a spool of 100% Egyptian Cotton Thread, a fall leaves table mat I made for the giveaway and the box of crayons.
