True Vine Gifts Wine Jelly Giveaway

Disclaimer:  This is a sponsored post written on behalf of True Vine Gifts as part of their Kickstarter campaign.  All opinions are my own.  I'm hosting a giveaway so keep reading and be sure to enter to win.  Be sure to click the following link to see how you can help with this project... http://kck.st/25JHD4k



If you've been following me for awhile, then you would know how much of a wine lover I am.  Red wine, white wine, sparkling wine you name it.  If the word wine is on the bottle then I'm trying it. I could have wine with pizza, wine with popcorn, wine with just about anything.

Recently, I was approached with a tasty opportunity that I could not refuse.  My friend and fellow blogger, Sasha, asked if I would like to try some of her delicious, wine jellies and I was instantly intrigued.  I had seen her post pictures about them on her Instagram account and have read about them on her blog. I kept thinking to myself, I've got to try some of her creations.  So imagine how excited I was when she offered me the chance to do so.
Sasha's offer couldn't have come at a better time.  I was  on Spring Break and was hosting a get together with some close friends.  Her wine jelly would be a great addition to my menu for the evening.  I began to think of how I would serve the jelly and caught up on some of her recipes on the blog.

True Vine Gifts wine jellies come in six year long flavors.  I decided to go with the Cabernet and the Sangria flavored ones because these are two of my favorite types of wine.  I served it with crackers, bread and various cheeses.  No matter the combination, it was always delicious.


I must say that my guest and I loved every bit of both jellies and look forward to trying others, but this is where the issue lies.  Currently, Sasha is not able to sell outside of the state of Alabama.  So, I won't be able to purchase any of her delectable jellies until she is able to get her commercial kitchen up and running.  If you are interested in learning how you can help her achieve this, click this link and find out how you can become a backer so you too can enjoy some wine jelly in your own home.

In the meantime, would you like to taste it for yourself?  True Vine Gifts is offering my readers a chance to win a jar of your very own in the deliciously, yummy, Moscato flavor.  Just enter the giveaway below.  Giveaway is open to all readers in the United States.

Currently March Vol. 2

Currently...

Welcoming: Spring...Spring is here!  I  am looking forward to the warm weather, the beautiful flowers, and festivals galore.  Not quite sure what's going on at the present, cause our temperatures have taken a slight dip.  Today's high was only in the 60s, it was raining, and chilly.  Tomorrow is expected to be the same, minus the rain.



Hosting:  A giveaway!  Its spring and what better way to welcome it then by giving away a few gifts to my awesome followers.  Have you entered? Then what are you waiting for!  Click the photo below to get to the post and enter.  ***Update:  Giveaway has ended. ***


Attending:  Charleston Fashion Week!  I could only make it one night, but what a night of fun it was! It was my cousin's second year modeling and she was able to book 10 events!  So proud of her and wishing her much success in the future.  


Check out this video from the Lilly Pulitzer collection during the Belk runway show.  


Celebrating:  My boys' birthday. I was only able to spend time with one that day, the other was still away at college. They turned 22 and I couldn't be more happier or proud of the the men they are becoming.  Love you guys!  





Eating:  This delicious Chop Salad at Fish.  It's ingredients include romaine, bacon, cashews, dried fruits, rice croutons, and boursin cheese vinaigrette.   When I say delicious, I mean DELICIOUS!

Hello Spring Giveaway


I've always stated that SPRING is my favorite time of year.  Most recently, I've been thinking...NOT!  I have developed severe allergies to trees and the pollen levels are killing me.   This morning, our area was covered in a blanket of yellow haze.  I was like, "What the heck? I should be allowed the day off."   Other than that, I still love spring.  The warm weather, the beautiful skies, the cool breezes, and everything fresh and renewed.  The reality is that spring is here and Easter is not too far behind.



I thought I would celebrate the arrival with a little giveaway.  My grab bag of goodies will include items for your hair, skin, and nails to get you all prepped for the warm weather.   Easter goodies? Yep, they're in there!  A few cute items to fill your adult Easter basket!  These are just a few goodies you can expect and a few more may be thrown in for kindness.  So what are you waiting for? Start pressing those little buttons and enjoy!

The giveaway will run from 3/19/16 - 3/27/16 and is open to US Residents only.  The winner will be notified by email and will have 48 hours to respond or a new entrant will be chosen. Entries will be verified.  So good luck!



What are your favorite things about spring?  Do you have any plans this Easter?

It's My Blogiversary & A Giveaway!

I officially launched my site a year ago today and I must say it has been a very rewarding experience. I have learned so much about myself.  I have met some fabulous bloggers and made some amazing friends.  I have also grown as a writer.  

I am still learning new things every day.  I am nowhere near where I would like to be.  I embarked on this mission as a hobby, but who knows where it may lead.  I'm definitely in it for the long haul.  

In celebration of this momentous event, I would like to offer you a giveaway.  But, before that, I’d like to say Thank you!  For those of you who visit my blog regularly, thank you for your support and encouragement.  Thank you for the sweet comments. Thank you for walking with me on this journey. To the friends I have made along the way, you have made this journey easier than you know. 

Let’s take a look at year one and how much she has grown. 

Most Viewed Post of the Year:  Probably my shortest and least thought out post.  I kept coming across this picture in my phone and knew that I wanted to share it, but how?  Finally, this post evolved.  



Posts I wished received more love:  I was so psyched about starting my site and couldn’t wait to share with others.  Yet, I didn’t know anything about  link-ups so I didn’t get much traffic in the beginning.  There are a few posts I wished received more love and they can be found herehere, and here.  


Most Personal Post:  I really opened up about some of the pain in my life with this one.  It’s never easy to lose those that are close to you.  Hoping others will find some strength in dealing with whatever they are dealing with. 

Most Commented Post: Sometimes it’s the simplest post you create that catch readers’ attention.  The ones we least expect.  I would love to have comments on all of my post, but this one received the most.

My First Post Ever:  This was my baby and I was one proud momma.  This post didn’t receive enough love as well because I knew nothing about blogging or getting my page out there.  The few people who came across it were very positive and encouraging.  Today is its first birthday so let’s show it some love!
