Drawing a Name

Tonight I wrote the names of my blog giveaway entrants on slips of paper (using my own beloved Seven Year Pen), shuffled the papers in a whimsical kitchen bowl, and drew a winner . . . 

Congratulations, Lucy! As you live in Canada, you are the perfect illustration of one of my favorite parts of blogging-- getting to know people even when they live miles away. Though you would be too far to visit in person, the giveaway pen and paper should travel nicely :) You can e-mail me (megansa@sbcglobal.net) your address, and I will send the gift on its way.  

To everyone who entered, or visits this place~ 

Dancing

Last week, Middle Sister and I spent Monday thru Saturday at a dance intensive. Each day began with praise, ballet, and modern. After that came lunch and jazz. Finally we had the opportunity to take a variety of electives, giving us a taste of hip hop, contemporary, Broadway jazz, house, Russian character, modern improv, and others. 

While it was certainly intense, we had fun as we learned a lot! 

Youngest Sister and my mom were kept busy with VBS and the puppies.  

My dad was kept busy taking Middle Sister and me to the intensive on his lengthened commute to work. 

Thus, by Saturday night, we were all dog-tired. 

Something that has me figuratively dancing this week? I'm celebrating five years of blogging with a giveaway! Four days left to enter. . . 

celebrating five ~ a giveaway

This past week marked my fifth year of blogging. How time flies! I am so thankful to have this place where I can share pictures and words, and to have you here reading them. Today I'm celebrating with a giveaway! 

While contemplating what I have enjoyed using and think you might enjoy using as well, two things came to mind. First off, Four Seasons Pocket Pads by Potter Style. 

I always like to carry a small notebook in my purse, and these fit the bill beautifully. Their being separated into seasons make them easy to switch out, keeping things interesting. Mine are now full of random lists, numbers, book titles, thoughts, and doodles. 

And what do you need for writing in a notebook? My pick is The Note-To-Self Seven Year Pen by Seltzer Goods. It writes smoothly and, supposedly, can write 1.7 meters a day for seven years. I've only had mine since December (I had put it on my Christmas list after seeing it on Pinterest), so we'll see. . . 

Four notebooks + one pen = five items (fitting, right? :) 

Think you or someone you know could use a few notebooks and a pen? To enter, simply leave a comment below or email me at megansa@sbcglobal.net. The giveaway will be open through July 27 at 4:00 P.M. central time. I'll plan on drawing and announcing the winner that night. 

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me! Blessings~ Megan
