A Five Year Blogaversary and a Giveaway

Today marks five years that I officially began writing this blog. I started it because my friend Barbara talked me into it! I dedicated the blog to my middle's little dog Tinkerbell that was ill with liver cancer. She passed away on May 26, 2010. It was a sad time, the previous Saturday before her death I lost a good but estranged friend Michelle. She was 47 and passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack. I did not know then that four short months later my friend and mentor from Princess House, Jonel would also pass away, at age 47 from a massive heart attack. Sadness. It slaps us like a brutal, cold wind on a wintery day.I started blogging about more personal things, my phamily more often than anything and occasionally striking out at various illnesses, diseases, and other topics dear to me. I like to laugh, I find humor can save us from just about any situation that is hard to understand. Then there is my faith. without it, I would be, empty.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 I am feeling sad today too. I was cleaning the garage with my hubby and Jeremy let his three dogs out! The two bigger ones tripped me up and I was hurting, You know when you fall and try to catch yourself, stop yourself ! Then I signed on to my Face Book account. Sadness. I lost my precious cousin Audrey today. We had so much fun visiting at FB and her loss saddened me tremendously. I hope you will pray for her phamily. They are going to be so lost without her. If you have a moment you may go to my FB page Anne Kocman Robinson and read my post.
I am very blessed..The reason I had originally wanted to post today  because it is my blogaversary and I am going to have a giveaway! Just a few surprises so please just leave a comment and I will draw the winner on Sunday November 9th after I return home from Kansas. I will put together a nice giveaway so please come join me.

Individual talents, your thoughts, photos, mementos, family treasures. Each one of us brings something to the table and some days blogger just refuses to cooperate like a spoiled child! Yvonne was blogging about this and I thought I would follow her lead! If blogger won't let us comment or visit than we can at least put the word out! Thanks Yvonne, you are a super lady! Thanks for sharing your love and I am sending some right back to you!
Please read my previous posts so you can catch up with me on all the fun upcoming things we have going on!
Now I am giving away something pink. It is something special and it is for a very special someone who follows me and leaves comments here! That person is.....

Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are like beautiful books but they are chock full of yummy recipes. I thought this was a nice send off to the CHRISTmas season which will be here before we know it.

We found out recently that the hubby and I can tag along the Vegas vacation with Phil and the middle from their Sonic employer win.

My Book Giveaway Win



I am going to post my book pics! My camera has been acting up! I keep getting blurry photos. But I won this amazing giveaway at http://godsheart-heart2heart.blogspot.com/.Kat is an amazing woman who reviews books and does an excellent job! She is so gracious and generous and always giving so many resources to those of us who want and need these things.

The first book is Mother-Daughter Duet. It is a book regarding adult daughters and their mothers. I am going to enjoy this one as I have three girls ages 34, 21 and 18. This will be an excellent book to share as all four of us are avid readers! It will be fun to read and see all we get out of our relationships with each other!

The next book is Real World Parents. Now, I have to tell you, this book may be geared for parents with younger kids and the other day at my office where I work for a busy ENT doctor our Audiologist was calling a patient back for their appointment with her. She asked the child to pick up the toys in our kid area and the mom snaps "We did not make the mess!" and walked back into the clinic. Another patient who happens to be a teacher at a private Lutheran school shot back, "Yeah, and I will sell you some ocean front property in Arizona!" I thought maybe a parent like her could use this book with great advice. But I am a big chicken to approach someone I do not know very well so I will look around and find someone else to share this treasure with. Besides I have many friends with younger kids who can always use a bit of great reading!

Finally, and really my favorite, is a book for men titled "Living Life in the Zone". It is a 40 day spiritual game plan for men. It is perfect because my husband and two sons ages 24 and 16 could use this book for some "guy time".

I am tickled to have won this giveaway and I am always glad to stop by Kat's and see what she is up to reading next! I am not a greedy girl but I love winning and I like increasing my personal library any chance I can get!

Thank you Kat for these wonderful treasures. We have some family reading time to get busy with!

As you can see my camera is much better and I added a quick pic of the hubby and I as he enjoyes his new book too! Thanks again Kat!

Anyone for Tea? /My 100 Followers and 200 Post Giveaway

I recently reached 100 followers plus one all in the same day along with my 200 plus post! Since it is such a wonderful milestone in my short blogging career I decided that I need to have a super giveaway!

I am a Princess House queen! Anyone who knows me longer then a minute knows that I love my Princess House and I own just about every teapot they ever sold! Fortunately for you my beloved followers whom I cherish and adore I am giving away not one but two Princess House teapots.

Here is the first one above. It is a stoneware teapot in the Vintage Garden collection (soon to be retired). Shhh...don't tell! It has the prettiest detail and the little cabbage rose top on the lid just adds to the whimsy of this darling teapot.

The second teapot is a hand blown hand cut teapot in the Princess Heritage design. This is an exclusive piece and can not be purchased. You have to host a show to earn this beauty! It is hand cut in the exclusive Heritage pattern and includes a lid and infuser for your tea and or coffee brewing pleasure. This pretty little teapot can be used on the stove top. It is a classic Princess House piece .



I will give away the first tea pot on May 31st. I will giveaway the second teapot on June 13th (my daughters 22nd birthday)!

You can enter my drawing for both teapots. Just simply leave a separate comment on the post telling me you want to win.If you like one and not the other just mention that in your comment.  If you send anyone over here and they follow me you can earn another entry for yourself and the new follower. Just mention who sent you over . You can earn two entries for each teapot. It is simple and a third entry can be had for posting about it on your blog .

You know I don't do well trying to post buttons so trust me you will see lots of weekly posts mentioning the giveaway! I hope you like what I choose to give away. These teapots are very special in my life and I like sharing. I wish I had all of you close by so I could show you my extensive collection of PH.

Just remember if you enter the giveaway make sure there is a way I can reach you.

It is easy and I love hearing from you so come join me for a little tea time phun!  I will draw the lucky winner before 8 P.M. MDT or MST (where ever we are with the time zone thing) on Saturday March 6, 2010! This will be the first of my Vintage Garden collection giveaway so if you like what you see please do join me!

I like to promote my home state of Colorado where I still reside so the Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea and the Madhava Honey Sticks are made right here in Colorful Colorado. I may add a jar of Serado Valley Jelly too. It is also from my home state.
