Vintage Snaps and Scraps...a Blessing After an Under-the-weather Weekend



There have definitely been better weekends for me! I've felt poorly the past several days--very poorly. I guess that's how it goes when a person has little children...and they get sick. We parents eventually get what they get, and it was my time. **sigh** Being ill reminds me of two things--1) to be MORE thankful when I AM well and 2) there are many people out there who are chronically sick and to be more in prayer for them. My heart goes out to those who are indeed very ill. I think the Lord allows sickness so that we pause to praise Him for health and to remember in prayer and words of encouragement those who are truly ill.
That being said, on Monday I received Kathy's package after winning her giveaway (see blog post about it below). What a blessing and encouragement! It was more beautiful than the pictures depicted. Kathy not only wrapped it beautifully (you know how I feel about prettily-wrapped items), but included a pen and a kind note. The whole thing was very professional, yet had a clear personal touch. If you have not ordered from her, I encourage you do to so. You won't be disappointed. Please check out her blog at http://vintagesnapsandscraps.blogspot.com to see where she sells her pretties. Thanks again, Kathy!

Help Kathy with a Research Giveaway!

I appreciate someone who wants to try to learn from others how to improve their shop or the things they are selling. It's not always easy to open yourself up for others to give constructive comments or even *gulp* criticism. Some people can be just way too frank--which is not necessarily needed. Anyway, for my first giveaway (that was awhile ago!), people had to participate in a poll. I learned a lot from it...was even surprised on some things. Soooo, why not take just a few minutes for a fellow Lollishop vendor and visit her blog to help her in her research AND enter her giveaway for a sweet lovely. Her pretty blog is at http://vintagesnapsandscraps.blogspot.com.
