Grateful Heart Monday + A Giveaway

Hello readers! I hope that you're all having a nice start to your week. The weather is in the low 70's and breezy today so I am incredibly happy. The humidity of the past week was almost unbearable! 

Today, I want to share a few things that I am thankful for, because after all it's Ember Grey's Grateful Heart Monday linkup!
Today, I want to do a special little shoutout. I am thankful for Betsy Gettis. She is the most inspirational 25 year-old that I know. She is so creative and her blog is lovely. She does hand lettering that I can only try to imitate, her sense of humor and style are both great and she is such a dear friend! Yesterday was her birthday and to celebrate we are all getting together on our blogs to do this awesome giveaway! Last night I went over to her house and brought donuts and we had a mini birthday dessert party :)

ice cream and donuts? yes please.

So Betsy, happy birthday. You are beautiful, another year wiser, living a vibrant and full life right where God wants you and I am so excited to see where he leads you and how he uses you! I love you bunches! Be sure to wish Betsy a happy birthday and enter this great giveaway.
