Dress Giveaway Winner

Well, I had planned to write a Thankful Thursday post this week, but work (once again) got in the way with it. The summer heat here in Arizona does not help either. By the time I get home at night, my brain is totally fried – seriously…

Anyway, I apologize for the delay on announcing the winner for the cute dress giveaway I had running for a week. Without further ado, Jennifer (comment # 7) from Scraps and Snippets is the winner (I used as usual Random.Org to draw the winner). Jen, I will send you and email to get more information what size and address to ship it to πŸ˜› .

I wanted to give a little more information why I did this giveaway. There were actually two reasons:
1. Supporting Gentry Rose and her family with the expenses
2. Supporting an American manufacturer and a fellow sister in Christ.

You see, many items we are able to purchase here in the US are no longer made here. They are imported (and some sold for a very high price) to the US. I believe if we all start looking around to see if we can support/buy American products, we can help turn this economy around. I will blog about my thoughts on the economy hopefully in the next weeks (if I have the guts to do it). No, it will not be a political post at all (since I am German, I can not say anything about politics and choose not to anyway)…
Okay, off my soap-box…

Have a super marvelous and blessed weekend…

Summer Dress Giveaway

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, β€œLet the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”” ~ Matthew 19:13-14 (ESV)

Okay, so I have never met little Gentry Rose (yet), but her story just touched my heart. Check out the blog her mom started for her…

One of Melody’s friends designs/manufactures little girl’s dresses. Granny B actually designed a dress for Gentry Rose. The cool thing about it? All sales from this dress go toward Gentry Roses’ therapy – isn’t that neat?
