A beautiful story {Lily Jane Stationary Giveaway}


Before I even discuss a giveaway from Lily Jane stationary, you must read the story behind this shop...

This past summer, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Lily. She was born with a birth defect that shortened her life to a brief 6 weeks. She made such a big impact in my life; I knew I needed to find some way to carry on her legacy. I had been selling on Etsy for a little while, but decided to close down my old shop and open a new one, which I named Lily Jane Stationery, after my daughter. I also chose to donate 10% of all my proceeds to March of Dimes in her behalf as an effort to help other families who find themselves in similar situations.

Lily Jane Stationery has a collection of individual cards, boxed and tied stationery sets, custom invitations and gift wrap. I also offer a few items seasonally - like the desk calendar and planner. I love what I do and enjoy working one on one with buyers to create custom stationery and invitations, too.

To read Lily's story in it full length please click here. It is beautiful...

Ok now put your tissue down and read up on this awesome giveaway!
As many of you had noted about your News Years resolutions, getting organized was a top priority, which it was mine as well. So last week I decided I needed a note book calendar. After a brief search on Etsy, I came across Lily Jane Stationary and fell in love with this...
Then I saw that 10% of the proceeds go to March of Dimes, I was sold. I reached out to Meredith after reading Lily's story to see if she would like to host a giveaway, and she said yes!


So one lucky winner can get their hands on this super awesome calendar!
Here is how to enter {remember to leave a comment PER entry, want to make sure you get all your chances to win}...
1. Follow my blog. Head over to Lily Jane Stationary and come back with your favorite item.
2. Become a follower of Meredith on her blog. {she has some beautiful postings}
3. Blog, Tweet, and/or FB about this giveaway {please leave a link}
4. Make a purchase from Lily Jane {remember 10% goes to March of Dime, 5 extra entries}
5. Make a charitable donation, now this does NOT have to be monetary. Give blood, donate jackets to your local collation for the homeless, anything. {If you have done something in the past month that counts, 5 extra entries}

*OPEN TO US ONLY*
This giveaway will be open until midnight on Jan 17th, with a winner announced Jan 18th by using random.org.

Before Christmas, I participated in gifting food and hygiene bags to the local homless, with my small group from church. It was such a great experience!

I'm loving the birds on a wire notecards!

Something seems to not be working (or maybe its me?) so I can't follow Meredith's blog properly, but I did add her to my google reader list if that counts!
