I am part of a group of bloggers known as Inspired Bloggers Network. We work to network and promote each other in our blogging endeavors. Part of our work includes putting together GREAT giveaways and offering bigger ticket items as group, rather than smaller items individually. So, for Christmas, we are giving away TWO $400 Gift Cards!!
I know so many who could use this for so much, not just Christmas gifts. With the economy still having struggles there are those who could use this to get a few goodies to eat. The wonderful thing about Amazon is that there is about everything you could ever want available. Four Hundred Dollars could go a ways in helping a family with REAL needs. That is one reason I was Inspired to give in this giveaway!!
The bloggers of the Inspired Bloggers Network have gathered to add some SPARKLE and SHINE to your December with TWO $400 gift cards to Amazon!

What is one item you would be able to use the $400 Gift Card on if you won?
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
By spending Christmas day with my mother
One of my favorite things to do on Amazon is to buy items off this wish list (http://www.amazon.in/gp/registry/wishlist/O6GEIED9O1I7/ref=cm_wl_sortbar_v_page_1). The items go to two young ladies serving as foster moms to 11 special needs orphans in India. So a good chunk of the gift card would go to them if I won.
We celebrate as a family by doing random acts of kindness for others and baking cookies!
I plan to celebrate by spending as much time with my immediate family as possible. It’s been a rough year and next year doesn’t seem too promising. Hoping that for a few weeks at least, we can enjoy our time celebrating the birth of our Savior without the constant barrage of hospital visits, emergencies, tragedies…maybe
we watch a lot of Christmas movies and do a lot of holiday baking. Thanks for participating in this give away.
We celebrate by not doing all school work, going to church, the children participate in our church’s Christmas play, we decorate, we serve our community, get together with family and friends as well as read the Bible and stories of Christ’s birth.
