Blog Lovin' - Ava Maria Necklace Give Away

Ava Maria Necklace

Earlier this year, one of the most wonderful women, I have never met (but feel like I have known for years) sent out a Blog Lovin request in my honor...I was very sick at the time and Lee knew that I could use a little extra support and did you ever send it my way. I couldn't believe it when I would open my email account and it would be filled with well wishes...

Necklace will arrive in gift box.

It couldn't have come at a better time, I was getting worn out with doctor's appointments, and therapies... Your well wishes gave me the much needed lifting of spirits - to get me through...a tough time.

So, in the spirit of giving back... I would like to send out a call for Blog Lovin' for Lee at Weber's World - The Way I See It and Tammy at the Other Side of Me , the girls behind the wonderful offerings of Twigs and Feathers . Lee is in the process of uprooting house and home for a move to Maine and Tammy could use some cheering up....

Ava Maria Necklace

I will be giving away this Ava Maria necklace in a random drawing. All you need to do to enter the drawing is to pop over to Lee and Tammy's blog and leave a comment of encouragement and well wishes a.k.a Blog Lovin'. Then pop back and leave me a comment when you are finished. It's that simple...I know you will send good vibes their way...

The Ava Maria necklace features a beautiful, vintage Catholic charm and a natural pearl drop suspended from leather cords with a magnetic closure.

Magnetic Closure

Add a post and link back to this blog posting and receive an additional entry into the drawing. Spread the love....

The drawing will be open until Thanksgiving day, November 26th - a symbolic date of thankfulness for all the wonderful "Sistahs" (girlfriends) that are always there when you need them most ...

    Hi, I left a comment for Tammy and Lee, but I don't think I've ever been number 1 on a comment. I don't know if that is good or bad! Love your blog!

    I went and visited both of your friends....What a great story of friendship. I met my best friend through blogging when we were both adopting our daughters from Guatemala. Blogging has blessed me with the best friend I could EVER hope for and so many wonderful women that I can now call my friends.

    Left comments for your friends. How very sweet of you to think of such a sweet giveaway in honor of your friends!! It is amazing the bonds we have with those we have never met! When I was bit by a rattlesnake this summer my blog friends were so encouraging and prayed me through a very scary time!
