WREATH MONOGRAM WOOD HANDLE STAMP GIVEAWAY!

WREATH MONOGRAM BESTOW BESOTTED BLOG

What joy to be back amongst the living again!  I think you may have gathered from my absence that I came down with my husband’s flu last week and indeed I did catch the influenza in a bad way.  I spent five days straight in bed where I did not even lift my head off the pillow. If I could have cried I would have, but I was in a delirium state so I didn’t.  Yes, I did lose weight-lot’s. When I asked my husband the other night what was for dinner he said, “Butter with a side of butter.”  He likes his wife with a little meat on her bones.  I can’t remember being as sick as I was since forever, next year I am getting the flu shot, yes I am.  Yup, no doubt about it.  Thank you to everyone that emailed to make sure I hadn’t gone the way of the Dodo, your little notes brightened my day when I finally could sit up and type again and I loved feeling missed (who doesn’t?)  Well, it’s Monday so I must get back to business as usual, no?  I made this stamp a while ago, but it’s so darling and I think it may have been forgotten with all the new items I have since added to the shop, but since I love it and you as well I am going to be giving one away.  To enter to win answer the following question by Sunday February 13, 2013–What 3 things are you most grateful for today?  I can tell you that number 1 is my health, 2 is my husband (even though he gave me the virus) he waited on his coughing, sneezing, fever ridden, delirious wife like a knight in shining armor and 3 would be a tie between my pups and you.  I will announce the winner next Monday, good luck!

For the previous giveaway, which was near impossible to choose, everyone left such great stories I ended up having to randomly choose and the winner is– Iris. Please email me to collect your prize!  Tomorrow I have some downloads for you that I can’t wait to share. Wednesday I have another great Pinterest Curator and Thursday I am going to answer some of your specific lettering questions that you have been asking me about.  This is going to be a great week!

    2. Time to wander in my thoughts to fine-tune plans for a week full of making (sewing, baking, painting)
    3. My ipad mini (to better Pinterest with – so very, very addicted)

  2. thank you for this giveaway, the stamp is just beautiful
    the three things i feel most grateful for today are
    1. my mother, even through our qualms and disagreements, i still would be lost without her.
    2. my piano, even through all my procrastinating when it comes to practice, it still give me the gift of music
    3. my home, as they say, home is where the heart is, and sometimes I take it for granted, just think of life without one, yet so many have to go through this.
    thanks again

  3. Tristan! so, so glad you are back and at ’em! I noted your absence every time I logged into my google reader :( I was hoping you we’re simply having a super busy, productive week… not knocking on death’s doorstep! buy yourself some avocados and croissants this week and you’ll be back to fighting weight in no time :)
    p.s. don’t take the flu shot!! totally up to you, but I’d rather fight a virus with good nutrition and healthy habits than giving myself a little dose of one out of thousands of strains of the flu that evolves every year! I’ll give you a nutrition action plan :) hope the recovery is swift!

  15. So sorry to hear you were sick! I`ve had a flu like that before where I was completely delirious so I know exactly how that feels (and it`s not very good!).
    Today I`m most grateful for:
    1. My boyfriend, who is there for me and supports me and is so caring and understanding
    2. My kitty, Little Muffin, and all her snuggles and cuddles and purring she gives to me. She was quite sick with kidney failure in October of last year but she beat the odds and pulled through so I make sure I cherish ever single day I have with her. She`s my fur-baby and I love her so! She reminds me that we should never ever take our pets for granted, and we should give them as much love as we can every single day.
    3. Breathing. It may sound silly but that`s the sign that I`m still here, I`m still in the land of the living and in the present. I`m learning to be mindful of my breath and it`s keeping me feeling centered and keeping stress away these days so I`m thankful for the good health that keeps me breathing and going.

    2. My husband as he was wonderful through it all despite also having the same bug at the same time.

    Whew…so happy we are all healthy!!
    So happy you are better too!

  24. feel better soon! What 3 things are you most grateful for today? …
    1. my 4 year old daughter and my almost 2 year old son , who somehow know that Mommy and Daddy are struggling and so stealthfully snuck (in my daughter’s words and sweet voice: “I’ll TIPTOE TIPTOE!) into bed with me at 1:30 am today, replacing my loneliness with warmth and love.
    2. my dear friend heath, who is moving out of country this week and, though crazy busy, let me come over and help her pack last night. it always feels good to do good – and even better to have some quality time together to boot.
    3. the gifts that my friends are to my life, in various ways: there’s Beth, who went alcohol-, meat-, and processed food-free this spring and is a radiant example of why to do those things; Margaret, who is deliriously funny and amazingly outwardly focused, always knowing when to ask “what’s up?” and then take the time to really listen; and Philippa, with whom, though we hadn’t seen each other in a decade, conversation this weekend flowed as freely ans easily as if only 10 minutes, rather than 10 years, had passed.
    I am grateful for LOVE.

    1.Grateful for the hug and kiss I get everyday in the morning from my ever so happy first grade student (my husband and I don’t have kids).
