{Giveaway #1} Awesome $50 Target Gift Card


{Giveaway #1}  Awesome $50 Target Gift Card


To celebrate the  
4th of July!


 You know the world of blogging is awesome for many reasons.  One reason, for me, is making friends.

Now I met this gal – Renae – from the great state of Utah.  She is a hoot – kind of like me, but she is a much braver hoot than I am.  She literally posts photos of herself in what she thrifts at thrift-shops!  No kidding!  I find that amazing.

How many of us are brave enough even to put our face on our blog?  Renae takes photos of herself from head to toe.  She can pay $10 for an entire outfit at times.  Can you do that?



Her blog is Renae at Simple Sequins - click here.




Is she pretty or what?


We got together and decided to do a $50 Target Gift-Card as a Giveaway because we both love our buddies - and this is a great way to celebrate the 4th of July with a BANG!

THE LAUGH:

















THE LIFT:



So do a little living today!







Now I started a new Chatty Crone page on Facebook - 

CLICK HERE 

What my dream is - is to have a place we can kind of all meet - leave our joys, our funnies, our tears, our need of prayers, and out thoughts there.  So come on over and like it - and leave your 'footprint' there.  If you have a joke - or an inspiration - talk about the books you wrote - the paintings you draw - the photos you take - whatever - and we will become a community of hope.





Faith, hope, love and the greatest of these is love ~ sandie

  1. Hi Sandie, Sounds like a nice Giveaway --but don't include me please. Thanks!

    Renae sounds like a great friend... Isn't blogging awesome? I have so many very very special friends on here and on FB...

    I have no problem posting pictures of myself these days... After losing weight, I guess I'm sorta proud of myself... ha

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  10. I have followed Renae for a while.

    I'm not on bloglovin, so I could only do the two GFC entries ;-)

  11. Well, she is brave. I can't do a head to toe of me because I don't want to use up all my bandwidth with the size the picture would have to be.

    I followed her so I can get some of those head to toe dressing tips. I don't have a single blog friend in that "genre" and I NEED one.

    I'm still planning to hop to you from my sideboard, but I did follow you with the new bloglovin thing just to get that ball rolling for me and start gathering my peeps in one place.

  25. Never need a snooze alarm. Fortunately (I think) I have an inbuilt alarm clock and never sleep passed 5 am.

  26. I found you through Renae. She really is such a fabulous gal, isn't she. You both are, so I can see why you are such good friends :)

    Love that quote! I don't suppose you listen to Nikki Minaj, but I know that's a line from one of her songs.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think I entered. I am going to check out Renae's blog. I have been shy about posting any pics of myself and when I finally did yesterday, they certainly weren't the best I've ever taken! LOL!

  30. Nice giveaway, but don't include me either. After the Paula Deen deal I'm not shopping there anymore. I won't watch the Food Network anymore either.

    Have a terrific day honey. Big hugs. :)

  31. Whooo Hooo... great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  32. If I was as pretty as her, I would have my face everywhere!!! I am trying to enter, but these thingies always confuse me and in the end I never entered. That's why i just have to put everyone's name in a basket and draw. Oh well I will give it a go.
