I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT, GUYSSSS! 1,000 FOLLOWERS! EXCEPT BECAUSE I TOOK SO LONG TO POST THIS, NOW IT’S 1,190 FOLLOWERS!!! OH MY GOODNESSSSSSSS! Just think… before being featured on WordPress Discover, I had 150 followers. That’s really pretty great! And now…. *GASP* It’s simply amazing.
Thank you all soooooo, so much! You guys are one of my top favorite parts of blogging. ♥ I’ve met Clara, Grace, Hayley, K. A., Misty, Rebekah, Josie and so many more lovely girls through blogging. I love you! ♥
In celebration of this momentous moment in my blog’s life, I’m hosting a giveaway (in case you haven’t noticed). 😀
» The Prize «
- A miniature garden kit to make a garden similar to this one. This includes the following:
- 1 glass terrarium globe
- A mini-bag of soft, green, dried moss
- A mini-bag of blue glass pebbles
- 3 clay succulents (made by me)
- 1 clay mushroom (made by me)
- 1 shiny, marbled clay stone (made by me)
- Plus a few other tidbits I might throw in 😉
2. Your choice of one of the following coupons for my Etsy shop:
- 30% off any item
- Free shipping on any item
» How to Enter «
- If you are under 18, please get a parent’s permission before entering this giveaway.
- I will need your email address and/or your address so I can notify you and give you the prizes. But of course I will NOT share either of those – they’re safe with me. 😉
- To enter, comment saying you would like to enter (well duh), and include a bible verse, quote, or riddle (or all of the above) that you like.
- NOTE: This giveaway is only open to my readers living in the United States. I’m so sorry about that, but shipping gets complicated (not to mention expensive) otherwise. 😥
» To Collect Extra Entries… «
- Take my survey to collect one extra entry – but please take it only if you actually read my blog or it won’t help me much. 😉 (By the way, this is a new survey, so none of you have taken it yet as far as I know.)
- Share this post on Pinterest or social media to collect one extra entry. (NOTE: You may share this post as many times as you like, but you still will only get one extra entry.)
- Share any other post from my blog on Pinterest or social media to get one extra entry. Please pick a post you actually like instead of randomly sharing any post. (Again, only the first share will give you an extra entry, but I’m ecstatic if you want to share more! 😀 )
»When Will This Giveaway Close?«
- This giveaway will close October 28th at 12:00 am, ET. You have only two weeks!
- On October the 29th I will announce the winner. I’ll also add the bible verse, quote, or riddle they included with their entry, as well as my favorites from the rest of the participants – just to add a little extra fun. 🙂
AAAAHHH THIS IS SO EXCITING! Thank you guys once again for reading my blog. ♥

There is SOO many good Bible verses! Here is one passage, though: Isaiah 40:25-31. I would write it out for you, but it is too long, so you’ll just have to look it up yourself 🙂 A quote…”I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun is risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” ~C.S. Lewis. A riddle (I think you would consider this a riddle, but not sure): You are in a room with walls, a roof, floor, no windows, no door, a mirror and a table. How do you get out? (Shall I give you the answer or should I leave you puzzled for a bit until you ask for the answer? I think I’ll leave you puzzled)
Is there any way that I can give you my e-mail without posting it on here? I guess maybe on the ‘contact me’ page?
Does e-mailing your ‘Autumn photoshoot: Undeniable’ post to my friend count as sharing a post? Seriously I was going to e-mail it to her before I even saw this post and one of the extra-entry options! I really enjoyed that post and song, so I sent it to her. And, I’ll share this giveaway on my blog. The post should be up in a little bit.
What a fun prize! Great job on the succulents–I thought that they were real until you said they weren’t 🙂

It feels like I’ve heard something like that before, but I can’t figure out the answer? Do you do something with the mirror, like make a “hole” with it and climb out or something? Yikes, I don’t know!
Sure, the contact page would work just fine!
Yeah, emailing the post to your friend is fine – because that’s the best kind of sharing: sharing because you actually like the post!
