Silverlime


Last month I entered a giveaway at Leaca's blog, which was sponsored by Traci Platts Haycock who is the mastermind behind The Silverlime. Entrants were to tell their story, because every life has a story...mine was chosen the winner. I was totally shocked, speechless (not easy to believe!) and thrilled.
*(I had a request for the post where I had shared my story...you will find it here.)

A few conversations between creator and winner, and I had chosen what I wanted my winnings to be, and it arrived the other day.

The phrase I chose says "each day is a gift" which is so appropriate for me -- I actually say that every morning. For the charm, I chose a leaf because it symbolizes life, rebirth, renewal and hope.


Please take a moment to check out Traci's website and see the other beautiful options she has.

Thanks again Traci for your generosity and to Leaca for offering the giveaway!!

Congratulations!
Your story makes everyone a winner – if they listen to and truly take to heart your message: “...take each day as it comes and find the joys large and small in each day.”

Congratulations,sweet Sherry Lee! Such a beautiful gift (both the necklace and each day)!
Just want to let you know I will be posting pictures for you sometime this week - my columbines are in bloom and I think of you every time I look at them!

Well done you, you deserve this gift. Funnily enough, my friend bought me a pandora bracelet with the breast cancer bead on it. I bought myself the bead "love, hope, faith" and will be getting something to mark my half way through chemo, its a good reminder to stay grounded xx

You are super inspiring and I loved reading what you had to say. I am Traci Haycock's little sister, biggest fan and creative supporter . . . It's amazing what stories like yours, does for her. She is driven by the 'passion' of people like you. Congrats on your necklace, I have the leaf too! Congrats even more for beating cancer.

p.s. I really have been taking too many silly pills!! I honestly thought I was seeing things yesterday when the Vampire got out of the minivan...I had to rub my eyes and blink, blink, blink to make sure I was NOT seeing things!
