Belle Armoire Winner(s)

 

To say that we are overwhemed by the comments that were left and the stories that were shared on our last post would certainly be an understatement. We laughed, we cried, we marveled at the love and the loss and the joy.

This blogging community never ceases to amaze.

 

We wish we had a magazine for each of you. Truly. The good news is that we have been so touched by all of you that we are giving away not one, but two copies!

Here are the comments that were randomly chosen:

 

Thanks again to everyone who told their story. We are grateful to each of you and cherish your willingness to share such lovely, personal memories. We ❤ you.

xoxo Debbie & Shea

"The Coat" ~ A Giveaway

 

We have been joyfully anticipating the arrival of the newest Belle Armoire magazine. It includes a story very close to our hearts, as well as two projects from our studio. Once again, the amazingly talented group at Stampington has produced a true work of art with this issue!

It was a wonderful surprise to be on the cover!

 

 
We would love to share the excitement with you by giving away a copy of the magazine! Simply tell us in the comments what has been your favorite, most unexpected or most touching gift. We can't wait to hear your stories!

We will leave comments open until Sunday July 10th at 9 pm PST, and announce a winner on Monday.

xoxo Debbie & Shea
