It’s a Gussy Sews and Lisa Leonard giveaway!

January 11, 2014 ·

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered and congratulations to comment #35, Lesley. Check your email Lesley :)

Let’s welcome the weekend with a giveaway. What kind of plans do the next two days hold for you? Maybe you have a totally empty schedule? Sounds like a great reason to start reading that book, project, or go on a day trip with your favorite person? Maybe you have dinner meals to prepare for the upcoming week? Maybe you’re lucky and have a party to attend, or not so lucky and have a paper to write? ;) Or maybe your favorite napping spot is calling your name? Something I’ve learned since moving to Los Angeles is we have the ability to have a great day or a hard day, it’s all about our perspective and whether we choose to seek out joy.

Lisa does a really beautiful job at recognizing life’s joy and she shares that with us on her blog. I just love that about her, along with her transparency when joy can be hard to recognize. It inspires me.

Whatever you have planned this weekend — work or play or rest — my hope is this giveaway blesses you. The giveaway bundle includes an Orange Roses wristlet from my Gussy shop plus a gorgeous Fine Feather necklace from Lisa Leonard’s shop.

To enter: leave a comment sharing something joyful you’ve recently learned or experienced. For an additional entry use one of the social media icons below to share this giveaway with your communities. This giveaway is open to US residents only and will end on Monday, January 13th. Good luck and seek joy :)

    I have finally started to release from years of pain and struggling. I have found joy in the trust I have put in God. I have found joy in the hope I feel for my future, that whatever it holds I will always have my saviors love. Even if no one on this earth believes in me, he will.

  7. traci beeson says

    January 11, 2014 at 11:57 am

    something joyful i’ve been learning the hard way is to keep h.o.p.i.n.g. in the Lord with everything i’ve got, even when life hurts and i can’t see any good coming out of painful situations. because no matter what is happening, God is still good.

  8. Cheryl Armstrong says

    I just spent the last 15 minutes baking cookies with Jett and dancing around the kitchen, singing into a spatula like an idiot because it was making him giggle. If that isn’t a moment of joy I don’t know what is :)

    I’m reading Unglued, by Lysa TerKeurst and I have found joy in learning that I’m not just a person made of feelings and that I have control over them. It’s a new years resolution to work on my anger and this book has definitely brought me a lot of joy with practical guidance and scripture!

    Something I’m learning? It’s hard growing up!! My parents are getting older and we are getting their affairs in order–something that is not so fun. Necessary, but not fun. Can’t we all stay young forever. ;)

  24. Megan says

    January 11, 2014 at 5:26 pm

    I spent today with my 18-month-old nephew. Listening to his ever expanding vocabulary, putting his new shoes on his outstretched feet and pushing his trains around and around while he “Choo-Choo”s, is my joy for the week!

  29. Megan -- FireWifey says

  30. Tabitha Myers says

    January 11, 2014 at 6:34 pm

    I’m learning more everyday that it isn’t all about me. I mean I knew that and I know that, but my four children and husband and everyone else that lives this life with me are showing me that not having everything I think I should when I want it can be a very good thing. Sometimes I’m way too selfish and I could be much happier if I make it (whatever it is) about someone else. :)

  31. Ariella says

    January 11, 2014 at 6:38 pm

    I’ve recently learned the joy of waiting on God. While I wished for years that my dreams would happen “now,” God has revealed in the past two weeks why He asked me to wait..and it is beautiful :)

  38. Krista Cannon says

    Something joyful that I’ve experienced lately is getting a sweet compliment from a coworker. I had been working on a huge project and recently completed it and my coworker gave me a super sweet, super thoughtful compliment about how good of a job I had done. It meant a lot to me.

  57. leslie zimmerman says

    January 12, 2014 at 5:34 pm

    I always find joy in my son. He’s brilliant at four years old, and I hope he continues to experience the world quizzically. His questions make me laugh so hard sometimes and I love it, especially when he produces a cute little “oh yeah, okay!”

    I also really like his logic. So hilarious, but great <3

  71. Caroline says

    January 13, 2014 at 1:30 am

    Learning that joy comes from walking with and depending on Jesus in every circumstance, continuously. (Writing this as my two littles and I are completely under the weather with a stomach bug – so much yuck. Leaning in to Jesus for joy right now especially.)

  72. Tiffany B. says

    January 13, 2014 at 4:27 am
