The Gentle Art Of Encouragement & Gratitude Giveaway.....



Last month a fellow blogger friend from
 Blueberry Cottage
 had an encouraging post about the gentle art of encouragement. She talked about how it is an encouragement to send friends and family little notes or cards as well as it being an encouragement when someone thinks of you in return. I thought it was sweet and well... encouraging. She was giving away some pretty postcards she had made from her personal photos... As I was one of the recipients to receive the gesture. It was really a pick me up for I was struggling with some stuff at the time. It was really nice to get a package in the mail... Who doesn't like receiving a little token of sentiments? I was inspired by her giving heart, so went ahead and had a few of my own postcards printed up from my personal photos... With gratitude for her sweet gift and for my friends who always stop by here everyday.... I would like to extend the love and send out my postcards to you!



The first 6 who leave me a comment here...
 Will receive 3 each of my 3 postcard prints...
I will e-mail you then, to get your address and send off your cards.
I hope this will encourage and inspire you to send a card to someone,
 let them know you care, your thinking of them,
 you love them and express your gratitude...
Be an encouragement to someone!
 It certainly is a gentle art....
You will brighten someones day!
Thank you to all my friends and family who support us,
whom encourage us and simply show their love...
 Blessings!!!
P.S. come back next week...I am having another giveaway!!!
 Scraps from my fabric stash!!!

  4. What a wonderful idea. I was fortunate to receive a lengthy handwritten letter from a friend who moved away several years ago. We email each other often, but a letter, or card, bearing the handwriting of the writer -- I had forgotten how much "life essence" it carries. I would love to receive your cards and pass on the encouragement.

  6. Thank you for offering a nice gift to the first six of us who leave a comment.
    I think it is wonderful to spread the Fruit of the Spirit by sending out encouraging note cards. My note cards supply is very low so this is a real blessing.
    Thanks,

  14. How sweet and and what a wonderful thought. I am thinking of how I can use this idea with my students. I frequently tell them how well they've done or how proud of them I am, but I don't write a note. You've given me a wonderful idea! So even though I won't get any of your beautiful notecards the beauty is shared nonetheless.

    Thank you!
