It's been giveaway central over here, and I'm not even finished. I think gift-giving is my love language, and plus I have a bunch of really talented friends to tell you about next week.
In the meantime, I am meditating on this...
Looking forward to this...
Studying these:
(for the new musical Adam and I are writing for Spotlight Youth Theater...)
Preparing for this:
...and choosing paint colors because I'm gonna KILL my ugly living room this weekend.
I feel like the resting I've done lately has been really good for me...who knows, maybe it's good to power off the brain every once in awhile.
Anyway, remember a little while ago, I announced this:
And I told you I was going to award some awesome prizes?
By the way, that necklace has gotten a LOT of comments and I am just as in love with it as you are!
Even if you don't win, you should RUN check out Beth's website because her jewelry is GORGEOUS!
Anyway, I had some amazing entries, and I'm always so excited to run around the internet and see what you guys are creating!! I sort of want to pack everything up and scrapbook today...doesn't that sound fun? :) Thank you to everyone who entered!
While it WAS difficult, I've chosen three winners...so those prizes will be divvied up and awarded to the following...
First Place: Cresta Woodruff:
I just fell in love with the enlarged photo and this color palette. The doiley is perfect with the gray, black and salmon colors and the sentiment is pure Sweethaven. Cherish those old friends...they are such a gift!
Second prize goes to Deanna Koontz:
The thing I really loved was something Deanna wrote in her blog entry. She said of her husband "Darrel is my happy place." I can so relate to that, and I loved the way she captured it here...the layout is so beautifully put together.
Finally, I couldn't steal this image, but go check out Dana Cheney's layout. I love the patchwork chevrons and the way Dana included several photos on this page. What a great idea!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and if you won (YAY YOU!) send your address to me at courtneyrwalsh{at}gmail{dot}com (don't forget the R in there!) and I'll get your prizes out!
Speaking of prizes...you might be wondering about my other giveaways...
The Winner of The Studio Calico September Kit (and a signed copy of one of my books) is: Miriam Pranther!
The Winner of the Three Memory Verse CDs (or Schoolhouse Rock for the Bible) is: Shannan Martin (What?! I swear I am using a random number generator and it pulled out my homegirl's ever-lovin' name?)
The Winner of Brave Girl Art School is Terri at Create Scrapbooks:
You lucky winners need to send me your addresses (or email addresses) too! (send to: courtneyrwalsh{at}gmail{dot}com and I'll get those taken care of too!
Thanks so much for playing along...and for hanging around here...and for telling people about my books. I'm having one of those sappy, grateful moments again. I better sign off before I start blubbering.
What are you doing this weekend?
