A Giveaway & Thank Jeanne d’ Arc Living

 

Hi there!

I am feeling so blessed lately and wanted to share some goodness.

Let’s have a giveaway!!!

 

I wanted to thank Vivian and Jeanne d’ Arc Living for featuring our home.

Jeanne d’ Arc Living is from Denmark and is available and read around the world.

We were so honored when we found out our home was going

to be featured in the late summer issue of Jeanne d’ Arc living magazine.

 

I have been in love with this magazine for over 2 years now.

If you haven’t gotten your hands on  Jeanne d’ Arc Living, then

you are missing out on what I think is one of the best, most inspirational

magazine out there!

I believe that what comes around goes around and if you do good,

good comes back, and that if you think positive and have faith

your dreams can come true.

It is amazing how this came full circle

 

I was so happy to have photographed and styled for this issue,

and now I am working for them.

Here are a few pages from the magazine

The styling was done a few months back and since then my home

has changed a few times. LOL, I can’t keep things

the same very long

 

My energy and excitement have been racing.

I don’t know if it is all the exercise and clean eating that I have

been doing, but whatever it is I don’t want it to stop.

Feeling foot loose and fancy free people!!! WOOP, WOOP!

 

Ok, here is the giveaway.

We want to giveaway two issues of

Jeanne d’ Arc living. Two different issues will be sent to one lucky friend.

This Late Summer issue and the next months Autumn issue as well.

Next months issue has another home in it that I photographed & styled.

I can’t wait to share it with you.

We thought it would be fun to giveaway both issues!!!

  

This giveaway will also be open on our Facebook page and our Facebook

friends will also have a chance to win.

Please visit our Facebook page and hit the Like button,

we really appreciate your support.
