Today is Sophie's Birthday & My First Giveaway!

Happy Birthday Sophie!

Today I am celebrating my little Sophie's 15th birthday and my very first giveaway!  First I would like to say how much fun I have had making new friends through blogging.  I started this adventure in April not knowing it would turn out to be such a wonderful experience.  It's been a pleasure meeting all of you, sharing the same interests and learning new things from a group of such talented ladies.    Now on with the birthday celebration!  

Sophie was 7 weeks old when we brought her home weighing 2 lbs. 10 ozs.   She was a little pistol!  Hard to believe a little dog less than 3 pounds could have so much energy!  I was sure she would think we named her "NO" because that's what she heard for months!  Now if you had told me this little puppy that was so mischievous and full of energy would turn into such a sweetheart I would not have believed it!  We have been truly blessed!  Now hopefully I don't bore you too much with all these photos. :)

In the pictures with Sophie are my niece Michelle and my youngest son Darrell.

The top left picture she is sitting with her grandpa (they LOVED each other so much) and the man without the head is her daddy! LOL

 The picture of her with her first birthday cake she is sitting with her grandma. Okay we aren't going to win a photo contest with these pictures!

The sweet little girl napping with Sophie is my granddaughter Gracie.  Sophie actually shared her couch.  What a good girl!  As you can see Sophie really enjoys her naps!  

Last but not least and hopefully I didn't bore you too much.  Sophie and my little grandson Caleb!  Thanks so much for stopping by to help me celebrate Sophie's 15th birthday! 

 Now on with my first giveaway!  If you have visited me on Teacup Tuesday you have seen some of the beautiful tea cups I have shared from Porcelain Treasures.  I mentioned I used to sell her treasures on a web site a few years ago.  Well as luck would have it I have some pretty pieces left!  I decided to use one of them for my giveaway.  It's a very beautiful Tea For One in the Summer Rose pattern.  All you have to do to enter is leave a Happy Birthday message for Sophie today through Friday(that's one entry) and being a follower will give you a second entry. You have until Friday evening 9:00 pm Pacific Time to enter. Pretty easy huh?  The winner will be chosen Saturday August 7th.  Here are the pictures of the very beautiful Tea For One.  Good luck everyone!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
