I'm so excited about this, because not only do I have SEVEN GIVEAWAYS, I also am trying something new with this giveaway...it's a unique spin on things and I explain that in the Vlog below!...
Another cool thing about this giveaway, is that I am featuring WAHM's (Work-At-Home-Moms)...so all these things are the works of a momma's hands! Yea!
(Because these are all by WAHM's some of these are kinda geared towards moms and little ones, so if that's not you, remember these could make great gifts!!!)
GIVEAWAY ITEMS:
(Update: EVERY giveaway has been unlocked! So we will have SEVEN winners! Keep spreading the word though...people can enter up until next Tuesday night!)
(Update: EVERY giveaway has been unlocked! So we will have SEVEN winners! Keep spreading the word though...people can enter up until next Tuesday night!)
(Check her facebook page out by using the link above. She has an amazing selection and great prices!)
This assortment includes 1 salve, 1 lip balm, 1 bath tea,
and 1 aromatherapy roll-on
and 1 aromatherapy roll-on
(Be sure to check out the rest of her selection on her blog! She has matching bibs, onsies and burp cloths as well as a really neat "portable highchair" and more! Very creative and chic selection!)
#3~A signed copy of Lynnette Kraft's book,
"In Faithfulness He Afflicted Me"
"In Faithfulness He Afflicted Me"
This book is an up-close, emotional look at Lynnette's life as she walked through the death of three of her children. Her journal entries are amazingly honest and raw...yet you don't feel discouraged or even "sorry" for her. If you're at all like me, you'll find yourself encouraged by her strength and spurred on by God's faithfulness and healing in her life! It's a book like no other and worth buying even if you don't "win" it for this giveaway!
#4~ Personalized Baby Bracelet by my friend Danielle
(here in my daughter's name, "Liberty")
(here in my daughter's name, "Liberty")
Upclose
On Liberty's hand:
(For information on how to order one of these darling (and affordable!) bracelets, send Danielle an e-mail at daremboldt@yahoo.com)
#5~1 fitted cloth diaper from my friend and fellow MOMYS at Angies Essentials
(Angie has all sorts of cloth diapering accessories at her site linked above! I love her selection because they are FUN, unique, homemade (of course) and are a display of her (and her helpers) awesome talents! Plus, your babies bottom will look oh-so-cute in an "Angie Essential"!)
#6~ "WAHMie" wet bag for cloth diapers
(or pool items if you don't use cloth diapers!)
*This WAHMie wet bag I bought at a second-hand maternity boutique
that is out of a momma's home, so not only is this wet bag made by WAHM's,
it was also sold to me by a WAHM! Doubly cool :)!

I hope I am doing this right, of course I am a follower! :) My favorites are #2 and #4!
Do I win a prize for being the first to comment? ;)
Grace, I 'follow' you!!!
And, my two favorite giveaways are the wet bag and the Passionate Housewives Desperate for God book!
What a good idea, although I must say that seeing your 'vlog' made me miss you like crazy. No more vlogging, okay?!?
Ooooh! This is sooo exciting! It was so cool to get to hear you in person. I feel like I know you all the more now! I "follow" you and my two favorites are the Passionate housewives book and Cheryl's products. I plan on mentioning you on my blog too so I should be back!
Okay! It's on my blog too!!!
I just headed over from Lynnette's blog, you did a wonderful job Vlogging!
I am now a follower. my favorite giveaway items are the personalized baby blanket and Lynnette's book! :0)
I mentioned your giveaway on my facebok page as well. :0)
I'm a follower! I like the two books, the Passionate Housewives and He Afflicted Me. I've been wanting to read He Afflicted Me since I heard about it.
I am a follower & I like the "Passionate Housewives Desperate For God" giveaway as well as the "Cupcake Kisses" giveaway.
I mentioned your giveaway on my blog
http://makersacres.blogspot.com/2010/03/contest-giveaway-extravaganza.html
I posted your giveaway in my Facebook status :)
I follow your blog. I am interested in Cheryl's products and Angie's diapers. Although, it was hard to decide :)
I Tweeted your giveaway on Twitter (look for RettaRoxx to verify)
Surprise! Oh wait, you aren't surprised... that's just what I normally say so I did it out of habit. (Well, actually I did it to be silly - but you knew that didn't you?)
Anyway...
I think this is a totally fun feature! I'm excited for others to discover your blog, because it is so cute! (and so are YOU by the way)
Your vlog was amazing! I loved it! You are WAY better at it than me. I might try again sometime because I'm determined to figure out how to do it without feeling like a complete dork.
Well, I'm off to bed. Have fun meeting some chums.
Love,
Lynnette
I stopped by from Lynnette's blog. This is such a fun giveaway and I loved your Vlog you are so cute! So I just became a follower and I would have to say although I like all of the options, that I like the cupcake kisses and cloth diaper the best. But I really had a hard time choosing since they are all so great.
Thanks for entering me :)
Becky
OK, I put your link on my blog too! :) I'm crossing my fingers!

