The Final Giveaway Winner and A Big Announcement!

July 31, 2009 AT 12:37 pm 8 Comments

I can’t believe that this is my last giveaway!

I want to thank everyone who participated!  It has been a joy to make these little gingerbread families for each of the winners.

My boys have done a great job helping me announce the winners each week, but for the final giveaway, I wanted to do it myself!

Here I am with the last, lonely little giveaway bag.  There were about 20 more names added to this week’s bag.

CONGRATULATIONS, GINA @ Shabby Chic Cottage!  I will be contacting you for some information.

Thanks again for participating and leaving such sweet comments on my blog.  I have read EACH and EVERY  one of them!

Now, if you didn’t win, you may be interested in my

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

HERE IT IS…

I am offering my Gingerbread Family Ornaments for 50% off during the month of August for all of my wonderful Beneath My Heart followers!

I just opened my Etsy shop a few months ago, and I haven’t sold any of my ornaments…yet!   So I thought this might be a way to get my business going. 

When you place your order, just let me know in the NOTE TO SELLER section what  names you would like on the ornament and how long it needs to be.

My listing is for a family of four, but I can make it as long as you’d like.  I tried to take pictures this morning of longer families, but they didn’t turn out good and I have to take the boys to a movie this afternoon…I promised!

So here are some pictures just for you to look at to get an idea of what each family would look like.  Of course, these are not personalized, but they would be for you!

Family of three…you can see the detail on the ornaments best in this picture.  The others didn’t turn out as good.

Family of one…great for a couple expecting their first child!

Family of four…

These make ADORABLE gifts for grandparents.  The longer the ornament, the cuter!

The gingerbread men and boys are decked out in green polka-dot bow ties, and the women and girls are sporting pretty red polka-dot bows on their heads.

Since my Etsy listing is for a family of four, I will adjust your Paypal invoice to have it match your order (if you are ordering a smaller or larger family.)

Any questions, please contact me at [email protected].

Blessings,

Traci

A few weeks ago, in the early morning, my boys and I caught a glimpse of a beautiful sight in our back yard!

Yep, deer!  A beautiful Mama deer and her baby were right outside our back door.

They pranced out of our backyard and onto our land on the other side of our fence.

Then the baby took off across our field.

Mama went after her little baby.

They quickly crossed the road and took off through the bushes.

This is why I LOVE where I live.  We get to enjoy little surprises like this quite often.

We have a big fat raccoon that likes to get in our trash if we leave it out.  That would probably make some people mad, but it cracks me up!  And of course we have rabbits, birds, and squirrels galore!

I love sharing our land with God’s beautiful little creatures!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Blessings,

Traci
