{roots and wings}

Have you done it?

It's easy.

Just leave a comment here.

And Stefanie will donate $1 to An Orphan's Wish.

I believe the total is somewhere around $1600
...last I checked.

I just added this to my store today.
You can find it here.

Until the "comment-a-thon" ends,
I will donate $10 from each sale.

I've been saving these sweet, little primitive hearts for something special.
What could be better?

This week for Wildflower Wednesday,

all I'm asking
is for you to stop by Stefanie's blog
and leave her a comment.

And to make it just a little sweeter,
{if that's even possible}
from now until Monday, June 28th,
I will double my usual 10% donation to 20%
when you purchase one of the two necklaces
made to benefit
An Orphan's Wish.

Help spread the love.
Tell your friends...

whatever.

It will make your heart happy
to know that you made a difference

{winners}

The winners of this week's wildflower {wednesday} are...

~Susan~

from Sewn by the Heart

She left a comment and said the following:

I still remember my deep feelings of gratitude for our country several years ago. I had finished serving an LDS mission in Italy and was flying into New York. When I saw the American Flag, I broke down. I had no idea it would affect me so much. I remember those feelings every time I see a flag and place my hand over my heart. I'm proud to be an American!

My second winner this week, selected from my followers, is...

~Cindy~

from The Story of Malia and Ava

Congratulations to both Susan and Cindy!

Send me an email letting me know which wording you would like on your patriotic necklace!

Since the 'puter is still in the shop,

I can't show pictures,

but I can tell you that each is the same as the one pictured above

with your choice of wording:

"stars and stripes"

"U.S.A."

"land that I love"

"land of the free"

~or~

"freedom"

oh computers...

I have pictures of some new necklaces to post. You know, the ones I promised last Wednesday? Unfortunately, we have been plagued by some computer problems this weekend. Will get them up as soon as I can. Remember, you have until Monday at midnight to enter the giveaway. Just leave a comment on the Wildflower {Wednesday} post listed below. Happy Monday everyone!

wildflower {wednesday}

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions,
the spirit of men
and so it must be daily earned and refreshed~
else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots,
it will wither and die.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower~

Yes, it is Wednesday.
And I'm a bit late getting to the computer...

Summer around here means birthdays.
And the celebration began today.
Three of my five have their birthdays in the next 30 days.
It's another reason summer is l.o.v.e.d. around our neck of the woods.

And since we're talking birthdays,
America's is just around the bend too...

I have a few new designs to share in the coming days.
All celebrating freedom and the good 'ol USA.

Let's shake things up a bit this week
and change a few rules.

This week, to enter my wildflower {wednesday} giveaway,
leave me a comment on this post...

Tell me something you do to celebrate the 4th of July
~or~
tell me a freedom you are most grateful for.

One winner will be randomly selected from those who have left comments.
Another will be selected from my followers.

So, if you are a bit shy and don't want to leave a comment,
just become a follower :)
and you will automatically be entered in this week's wildflower {wednesday}.

Best part,
the winners (yes, there are two this week)
can choose from any of the necklaces I post about from now until Monday.
Of course, each celebrates America's birthday!

p.s. I will also be adding each to my store as well.
