Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer is hosting a very cool giveaway this week! Click on the button to find out how you can be in on the giving AND the getting. Should be loads of fun!! In honor of my girls who are coming home soon
I will be giving away this Ethiopian beaded necklace. Since it is a small item, I’ll be glad to ship internationally. To enter my drawing just leave a comment right here. I’ll announce the winner this Friday morning!


So this is my comment. I also wanted to tell you that I love checking your blog every Sunday just to see what picture you are going to put up. I love this Sunday’s. It is sooo sweet.
Such a pretty necklace! I love reading your blog. I’m pretty much a “lurker” as I don’t post comments often, but wanted to let you know that you inspire me to be a better mommy!
Oh, pretty! I’m SO excited for you that your girls get to come home soon!
Beautiful!
I”ll enter on behalf of Kati. She’s determined to be a cross cultural nurse/missionary in Mali, Africa. This would be a great reminder of the call she feels in her heart.
I’d love to be counted in! I live in NZ
Love your blog too.
Cheers, Wilm
Let the giveaways begin! I’m so excited this my first entry. Beautiful necklace, Beautiful Blog!
I think that necklace would afford its recipient plenty of opportunities to tell people about you and your family and your great blogs. And that would be a very pleasant thing indeed. Hmm… I sound like Winnie-the-Pooh. Time to read something else at bedtime for awhile, I think.
Those are beautiful!
That is so beautiful – I’m waiting for one from Shop Ethiopia and hoping it will get here before we travel (2 weeks!) but I thought I’d try my luck here too just in case!
Love your site – can’t wait to see your girls come home!! My thoughts and prayers are often with your family!
would it fit a fat neck like mine?
I think Avery should get the necklace
.
Beautiful! I could use it as a nursing necklace
yippee! another giveaway!
count me in! I promise I’ll let my precious little princesses wear it at least once in a while…
Love your blog, love your wisdom and love that necklace:)
That necklace is amazing! Nice choice. You blog is great, and I love checking in! Keep it coming!

Oh, my! I would love to win that necklace! I am so happy your girls are coming home soon.
I showed my DH the photo’s of your beautiful girls last night. Who knows, maybe it was a seed that will grow. I always say “If I adopt again, it’s going to be from Ethiopia”.
