We have two winners to announce today! First, our friends at Taylored Expressions shared their beautiful For Her release and a $50 gift card with one of our readers. The winner is, (and you may want to get a tissue on hand for her comment):
“My mother taught me so many invaluable lessons that it’s hard to put it down to just one. And the lessons she taught me were taught more from the way she lived her life than her words. She was always giving to others even when it didn’t seem like we could afford it, always saying, “The Lord will provide”, and she was right. Growing up, there were often others staying with us, people who needed a temporary home for various reasons. She was the one who started the angel tree in our small town. I miss my mom very much, and I thank her for all that she taught me.” ~ Sharon A.
Last week, our friends at Bella Blvd gave us a sweet taste of spring by introducing their latest collection, Just Because, and gave away a collection kit for one lucky commenter! That person is:
“I have never received a special flower delivery, but I have plenty of plants outside to enjoy. This is such a lovely collection.”
