a spring sparkle with *shabby apple*

we all love a little spring sparkle in our eye

I feel like I need and want that little sparkle in my eye

for spring and summer

last night as I picked my little girls up from my parent's home....

my dad told me...

well the farmer's almanac says one more snow in March

I said

"I can't take it dad"

{obviously I can...I just don't want too}

he said "me neither"

and he grew up in Wisconsin winters

so it didn't quite make me feel so bad for not liking this cold

yes...I realize many live north and have it way worse

for those that live north of me

bless you

bless you

bless you

because I honestly wouldn't survive

I do appreciate how beautiful the snow and mountains look

I really do

but I'm honestly over it in a day

one day in the snow

and I'd be saying

"where's the beach?"

the warm sun?

sand between my toes?

my family and friends in tow...

relaxing and sitting together with me on the beach?

so before I bore you away

with my thoughts of spring and summer

I've got a give-a-way for you

to add a little sparkle in your eyes

I was contacted by the *Shabby Apple website*

a website of women's & children's dresses

accessories

maternity 

 and casual wear

they are going to be offering one of you...a dress!

 after viewing some of their dresses...I agreed

what fun it has been to peruse their website

Shabby Apple gave me a pre-selected list of give-a-way dresses to choose from

so from their list I've picked three

2 women's/vintage style dresses

and one child's dress

the winner will be able to pick one out of those three

{named below}

and for those of you that need a little retail therapy and want to go ahead and start shopping 

 Shabby Apple has also offered you all a 10% discount

use the following discount code during checkout

"butterfliesdragonflies10off"

I found so many dresses that caught my eye

so I wanted to share my personal favorites

first with you all



 all are linked to the Shabby Apple website

and then at the end I'll show you the three give-a-way options
