This week’s giveaway will highlight the Reflections category. It’s where I just share things from my life and family. So I thought I’d make the giveaway a bit more personal too, and send the winner a little care package of my favorite things. I’m praying that this goes to someone who really can use a little pick me up.
Here’s a closer peek at what will be in the box:
- Adorable mug
- Tower of tempting teas
- Peppermint lip balm
- Best chocolate bar in the history of ever
- Super cute notebook with blueberries on it &
- My favorite kind of pen (pictured below in update)
- Pink Himilayan Salt in bag
- A spice jar that I will fill with your choice of my own homemade Ranch, Greek, Chili, or Taco seasoning mix
Hope this is a little ray of sunshine into someone’s day…click below to enter! 🙂
Update: here is a picture of my favorite kind of pen, and this is the one I’ll be including in the giveaway. I also want to thank you guys for entering, commenting and sharing the giveaways! I’ve had so much fun giving things away (giving gifts is my love language), and it’s killing me not to reply to your comments, but I don’t want to mess up the contest. 🙂 )
I love the ebony Recollections pen with the super fine tip. I get them at art supply stores a couple of times a year and guard them with my super Ninja moves because people around here steal pens.
