Hold it Up to the Light Times are Tight Giveaway!?

click here for the long version to read all about it!

Now, here's the short version....

Times are Tight!

You probably have friends who have lost their jobs or can't find one.

You can't 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

we are trying to find ways to make a little more money.

I have friends who have small businesses.

Some of them have been around for a while and are struggling a bit, 

and some of them are brand new.

I want to help them, and that's what this idea is all about.

Each month, I will highlight a friend's business. 

It will give them a chance to show off their stuff, and of course....

Give Something Away

If you've been reading my blog this week,

you know that we're on vacation at the beach (YaY).

We have had a wonderful time, and I have tried to 

capture everything with my brand newcamera.

My first featured friend is giving away something 

that I would LOVE to keep for myself...especially after this week!

When I asked Janice to join in, she was so excited.

She has been a unbelievably amazing scrapbooker for 

a long time, and she just opened up her own Etsy Shop!

Her specialty is stamping, and I am so impressed with what she can do!

Please stop by and check it out, and know that you are 

supporting a wonderful mother, grandmother, wife, friend, and

Child of God

when you support her with a purchase.

Janice is a gem, and I love her so much!!!

And for all my awesome readers, this is what one of YOU will win...

 

A pre-made scrapbook, just in time for your next 

Beach Vacation!

It has lots of pages ready to fill with all your happy memories...

you don't have to be a scrapbooker extraordinaire (like Janice)

to love this one!!!
