Mother's Day/Giveaway Results

Today I will reveal the results of the giveaway.But before I do that, I want to take some time to love on my mom (seeing as it is mother's day! :).
This woman... wow. She is just amazing.

She gives her life to her family, selflessly serving when she sees a need.Mother of thirteen, a farmer's wife.She can drive tractors, show up her daughters while working out, play basketball with the best of them and score a touchdown.

She is a friend to all, her inner beauty shining on everyone that she comes in contact with.

I get to call this beautiful face not only my mom, but also my best friend.

I LOVE you mom!!!! 

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Now for the giveaway.The winner is.....
I could not for the life of me figure out how to put the image of the results on my blog this morning. But I used random.org.Mandy!!Congrats Mandy and thanks to all those who participated!

Guess what?!?!

My birthday came early this year,

and me is now the owner of a Canon EOS Rebel T3i!!!!

I am at the learning stage, adding words like "aperture" and "shutter speed" to my vocabulary. 

I refer to the manual often... very often. :)

Today I took pictures randomly throughout my day. 

I'm going to add to that randomness by posting some of them here... randomly of course :)

Rise up girl

Rise up girl

Out of the rest that oppresses your soul. 

Your heart has told you "enough".

Wake up girl

The night is gone, 

shield no more the beauty that yearns to be seen in your eyes.

Shine girl

No more hiding in the shadows of fear and shame. 

The world has waited long enough, show them who you are.

Run girl

Away from the things that pull you down into the pit of despair, 

run to the destination of open arms.

Believe girl

Stop telling yourself that all your hopes, dreams and goals are impossible to reach. 

You can. You will. You are.

Today girl

Later is never. 

Don't give in to the putting off of things, for regret is sure to be found.

Your strong girl

Even on those days that failure already scribbled a shameful mark before your feet touched the floor, strength is prevalent when you continue the fight despite the doubts that tear at your heart.

Remember girl

Take a look at your history. 

See the struggles that had you falling to your knees in defeat, 

yet now have you soaring high on the wings of freedom. 

You are never alone girl

Even if there is no physical person that is willing to attend to your physical need, 

there is someone who breaks the barrier of dimension. 

Never to busy, always listening, and forever ready and waiting for you to simply come.

Find Jesus girl

He holds your past, your present and your future.

Because of Him, you are beautiful, you shine bright, you have immeasurable strength.

The time of waiting has past, be the girl that He made you to be.

You can believe in yourself because you believe in Him.

 His mercy and grace a constant source for you in your time of need.

Sing girl

Give place to the song that has been placed inside of you for a purpose.

Let it out, let it be heard.

Its Giveaway Tiiiiime!!

Hey all!

Guess what time it is???

That's right...  its giveaway time :)

A Lilla Rose consultant contacted me a while back and asked me if I would be interesting in hosting a giveaway for them.

Since it is an item on my Dream list (#47!), and since I know that people love getting free stuff... I of course said yes. :)

So here we go!

A couple of months back, we purchased our first items from Lilla Rose. While figuring out which size Flexi-clip we needed was a tad bit confusing at first, we found this youtube video helpful and the sizes we ended up with were perfect for the hairstyles we wanted.

(Go to Lilla Rose's youtube channel for more flexi-clip styling tips)

My beautiful and fabulous sister Megan agreed to take pictures of these products for me. 

(Go to her photography blog or Facebook page to check out more of her AMAZING work!)

Kerri got a flexi-clip. Which she loves.

She says that it is really comfortable... but the best part is that it stays in really well.

Isn't it pretty?

Megan received these "You pins", which Brooke is modelling in these pictures.

These pins are great for curly hair, and very easy to use!

Mom and I got a couple of these bobby pins, which once again... little sister is modelling.

They also stay in REALLY well, and are very fun and decorative.

Upon seeing the fun Kerri had with her flexi-clip, I had to have one as well!

I recently received this flexi-clip, which I wore for the first time yesterday... and fell in love with it!

It fits nice and snug, and like Ker says... stays in really well. There are not many hair pieces that actually stay in my hair because it is so thin and soft... Lilla Rose flexi-clips do!

So that is my review!

Now for the giveaway :)

All you have to do to enter is go to this website, pick out an item (up to $16 in value) that you would like to win, and leave that information in a comment on this post.

For a second entry, share a link to this blog post on Facebook, or blog about the giveaway, leaving a separate comment telling me that you did so.

Finally, if you would like a third entry, you can purchase any Lilla Rose item (also from this website), then comment a third time to tell me you did so.

Please make sure that the comments you leave are on this blog (you can comment using "anonymous" if you don't have a blog), not on the link/links shared to Facebook. That way things don't get confusing and I can make sure that I get your entry in.

Comprende?

Then comment away me lovelies, let the fun begin!

Winner will be chosen Sunday, May 11th.

Oh, and make sure to check out Lilla Rose's feature of the month... perfect for Mother's day!! 

(just sayin' :)
