Friday Giveaway!

Happy Friday Ladies...
To "toast" the occassion of Summer's arrival, I thought I would do a little giveaway.


I came across this "Card Making Kit" after reading a post which inspired this giveaway...

How often do we take the time to send a letter, or in this case a card? I love getting mail and love sending a "Thinking of You" to friends and family...

This kit includes 33 pieces and hopefully from the picture you can see how "pretty in pink" all the little details are to make your own card...

Here goes...I will be doing a giveaway each Friday for the next couple of weeks...which means I have two more of these kits in two other designs and colors...

What to do? I will announce and share on Friday...and award the winner on Wednesday...
All you need to do is...

1. Join this site, in case you haven't...
2. Leave a comment saying Hello!
3. Leave your contact info...blogsite...or email.

That's it!

Have a Fantastic Friday!
Be Good to You.
Smooches,
Lola

Lingering Thoughts...

My fingers rest on this keyboard…Contemplating my direction…lingering thoughts…that fill my mind…What’s a girl to do? I ask this very question. What’s the answer? Maybe what I should be asking is…What is holding me back? And the answer is…Me.
 The feeling of being stuck…I imagine a road…a road that leads to…Somewhere, but where? Who am I?
The answer…
I am a lover and a fighter…I am a vision…inspiration…devotion and dedication…I am a Mother…Always and forever.

I am who I thought everyone wanted me to be…A Mother. A Wife. A Friend… As for Me being Me…I am Passion…longing…This is the word that best describes Me. Passion and ever so Passionate…The feeling is exuberating. Like warm Apple Pie…The sweet taste.
Expression…how does one express? By living…living a Passionate life. Loving the life You live…Taking chances…Risk. Traveling into the unknown…letting the “What if’s” fall away…Fear…it cripples. It robs You of Your Passion…Feel the Fear and do it anyway…Easier said than done…Control. To be in total control…Of what? You.
I take a deep breath…Again I ask…Who am I?
Soon…One day at a time…One Piece at a Time…After all, time is on our side, and yet we are not promised tomorrow…What are we (Me) waiting for?
I take responsibility…I will not point the finger…I will not play the blame game…I will…I will…and I can. This life is good.
Be Good to You.
Smooches,
Lola

Kreativ Blogger Award

I was awarded the "Kreativ Blogger" award, from a Fantastic Writer...Anne over at Writer's Space...Thank you Anne. (I know I'm a little late on this post!) And am touched by her thoughtfulness...

The award comes with the number 7: 7 things about me and 7 bloggers to pass this award to. So here goes....

Seven facts about me...


1. I don't eat fast food. Would you believe me if I told you I haven't had McDonald's french-fries in over 5 years? At least.

2. I love all things Boudoir. And would love to be a Boudoir photographer...the body is a beautiful thing.

3. I love music, who doesn't? But love me some BIG BAND music. So fun and cheery. I'm sure you might know this from past posts...But Frank, Dean, and Ella are some of my all time faves!

4. I can touch my tongue to my nose...kinda cool and gross at the same time?

5. Currently watching all 11 seasons of Frasier on Netflix...right now I am in season 10...Can't wait to see how it ends.

6. I'm overly neat. I'm the type to fluff the pillows before leaving the house...and don't think I'm the only one who does this...

AND

7. My all time favorite movie is...Home Alone. I can watch this movie anytime of year...

I hope you learned something new about me...Believe it or not, this was hard to do...and sad to say shouldn't be...we should all have DOZENS of facts about ourselves....

Any you'd like to share?

Now for the 7 Bloggers...also not easy to do since I love every blog I follow...

1. Lucy over at Find Your Sparkle
2. Ms. Linds over at Oh Miss Linds
3. Deyanira over at Swirling Embers
4. Rachel over at Modeste Musings 
5. Kelley over at Keep Sitting Pretty
6. Vonae over at Piece of Virtue

Thanks for stopping by...Happy Weekend!
Be Good to You.
Smooches,
Lola
