The Beautiful Giveaway

This week, I have featured some thoughts about why we make beautiful things. 

You can check out this week's posts here:

Why Make Things Beautiful

Granny's Closet- Wearing Vintage Clothing

Love is the Beauty of the Soul- Military Life & Hospitality

Simple Beauty in a Picture- Treasuring Family Photographs
God Cares About Skillful Design- Being Intentional with Graphic Design

I am in awe of the beauty of our world, which always points me to my Creator.  I am blessed to have friends to create and celebrate beautiful things.  And I am grateful for an online (and in-real-life) community like this with which we can share beauty, truth, and goodness.

So, in gratitude for you, dear friends and readers, and in celebration of my birthday later this month, I have collected some lovely donations of beautiful things that could be yours! 

Check out these seven gifts that could make your home and daily life more beautiful.  All the ways to enter the drawing are at the end of the post!

First up, we have some beautiful Scripture prints from Kayla Phillips Design.  She makes the most lovely and unique prints, and I want to hang one of everything that she has created in my home! (Which would be A LOT because of her One Hundred Verses Project!) Check out her three contributions to the giveaway:

You could have this whimsical 4"x6" of Deuteronomy 10:17- "For the Lord your God is God of gods, Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God."

Or there's this lovely 5"x5" design of Psalm 27:1 on special glimmery paper- "The Lord is my light and salvation."

And there's the fun design of Ephesians 5:8 on a 8"x10" peach paper- "Walk as children of the light."

Next up, Steph Zimmerman Photography has sent us two awesome photos. She is known for portrait and wedding photography (like these that I posted last week) but these project shots would look great in your home or at your desk at work!

You could win a unique matted 5"x7" photo to frame, like this one of a Midwestern farm at night (aka- my dad doing harvest a couple of years ago!)

Or there is this breathtaking photo of the Rocky Mountains, also in a matted 5"x7."

And finally a personal contribution from [un]common workbasket, my little craft-sale-hobby with a couple of friends.

We have a set of three pretty cards inspired by my girl St. Catherine of Siena, made using an old map.

And here is a Scripture print of a favorite verse- Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you," actually stamped on that page from an old Bible.  It is a ready to frame 8"x10."

Show some love, and please follow and like these ladies on social media:
