Birthday bash finale – another giveaway!

January 25, 2013 by Amelia

It’s the final day of Birthday Bash where the presents are all for you! You still have time to enter to win a Coffee Break package! Enter to win here. Or for music cd’s from Circle of Friends, enter here. Congratulations to Cheri and Faye who won copies of Cindy Bultema’s story “He Loves Me.”

AND! Tonight is the book release party for Isn’t it Time for a Coffee Break? We’re celebrating tonight at 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at Ella’s Coffee and Cuisine in downtown Lowell, MI. We would love to have you join us!

Today is the final day of the birthday bash, with one last fun give away. I have some beautiful photo prints with verses printed on them from my friend Jen. You may remember the photos I used to highlight quotes from my book in the weeks leading up to release. Those were all Jen’s photos. You can check out all of those photo quotes on this Pinterest Board. Jen has picked up the camera over the past few years and has discvoered a love of capturing life through the lens. She is a blogger for Circle of Friends, and you can view all her photo blogs at Circle of Friends here. Jen is also a dear, long-time friend. We first met in college when she started dating (and later married) one of my husband’s friends. In the past few years she’s also become my running buddy and we’ve run a handful of 1/2 marathons and a couple full marathons. You can read our recent adventure of nearly missing the starting line here. Or about a crazy trail run here. I’m thankful for the way that God has woven our stories into each others lives for the past 18 years!

Leave a comment on this post telling me about a friend God has blessed you with and be entered to win one of these photo prints.

We will put each 4×6 print in a magnetic photo frame for you to display on your fridge, or a filing cabinet at work, or anywhere you might want to have a beautiful and encouraging photo. We have 2 of each photo to give away, so there are plenty of chances to get one!

Here are the prints you can win:

      Ooops, hit send and never shared about my friend, Roxanne, that no matter the distance, we just pick right back up where we left off and we “get” each other. She is truly a gift from God. I’ve Tweeted, Facebook posted, and left this comment, already liked your page and check out Jen’s all the time, so that about covers it and I think I win? J/K. <3 ya!

        I think you have covered all the bases!! Love friends that we can just “pick up” with no matter the distance!

    I have known my friend Shari since kindergarten! We’ve been through A LOT together and I love how well she knows me and how supportive she is.
    I liked your page on facebook, checked out Jen’s photo blog, and shared on facebook! (I don’t tweet:)
    And I’m looking forward to meeting you in person after “meeting” you on facebook this morning:)

    Oh, I love all the photos, but Psalm 46:10 is my favorite.

    I love all the photos! But I really am drawn to the flowers!

    I have been blessed with a variety of friends throughout my life. But one friend, Laura, has been my longest standing friend. We shared a crib in the church nursery. Yup. Friends that long. We have been through lots of tough stuff together, shared secrets that no one else ever heard, fought a bunch (we were little divas of the church choir). But, you know, if ever I need someone who knows me…really knows me…it’s Laura.

    A few years ago, we sang a duet together (it had been 15 or so year since we’d done that). It felt like coming home.

      Aww, friends since sharing a crib! How sweet Susie! I love how God will bring those people back into our lives over the years too.

    You know, I might have everyone else beat, because of my age! I hate to admit it, but I have a life long best friend, Shellie. We have been friends as long as we can remember….and that’s getting harder! LOL We have been best friends since we were in the 3 year old Sunday School class together, and probably before that. 48 years!!! We attended the same church from birth until we were married. We have come through almost everything together. From the earliest memories of holding each other’s hands going down the back steps of church to S.S., to elementary school, high school, to writing and calling during college. We have always been kindred spirits and have in recent years become email, text and in person prayer partners. We have kids about the same age, and supported one another throughout good and tough times. Births and deaths, laughter and tears. We just know we can depend on the other to pray. We still live only a few miles from one another. I have many other friends, but she is golden. I love her praying compassionate heart.

    Yes, I have checked out your friend Jen’s blog,and oh what beautiful pictures! The Ephesians one must be from her blog. I have “liked” you on fb., and have tweeted with you…don’t know enough about all the social media yet, but am trying to learn! I have always been partial to barns, but love the Ephesians picture too. Love them all!

    Hope your birthday and book party were great. Wish I could have come.

      Myrna, that sounds like a fabulous friendship! What a treasure she must be, and a definite gift to you both! Thank you for sharing!

    Even though it took us about 20 years to like each other, my two sisters and I now are great friends!
    Love the barn, reminds me of my grandparents farm… 🙂

    • amelia says

      January 28, 2013 at 5:48 pm

      Jodi, I love it! Sometimes we don’t appreciate our siblings when we’re in the same home and in our youth! What a joy to have them as friends through adulthood!

    One of my most encouraging friends is my penpal. I met her my freshman year of college, and we’ve been writing ever since. hmm… I haven’t heard from her in a while, so it must be my turn to write.

    I like the flower “Trust” pic.

    • amelia says

      January 28, 2013 at 5:49 pm

      Oh Michele, I’ve got some lifelong penpals too! I have one that I first met and started writing too when I was like 6 or 7, barely old enough to write! Those are super special friends.
