Week of Giveaways - Day 5

The little ones have found their voice. They coo and kick and grab eachother's hands and I can't say I have ever felt such joy in my life as the earliest parts of the morning watching these two play. As the day goes on they get tired, and sometimes cranky, but these early morning playing, cooing, giggling sessions are priceless, and I am ever more grateful each day for the opportunity to be their mother.

Week of Giveaways Day 5

Thank you so much to the 29 people who played along with our THIS or THAT giveaway! It was wonderful for me to get to read your comments and to get to know you that much better. I am so humbled by the fact that you all have chosen to come to this space and read along, and am ever grateful to you for it. 

As I said above, we had 29 entries for yesterday's giveaway and I put them into random.org's lucky number generator. 

The winner is #21 -  Just Jessie! 

Congratulations Jessie, please email me your address at doinggoodinhername(at)gmail(dot)com and I will be happy to get this in the mail to you. Indicate in your email whether you would like the custom painting or the purse!

Today's Giveaway!

Today I am giving away this beautiful butterfly necklace. It is a silver butterfly set against a beautiful blue and green background.

Here are some closer up images of the butterfly itself...

I wish the picture was clearer
(I am a notoriously bad photographer and I apologize).

I chose this item to give away because I always associate my little Peyton with butterflies. In fact, in certain parts of the world there are laws on the books making it illegal to kill butterflies because they are believed to be the souls of little children who have passed on.

How To Enter:

If you would like to be entered into my giveaway to win this beautiful necklace, please leave a comment below. In your comment put a link to your own blog, and a few words to describe it like "this blog follows me TTC" or "just a blog where I showcase my crafts." If you want to stay anonymous that is fine too, no need to list a link, just tell us a line or two about yourself.

Okay, happy entering and thanks for playing along!

**A few housekeeping notes:

Doing Good In Her Name is currently seeking donations of children's books to build a bookshelf for use at Danbury Hospital's brand new NICU. Our hope is that these books will help to make the stay for these families a little more pleasant. The books are for children of all ages, as they can be read to NICU patients, and their siblings. At the end of their stays, they will be welcome to take the books home with them. We are collecting books through June and are still quite a far ways out from our goal. If you can help at all, please visit here. All donations are tax deductible.

Exhale Magazine's first visual arts contests was too close to call, so we are asking our readers to vote for their favorites by voting on Exhale's facebook page. Simply "like" your favorite to cast your vote. This voting continues through June 1st.
