My Life and a Giveaway from Sorta Southern!

After I posted Pick Your Plum's Washi Tape deal, I had every intention of returning to blogging and sharing fun tutorials and tips with you.  But life came along and brought some tragic news into my life....  a dear friend and co-worker passed away suddenly just a few hours after our last shift together.  I have spent the last 12 days grieving deeply at this loss and finding the strength to return to an office that was infiltrated by such a friend.

I tried many times to write a brief update so you wouldn't be left hanging, but each attempt ended in tears and shutting my laptop.  I'm sorry for not being able to keep you informed sooner.  

But it's a new week, right?  And although I will never forget this dear friend, I will continue to be a nurse, return to work, and blog again.  The last two weeks I've been more intentional than ever to read the Word of God, seek out friendships that encourage my soul, and find joy in God's good gifts to us.  I've been reading more books to my kids, sewing with worship music and having late-night chats with my hubby. 

So let's get back into blogging and sharing and start this week with something that makes us smile..... a giveaway!

My cousin, Paige, started Sorta Southern Boutique and she's graciously offered a smartphone wallet as a giveaway!

Paige sent me a smartphone wallet so I could see for myself how awesome these little babies are!  I was really impressed with the quality and durability of the wallets.  As you unzip the wallet, you will find ample room for your credit cards, money, and cell phone.  This is a great accessory for a new mom who can't seem to manage a diaper bag and a purse (I was NEVER able to accomplish that!), a working mom who needs a grab-and-go wallet, or a young college student who wants the portability of such an all-in-one accessory.

This giveaway is for one smartphone wallet in either lavender or mint.  Giveaway ends February 6, 2013.
