100th Post Giveaway!!!


Today marks my 100th post!  I have truly enjoyed my blogging experience.  I've learned so much from you and have met such amazing women.  You have become kindred spirits as we journey together through our days.  I am awe struck at all the possibilities that are available with the click of a button.  I still have a long way to go to master this art form, but I'm excited to learn and grow with all of you!  I would like to thank you for your support by doing a giveaway.   I will be giving the above items to one happy reader:  a reversible tote bag and covered hanger made by little ole' me.  The cutest ever icecream cone timer and the book, "One Simple Act: Discovering the Power of Generosity" by Debbie Macomber, with a handmade book mark.  The guidelines are simple, because I'm simple:

1.  You need to be a follower of Sewn With Grace.

2.  Leave one comment on this post telling me what you are thankful for.

That's it, nice and simple.  The giveaway will end Sunday, Feb. 28th.  I will announce the winner on Monday.  I'm looking forward to learning what you are thankful for.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.
Psalm 136:1

I'm thankful for you today,

  5. Grace, this is a nice giveaway. I'm glad you are enjoying blogging; it really can be a lot of fun, can't it?

    I'm grateful for my relationship with Jesus and that I can freely serve Him. I love the comfort that my Bible gives. And I love the fellowship I have with other believers. God has richly blessed my life.

    Looking forward to the next 100 posts from you!

  27. Nice to meet you, Renee! I've joined in as a follower, it's always nice to meet another 'salty' seamstress and quilter. Col 4:6 "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt..."

    I am grateful for the blessings of little being much, as there is so many everyday gifts that are easily taken for granted.
    Happy 100!

  34. Congratulations on your 100th post!

    My husband is in the US Navy and has been in Japan for the past 9 months. Yesterday we received all of the paperwork for me to move to Japan to be with my husband again. I am thankful that I am able to move there with him and within the next month we will be together again! I am so thankful for the Lord giving me this blessing and reuniting me with my husband. It has been a very difficult deployment and it is almost over. Amen.

    I'm thankful for being a mama, it has changed my life in for the better in every way. Everyday I am reminded how blessed I am to be where I am today, I would never have guessed five years ago that I would be given the privilege of staying home and caring for the two most wonderful people in the world. I am able to do the things that I love for the people that I love, and that is truly a blessing.

  41. Hi Renee, I have just signed on as a follower having discovered your site. Given distances, I'm commenting because I can, not because of the giveaway. I am thankful for all of our yesterdays as well as tomorrows. My father has vascular dementia and is in aged care. He still recognises us, and some of when we talk about events in the past, but finds it hard to communicate with us. As to your giveaway, I have been talking about Debbie Macomber's books on my last couple of blog posts due to coincidences. Finding one on my first visit to your blog just proves more so that I really do have to read them, and continue to visit your blog! Enjoy your week, Jenny
