The other day, I found ANOTHER one and decided that I want YOU to have it........


SOOOOOO, IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER


"JUST BECAUSE" GIVEAWAY

If you would like to have a chance at receiving this IRON BIRD HOOK (plus some little tiny SURPRISES included) ALL you have to do is leave a comment on THIS post, telling me that you would like to have it.........Be sure to mention if you WANT it or not as sometimes, ladies leave a note but would rather not be in the drawing.....

OH, and speaking of BIRDIES......

The baby dove is so precious. I still can't believe we never get any nesting on our porch. We must not live right! HA!

Good morning, BJ. You are so sweet to plan this drawing, and yes, I would love to participate. I loved your little bird hooks.

I'm very glad momma bird returned to care for her baby. I don't know that I would be a very good bird momma.

I thought of you yesterday when I did my post about the song, Jean. Of course the name reminded me of you, but also the sweetness.

Hi, I would love to be in your drawing for the Bird hook. I've been noticing a lot of bird things latelly in the stores and I'm really starting to go to the birds.

Your posts are always a joy!

Good Morning B. J. - Glad Momma Bird came back - I've had bird nests in my planters before and the babies would be out there with their mouths all open and waiting for food - and I would just be praying up a storm Momma would come back - and she always did!!

Would LOVE to be in the drawing - I would love to have the Black Birds on my bookshelf.

I am going to update my blod this weekend with lotz of picture and I will mention the give-a-way.

thanks
Donna

HI BJ,
I love your blog home.....I would love to be N your drawing!!! And thank you for the chance :-)
Once I scared a wren out of a boston fern late at night and she did not return after an hour and it turned out to heavy freeze that night....so the kids and I prayed that she would return in the morning, and I put the (3)eggs in a wash cloth on a low heating pad and she did return and they hatched some weeks later....BLESSINGS to ALL

I'm so glad you let us know the mama came back! What a nice fat little dove she is too. Birds are a passion of mine that has suffered since I've been battling the squirrels. This is quite a nice blog, I jumped over from Laurie's. Keep up the good work!

It'll be fun to see the dove grow.

bs honey said...

What a perfect time to find your blog site. I've so enjoyed reading you and also your pictures.
I wish to comment on your aunts embroidery. Yes, she did do beautiful, colorful work, so detailed. I love needle work and have a much treasured piece that my Aunt Stell, who passed away long ago did, it has sooo many french knots.
Also, my mother did the same piece that your aunt did. The one with the steps and door. I always loved the piece. We lost mother in March of 2007 and, of course, miss her so. I have no idea where that scarf disappeared to, just wish I knew. Seeing that scarf on your site made me feel very happy. A feeling of being a little girl and watching mother sew that exact pattern. For this I thank you.
Yes, I would like to be included in you drawing. I would hang the hook in the exact place you have yours, my fireplace mantel, where I would add some of my bird house collection.
I'm so glad I found you.

Cami said...

I love the bird themes throughout your last few posts. Really sweet & so happy Momma bird returned!

Cyndy said...

I love all your bird posts. I had some baby finches once. It was such an amazing experience! They just kept having babies!!! It became too much upkeep for me, so I had to give them away. But, it was such a learning experience! I had never seen baby birds being born before, either.
Please enter me in the drawing for the bird hook!

Joanne Kennedy said...

I would please like to be in your drawing and I would like to have it for my husband . He has been off from work sick and while he was home he was caring for a nest of baby birds outside our den window. They kept falling out of thier nest and he kept putting them back. The Mother bird was not happy with him not knowing he was only trying to help. He has always loved birda and all things of nature....Thanks Mary

Win the drawing???!!!!! No kidding I want it. Please!!! The bird hooks are priceless and perfect for my collection of treasures that aren't right for christmas or any other holiday - they are just because "I had to have them" ornamentals that don't have a shelf. And don't pay any attention to Rosie or Rue because they have so many thingies that if you mailed it to them it would have to stay in their mailbox until they threw something away to make room for it inside. hahaha If you go to my house on RMS (SDM52)you will see I need these birdie hooks desperately to add class to my decor. All kidding aside, I love your blog and your stories. I'm in awe of the way you and others have such great creative writing skills! Have a lovely day. See you at the Dessert Festival. :) Susan

Hello BJ,

Birds are so sweet. I have a nest in my blueberry bush. I keep looking for eggs, but so far none.
I would love the the bird hook. It would go perfect in my bedroom. I want it to hang my victorian looking flowery purses on. It would make such an adorable display.
