Giveaway WINNER

Sorry I'm a little late doing the drawing and it has been awhile since I have posted anything at all. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of eating and shopping. The last few days have been the after vacation low. Yesterday was a crazy day full of Christmas decorations, a disastorous house and Enrichment stress. Today started off with a call to poisen control because Sam smeared diaper rash cream all over his face, ears, and hair getting it into his eyes and possibly eating some of it -oh joy-, but things have settled down enough for me to announce the drawing for the crocheted monkey.

Drum roll....

Elijah assisted me in drawing the number and the winner is Maren!

Send me an email, Maren, with your address and you will soon have a little monkey for one of your darling girls.

I appreciate those of you who commented and I know there were many more who didn't. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends.

The Christmas season is now in full swing! Sugardoodle has put the Christ Centered Christmas blog on her Random 10 list and we have been getting a lot of hits. It's pretty exciting. One of the links on her random 10 is to a photoshop template for a photo book using the Family Proclamation. It's free to download and pretty amazing. I got into a little bit of digital scrapbooking to do the banner for Christ Centered Christmas and was excited to see these templates that all you have to do is add your photos and then print it through one of the many photobook sites online. It would make a great gift, though I'm not sure there is time to get it done before Christmas.

Visitor Appreciation GIVEAWAY!

Sometime in the near future (most likely today) I will top over the 5000 visit mark since I started this blog in January. I know that many of those visits are my own mother but by far not all of them. I would like to share my appreciation to all of you who pop into my life every once in a while. I like knowing that you are checking in on me.

Here is your chance to make yourself known!

I have decided to do my first ever giveaway in honor of my 5000 visits. If you are reading this you have a chance to win! I have lovingly made this adorable crochet monkey that will go to one lucky commenter. To enter leave a comment letting me know you were here. Make sure that I can track you down either by blog address or email. I will take comments until Monday night, December 1st. Tuesday I will draw a name and notify you of the winner.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Have a happy day and a great Thanksgiving Holiday!
