Giveaways and 31-Day Challenge

I am sorry that so many of my posts have been about giveaways lately, but there are so many lovely giveaways going on right now! Here are a few more that I am entering today:

Kelsey over at A Ray of Sunshine is hosting another fall giveaway (here is the link to her first fall giveaway). This week the prizes are:

This pair of earrings

and this set of three lovely hair pin trio.

The next giveaway is over at Giveaways of Blessing. The winner will receive this lovely clutch made especially for this giveaway:

Some new prizes have been added to Lily's giveaway over at Belle Fleur Photography, so be sure and check that giveaway out, as well!

Now, on to the 31-Day Challenge. I didn't have time to post a photo yesterday, so here are days 16 and 17:

Day 16 - A Photo of Your Parents

These are my favorite parents in the whole world. :) True, they are my only parents, but if I could pick my parents I would choose them.

Day 17 - A Photo Involving Street Lights

Since I live in a little town, we don't have any street lights that I can take a photo of. So, I figured these lights would count.

These are lights above the screen at the drive-ins.

And now, just to leave you with some cuteness:

(I am entering this photo in two photo challenges)

Theme: Something Sweet (hey, babies are pretty sweet!)

Theme: Something you love.

Hope you have a good day!

Hodge-Podge

Today this is going to be a rather hodge-podge post. There are several photo contests and giveaways going on, so that will be the main part of my post today. :)

First, I need to catch up on the 31-Day Challenge. I am doing this with Lily over at Belle Fleur Photography.

Day 2 - A Photo of What You Wore Today

Shirt: Goodwill // Tank Top: Old Navy // Skirt: Made by my sister and I // Necklace and Earrings: Made by Me

Day 3 - A Photo From a High Angle

I figured this would count as a photo from a high angle.

Next, Katie over at Hello Highlights is hosting a biweekly photo contest called iLove. My entry is this:

I love knitting. :)

Now for the giveaways:

First off is Tatertots and Jello. The winner will receive any one woman's item and any one girl's item from Downeast Basics Online Store, There are so many lovely clothing items in the shop!

Second, we have Giveaways of Blessing. The winner will receive this lovely rose ring! I am in love with it. :)

Last we have Grace's Garden Walk/An Old Fashioned Girl. Miss Johanna, the lovely author of An Old-Fashioned Girl was hosting an Autumn Frolic, but then her blog was somehow deleted! So now the lovely Miss Grace of Grace's Garden Walk is hosting the Autumn Frolic over at her blog. So, I am entering the giveaway over there. Go on over and enter or, even better, visit Miss Johanna's blog and leave her a sweet comment!

Well, that's it for giveaways! Go on over and check them out!

I made a couple pairs of earrings yesterday afternoon. I have not had a chance to take any photos yet, but you will all know as soon as I do. :)

How was your weekend?

Do you have any crafting projects going on right now?

A post which I cannot find a creative title for

I had fun putting the floral-y designs along the side. I love the vintage-y look of this photo! I also love my headband. :)

reading... "An Old Fashioned Girl" by Louisa May Alcott
listening... Knowing You'll Be There by The Gaither Vocal Band. Next up? Can you Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King. :)
drinking... Half iced tea, half lemonade. Great stuff!
eating... saltines. Next up is Mac & Cheese.
anticipating... A road trip to Connecticut with my sister and mom.
loving... my little siblings.
looking... forward to a four day weekend next week.
inspired by... the yarn baskets sitting in my room.
{post idea from Katie}

Because...I don't really have a reason for this picture.

Isn't she just the cutest thing?

I am entering this photo in Kelsey's Photo Contest.

And now, to leave you with a quote from Emma:

"Whom are you going to dance with?" asked Mr, Knightley.

She [Emma] hesitated a moment, and then replied, "With you, if you will ask me."

"Will you?" said he, offering his hand.

"Indeed I will. You have shown that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper."

"Brother and sister! no, indeed."

I don't really know why I like that quote, but I do.  Maybe because at that point Mr. Knightley loves Emma, but she doesn't realize that she loves him yet. :)

Do you have any favorite quotes from any books?

I hope you all have a good day!
