November "Grateful Giveaway"

I don't sell anything on my blog. I'm not making money. So why am I having a giveaway? Because I want to. It sounds like fun!

I've been feeling grateful for so many things. God. Family. Friends. Freedom. Stretchy pants. Coconut ice cream. The Internet. Shoes. You know, the important things in life.

In that spirit, I am hosting a humble giveaway. I found a fun assortment of Fall items and I want to give them away. Well I wouldn't mind keeping them, but the idea of passing these along just sounds, well, fun!

Here it is:

So what are all of these things? I'll tell ya...

This is a yummy, citrus- smelling candle





































This is one of my favorite treats. When I was 15 our family hosted a Swiss exchange student. Lucky for us her family sent chocolate on a regular basis. It was a sweet year. I've never recovered.





































This is a scrumcious smelling hand lotion. Don't blame me if you try it and want to nibble your hand all day.





































 Fall is the time for soup! This one looks enticing.





































Anyone noticing a pattern here? Everything so far either smells or tastes good. Well, now you know what to get me for Christmas (hint: anything that smells or tastes good). It's okay. You don't really have to get me a gift for Christmas. Unless you want to real bad.

These candles may or may not have a scent. I didn't check. I bought them purely on the basis of their looks. Superficial, I know. Wouldn't these look great all lit up on your table?

This kitchen towel doesn't have a smell. And I am pretty sure it wouldn't taste that amazing either. BUT, it is cute. I like owls.

I am muy grateful that I fly for free. It enables Ongo, the kiddos and I to stay close to all our family every where from New Zealand, Tonga, across the States and here in Alaska. We can go and see our friends whenever. Also it makes it so the sun and a beach are just a plane hop away. Family, friends, and sunshine...does it get better than that? :)

I am grateful for good friends whom I can rely on for fun and good memories, for friends that teach me through their example, and friends that help and comfort in times of need.

I get two since I follow your blog...hmmm, I am grateful for three little babies that keep me young (but sometimes wear me out).

I am grateful for toilet paper. Could you imagine life without this?? Without this wonderful product we would have rashy bottoms from using leaves/grass or worse yet have stinky hands...eeew. I am internally grateful to whomever came up with this invention. =D
