Teeny-tiny little giveaway.... CLOSED

What?!  It's really been two years?

Yes, It's been two years today, that I started this little blog space.... It's hard to believe, really.

You know, I started this blog because I was nursing a baby.  That's what I'm like.... you know 'idol hands....'  Well, I thought it would be a great idea to do something with myself instead of just sitting feeding a baby, I might as well feed a baby and be busy with my hands....

I'm glad I did it, I'm glad I had the nerve to think that people might be interested in something I had to say.... and even if nobody ever read, I would still do it.  It's like therapy for the soul.  I don't write in a journal, I'm really bad at it.  But, I love the sound my fingers make rapping on the keys of a keyboard.  I love that I don't need to use an eraser for any mistakes.  I love spell-check.  And I love the few little comments I receive every once in a while.

I'm grateful to have anything at all to write about, it means I have some sort of meaning in my life.  I'm grateful to my friends for following me and this space.  I'm grateful that I am able to find things to write about - because, I love writing, I love words, I love pouring out my crafty soul....

Thanks everyone, for joining me here in my little place.  I'm grateful for you.

And, as a token of my gratitude, and if you are a follower, old or new - if you've been reading, but aren't a follower, you'll qualify for the giveaway if you become a follower of 3 monkeys inc..... Please leave a comment about your favourite fall memory or activity and you will be entered into the giveaway for a little gift.... I'm in the process of making a pretty, upcycled, jersey bracelet (or necklace, I haven't decided what it will be just yet)....  But, it's yours for the taking.  I'll try to finish it off today and post a picture tomorrow with my THRIFTY MONDAY post.  The giveaway will close on Saturday the 12th at midnight.... I hope you'll join in the fun!

Have a great day everyone....  ;)

Hammy-ness....

There's been much ado around here about our little Hammy-girl... she's almost 2, sniff-sniff... where does the time go? And when you have two older brothers to watch and mimic, the time seems to go that much faster... she talks so much with her half-toddler-half-big-girl words; and we can actually understand what she's saying; and the emotion and sense behind the words both astounds me and melts my heart all at once... I can't put into words the feelings I have for her... but I'll try with a song... I sing this to her before I put her to bed at night...



I love the lyrics... this song should be sung to every little girl, young lady or woman who has ever doubted their own worth... it's my job to make sure that my little Hammy grows up with a great sense of self; she needs to be sure of things like love, support, and happiness.... I owe this to her, and to her brothers...

Hope you enjoy the song as much as I do...

The giveaway closes tonight at midnight... I'll be posting the winner tomorrow morning... good luck everyone ;)
