Our 1 Year Anniversary!!!

YAY!!!  We are so excited it has been exactly 1 year we have been blogging and sharing what has been going on in our family with you dear readers, and what a year it has been!

Some of you know we are in the process of moving to TN and it has (and still is) a long road as many things keep us here in CA for the time being, so we are packing and getting rid of lots of things and trying to wait as patiently as we can until the Lord opens the doors to TN!

Now about our anniversary……….

To celebrate we are having a giveaway, but not your ordinary giveaway……… Miss Antoinette will be giving away one of her lovely hand embroidered hankies with the winner’s personalized monogram on it!   She will use the lovely font like the one she made that she posted about HERE (and pictured above) and the winner can pick the colors for their monogram!

To Enter~ Leave one comment for each entry please, thank you!

1 entry~ leave us a comment saying you wish to enter!

2 entries~ post about it on your blog! Please spread the word about our giveaway!

3 entries~ follow our blog

The last day of entering our giveaway is this coming Saturday (April 10th) and the winner will be announced on Monday the 12th!  So spread the word!!!!

We hope you have a wonderful day and that all is well with all our readers!  Let us know what you have been up to as of late! :)

Many Blessings,
