Givin' Away!!!

 There were many things that 'got' me through the winter.

God's grace.

Curious George.

Developing Imaginations.

Cardboard boxes and other non-toy items.

Play Dough.

Nap times.

Legos.

Early bedtimes.

Baths.

Bread and Chowder.

Warm slippers.

Coffee.

Creamer.

Chocolate.

Did I mention the Grace of God?

and...

YOU!

 Please, let me tell you how!

I love writing (when inspired to do so) and while this blog serves as the official 'baby book' for all of my children, it also has afforded me the gift of sharing my life with people I know and love...as well as those wonderful women who I have met through this medium.

I am serious when I say that people like Liz, Sarah, Debi and Leanne (and many more!!!), whom I have never met in person, have become refreshers of my heart..and have kept me so encouraged.

And thus...in the spirit of celebrating winter's end AND the fact that my readers added so much joy throughout the bleak midwinter, I am happy to announce the

I SURVIVED WINTER GIVEAWAY!

I want to keep this simple and sweet. 

Your chance for winning has been increased since I am giving away 2 Gift Sets of things that I have been tempted to keep for myself I like 'em so much! 

They are not extravagant, but even a little something new to add to home and hearth is a welcome treat for me. I hope you think so too.

 

Spring Give Away 1

~The Williams and Sonoma Spring Set~

Their hand lotion is my favorite, and the newest scent smells JUST like the ocean! It will transport you to a seaside place. Also, their adorable, sturdy pastel measuring spoons will making baking a prettier task! And, I'm offering an upgraded favorite bribe treat for the children...Spring Pops! They are adorable and will be sure to quiet whiny children or their mothers/aunts/caretakers/acquaintances. 

Spring Give Away 2

~ Beautiful Reminders~

Let the breeze from your open windows carry the scent of lilacs throughout your home as you enjoy the spring edition of "Life:Beautiful", one of my favorite magazines. It is chock full of pretty, pretty pictures and inspiring writings. Also, I love removable lettering and have a few heart-lightening phrases placed around my home. The one I am giving away reads "Every Day Holds the Possibility of a Miracle". It's true, you know!

All you need to do is leave a comment describing one way you 'survived winter' on the NEW COMMENT FORM, which my dear, dear husband installed for me! I am SO excited about this (thank you, For His Glory, for the recommendation), as I will be able to easily 'converse' with my Coffee Cottage friends! This is what I have been wishing for!! An added perk is that you do not need a google account to sign in! 

It should be nice 'n easy!!! 

The Giveaway will be open until Monday Night, April 25th.

Thank you SO much, whether I know you, of you or have yet to 'meet' you, for taking time to visit the 
Coffee Cottage. 

You truly have been a bright spot...not just this winter, but all year 'round!
