Thanks for stopping by!

Want to know the story behind the
Hold it Up to the Light Times are Tight Giveaway!?
click here for the long version !

Here's the short version....

Times are Tight!

You probably have friends who have lost their jobs,
or others who can't find one.
It is impossible to turn on the TV, read the paper, or surf the web
without hearing about what a bad state our economy is in.
We are all cutting back in one way or another, and
many of us are trying to find ways to make a little extra money.

I have friends who have small businesses.
Some of them have been around for a while,
and some of them are brand new.
I want to help them, and that's what these 
giveaways are all about!
Each month or so, I will highlight a friend's business.
It will give them a chance to show off their stuff, and of course....

Give Something Away

This month's featured friend is an amazingly talented girl.  God has gifted her with stunning beauty, a great husband (all the way from Australia), precious children, and the voice of an angel.  She comes from a beautiful family, and is amazingly funny, too.  Best of all....she loves her some Jesus!!!  

Natalie recently discovered a hidden "crafty" talent (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree), and this self-proclaimed "Hot Mama" is makin' a business out of it....and boy has it taken off.  Buyers all across town are snatching these up, and she is quite busy trying to keep them stocked.  I hear she is loving it, though, and I wouldn't want my readers to be behind the fashion times!  


Wouldn't you love to say you were one of the first to sport such awesome ear candy?  

Japanese Bamboo

Tropical Punch

Simply Sophisticated


For this giveaway, there will be 3 lucky blessed winners.  I will rank them using random.org.  The #1 winner will pick her favorite, the #2 winner will choose from the other 2, and the #3 winner will get the pair that is left.  Clear as mud?

"How do I enter", you ask?
Doing any of these things will score you a vote:

Just let me know what all you did by leaving one comment per entry, and I'll tally the votes sometime Thursday morning.  You could potentially win all 3 pairs if you play your cards right....

Look for the winners on Thursday afternoon/evening!  In the mean time, check out Natalie's Etsy site for LOTS of other designs.  I have my eye on several pairs!!!  Aren't they adorable!?
