Happy Easter...and a giveaway winner...

Just dropping in to say have a blessed Easter dear friends!

(Strike Plate Cross)

Romans 5:8b is one of the first verses my son learned in Sunday School.  "Christ died for us."  So simple...but it has been on my heart this Easter week.  Before I was even "trying" to be good Christ died for me...and for you.  

You are loved.

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. (John 3:17)

Have a blessed Easter celebrating this AMAZING gift!

 

Also, 

I promised to announce the winner of my Junkers United Giveaway.

GIVEAWAY...Goose Creek Candle Co., Scented Candles

 

Who doesn't LOVE a yummy scented candle, right??

So when the nice people at GOOSE CREEK CANDLE CO. contacted me and asked if they could send me one of their "top selling" candles to try and review.  I said "Yes, please!!!"

 

First I had to choose a scent from their AMERICAN HERITAGE jar candle collection...

 

 

At first I was drawn to this VANILLA CASHMERE scent...sounds
heavenly doesn't it?  And I was crushing on that lovely "grayish" color...because you know that would look pretty cute sitting in ANY room of my gray filled house...

 

 

...but then I saw the WHIPPED PUMPKIN LATTE scent and that was it.  I have a bit of a "Pumpkin Spice Latte" problem you know :)

 

 

I am "in love" with this candle.  It has a wonderfully gentle fragrance that "sneaks" into every room of my house.

My daughter even thought I was hiding a "surprise treat" in the oven for her...sorry honey :)

 

 

And I really like the jars that the Heirloom Collection come in...clean lines and label free.  I think they would fit into any home.  And look at that cute silver lid with the tree on it...simply perfect.

Wouldn't they make great gifts?  Teachers, Holidays, Hostess...options are endless :)

 

 

 

I  thought this LIVING LIFE collection was fun too.

 

 

And since this wonderful fall scent got me dreaming of those cozy fall days ahead...I couldn't resist embellishing my jar a little bit for fun.

 

 

Because nothing says "fall" like burlap and book page leaves...right? ;)

 

So what do you think?  Want one???

 

OK then you have a couple of options...

First the generous people of Goose Creek Candle Co. have offered one FREE to one lucky person.  Just visit their website and then come back and comment to let me know which scent you would have chosen...

Only a few more days...Jewel Kade Giveaway

Hello friends...things are still busy, busy...with the addition of REALLY WET here today!  My littlest charmer and I did some thrifting while the bigger charmer was at Basketball camp...found some really fun stuff but got caught in a down-pour on the way out.  I'm sure my son was "proud" when picked him up looking like we'd just gone swimming in our clothes :)

Just wanted to remind you that the Jewel Kade Giveaway ends this Wed. Aug, 3rd.

Find out how you can win this sweet little bird and initial Charm necklace HERE :)

I hope you'll join in the fun if you haven't already...thanks!!!

Looks like I'm gonna get some major project time this weekend...so hopefully I'll be back with some ideas soon.  Thanks for hanging in

A "Charming" Little Giveaway

Well I made it...just over 100 CHARMING followers!  Yippee :)

I know that doesn't sound like much to those of you that have "hundred's and thousand's" of followers but I am "pleased as punch" that 100 people actually care what I'm up to in this little life of mine.  So to say thank you I decided to do a little giveaway...

When I was trying to decide what to offer up...I went back and forth.  I wanted something cute and kind of clever.  Should it be some thing "safe" that everyone would want?  Or should I go with something a little more "unexpected"..."one of a kind", that will really showcase my style and what I like to do???

Well, I guess you can tell by my pictures that I went with the "latter"...hehe :)

I have no idea what this piece of hardware was originally...but she is living her new life as a "junky" little shoe.  I hope you like her and want this little treasure to come to your house.  If so, here's what you should do...

1.  Are you a follower? (If not, I would LOVE it if you would.)  Either way, please leave me a comment and let me know that you would like to be entered in the drawing.

2.  Next, "Like" Chipping with Charm on Facebook and leave me another comment.

3.  Tell your friends!!!  Post a link on your blog and send them over...for this I will enter your name twice, just for fun :)

Then, you guessed it, leave me another comment.

Sign up until 8:00 pm, Central Time on Wednesday January 26th!!!



Thank you all for stopping by to take a peek.  I am so grateful for all the words of encouragement, sweet comments and helpful advice I've received in this fun blogging world.  And by the way...I still have NO idea what I'm doing.  But thanks for coming along for the ride!!!

PS...another newer blogger, Vintage No. 35 is having a giveaway too!  (Ending Friday, Jan. 21st) So if you're feeling lucky stop over and check it out...you'll be glad you did.  Her fun little giveaway inspired me to do mine.  Frankly, I had thought about it was afraid to put myself out there...well, here goes nothin!  Thanks Tricia :)
