MY FIRST GIVE AWAY....DURING THIS MONTH OF LOVE!!


We all know February is the month of LOVE.   So for all you faithful followers out there; I am going to do my first little give away.  Although modest in nature; there cards were lovingly made by moi, and I wanted to pass them onto someone out there to enjoy.


I've also enclosed one of my favorite little inspirational books entitled "Inner Simplicity", which is a message I hope to impart with my posts.  


You will also find a few other little sweet things thrown in.  How to enter....you might ask?


l.  Simply leave a post below.

2.  I would love it if you would follow me; but it is not necessary.
(Although I will enter your name twice if you do)

3.  In your post let me know what you LOVE about this month of LOVE!

4.  Mention my give away on your blog and your name will be entered yet again in the drawing.

I don't know how to do a random number generator, so the winner will be drawn the old fashioned way.

I REALLY AM AN OLD FASHIONED KIND OF GAL!!

THE WINNER WILL BE DRAWN ON FEBRUARY l6th AFTER THE LOVE-IN HAS ENDED!!!!


Blessings to you all,

  2. Josette,
    Well, I didn't make the Friday deadline but your swap package is on its way!Should arrive on Thursday. I went to mail it and discovered I hadn't taken all the pictures and then when I went to take the pictures, I had left the camera in the car at -5 degrees for a week. Consequently it took a whole day to get the camera to work, so I hope you are not too worried about just a day or so and when you open your surprise, I hope that you will be blessed!
    I opened my box!!!!! I love everything! You did your homework girl and I am anxious to use all my great stuff!!! My hubby is so cute, he can't believe we do this kinda stuff and he is so happy that the internet is being used for something so personal and encouraging and downright FUN!!!!. Did you take the pictures of my box and will you post both boxes or just the one you sent?! Thank You for everything my dear friend. Blessings Meg

  7. Hi Grama Soul..
    I would love to be entered in your give away..your cards are just beautiful.
    I'm already a follower and I will post about your giveaway on my sidebar.
    I think what I like most about February, is that a bit of gardening preparation can begin, for not onle is there Valentines Day to celebrate,spring will soon be here.For some reason, winter has been rough for me this year,and ooo,I welcome spring.
    I just finished my first giveaway this past Saturday,and I drew the names the old fashioned way as well. I had no clue how to do the random generator and it worked just fine..
    Crossing my fingers that I win those pretties..

  10. I'm so far away and mail is never certain to arrive this side of the world. How about if I enter, and if I win, then your lovely crafted gifts could be sent to my aunt or cousin in Michigan ???? I'll be there this summer. I love little books like the one you've posted and am on a daily quest for inner simplicity. :) Have a great day! Tammy

  11. Feb is traditionally the month of love both in the western world and in the eastern (where I live, although I'm really on the equator!). I wish the feeling of being loved goes around to more people and continues to even after Feb. You have an interesting blog. Love the images you've posted.

    Yes, now I'm a follower of your lovely blog. :)

  22. Hello Josette,
    I just discovered your blog; I love your cards, so beautiful. I signed up to follow you; come visit me.

    What do I love about February..that it reminds us to, do be kind, to follow our heart, take care of our heart, give from the heart and most important Love. It reminds us of Love in all facets. I always give Valentines; they might not be extravagant, but they are always heartfelt. Don't you love that art is in HeART!

  23. Hi Josette. I was visiting Dawn at The Feathered Nest and saw her post about your giveaway. Of course I know Dawn and she always shows us the most beautiful giveaways and when I saw the gorgeous cards you made well I knew I had to visit. I'd love to be entered in your giveaway. And I'm a new follower but after visiting your blog I would have been one even without an extra entry.

    I've been sick the past couple of days and just trying to visit blogland every now and then but I plan on posting about your giveaway as soon as possible.

    Hugs...Tracy

    P.S. If you couldn't tell, I adore these cards! So cute!!! Please add me to your giveaway.

    Here, down under, February is summer, sun and fun. Thinking of love used to be just me & my partner, but now, love includes our 2 kids. It is nice to be able to see how our love grow and developed and in such a wonderful way.

    What I like about Feb./Val. is that it is a reason to openly display affection - and even males have to get involved...

  31. Oh, such beautiful cards!! I especially love the one with all the glitter highlights :) My favorite thing about this month is all the Pink everywhere! My guilty pleasure of the month is all the cute little lingerie pieces that come out (that I could never wear in a million years, but love to look at anyway!) :)

  34. I forgot to mention why I love Valentines Day. I think its because its one time in the whole year that people reach out to someone they love and care about and show them how much they mean to them. To tell them they love them and to celebrate that love.

  39. What a wonderful giveaway! I'm lovin' those sweet little cards! This Ozarks chick always gets excited about a great giveaway. Yep, I love giveaways. I love the big old candy heart my Hubby brings in each year. We share, he eats the darks and I eat the milk chocolates. I love the funny cards he picks out. I love February because we are that much closer to spring. I love surprisin' my eight grandkiddos with special sweets.

    Ya'll have a great day filled with 'sweet' blessings!!!

  40. Ahhhhhh....Inner simplicity~what an idea to strive for! Valentine's Day comes at a time of the year when it is most welcome. In the midst of our snowy winter here in Minnesota it is most fun to celebrate the love and joy others bring to our lives!!
    Thank you for the opportunity to win your selection of gifts!!
    Joyfully........~Sandie

  41. What a lovely giveaway. I would like to be entered and thrilled if I won.

    Pretty much the only thing I like about this month is that it has a day referred to as Valentines.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
