GO! Baby giveaway

I'm sooooo excited to be hosting this giveaway today. The fine folks at AccuQuilt are allowing me to giveaway a GO! Baby cutting system and 3 dies (your choice!) to one of my readers. To enter, please leave ONE comment on this post. In your comment I'd like to include 3 things that you are thankful for.
Here's my list:
1. I'm thankful that my kids are playing reasonably well together today. That means mama gets some time to sew! Yipee!
2. I'm thankful for a great weekend with my husband, kids and good friends.
3. I'm thankful that we are already enjoying fresh veggies from the garden. What a treat!

Happy Monday to you! And good luck!

Keriann said...

I won't number them because they are not in any particular order and of course my faith and heavenly father are always #1 but today in particular I am grateful for:

*my talents. they are god given and I am grateful for the outward talents (crafty etc..) as well as the inward talents (to love, to discern etc..)

*I am grateful for my children. My oldest, 13, is my greatest struggle at this point in my life. He left 2 days ago to spend a week at grandmas in another state and I am already so very aware of the immense blessings he brings to my life! (side note the calming break as been a blessing as well lol)

*this week I've been reminded that service is the key. I am grateful for the opportunities I've been given to serve others!

i wrote about that here if you're curious: http://oursimpkinsfamily.blogspot.com/2011/06/service.html

Thank you for the chance to share my gratitude with others!! :)

I'm thankful for having a job that allows me to have two summer months "off" so I can spend more time with my boys. I'm also thankful that both of my boys were well-behaved today during a LONG trip to the children's hospital for a check up, which included lots of tests (and us having to leave home at 6:30am to get to our appointment). And I'm thankful that the bribe I used on my youngest son to keep him in check at the hospital worked! That new Wii game was well worth it!
