SWEET SUMMERTIME GIVE-AWAY



Soon we will begin our summer progress to our little spot up North....but before we leave I wanted to have a small give-away for all my dear followers and perhaps anyone who would like to become a follower of my little spot on the internet.

To begin with An Entire Year's worth of Romantic Country for the year 2011.  It is truly one of my favorite magazines and I always save all my copies as I never know when I will need a beautiful picture or two.  In case you aren't familiar with this publication....each issue is $7.99 on the newstand.


Second.......this wonderful little bag....I picked up on an Alaskan cruise.  I brought home several as gifts for friends....and had an extra....so it is for you.


Here is the front....and here is the inside...


I really thought these bags were cute and so different....

and last.... soap and fragrance AMAZING GRACE from Philosophy.....it is my absolute favorite scent in their line.


O.K.    Here is the deal.....

Leave a comment....one chance
Post about or pull any one of the photos for your side bar....
two chances
Become a new follower....for a third chance

It is not necessary for anyone to become a new follower...but it will increase your chances of being chosen...and I love meeting new Bloggers.

Give away ends Sunday, May 13th....Mother's Day.....

Good Luck to all 

Hugs from here.

Jo

    Is that YOUR wagon? Its gorgeous! those are the colors of my room LOL, also one of my favorite quotes. I'd love to post it my sidebar. I'm following already and commenting because I love to comment here as you know LOL. I think I will take up on this giveaway, my first to participate in, because I've been wanting magazines this year (I stopped buying them long ago when I gave away my collection of 3 years of the old Victoria Magazine when I had to move away, too sad!) but now magazines are a luxury I cannot afford So this would be a blessing :D My friend and I have planned a Magazine Tea Party and this would be perfect. blessings, Lady

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
