Three.



Tis the season~
of when I started my blog.

Three years ago, I posted stories of our "big snowfalls" during December for friends and family in California (where snow is a novelty).....
who knew that this blog would grow and become one of my favorite things...

it has encouraged me to start crafting again.
it has given me a place to share my ideas for simple living.
it has shaped some unique friendships ("whoot whoot" to my fellow bloggers!).
it has given me a voice when at times I didnt think I had one.
it has been a saving grace in many ways.

with three being one of my favorite numbers....
although~ who knows why we have favorite numbers?????

I have a giveaway for you.
I have some handmade ornaments.
all in my favorite things....
buttons.
felt.
circles.
red.
and simple.

all you have to do is answer these three questions
1. what is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the word "three"?
2. what are three of your simple favorite things?
and
3. what is your favorite number?

leave your 3 answer to these questions in the comments by Friday the 9th (midnight)...... and the lucky winner will have these on their tree for the holiday.....

three cheers for blogiversaries!

  6. When I hear "3", I think of my three kids. I love having three kids, because it is MY FAVORITE number! Three simple things I love are... back scratches, snuggling in bed with my kids while telling stories, and sipping something hot by the quiet fire.
