A Giveaway for you all.....


Hello there everyone.. 
Just a short posting tonight as I may not have the time tomorrow and I wanted to do it before the weekend.. 
This doll is handmade even her face.. A girl by the name of Pam McFarland  made her.. I do not know this girl but I bought it at a craft show in Augusta, Maine ... 

Anyway, my dear husband and I will be celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary on Monday.. 

Can you imagine?? 

Forty two years.. 

We are getting old but do you know that even though our bodies are slowing and ageing our hearts are as young as ever.. 
He still makes my heart sing and I still see that dear twinkle in his eye when he tells me that he thinks I am beautiful.. 
Now that must be love, eh?  smile.. 

This blog is about HOME... 
It is about keeping our homes and loving our God and our families.. 

I kind of thought that this doll reminds me of the keeper of the home.. 

She has just collected her eggs...Can you see them?
I don't have chickens.. I wish I did.. smile..

So, if you would like the doll then these are the rules..

1.. Be a follower of this blog if you are not yet then you are more than welcome..

2.. Leave a comment on this post ... 

3.. If you post about it or put it on your sidebar then you get another chance but please let me know.. 

So you can have as many as 3 chances.. 

We will make the draw on March 31...

I will also include a  surprise... OK?

Thanks for all your lovely visits and comments.. 
I really appreciate them.. 

May God bless and keep you..
Hugs..

  10. What a precious little doll, Faye! I just love her face, and the eggs in her apron reminds me of my grandmother. I tried to carry eggs in my coat pocket once when I was a little girl... you can just about imagine how thrilled my mother was with me. (Notice I said "tried"...*grin*)
    Hope you and Terry have a wonderful Anniversary, 42 years is not a very long time. (I say that because that's how old... I mean young... I am. *ha*)

  22. I love the doll! She reminds me of my grandmother--she always used her
    apron or dress tail to gather and carry eggs. March 31st happens to be my
    51st birthday! Happy Anniversary to you and your sweetie!

  23. Congrats. Forty-two years is very honorable. I love the doll. She is unique and she reminds me of a farmer's wife doing some duties of her home - gathering eggs. Her outfit is what one would wear to go out to the chicken pen. I so enjoy your comfy peaceful blog, especially the pics and recipes. Oh, and the music! constanceoc@yahoo.

  29. Love your blog. Hopped over from Granny Trace. I visit both of you almost daily. I love you both because I am a full-time RN and live through you gals. I would love to stay at home full time. Maybe later. I am inspired by you to use my time wisely and my family appreciates my homemade meals, quilts, purses and of course the replaced buttons. I praise God everyday for ladies such as you. Thank you for sharing. Blessings*

  40. Dear Faye,

    Thank you so much for having this giveaway...I would just love to win this doll! I hold a special place in my heart for dolls...and love to make them. And Augusta, Maine...well, well, well! That's my stomping grounds, dear friend! We live about an hour from there...on the coast in a little fishing village. Whenever we go to "the big city"...we either mean Augusta or Portland. What a surprise to hear that the doll came from there!

    Again, thank you so much for sharing!
    Sweet blessings,
    Laura

  42. Faye,

    I would love to be entered in your giveaway if that's OK? I would post it but Google is not working for me right now (something new)and i am not sure as to where that will be before Saturday.

    Hope all is well (I can't get to my emailed either to see if you emailed me back after I answered your questions!).

    I have not done my homework yet but I hope to get to my journal cover very soon...I am so far behind that I think I am at the beginning sometimes!

    Thank you for the peace that you give all of your followers, especially me :)

    Trusting in Him,
    Kendra
