Walk & Work With Style GIVEAWAY!

Welcome to the Mega Prize Giveaway

Walk & Work With Style

March 1-18, 2012

Sponsored by:

The Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research

And Hosted by:

Celebrate Woman Today

The Modern Babble

Adventures of A Couponista

The Prizes You will be competing for:

Sony Wi-Fi Camera ~ 2 Winners

Kingston Wi-Drive 32GB ~ 2 Winners

Sports Watches with Rhinestone Bezel ~ 4 Winners

We live in times when comfort and style really matter. That's why we chose to go with the prizes that are very handy for anybody in this busy life. These products will definitely contribute to your work, to your hobby, to your creative projects.

All this is possible with the help of The Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research. What is it? It is closer to home than you may think. This non-profit Foundation puts forward all its resources into education and active involvement of people like you and I in the conservation of the Rainforest. It does it with workshops, trips to the Peruvian Amazon, connecting educational institutions with each other, and supporting indiginous people.

Do we really care if the Rainforest vanishes from the face of the Earth? You bet. And you'd better be proactive NOW. If all of the Rainforest goes away, we will be experiencing one of those cataclizms like in a horrific movie.

We want to continue to live, and to blog. And blog happily.

Let's celebrate our connections with each other and with Nature.

Let's Walk & Work With Style, while always caring about the interconnectidness of this Universe.

We would love to Thank All These Great Blogs who came through strongly with their support for this occassion. Our applause to each and every one of you:

Rafflecopter is hosting a Launch Giveaway

If you enter contests on blogs, you've surely seen Rafflecopter forms everywhere!  These have made entering so much easier!  They even remember your information now :)

To start 2012, you’ll have a chance at winning an iPad2 or one of two Kindle Fires in what we’re calling the ‘Rafflecopter Launch Party Giveaway’! 


You can even enter right here on my blog!

All Aboard! Toot Toot!

Welcome to new friends from 7OnAShoestring and the Christmas Treasure Train blog hop!

If you haven't already entered to win - what are you waiting for?

I'm sponsoring the giveaway at 7OnAShoestring - I'm giving away an oils warmer adapter and 3 home fragrance oils (like I spotlighted here)

Also - today is the LAST DAY to enter over at Home Grown Families for my awesome Homeology cleaners! 

Win Gold Canyon All-Natural Homeology Cleaners!

As you may know, Homeology cleaners were inspirational in my decision to become a Gold Canyon Independent Fragrance Consultant!  I excited to share this opportunity for you to win it for free!

Home Grown Families is hosting their annual Green Gifting Guide.  You can enter here to win a free full-size cleaner and wasteless refill of your choice.

These all-natural cleaners make an excellent green holiday gift.  Not only is the product environmentally friendly, but giving a gift that is consumable is green!  For less than the cost of a sweater that they may just re-gift, you can give the gift of aromatherapy and clean fresh spaces!

Who would most appreciate this gift?  I'm tempted to say anyone with a nose, but I guess that wouldn't be super-helpful!  Here are a few suggestions:

A newly-wed couple.  Remember when you got married?  You got all those expensive pieces of china, flatware, crystal stemware... You had matching towels, throw-pillows, placemats...  You had an iron, blender (or 3 blenders in our case!), coffee maker...  And do you remember the first trip to the store?  The "stock up".

Yeah - that's the one!  When we got married (nearly 16 years ago) ours was $86 - YIKES  (that was a lot of money when you consider our rent on the apartment was around $450)

College Students.  I remember the shock when I discovered that I had to clean my own dorm room.  I don't know why, but I kinda envisioned it as a hotel.  I was sadly mistaken, there was no maid service!  I usually bummed cleaners off of the other students (who probably got it as a dorm-warming present from someone else!)  I had to save my money for more important things, like late night runs to Taco Bell and new shoes books!  I didn't even buy toilet paper some weeks.  I "borrowed" it from the lobby bathroom (sorry mom).

That person who has everything.  You know who they are.  There's not something they haven't tried.  They've been there, done that, got the T-shirt.  You started giving them only things that they could hang on the walls, but that's even not an option anymore!

Anyway - if you win it, you could keep it for yourself or give it as a gift.  Why not throw in some super-cute gloves like these:

Nice Hands Household Utility Gloves - $10.50 on Etsy

An inexpensive organizer tote and some eco-friendly cleaning cloths:

Crocheted Cleaning Cloth Eco-Friendly Rainbow Stripe Shagg Ragg - $7.50 on Etsy

Either way, your purchase supports Small Businesses in a BIG Way.  Watch for my Small Business Guide - coming soon!

Small is the new BIG!

A brief update (well I intended to keep it brief!)

I have been quite busy the last week since I posted.  Over the weekend we commemorated the 4th anniversary of Ian's death with a trip to the graveside, a balloon release and dinner at Buca di Beppo.  The waiter asked if we were celebrating anything.  After a brief pause, my husband said "yes, we're celebrating the life of our son." Then just watched silently as the waiter fumbled a bit, recovered and took our drink orders!

We miss you little man!

Also this weekend I got my first fundraiser started with my Gold Canyon candle business.

