Ooooohh…Look…

Michelle Thibodeaux from M Design Photography sent me these adorable pictures from a recent sitting at her studio. Sooo…what do you think? Huh?–huh?

Aside from the gorgeous baby and the amazing photography skills, do you notice anything…else? Hmmmm?

Need a hint?

Check out the sweet little flapper hat.

Looks pretty darn familiar to me, I’ll tell you. Heh, heh, heh…because it’s FROM MY SHOP!!

Oh…was I yelling? Sorry, I can’t help myself. It’s just so exciting.

{sigh}

Famous at last.

Well, at least the hat is.

So, to celebrate this new found fame–of sorts–let’s have a giveaway!

Click HERE, to see my shop.  Look around, then tell me in the comments below which hat you’d choose if you were to win one. Simple as that. The winner will receive their choice of hats from my shop.

Now scurry along…and come back.

I’ll announce the winner on Monday September 27, 2010 at 10 am sharp.

So…which will YOU choose?

Summer “Readathon” Giveaway

In the summertime–there’s one thing you don’t want to be sitting around the pool, or the beach or laying back in the hammock without—and that, darlings, is…a really good book.

Speaking of which—the four books–pictured here–are just a few of the titles that we’ve been reading at our place, and positively loving.

Now everybody knows that the next best thing to experiencing a fabulous book, is sharing it with a friend. So that’s what we’re going to do…

share.

And since:

A) it’s been a while since we’ve had a giveaway, and

B) we totally have good books on our mind, and

C) we have a new Google Friend counter–on the right sidebar over there——>

we’ve decide to take this opportunity to…ahhhh…multi-task, let’s just say.

So, if you’d like to have our little Summer Readathon Collection for your very own–and who wouldn’t?–here’s what you need to do…

1) Go to the Google Friend Connect box on the right

2) Become a “friend” of Gracious Rain by clicking “join this site.” It’s quick and painless…I promise.

3) Come back here and leave a comment with the title(s) of your favorite book(s).

Simple as that. You’ll be entered in the giveaway and may just walk away with a Summer Readathon of your very own.

We’ll announce the winner on Friday July 16, 2010 at 10 am–one week from today.

Go. Run. Fly. Be our friend.

May the force be with you.

A Few More Friends…

Twilight Eclipse Friends that is.

And just look what they’ve sent us as giveaways for our Eclipse Opening Night Theater Bash! This gorgeous double strand bracelet is from Jennifer at Magnolia Chick Designs.

This amazing photo–and many more shots taken in Forks, Washington, and LaPush beach came from our friends at Plum Lane Photos.

The sweet people over at Angie’s Iris sent a bottle of real, true sand from First Beach in LaPush–and went the extra mile and sent me a mini bottle of my own!

The mother/daughter team of NatLZol sent us art prints, a pendant and this embroidered pillow case.

And of course, our darling Jenny over at WeeKnit made this “Twilight Eclipse” set of finger puppets for the giveaway. Can you guess who is who?

Ok, now–admit it. You know you want to come with us to our theater and to the pre-movie Eclipse giveaway bash. So if you’d like to have a good shot at winning any of nearly 100 prizes and you can’t seem to get tickets to the opening night of Twilight “Eclipse” and you live reasonably near Utah County, and you’d like to come to our party–email me at Launi@GraciousRain.com.

Oh, and do hurry…there are only about 6-8 seats left.

Run, run. Fly, fly. Email me quick.

Team Twilight!

 

Cookbook Bonanza…

Winner~

Christina!

Christina said:

“I have a unlikely recipe involving cheese-its, peanut butter, and white chocolate. Sounds terrible, but delicious. I would love to win this fantastic bonanza. I have a great lack of cook books. I have one my mother literally hand wrote, in pencil. And that’s about it.”

Congratulations Christina!

Thanks to everyone for the fabulous recipe ideas. I’ll get right on those.

:]
