To pick the winners I decided to go old school and draw names out of  a bowl instead of using some fancy schmancy web program that randomly chooses-I wanted to be a more active part of it! So, I had fun writing everyone’s names on slips of paper, folding them and putting them in a bowl (ok…so that wasn’t the most fun part!) but I did have fun drawing the names out of the bowl and thinking about everyone that came and checked out my blog and website last week. My husband had this grand idea of filming me while I drew the names so to find out who won just watch the video! If you are one of the winners I will be contacting you soon. I would also like to thank Sweet Love Vintage, Team Rootberry and Pinkpunk Creative Designs for their donations-it sure made it a lot more fun!

For my final launch day I wanted a giveaway that represented a few important aspects of what I am rooted in, so when I found this inspirational plaque it was perfect. Not only does this plaque talk about laughter, but it speaks of laughter rooted in faith. I believe our days should be filled with laughter; laughter with your family, laughter with your spouse, laughter with your co-workers, laughter with your friends, laughter with the clerk checking you out at the grocery store, laughter with your children and all by yourself alone laughter! In need of a good out-loud laugh…find a video on YouTube, watch old “Friends” episodes or go see a good movie (a current laugh-out-loud good movie is “Couples Retreat”!) Above all remember where that laugh is rooted.

Can’t wait to hear your comments…

I have known Sandra for about 8 years-she is extremely talented and creative and is actually the designer of my Cheri Root Photography logo (and a couple of Cody’s birthday invitations from a few years ago.) Pinkpunk has a genuine passion for design, giving every product a fresh, unique flaire!  Next time you need invitations, a greeting card, business cards, or even want a little pizazz to your business logo, contact Pinkpunk Creative Designs. Sandra graciously offered to donate 25 customized invitations, so whoever wins these will get to actually choose what they would like-yeah that’s custom!

Looking forward to your comments.

I shared a little bit about him and what he does in a previous blog post. He is 1/2 of the comedy and juggling duo Team Rootberry with the other half being the sword-swallowing Bill Berry. Team Rootberry performs at colleges, on cruise ships, churches, corporate events and for the military. You can check them out in action on their YouTube channel, become a fan of theirs on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. It took a little arm-twisting but I convinced my hubby to donate a rockin Team Rootberry DVD! The DVD includes a Learn To Juggle segment, show highlights and Rootberry on ESPN 2.

So, you can go ahead and start commenting now!

My sister told me about this wonderful website about six months ago and I was shocked…I’m telling you “shocked”…that I had not heard of it earlier. One of my very favorite shops on Etsy is Sweet Love Vintage. Our home is an eclectic mix of old and new and I love my vintage antiques. I recently purchased an acrylic red “R” for my collection from this shop. Sweet Love Vintage has some amazing items and I encourage you to check out Sarah’s shop for unique vintage home decor and accessories. You can also follow Sarah on her Sweet Love Vintage Blog. Sarah generously donated this adorable little doe planter that can hold everything from toothpicks to your favorite color markers to photo strips of you and your love.

Today marks the official launch of my photography website and blog and I could not be more excited! To celebrate I am going to have “Five Days of Giveaways”. Each day, beginning today, I will announce the giveaway of the day. All you have to do to be eligible to win is comment on any post on my blog-yep, it’s that easy. At the end of the five days everyone that left a comment will be entered into the drawing and all five giveaways will be awarded. I will announce the winners in a very fun way (thanks to my hubby!) on Sunday, October 18th. Plus there are a few bonuses (can’t have a giveaway without a bonus!) Get some additional entries into the drawing…here’s how:

  • Become a fan on my Facebook fan page
  • Follow me on Twitter
  • Tweet or announce my website launch on your Facebook (and let me know about it!)

So now onto the good stuff…

DAY ONE GIVEAWAY: I absolutely love to travel and have had the opportunity to go to some amazing places, mostly due to my husband’s traveling schedule. Several years ago when I got my passport I was thrilled and could not wait to have to show it for the first time, and why not show that baby off! So for all you travel junkies out there the first giveaway is this awesome sky blue genuine leather Belle Hop passport case.

Happy Commenting…
