Post Valentine's Day Giveaway

GIVEAWAY RESULTS:
There were 26 entries -- I used Random.org and the winning number was 7 which makes YOLANDA (SILVERCLOUD7) the winning entry -- She chose the first heart wreath here with the eucalyptus and seashells.  Congrats to Yolanda and thank you everyone for your entries.  Check back as I may have another giveaway soon.

I promised to do another giveaway in February -- and here it is.

I will let the winner choose one from these three heart wreaths in my shop provided they don't sell in the meanwhile. I suppose if they all sell -(don't expect that to happen) - I'll have to come up with an alternative offer. 

Heart twig wreath

This one above is one of my favorites -- seashells and eucalyptus on a rustic twig wreath frame.

beach themed heart wreath

This one above is pretty too.  Seashells and green moss frame this twig heart frame.

New Year, New Direction and a Giveaway

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.  THE WINNER IS MIKAYLA MAGER.  WATCH FOR MY NEXT GIVEAWAY IN FEBRUARY.

It's been a while.  I guess I have been busy elsewhere.  It's 2014!  What does this new year hold.  New years are great because it's a time to clear the slate and start anew.  We look back at our year, make adjustments for the future and then we should forget about our mistakes and failings and look ahead with great hope and resolve for the year ahead.  This year I plan to put my Etsy shop on the back burner and focus on my walk with the Lord and how I can be a blessing to others.

Psalm 19:14

The scripture art above is from Google Graphics on Etsy

This is a new thing for me --not that the Lord hasn't been in my life but as for the past 4 years my shop has absorbed much of my spare time and energy.  I feel the Lord is now requiring more of me.  Should I resent that?  I think not.  I might if I continue with my shop and don't have the time for it.   I don't want my shop to be competing for the limited time that I have for what the Lord would have me doing.

Printable Scripture
The above printable scripture is from Amen Printables on Etsy

  Let's face it -- my time is limited.   I work a part time job outside the home, attend church 2 nights a week along with Sunday morning and night.    Something has to go.   Looking back over 2013, I feel that my time has been compromised and at times, I have been called to other things when I wanted to be working on my items for my shop.  It has been a tug of war for my time.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Here is my 3 point focus for 2014:

1. Spend quality time with the Lord each day.

2. Focus on helping others -- by expanding and leading our church food and clothing ministry.
I have been involved with this ministry but I am realizing that it needs much more time. 

3. Diversify my blog -- making my posts not so single-minded.  Post about other things that are important to me like my family, and what the Lord is doing in my life.

Will I return at some point to focus on my Angels-n-Everlastings Etsy shop?  Who knows.
For now I am tired and unmotivated and I am bored with everything in my shop.

So, I think I will give it away - at least some of it.  Here is a good listing to start with:

Beach Seashell Wreath

Giveaway - Beach Lover Photo Frame

I think I will have a giveaway!  Here is one of my 4 by 6" beach lover photo frames.  This one happens to have a photo of my daughter in it but I will replace it with a beach scene photo or you can add a special photo of your own.   This daughter is going to be twenty this month and she doesn't like her photo posted.

 The photo frame is sponged with aqua blue and sand colored paint and then embellished with assorted seashells and sea glass.  If you'd like to see more of my beach home decor visit my Etsy shop here.

I'll try to keep this simple.  I know you hate when you have to jump through loops to enter giveaways.

Leap Day Giveaway - Dried flower grapevine wreath

Before I get into my giveaway -- I'd like to announce the one chosen for my next blog feature.  I used Random.org to choose from those who commented on my feature of Zudagay on Etsy.   The next shop to be featured will be Kelly Bermudez Visual Devotions.  I'm not sure exactly when this will be posted but watch for this feature some time in March.

 NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY

On February 29th, I will choose a winner of this pretty, one of a kind, grapevine wreath. decorated with pretty shades of grey and pink.   Deep pink celosa, pink larkspur, and other mixed dried flowers sit on a silver king and eucalyptus base.  The grapevine base is 10 to 12" - The design is approximately 14" across.  This is so pretty, I think I'd really like to keep this for myself
