First, our daughter is getting married on June 10th in our backyard. We are so excited and a little stressed trying to get things looking beautiful outside after a long and unforgiving winter. But, all the signs are here that Spring has finally arrived in the northeast.
Second, we are celebrating new life. Mom robin has built a nest behind the seat of "Mr. Wonderful's" old tractor. Here is a picture one day after the eggs hatched.
She was gracious enough to let me get close enough for a picture without dive-bombing me. Now, I don't mind telling you that Mr, Wonderful could certainly use the tractor for some of our yard work right now but doesn't dare disturb the nest. He is a big teddybear at heart!
And last, I am celebrating 100 followers to my new blog. WOOHOO!!! Thanks so much to each and every one of you for finding my jibberish even slightly interesting.
OK...now for the giveaway....
I have for you Little Peep who is obviously celebrating something. Spring, I think....
Little Peep is approximately 10" high and is made of paperclay and quilt shop quality fabrics. Her body has been aged for that vintage look we all love so much. Her cutsy feet afre made of barkwire. She is my interpretation of a sweet pattern by Brenda Gervais.
If you would like a chance to win Little Peep then you must.....
~~be a follower of this blog. New followers are welcome.
~~leave a comment on this blog post telling what you celebrate about Spring.
~~If you would like to post the giveaway to your blog or sidebar it would certainly be appreciate. Please let me know in your comment and I will give you an extra entry,.
Entry deadline is June 11th and the drawing will be held on June 12th. Good luck!
hugs,
Carol

Hi Carol - your little peep is so sweet! Pls enter me in your drawing. I am a follower, I will post on my sidebar and all of the new life that surrounds us in spring is alway worth celebrating! Thanks! ~*~Lisa
Oh Carol!!! This little sweetie is TOO, TOO, CUUTE!!! I LOVE her! I'd be so honored if you would enter me in your giveaway. I've also posted to my sidebar (although I'm not sure I want everyone to know about this and "dilute" my chances of winning!!) ;o) (And I'm warning you now....if I don't win her, I'm still going to WANT her, so I'll be truly grateful if you consider doing some for sale!! I doubt my lucky streak is going to hold out much longer!)
What I celebrate about spring is living....all the new life that stirs - new plants, new leaves, new nests full of birds....Everything wakes, groggily at first, from winter's hold and then just seems to explode in rebirth...
Thank you most kindly dear heart! Smiles & Hugs, Robin

Hi Carol!
How cute and how clever you are! I'm a follower and I've posted your giveaway to the side bar of my blog.
If I won this adorable little peep, I would give it to my 89 year "young" Mum. Mum has an April birthday and when I think of Spring, she comes to mind first and foremost. She is an avid gardener and gets all her beautiful flowers growing ....one can see daffodils and iris and her tulips popping up after a long and dreary winter! Spring equals Mum for me!

Carol,
What a nice peep for spring decorating. I celebrate by planting the garden, decorating the outside of my home and maybe purchase some more hens for the coop. I love to be outdoors tending to the farm and animals. I am currently feeding some baby birds that fell from the nest and were left by the mother. Nothing like nature and all it's wonder.
Please enter me in the giveaway. I am a follower and will post on my sidebar.

Hi---I am a new follower to your blog, I have been visiting for awhile and I love your news and pictures. I would like to join the give-away. I don't have a blog yet, I hope that is okay. What I love about spring is all the flowers popping out the birds singing and the beautiful warm weather.
Your giveaway is darling. I have become a new follower, and have put a link on my sidebar and want to toss my name into the hat for a chance to win this little peep. So cute. Well Carol, spring seems to have sprung around here. We've had rain. I see on blogs that folk have had storms, wind, rain, hail, lightning and all, so spring is welcome for a lot of us. I don't have a ritual for spring really, but do get out the old dust rags and I always buy some sort of flowering plant. And I do have a bowl of water in my entryway that gets replenished every 2nd day with fresh snipped blooms. Lately it's been lilacs so when you walk in you smell the scent. Lovely!!! Thanks for this giveaway, *smiles* Norma
Hi Carol: I'm a new follower and have posted your adorable chick on my blog as well. I like all the different greens that you see in the spring as different trees and bushes start leafing out. And I can't wait to get out in the garden and start planting! Thanks for offering this giveaway. ~Roberta

Hi Carol Sweetie...
I am Country Wings in Phoenix, your newest follower. Oh I am SO in love with Lil Peep, and your blog is just fabulous. Your writes are so wonderful to read. I so enjoyed seeing the Robin's nest. Lucky for her DH wasn't in need of the tractor, or it wasn't one he drives anymore. Just precious.
How exciting. A wedding coming? I can't wait to see those photos, and yes I would say you are going to have your hands full. What a wonderful time.
I am so in love with your Lil Peep Creation. What a beauty she is. Please enter me into the drawing. I would love to bring this Lil Chick to Phoenix. She would be happy in the desert here.
I have also posted your giveaway in my scroll bar. I would so love to have you visit, and be thrilled to have you follow as well. I love meeting new friends and sharing our day to day lives along the way.
Have a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Many country hugs sweetie, Sherry
