G. WHAT A. GIVEAWAY U. SHOULD CHECK IT OUT B. FOR IT'S TOO LATE

Yesterday I was killing some time and came across a new-to-me blog called The 6 La La's (cute name, huh?). She's having a H.U.G.E. giveaway. Visit her blog to enter for a chance to win a 42" letter of your choice valued at $75.

Pretty cool, right?!!! I'm lovin' it, and I'm thinking a GIANT LETTER C would make a great focal point for my new home. See, it pays to do a little blog jog every now and then. (O.K., O.K., I haven't won yet but the possibility is there.) I better stop that talk before I jinks myself.

It's That Time Again!

Time to pick another Peep of the Month. Last month's winner was Cathy at Tales of the TCKK Family. Thanks to Scrapblog I was able to make her a brand new header and a matching button to go along with it.

If you would like a chance to win a new header and button, just leave me a comment, follow me here at Pieces of Me and there at the Five Moms and a Blog, and don't forget my little button. December's Peep of the Month will be chosen Monday, December 7th.

For more header samples click here.

Heads Up! My Header Giveaway Is Here!

My blogoversary is almost here and to celebrate, I wanna give a little back!

I know many of y'all can't keep your hands off your blog's design but having one custom made can be pricey and trying to tackle it yourselves can be tricky.

So what's a blogger to do when you get that little nudge to mix it up again?

Well, queue the super hero music cause my giveaway is about to come to your rescue. But hold up y'all. This isn't another blog makeover giveaway, well not exactly. I wish it were but my brain, patience and pocket-book just won't cut me any slack. Oh well, that's alright cause my heart is all in for helping y'all out. Maybe one day I'll be able to wrap my brain around the tricks of the trade. But until then, I'll give you a little piece of the blog makeover puzzle - a custom header. Just think of it as a small token of my appreciation.

OH! YOU WANNA HEAR MORE?

Ok, here's the scoop. I will be giving away one OH-SO-CUTE header each month for one year. November's winner will be getting a little extra somethin' somethin'. Each winner will be announced and featured as my Peep of the Month on the 1st Monday of the month.

Here are a few samples of my header creations.
There will be more to come soon.

as seen on Pieces of Me

So Here's how to enter monthly.

1. COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT - The more comments you leave me throughout the month, the more chances you have to win.
2. SPREAD THE WORD - Blog about my year-long giveaway and let me know. If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours by giving you (5) extra entries for each month you do so.
   

To qualify, you MUST:

• FOLLOW ME HERE - Join my Penless Pen Pals
• FOLLOW US THERE - Join me and my gals at the 5 Moms and a Blog
• GRAB & GO - Grab my little blogoversary giveaway button.

That's all there is to it! Easy Peasy, Right?!
Looking forward it! Hope y'all are too.

Much love,

* This month's winner will be chosen next Monday, November 9, 2009.

Grosgrain: Picnic Frock GIVEAWAY!!!!

If you know me, you know that I AM A GIRLY GIRL. And so, when my bloggy friend El mentioned a giveaway going on at Grosgrain Fabulous, I just had to enter! Kathleen is the lady behind this great giveaway and a lady sew talented too! The giveaway is this beautiful dress of a masterpiece she created. Hopefully, I'll be the lucky one enjoying a picnic in this pretty little dress.

Lives Well Done!

I want to thank all of y'all for entering my B-Earth Day Giveaway and for living your lives well done! This giveaway was done in hopes that you all would take hold of your birthday and embrace it for the blessing it is. And, I'm happy to say that, for the most part, you all DO recognize the beauty of your special day and you're not taking it for granted. That's great news to my ears! B-Earth Day Mission #1 ACCOMPLISHED.

My other purpose for my B-Earth Day Giveaway was to hopefully inspire you to do more for our Planet Earth. The funny thing is that YOU ALL were more of an inspiration to me after it was all said and done. You all make a wonderful contribution to this world. There's so much more that I could be doing and I'm definitely gonna do my share from now on. Thanks to you all, I'm gonna try my best to make this world a better place for having me in it. B-Earth Day Mission #2 ACCOMPLISHED.

However, no one mentioned how they're spiritually making this world a more beautiful place. I was so surprised because I know for sure that you are a group of beautiful women inside and out. I see the love you all have for your families in your posts and I believe that this world is NOT ONLY a better place having y'all in it because you are taking care of the land. This world is also more beautiful because you are women of great influence to those around you, especially your children. Think of all those children in the world who are lost with no one around to guide them. If only there were more wonderful people around like you all. Think of how beautiful the world be then! B-Earth Day Mission #3 is obviously being ACCOMPLISHED!

I applaud you all for being so optimistic about your birthdays and for helping me make this world a better, more beautiful place, environmentally and spiritually. To show my appreciation, three of you will be receiving one of these ready to reuse bags from Kohl's that are neither plastic nor paper, but OH SO FABULOUS!

You still have until tomorrow, April 28th, to enter if you haven't already.

THANKS AGAIN!

THIS WORLD IS TRUELY BLESSED TO HAVE YOU ALL IN IT!

My B-Earth Day Giveaway

Two GREAT days are rapidly approaching and to celebrate, I'm sending some B-Earth Day love your way. What's all the commotion about?

Well, let me tell you.

Some of you may already know that I'm turning the BIG 3-0 in a few days, April 23rd to be exact, and I'm so excited! If you don't know why, you should click here. I'm not sure how I'll be celebrating but I DO know one thing for sure...I WILL BE CELEBRATING! And I won't have to do it alone. I'll have both my guys right here beside me to share my special day. That's all I really need to celebrate anyways. Maybe we'll go hang out at the beautiful nearby mountains for the day. Or, maybe we'll catch a good movie. No matter what our plans end up being, It's gonna be wonderful celebrating another year. To me, a birthday is not about the gifts wrapped in pretty papers or the bags stuffed full of tissue paper. It's a much GREATER gift that I look forward to and it's given to me by God. It's the gift of having another year with those whom I love.

What's the other occasion? Well, let me tell you. Tomorrow is Earth Day; and honestly, I haven't ever celebrated it before. But, since I've started my Scenic Sundays, I've come to realize that it's a day worth celebrating. The beauty of God's creation is always surrounding us and it's highly important for us to take the time to nurture and treasure it - today, tomorrow and always. Someone once said, "For the sake of our children, we need to leave this world better than how we entered it. So, let us all join together and leave a better, more beautiful world behind.

Now do you see what my cause for celebration is all about?

Are you still with me? I hope so, because now I'm getting to the really good part.
