This morning I used Random.org to draw the winning entry for our Spring Time Giveaway. It was #62.
The Herbal Calendula Belly Butter would be my pick…cause I’m trying not to get stretch marks with my very first pregnancy!!

Well everyone, with fresh spring energy comes fun new things! I am hosting a giveaway for my dear friend Christie. She makes SPECTACULAR herbal body products at Birchwood Botanicals. I have a large collection of her items, and love using every one of them!!
Birchwood Botanicals carries a wide line of luxurious herbal body products. Christie lovingly grows a wide range of organic herbs and flowers that are hand harvested to use in her products.
If you have gifts that you need to get for a lovely lady in your life, whether it is for Mothers day, a birthday or any special occasion; any of the Birchwood Botanicals products would bring a huge smile to their face (followed with many ooohs, ahhhs, mmmmms, and THANK YOU!). These products are not only wonderful for the women in your lives, there are many of the products that men would love to use also.
The body butters come in a wide range of to die for scents. Made with Shae Butter they are wonderfully rich and moisturizing, and feel great to put on. When I spend a little too much time out in the garden without gloves on, and then come inside with dry rough skin. After washing the dirt from my hands I put some of this wonderful body butter, and my hands feel so wonderful!
The Avacado Foot Balm make your feet feel so wonderful. After a long day on your feet come home, soak them and then relax and massage your feet with this great balm. Feel the tension melting away.
These are just a couple of her many wonderful products. Visit Birchwood Botanicals website and read about everything else Christie has to offer.

A Handmade Giveaway
This Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered!
Here it is! This is my handmade giveaway. I love to share with the world in many different ways. And I thought it would be a lot of fun to participate in this giveaway with a few things that I have made.

First is this Shopping Bag. I loved this fabric from the moment I saw it. I have been wanting to make re-usable shopping bags for a while now, so I finally broke down and bought a pattern and some fabric and went for it. I have been very pleased with the results. I have only made a few so far, but plan on making many more in the future. This bag comes with its own little pouch to store it in when not in use. When you are using the bag, the pouch clips onto the side of the bag so you don’t loose it!

Second is the little Bluebird of Love. This cute little guy is one of the many needle felted creatures I have created. He is only a couple inches long, so he makes a great little pocket pet, or would be a great company sitting in a special spot.

Third is a hat that I recently made. I love the color of this yarn, the gentle shading effect. This one should be hand washed and laid flat to dry. I hope it can bring warmth to you or someone you love. There is nothing better than a handmade hat on a chilly winter day! Well maybe accompanied by a cup of warm coco.

And last but not least is a set of five cards. Each card has a different image of a bird in flight. These beautiful photographs were taken by my significant other, Bernie. The humming bird you see in this photo is one of the cards, but I will leave the identity of the other four a surprise for who ever wins this package! They are all stunning, and capture the personality of the bird. These are blank greeting cards, so that you can fill them with your loving thoughts and best wishes to family and friends.
I hope who ever wins this little package is filled with as much joy receiving it as I will have by giving it! To enter please leave a comment on this post telling me something that you love to do. Please enter only once, so that everyone has an equal chance. The deadline for entering this giveaway will be at 12:00am PST Saturday January 31st. I will pick the winner at random and contact them that weekend. This giveaway is open to everyone. Please be sure to include your e-mail in your entry so that I am able to reach you if you are the winner. If I can not get a hold of the winner by February 7th, I have the right to randomly pick another winner.

Getting Ready
I am in the process of getting ready for a couple of things. The biggest one is a road trip. Monday Bernie and I are heading south to visit his parents in the San Francisco Bay area. We do this just about every year, around this time. We will most likely spend about two weeks there, and then we are continuing on with a road trip. We are heading down through the desert. We have no idea what route we are taking, but we are just heading toward Arizona and see what catches our attention.
While we are at Bernie’s parents house we will have our computer and be able to do blog entries, but there is a high chance we will be leaving the laptop at his parents house so that we can leave the car for a couple of days to do hikes and not worry about things being stolen. In that case we will not be able to keep up with blog land *pout*. I have to say I have quite enjoyed the opportunity to meet all my friends out in blog land, and I will be sad to not be able to keep in touch for a little while. But we should have a quite enjoyable time on our road trip, so we should have lots to share once we are back near a computer.
The other thing I am getting ready for is participating in the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. I am trying to get together a nice giveaway package of items that I have made. I thought I would share the link in case anyone else felt like participating. Its fun, and its amazing how many people have giveaways during this week. It runs January 26th – 30th, with the drawings on the weekend. If you are interested in having your own giveaway or just entering in hundreds of giveaways when they come along visit:
