Finally....My Giveaway!

~*~This giveaway is now closed~*~

Since Labor Day signifies the final days of summer...I thought it was about time to host my "Summer Appreciation Giveaway!" I think you've all been patient enough! 

Before we get started though......I wanted to share with you a few things that I "appreciate"...

~ "Faith"... and the comfort of knowing that we are being watched over and guided along the way even when that very faith is tested time and time again....

~"Love".... from  family and friends. Without you, it would be difficult to weather those "storms" that are a part of this thing we call "life"...

~"Blessings"... like a roof over our heads......food on our table...and clothes on our backs.....

~"Time".......precious "time" to share laughter, tears, joy and pain with those we love. May we never take it for granted.....

~And....."Gifts"....not the tangible ones but rather those that can only be felt with the heart. Aren't they the best kind, after all?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now.....my "appreciation" gifts for you...


A set of my signature, hand stamped, coverless book bundles....

..."La Plus Belle"....

Safe....

I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers and genuine concern for us here on the East Coast as we endured Tropical Storm Irene. I am happy to report that all of my loved ones are safe and sound! There were many, however, that received serious damage to their homes and properties and some, sadly, whose lives were lost because of this terrbile storm. I am sure they and their families would appreciate your continued prayers.
Merci mes amies!!
