UPDATE: Giveaway is closed. THANK YOU for participating! Check back tomorrow to find out the WINNER!!!
In celebration of my 2-year blog anniversary, I wanted to host another Favorite Things Giveaway! This is my way of saying THANK YOU for taking the time to click over to my little blog, and for your words of encouragement over the last 2 years. I appreciate you all so much--and feel honored every single day when I see that you have clicked over here to read my blog.
So, here's the loot!!

All of these fun items are some of my FAVORITE THINGS I've written about here over the last 2 years. I'm actually kind of jealous--I want to win this stuff!!
Here are the items included in my Favorite Things Giveaway:
1. $15 Amazon Gift Card - Because reading truly is one of my favorite things. Click here to read about some of my recent book suggestions.
2. $5 Sonic Gift Card - There is nothing more FUN to give than a Sonic Happy! You don't know what a Sonic Happy is? Well, click here to find out! They would make WONDERFUL little treats for teachers this Valentine's Day!
3. One Year Women's Devotional - I received this same book for Christmas, and have used it every night since. The short daily devotionals always seem to talk about just the thing I need encouragement about. Plus, the attached ribbon bookmark? BONUS.
4. Lightweight Spring Scarf from Old Navy - This nautical-inspired navy, red, and ivory gauzy scarf just drew me right in. It took every ounce of willpower not to buy one FOR MYSELF. I mean--the scarf IS part of my Signature Look this winter...
5. Why Hug MarytheKay T-shirt - How could you resist this hot pink number? Don't understand the "Why Hug" philosophy? Click here to read all about my awkward hugging hangups. (Note: This t-shirt is only still available in Adult S, L, or XL.)
6. Strawberry Watermelon MiO- I want you to enjoy my favorite way to drink water. Mmm! Strawberry Watermelon makes me think I'm eating a snow cone.
7. Handy Dandy Pan Scraper - It's a simple thing, I know. But, I use mine every single day (Well...every day that I COOK, that is...which...is not necessarily every day.)
8. Haribo Gold-Bears - Only my ALL-TIME favorite CANDY!!! (And...I must confess--I DID buy myself a bag of these! I mean--it IS my birthday, right?)
9. Bon Bons- What would a MarytheKay giveaway be without Bon Bons? In particular, these are my favorite Ghiradelli chocolate-caramels.
And look! I'll wrap everything up nice and pretty in a red (my favorite color!) gift sack, and ship it right to the winner's doorstep!
