Let's Celebrate With A GIVEAWAY!!!

I can hardy believe it...I have reached just over 500 posts since I started blogging back in August of 2008! Since that time, I have met so many wonderful bloggers who have become my sounding board, my personal cheerleaders, my prayer warriors and, most of all, my FRIENDS! I can't begin to tell you how much you all have come to mean to me...and I just want to say THANK YOU for your friendship and your loyalty!

So, what better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than with a GIVEAWAY? Are you game?

Now, back in November, one of my good bloggy friend, Jen, had a giveaway on her blog. Unfortunately, I wasn't the lucky winner, but I fell in love with the product that she was giving away. Have you ever heard of the ETSY shop called Rosie Posie Designs? Oh.My.Word!Ashley, the owner, creates the most beautiful and unique personalized (Melamine) trays I've ever come across. Each one is custom made according to the specifications of the customer. For Christmas this year, I had Ashley create 2 trays; one for my mother-in-law and one for my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is a diehard Steelers fan, so I had her create a tray especially for him. Here's the end result...

Needless to say, he LOVED it! It will be the perfect addition to his Super Bowl party, I'm sure!

Now, feast your eyes on some of the other gorgeous trays Ashley has created. I love all the bright colors and patterns! So many different styles and fonts to choose from!



Another great thing about these trays is that each one is dishwasher safe! Ashley will work closely with you to help you design a tray that you are 100% satisfied with.

Unfortunately, this giveaway is open only to those who live in the Continental U.S. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. IF you feel so inclined, please feel free to mention my giveaway on your blog for one extra entry and come back and leave another comment telling me you did so. If you don't have a blog, please be sure to leave your contact info. in your comment. I will use Random. org to pick a winner tomorrow morning and I will announce it on my blog soon, thereafter.

So, best of luck to each and every one of you! Who knows, I might even include a few extras to "sweeten" the pot! A big shout-out to Ashley for her willingness to assist me with the wonderful giveaway! THANK YOU!

i found you through Life with Kaishon. I'm a mom to two girls in Atlanta, too.

I'm a big runner and read all about your awesome track star. If it's any encouragement, I had to walk off of my track team because of the coach--more than 75% of us on the team did that and a year later they found a new coach. It killed my collegiate career but it kept me from burning out and allowed me to be a competitive runner for the ATC now.

I also read about your daughter going off to college and cried thinking about my daughter going away...and she's only 2.5!

Anyway, thanks for the great giveaway and sorry for the looong comment. My email is in my profile!

April, you are one awesome blogger. That's a lot of posts...I might be right behind you, I'm not sure. I always enjoy reading about your family. It's nice to know someone else is out there experiencing the blues when babies leave.
