THERE'S GLADNESS IN REMEMBRANCE!
Greetings Friends and Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a blessed day filled with good times shared with family and friends.
As the dinner is prepared, the parades enjoyed by many and the Christmas shopping begins, I want to send to you my thanks for a year filled with friendship and joys in blogland.
While I would love to send each one of you a special gift, I send you my thanksgiving with my Christmas giveaway and drawing to be held on December 10, 2010
Just leave a comment on this post to enter and another entry if you choose to follow. That's it!
I look forward to giving away a special gift with my best wishes for a beautiful Christmas and New Year filled with all God's blessings.
I would love to send someone this pretty vintage keepsake box. These vintage boxes were once given to high school girls as a gift at graduation. For this one I have hand painted it a light soft pink and accented the outside bottom with soft white stripes, and roses with side rose buds. The top graces a vintage graphic that reads, "There's Gladness in Remembrance" perfect for holding dear letters, postcards, or small keepsakes. Glittered for sparkle and finished inside with corner roses, lid rose and little pearly drop with ribbon at the original locking fixture.
Trimmed in pink millinery and ready for a giveaway winner.
Thank you for your blogging friendship, visits, comments and shopping in my boutique. You mean more then you know.
Good Luck!
Celestina Marie

Dear Celestine,
I received your ornaments yesturday and adore them!! unfortanetly I had a glich with Make Mine Pink Ornament Swap, they did not receive my e-mail. I did not find this out until I posted something on my blogspot. So, to my surprise when I received your package I couldn't believe it because I was never sent any names to send mine to, I just thought they din't include me. Now there are people who are out of an ornament, I just feel awful. Please contact me if you can.
Thank you so very much again.

How beautiful Celeste! I remember my sister ha a keepsake boke from somewhere. It was given to her at graduation and it was cedar lined. I think it may have been made by Lane Cedar Chest Co. Anyway, I found it years ago in my mother's garage all dirty and the key lock was missing. I took it home cleaned it up and now it holds hankies. I may paint it, however. But I would love to win your giveaway...your's is way prettier!
I have completely lost my voice now......sigh
have a beautiful Thanksgiving!
OMG!!! my vision is so bad I cannot read the letters....that's BOX, not boke LOL!
Hi sweet friend! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Been M.I.A. lately. Too fires in the iron and I could do everything.
Just got back from FL celebrating my mom's 85th birthday. So nice to have about 14 of us with her.
Looks like you have been very busy as well.
Love all the things you've been painting.
Always enjoy my visits.
Love and hugs during this holiday season.
