Celebrating Three Years With Three Giveaways

 This giveaway is closed.  To see who the lucky winners are, go here.

Three years ago yesterday (July 17th), I wrote my very first blog post.  This is my 700th.  Some things haven't changed.  I still post recipes, photographs and document what we do around here, but I've also grown bolder over time.  I am no longer hesitant to write about what I believe and how this plays out in my day to day life.  My hope and prayer is that not only will you be challenged, but that you will feel free to challenge me if I start veering off the Jesus course.  It is always His course that I long to follow.

I am humbled and over-the-top honored that you all come and read my posts as often as you do.  The support and encouragement, advice, feedback and questions spur me on and make this blog-thing, oh, so much fun.  I really feel as if you all are my extended family and I hope you consider me the same.

To celebrate this three-year milestone and you 406 darlings that follow this little blog, I want to offer you a few little tokens of my appreciation.  They're not extravagant, mind you.  I'm guessing that you (like me) aren't impressed by extravagance anyway:-).

The Giveaways:

The three things I'm giving away are near and dear to my heart...

#1 A box of eight Ball Canning Storage Lids (you choose if you'd like wide mouth or regular mouth).  I love these lids and use them all the time.  They are so much easier to cap your opened jars with instead of messing with a canning lid and ring every time.

#2  Seeds Family Worship's newest CD, Seeds of Character.  I've blogged about these amazing CDs before and want to pass along another.  Each "CD" actually comes with two CDs so you can give one away to a friend.

#3 The best cooking-seasonally-from-the-garden cookbook I've come across, Simply In Season, the expanded version.  It's divided by season and is full of excellent healthy, easy to prepare recipes that don't call for ingredients I've never heard of.

The Rules:

In the comments below, tell me which prize you'd like to win.  You may only choose one (#1, #2 OR #3).  I will randomly choose winners from each category on Friday.  For example, I will chose one winner out of those who would like to win the jar lids, one winner out of those who would like to win the CD, and one winner out of those who would like to win the cookbook.  Only one entry per household is allowed.  Please leave your name or initials in your comment if you comment anonymously.  If for some reason you have trouble commenting, please email me your entry and I will post your comment for you.

Happy choosing and thank you so much for being such awesome readers!!

You all spoil me, you know?
