A Giveaway | Gadanke Birthday Journal

April is a popular birthday month in our circle of friends and family.

So when, Katie Clemons, the creator of Gadanke journals, approached me about giving away a birthday journal here on my blog, I couldn't say Yes! fast enough.

This Gadanke journal makes it oh-so-fun and easy to document a child's birthday.

Here's a peek at the contents of the kit:

Celebrating 40 Years of Marriage

Today, my parents celebrate forty years of marriage.

That's 14,600 days together as a married couple!

My mom and dad met in high school and began dating during the football season of 1971. (My dad was captain of the varsity football team. I know what your next question is going to be, so I'll just answer it: No, my mom was not a cheerleader.)

They married three years later on August 3, 1974. (They were twenty at the time, so in addition to celebrating forty years of marriage this year, they are also turning 60!)

Congratulations, Mom and Dad, on this HUGE accomplishment!

All of us--your three daughters, two son-in-laws, and three grandchildren--wish you many more happy years together.

We love you.

And the giveaway goes to...

4 Reasons to Celebrate + A Giveaway

Grand Canyon, January 2012

 

I'm celebrating today!

Why?

Because...

1 | This is my 400th blog post!

2 | It is Read Across America Day!  (And also Dr. Seuss's birthday.)
Read a book with a child--your son or daughter, nephew or niece, or a friend's child.  I'm planning to read Green Eggs and Ham with Noah this evening. 


3 | While looking through photos on my computer yesterday, I discovered that many of the pictures we took at the Grand Canyon (back in January) turned out great!  What a beautiful place, especially at sunset. 

4 | I've started working on my 2012 Project Life scrapbook.  Photos from January and February are ordered, and now it's on to the journaling.  Feels good to be documenting my favorite moments from the past two months.   

I don't want to be the only one celebrating today, though, so I've decided to do a GIVEAWAY!  (I love when bloggers hold giveaways on their blogs, so why not do one, right?!)   

One lucky person will win a $10 Amazon gift card.   

To be entered into the giveaway, please leave a comment below sharing one thing you're celebrating today.  (If you received this blog post via e-mail, please hop on over to my blog to post your comment.)  Comments will be closed on Monday, March 5 at 8 p.m. PST.  The winner will be posted shortly thereafter.  Please be sure to check back or subscribe to my blog to see if you will be receiving the giveaway item.  

Best of luck!
