A Review and A Giveaway!

I recently had the exciting opportunity to receive a pack of free “Hope and Encouragement” themed greeting cards (pic. above and below) from DaySpring, in exchange for writing a review on my blog. So I thought, why not? And jumped on this opportunity for 2 reasons. The first one is obvious, I love free. Who doesn't? But I also happened upon this giveaway at just the perfect time, as I’m trying to write more cards of gratitude and encouragement to those in my life (click to see #9 in this post). I also know what a blessing it is to be on the receiving end of a card of encouragement or thanksgiving.



In this day and age where handwritten notes are hard to come by, I love opening the mailbox and finding one. It makes my day! As I was reading through this particular set of beautiful cards (being encouraged myself just from reading them), I thought about how much I would love to be on the receiving end of such an uplifting card; that someone thought enough to pass these words of truth onto me. The messages on each of the cards are from Holley Gerth’s devotional God’s Heart for You: Embracing Your True Worth as a Woman(Harvest House Publishers), so it’s almost like a mini-devotional within each card. The only drawback to this, for me personally, was that it was kind of difficult for me to find my one card to send off with just the right message for either the particular women I wanted to send cards to or one that was exactly fitting with their particular situation right now. But I am certain these cards will not sit long waiting to be sent off!


In the meantime, I do already plan to giveaway, as a gift, the above beautiful accordion card organizer that arrived along with the cards (you can still get one this month 70% off for only $4.99, plus s/h). It is sturdy and colorful, and has dividers with each month’s name at the top that you can remove and write “Birthdays” or “Days to Remember” for that particular month, on the lines provided. And I love the verse that is printed on the front, “I will bless you…and you will be a blessing,” Genesis 12:2. So fitting.

So if receiving beautiful free product in exchange for a review on your blog sounds like something you’d be interested in (once every 3 months!), just follow this link for more information on next month’s giveaway, which I’ve already peeked at and it’s awesome!

And if you would like to leave a comment here below by 12am on 1/23, about what a handwritten note of encouragement or thanksgiving means to you, you will be entered in my drawing for a $20 coupon to DaySpring’s online store (with a $20 min. purchase; s/h charges will apply to your order).

I look forward to hearing from you!
