My Cottage Charm Giveaway #2- Handpainted Wooden Sign


5/29 Update: AND THE WINNER IS....Peggy Crawford! Congratulations, Peggy! You can contact me with your address and I'll get this sign shipped out to you! Thank you to everyone else who participated by entering to win and those who "liked" my new Facebook business page, She Could Fly. Even if you didn't win a sign this time, all She Could Fly Facebook fans will be automatically entered to win future sign giveaways. Thanks so much for all of your support and for visiting Twice Remembered!


Hello everyone! I'm a little late getting my 2nd Cottage Charm giveaway posted but fortunately there is still time left both for me and for you, too, if you want to add a giveaway of your own. My dear little Ruby the Doxie is under the weather with a herniated neck disk that has resulted in partial paralysis of her front legs. It has been very scary and heartbreaking to witness as she has not been able to walk since it happened yesterday. However, the vet feels a total recovery is possible but may take about six weeks of crate rest. It might even be possible to see her walking within a few days thanks to her medication. I'm hoping for the best but try not to leave her side often because she gets agitated and starts to thrash around. She is sleeping peacefully now (sedatives) so that means a few minutes for me to tell you about my second giveaway. (Click here to see the first...)

I thought this giveaway would be a good way to show you what I've been dabbling in lately - sign making! So I'm offering this wooden painted and distressed to perfection 12" x 9" sign as part of my second giveaway. Because I love words and quotes so much, I've been working on a collection of inspiring and interesting signs to offer for sale later in my new Etsy shop and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you. I had a hard time selecting the sign I liked best for this giveaway as I'm very pleased with how they've all turned out so far...but hopefully this Zelda Fitzgerald quote will be a 'winner' in your book.








There are a couple of ways to win this giveaway:

One chance to win- Just enter your name and a way to contact you in the comment section below

Another chance to win- Simply "Like" my new business page, She Could Fly, on Facebook. While my 'grand opening' has to be postponed a bit due to caring for my little Ruby for now, I would still love to be able to share with you what I've been up to with my shop, signs, and other items.

I will announce the winner on May 29th. If you haven't done so already, make sure you check out all the other charming giveaways in the 5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway event! And remember, you still have time to enter your own giveaway...the more the better and there are alost 50 so far!

I hope Ruby feels better quickly. My Bosco had a sinmilar issue last summer, which left his back legs useless. He is better now, but isn't allowed to jump up and down from the bed anymore.

Warning: If Ruby is on steroids, you can expect a change in her demeanor...but it too will change once she goes off the meds.

Best of luck to you both. La

Kim,

Please enter me in this drawing. The sign and quote are equally beautiful and I have the exact spot for it!

You are so generous, my friend.

I hope sweet little Ruby is soon back to her mischievous bird seed mess making ways!

I don't have a face book account yet -- yes I know I am the only one on the planet -- so I can't "like you" there.

Your Friend,
Deborah

I hope Ruby gets as close to her normal self as she can, as soon as she can!
(I have one of those myself, and another cervical issue...so I know the pain, and the burning, and the pins and needles etc.. she will be on my nightly "candle burning" for good health and healing list!)

So sorry to hear about your doxie. Growing up my parents always had them running in the house. My moms oldest one just passed away earlier this year- but he had the exact same problem as your doxie. He ended up getting treatment and he lived another 8 years happy and healthy. So I'm sure your puppy will do the same. These things take time, but have faith. :)

You did a wonderful job on the sign as well! So please enter me! I also 'liked' your facebook. :)