This required a trip to historic Waxahachie, Texas and my alma mater, SAGU!  It was homecoming weekend and the townfolk rolled out the red carpet for the visitors with a slew of garage sales!  I got this beauty:

It's an Art Deco metal cabinet, a broom closet or janiter's closet.  I've spent a lot of time researching and haven't found anything like it!  Anyone have any ideas?  There is a label on the front which has been painted over:

(I adjusted the contrast to try to make it easier to see)  It says "LFC Universal" which I believe stands for Landers, Frary & Clark

Most of the rest of my time has been spent packing, cleaning, painting and preparing for my upcoming candle shows. 

I did win several things in the last few days though!  A friend hosted a FB contest on hre personal page and I won a CD. 

Then I won "At The Well"'s monthly giveaway for October, a CD from Abe and Liza Philip: God's Word from A-Z. 

Then this morning, I found out I won a free copy of the (already affordable) Thanksgiving planner from The Christian Homekeeper Network!

Which served to remind me that I owe a special order necklace like this one:

to the September At The Well winner!  The only catch?  I've already PACKED all 50+ of my vintage hymnals!  So, now I have to go shopping.

And now a few prayer requests:
Please keep my Father in Law, Wayne, in your prayers.  His lung cancer is back and he will be starting radiation therapy today.  It should last 6 weeks, at which time my husband is scheduled to have back surgery.  His recovery is supposed to be 3-4 weeks, which bumps up nicely against the due date for our latest blessing.  Somewhere in between all of that, we're supposed to paint our house (inside and out), list it to sell, have Christmas and celebrate 2 birthdays.  Oh, and the kids are in a Christmas play at church and I volunteered to coordinate the Gospel for Asia tree in the church foyer.  Needless to say, we are very grateful that we've embraced UNSCHOOLING, since that's all I can handle right now!  LOL

October is SIDS Awareness month too! (A contest)

I know we all think pink when we hear about October awareness, but did you know that you should also think blue?

October is Infant and Pregnancy Loss awareness month, specifically October 15th.  The entire month is also dedicated to SIDS awareness.

This is close to my heart, as many of you know!  We lost our son, Ian, in 2006 to SIDS.  You can read my blog posts about our grief journey by clicking the link at the top or to the right "Grief and Healing".

I posted an Etsy Treasury recently to spotlight sellers that support families going through this loss.

I also wanted to share a contest that is being helpd by the CJ Foundation for SIDS.  There are just 10 days left to enter!  In recognition of SIDS Awareness Month, the CJ Foundation is giving away a gift basket of prizes including aden + anais® swaddles, sleep bags and issie™ worth over $200 to one lucky winner! Simply sign up for their E-Newsletter using the form on their site and be entered into a drawing to win!

SoftBums Cloth Diaper giveaway

Most of you know I'm pregnant with #5, due in January!

I've really been considering cloth diapers this go-around, and I think I've just been convinced!  Take a look at the SoftBums OMNI Diaper:


The main objection to cloth diapers has been affordability, but this just blew it out of the water!

You can visit Home Grown Families' blog to enter!

Search Amazon.com for softbums

Name that bar! (a contest)

My mother-in-law's best friend has started a great new company making incredible lotion bars.  They are truly fabulous and smell good too :)

100% natural-beeswax-shea butter-coconut oil and a little lavender for scent

She's trying to come up with a catchy and fun name and is asking for your help!  The winning name will get a supply of her great bars!

Hurry, visit her blog today!

True Woman

Visit their website

You may remember a while back when I blogged about the True Woman 30-Day Makeover.  Well, They are hosting a couple of conferences this year - and I really want to attend the one in Fort Worth!

They are giving away a ticket a day on their Facebook Fan page!  You can win too and we could go together ;)

This promises to be an inspiring getaway that will refresh us and help us re-focus on our godly callings as wives, mothers, and bearers of the name of Christ in every area of life!

The Hope Chest

"The hope chest is a beautiful reminder of what we are preparing for ~ contented productive singleness, mission driven marriage, & godly fruitful motherhood." ~ Raising Homemakers

Isn't that beautiful?

Here is my Hope Chest, I bought it on one of my husband and my first long trips.  We drove to Illinois to introduce our firstborn to his grandparents.  This beauty was in an antiques store on the town square, we reaaranged our van so we could drive  home with it!

I've really felt a pull to use this as a family altar, and wouldn't that be a fabulous way to use it in the mean-time?  What family memories could be built here, and the prayers prayed for our children would shower this chest.  I'm even more convinced that this is the way to go, now that I've decided to use this as Jordan's Hope Chest.  I've already been using it to store family heirlooms, like the christening gown and special baby clothes.

I hope that you've enjoyed a peek at my Hope Chest, and I encourage you to head over to Raising Homemakers where they are giving away 3 copies of a new book about this very topic!

HELP! Online Auction/Raffle how to?

Several weeks ago there was an online auction benefit for a family who had lost the husband.  I can't figure out who it was!  They raised nearly $9000 and had great response.

I wanted to touch base with that blogger to ask a few questions about my upcoming benefit auction.

Please send me anything you think would be helpful - and if you would like to donate item(s) to this cause I would really appreciate it!
