We Are THAT Family: Happy New Year {Giveaway}

Thursday

Happy New Year {Giveaway}

This giveaway has now ended. Winners will be announced soon!

I thought about posting my best posts and pictures of 2009 like so many other bloggers are doing.

But y'all. I didn't get out of my pajamas until 2:30 p.m. yesterday. I'm working the lazy this week.

So, I thought a giveaway (a great one at that) would be just as good!

These pictures have one thing in common.

Can you find it?

Hint: Follow the red arrows.

Some good guesses might be...my pasty white skin, my love of denim and Disney...

(This has nothing to do with this post, but I have decided next time to actually watch my little girl open her presents on her birthday and to open my eyes during pictures. You could call them resolutions, if you will).

Answer: I'm wearing my favorite necklace from The Vintage Pearl.

It's the Eclectic Necklace. (I traded it for advertising months ago).

Here's a closer look, but I don't know who those children are:

It's a New Year. And The Vintage Pearl and I are starting it off with a bang and giving away TWO $50 gift certificates to TWO winners!!

I also love this bracelet:

Erin of The Vintage Pearl is making one for me to review!

Leave a comment and tell me something you plan to do in the New Year!

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL!

Anonymous said...: In the new year, I'm keeping it simple: live more, love more and move more. This means that I'm going to find adventure in the every day, I'm going to take opportunities to love more (friends, family and yes, even enemies) and I'm going to move more - actively engage my body in activity: playing racquetball with a friend, playing outside with the kiddos...just MOVE.; December 31, 2009 at 9:37 AM

I am also trying to lose weight and get into shape. Having 4 kiddos has not been kind to my body. I am hoping if I have muscle, the stretched out skin might hang better! Wishful thinking huh?

If I think I should do something, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it wholeheartedly - give of myself more than I've ever done.

The Carters said...: Love the jewelry! It would be perfect for me as baby #2 is due this year! My new years resolution is more family time in the evenings. I work full time and the evenings before my 2 1/2 year old go to bed seem to be consumed by housework, cooking dinner, etc. I want to spend more time doing family things together and work on the chores after my son is in bed. Thanks for doing the give-a-way! kellymcarter@gmail.com; December 31, 2009 at 3:38 PM

Angie said...: I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your blog a short time ago and read the post about forgiveness and the challenges you and your husband have overcome in your marriage. It touched my heart, as my marriage has also struggled in the past. Only I was the one who had to ask for forgiveness. I believe God directed me to that post so that I could understand that every marriage struggles and that we can overcome our sins. You are a blessing and I just want to say thank you. God is using you to help so many people. Including me. God bless you and thank you.; December 31, 2009 at 4:30 PM

Rachel said...: Not really a "RESOLUTION," but I must do better organizing my receipts! I lost I don't know how much money because I could have turned in several rebates! I cannot find the receipts, so I can't get my money back and TODAY is the DEADLINE for postmarking on all of them! DANGIT!

Today I got a special accordian file for my rebate receipts, "try me free" forms, and satisfaction guarantees. I also bought one especially for car receipts (for car repairs, tires, and brake guarantees). Now that I have the tools, I have no more excuses!

Have a HAPPY, SAFE, and BLESSED New Year 2010!
Rachel