I am a follower. I like #2 & #7
Hey, I'm visiting from Lynnette's blog and I'm so glad I did! Not just because of the giveaway's either. :)
I am now a follower and my two top choices are LYNNETTE'S BOOK!! and then the fitted cloth diapers. :) I have a 15 month old baby boy. We have terry cloth diapers and one fleece one my friend made and the fleece is my favorite!!
~Heather
I facebooked about it. :)
I tweeted, my Twitter name is Heathymom :)
I'm a new follower - thanks to Lynnette!!! What a great Vlog & blog.
My favorite giveaways are #2 & #3. My cousin just had her 1st child and this would make the PERFECT gift. As for #3, I've been wanting Lynnette's book for quite a while. What better than an AUTOGRAPHED copy to read! Woo hoo!!!!
Many blessings,
Allison
Grace is am now a follower of you blog. I like the cupcake kisses and the personalized blaket. I came over from MOMYS! Thanks for the fun.
Visiting from Lynnette's (getting to know you) wanted to say Hi!
I like #'s 2 & 3
I'm becoming a follower too!
My dear Gracie! I totally agree with Dollie...your Vlog made me miss you so much! I could have just cried. Anyway, of course, I am a follower of your blog. For a long time you were the only blog I ever even read and pretty much you are the one that inspired me to start blogging myself. I love all of your giveaways...they are so fun, and I think it is VERY hard to choose just two...but since that is the name of the game. I choose number 4 the bracelet (only with Bella's name of course! hehehe) and number 7 the book "Passionate Housewives Desperate for God"
Now do you think it would count for me to be in Lynnette's giveaway if I did check you out on her blog today and I am a follower of her blog, so I guess you could say I am here from her blog...but in all honesty I check in here everyday! I will let you decide on that one Lynnette!
My house is finally awake and I was able to watch the Vlog, you are to dang cute. I may one day have to nerve to Vlog myself. I also forgot to mention my 2 favorite giveaways in last post. (Now following also)
1: I love the first giveaway. I love little things to pamper myself and my daugther (4years old) also enjoys little things to do with mommy and this seems mild enough to share with her.
2: I have been waiting and wanting Lynnettes book for a while now. If I could win it, even better. If I don't win it then you bet, you will see me buying it, FINALLY.
Thank you for hosting such a great giveaway party!

Oh and I forgot to tell you that I did a blog about you today and your giveaway encouraging everyone to come over and check you out. I am not sure I have tons of readers of my own blog so I am not sure if it will create much traffic for you but it is worth a shot...and doesn't it enter me twice into your giveaway?? :) Hugs friend!
I am a follower of your blog. This was my first visit. Spotted your post on Momys. My top choices are #3 and #5.
Thanks,
Shavon
What a great idea Grace! I love your blog update! It looks fantastic! Seeing your video just made me want to cry though. It was great, but it made me miss you SO MUCH!!!!!!! I hope to see you in person soon and give you a big hug!!!!
~Mandy
I just posted your link on my facebook page too! Thank you for the easy ways to enter.

I shared about your blog and giveaway on Facebook, too!
Hello there! I'm visiting from Lynnette's blog! Your blog is lovely! And congratulations on being featured!! =]
♥Morgan
This is such a neat idea Grace! How fun :)
I am a follower and I like Cupcake Kisses and Angie's fitted diaper (of course I think it is all pretty neat ;)
I am now a follower of your blog. I would love to be entered for the cupcake kisses and Lynette's book. Thanks!
I'll be back again later, but just wanted to say congrats foe being the featured blogger today!! Yay!!
I will be entering the contest, but I tried to follow your blog, but that's not working for the moment, so I'll be back to do that. I will do some of the other options too, once children are in bed tonight. :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! I had already opened your blog this morning, but haven't had a chance to sit here at the computer since. I know you know how that is. LOL
I just stopped by to visit from Lynettes! I love your blog!
I posted your blog on my Facebook page :)
Grace- I love your blog!! I'm a follower!
I posted your blog on Facebook! I love the diapers and the bracelet..and the book...and everything else!!
I signed up to follow you, and have posted about your giveaway on my facebook status. I haven't put it on my blog yet, but I will! I love giveaway numbers 1,3 and 7! Oh, and I'm visiting from Lynette's blog!
I am visiting from Lynnette's :) GREAT job on your vlog! :) it was super cute. I watched the whole thing. :)
Grace, of course I "follow" your blog :) I really like the baby bracelet and the baby quilt... both so cute for our little Moriah to-be, and Liberty is an excellent model
I'll come back to leave the extra comments about my blog and my Facebook... I think that's what I should do right?! As far as Twitter goes, Matt and I enjoy embracing a life pretty clueless to most technology and Twitter still blows our minds... right along with other gadgets like iPhones, iPads, etc. :) two people out of touch are meant to be together I suppose!
So I think this earns me another "entry"?! maybe...
http://lauraslouisvillelife.blogspot.com/2010/03/giveaway-but-not-here.html
I'm a follower! My two favorite giveaways are the Cupcake Kisses one and the baby bracelet one. :)
I'm a follower of your blog now. Nice to meet you! I love meeting other pastor's wives and homeschooling moms! :)
I love giveaways #1 and 7... but if I won the diapering stuff, I'd give it to my sister who just found out she's pregnant and she wants to cloth diaper. She'd love that!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself! how fun that you read about our family... it will be nice to connect more often through our blogs!
God BLess!
