A Giveaway. Because I Love You.
And we need some fun.

Greetings, blog friends! How is your week going? I’ve been entertaining guests all week and getting ready for MOVE #2! No, I am not moving to another house. I am STILL MOVING to the same house we moved to in January.

Am I crazy? Insane? Yes.

I feel like I am the only person in the world who takes about six months to move from one house to another. Why, oh why, do my moves always seem so complicated? Sigh. Maybe moving is always complicated.

The good news is that my house in Portland has a sale pending, with a back up offer (that in itself feels like a miracle in this stinky economy).  Happy dance! So that means that I am finally going to start moving the rest of my belongings. Of course, a house sale is never over until it is over, but I’m ready for my stuff! It will feel like Christmas around here — sofas, chairs, accessories, oh my!

Meanwhile, I’m still dreaming up all sorts of ideas for what to do around my new house, so we’ll have some fun on the blog seeing things evolve! I’m going to be seeking your help too on some “issues” at my house. I’m getting my inspiration photos lined up and we’ll see what happens in the coming months!

Bear with me as I travel a few more times between Portland and Washington trying to get everything I own into one state. My brain is a little scattered too so hopefully I’ll be all in one piece soon.

I thought you all might want a little fun for a Thursday. I know I would. It has been a rough week for some folks I know both in blogland and in real life, so it just seems like a day to mix things up and have a giveaway.

In fact, let’s have TWO giveaways today!

As I mentioned last week, I’m a speaker at A Woman Inspired. I am planning on sharing the little adventure I have been on in the past year and half. I’m speaking along with Alli (Mrs. Fussypants) from Blissfully Domestic  (as a team) and we just want to chat with you all about how crazy life gets sometimes — especially lately with the stinky economy! We both had a wild year and a half (and it isn’t all over yet!).

This conference is just a chance to connect beyond these blogs and be real people with real life struggles, so I am looking forward to hanging out with you all. I’ll be in my jammies, sipping coffee and I hope you will be too!

GIVEAWAY #1

Hooray! I have THREE FREE TICKETS to the A WOMAN INSPIRED CONFERENCE to give away! If you would like to win one, let me know in the comments. Three winners for the tickets will be chosen Friday night March 27 at 9PM PST and I’ll email the winners.

For any one who would like to attend the A Woman Inspired Conference April 6-9 (did you know it is ONLINE, so you don’t have to dress up all fancy or fly anywhere!?), good news! The cost of the conference has been reduced to $12.95 for one week! That is a sweet deal. But that deal is only good until April 1, so hurry and get your ticket!

GIVEAWAY #2

A Free Tabletop Frame of your choice from Off the Wall! (if I was a blog wizard I could figure out how to get all those frames to line up side by side in this post, but I’m tired of trying — I am no blog wizard).

My blogging friend Melissa from Off the Wall has generously offered a reader one of her super cute free tabletop frames! Pictured are a few of the options, click on over to Off The Wall to pick the one you’d want from the tabletop series and then come on back and leave a comment on this post letting me know which one you’d choose if you win! Thanks Melissa!!

If you are on twitter or a blog, spread the news and I’ll enter you a second time!

Winner will be chosen Friday night the 27th  9PM PST…so only two days to enter!

THIS CONTEST POST IS NOW CLOSED! Winners will be notified asap! Thanks!

I hope you all have a great day!
See you all here tomorrow for Beautiful Life Friday!
We need to keep on finding the beauty in what we have right in front of us!
