Are you ready for some more Giving and Giveaways?
Are you ready for some truly beautiful giveaway items today? Are you ready to learn about some more organizations making a difference?
I am SO excited about these! Kinda wish I could enter my own giveaway.
I am a sucker for old hymns (as you have probably figured out by now,) so when I found Heather's Etsy shop, The Not So Blank Canvas, by way of her FB page, I fell head over heels with this painting (along with several others, including this one and this one. Is it extra bad to covet faith- inspired art?)
This is an original 14x18 hand painted canvas.
There are several colors available and the winner of this giveaway get's to pick THEIR FAVORITE ONE in this style! How sweet is Heather to do that?? Please go right away and visit her at The Not So Blank Canvas and check out ALL her beautiful paintings. You may just find something perfect to give for Christmas.
Heather Harrison is one of those lovely people with whom I should probably be better friends with because we love many of the same people, wore the exact same wedding dress all those years ago (it was a small pool to choose from back then) and are busy raising boys. We have only been in the same room on a handful of occasions, but from what I can tell, she is just as down-to-earth and lovely as her artwork. Heather's favorite non-profit is YoungLives where she helps to mentor teen moms.
Treating each mom and her child or children with unconditional love and respect, YoungLives offers teen moms relief from the isolation and struggle of their daily lives and hope for the future. YoungLives mentors provide friendship, parenting advice and help meeting the practical demands of raising a child. At YoungLives club and camp, moms get to socialize and have fun while their babies get the best possible care.

But wait. We are not done yet. In addition to Heather's painting, I am also excited to be able to giveaway this beautiful handmade necklace by my friend Nicheyta. I have several of be Free Design necklaces and I love them ALL. I love how she incorporates words and phrases into her jewelry. I have one of her tiny lockets and I often wear it when I need a reminder that "all will be well." Make sure to see all her latest creations on her the be Free Designs Facebook page.
Nicheyta (far left) is a dear friend who lives close but who I do not get to see enough of. Her heart and her wealth of creativity are as big as her smile, if not bigger. She chose the Arkansas Dream Center as her favorite non-profit saying " I love the Arkansas Dream Center in LR and Conway. I've seen first hand how it has impacted the lives of children and families that have been a part of it."
The Arkansas Dream Center is non-profit dedicated to helping Arkansans. We provide hope by meeting both tangible and spiritual needs.
It is very simple. We are going out into the communities of Arkansas, we are seeking out the hurting and the hopeless; then we are doing whatever it is we can to meet those needs and to make life better. We reach out to hurting and needy children, families and adults across all races and cultures each week.

ReplyDeleteLOVE Young Lives! I would definitely keep the art and maybe give away the necklace, but I'm not making any promises! FB page liked :)
ReplyDeleteI would give the art as a present and keep the necklace for myself.

Both are absolutely gorgeous! I have been looking for a piece of art for over our sofa and would love that one for myself, the necklace would be a gift for a girlfriend. Thanks for the great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI'm also following you now on Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteI know the nice thing to say would that these would be gifts....but to be honest I would keep them! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering such lovely creations! I love them both but would keep the painting (a fav hymn of mine) and share the necklace with my mom.
ReplyDeleteI'm already following you on Pinterest and (gasp) am not on facebook etc. :-(
Hugs

Both are lovely. I would keep the sign and gift the necklace to my mother. She would love it!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...well my first thought is to keep both of those great pieces. But I'm starting to feel guilty, so I'd probably keep the art work to hang in my office and give the necklace to my daughter. Maybe my daughter and I can share the necklace :)
ReplyDeleteI already follow you on pinterest.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that painting. i think i would keep it. and the necklace i would probably give to my sister - although, it's pretty neat too, so i might just keep it. :-)
ReplyDeleteand i follow your page on facebook.
ReplyDeleteI love both of the items in the giveaway - would definitely keep the wall art! And perhaps, if I'm feeling generous, might would give the necklace to a friend :)
ReplyDeleteI "liked" you on Facebook and follow you on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteI hope Canadians can be included in this great giveaway. That print is gorgeous; it would look perfect in my bedroom and it would remind me daily to let go of what I cannot control, give it to God and repeat "It is well with my soul". Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be following you on instagram! FUN! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the painting and the necklace, while I would love to keep them I think I'd probably end up giving them as gifts.
Happy Day!
I love them both, but we don't have much for Christmas gifts, so I would probably gift them both to friends! Thank you for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI already like you on facebook and follow you on pinterest!
ReplyDeleteHey Jeru,
ReplyDeleteI would have people to give both to so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's my lucky day!
I love both these pieces. My sister would get to artwork because she loves that hymn and my grandaughter would get the necklace because she is all of that. <3. Love your blog and your giveaways.
ReplyDeleteI would keep one and give one. Love both.
ReplyDeleteI would give these beautiful pieces away to my 2 daughters...one loves jewelry and one just bought her first house! Perfect!

ReplyDeleteI'd really want to keep one and give one (or both) away...but I'm not sure I could! I might end up keeping both!! I've been coveting one of Heather's paintings for a while now. :)
ReplyDeleteand following you on instagram!
ReplyDeleteI would like to keep both, but would most likely share with one or more of my six children.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Facebook, twitter and Instagram.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely - I would give the necklace to my daughter but I think I would keep the print!
ReplyDeleteOh I love both! The painting goes well with my colors. :) And the necklace looks cute! Dani might fight me for it, though, so it could end up as a gift. lol
ReplyDeleteI would hope i would give them away..but I bet I would keep one!

These are beautiful! I think I would definitely keep the painting...I need that reminder, but I might share the necklace, although I need that reminder too....
ReplyDeleteI love the poster and it resonates so much with me. I would have to keep it. I also love the necklace and feel it is so appropriate at this time of year, esp. I would probably let my daughter have the necklace, as she wears jewelry more often than I do. Thanks, Roseann

I love the Hymn "It is well with my soul," love the print and love the necklace! But so would my mom! So...I think I'd keep one and give one to her as a pressie!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Emily

ReplyDeleteLove both pieces! I would keep the "It is well" sign, but give away the necklace.
