Ordinarily Extraordinary

John Claybrook Music Giveaway

I believe God gives us dreams. 

I believe God gives us gifts. 

When the dream is to use the gift he's given us it becomes worship.  

I've shared here before about our friend John Claybrook. God has given him an extraordinary gift of music. Watching him play and sing isn't about watching him perform. Experiencing his music is seeing him return his incredible gift back to God. 

So today, just because I believe in the gift God has given my friend, I want to share that gift with you. 

I'm giving away two of John's CDs entitled Masterpiece. You can check it out here. To be entered to win just leave a comment below. Share the following link on Twitter or Facebook and leave additional comments to be entered again. Giveaway ends Friday, January 14.

Check out the @jclaybrookmusic CD giveaway at Ordinarily Extraordinary by @amykiane http://bit.ly/g8aKDe Please RT.

I'll also be giving a third CD away next week on twitter so be sure and follow me, @amykiane as well as @jclaybrookmusic. 

Disclaimer: No compensation or free merchandise was received for this giveaway. CDs were purchased by me for this giveaway.

Project Life: August 16 - 22, 2010

Welcome back to another week of my Project Life photos. Be sure to check out Jessica Turner's blog for more Project Life links on Tuesdays. Also check out the last photo's caption for a link to a music giveaway I have going on over at Alabama Bloggers.

Monday, August 16, 2010 - DH sat down pecking out keys on the piano and the little cat kept going back and forth, up and down underneath the piano hearing the sounds. It was so funny, but of course by the time I got the video camera out he was tired of the game.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - Every few summers when we have a hot, dry summer these spider webs or whatever they are show up in the trees. It's not very pretty.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - I spent a couple of days last week and this week helping a dear teacher friend of mine fluency test students at two of our schools.

Thursday, August 19, 2010 - I made the ultimatum. Either get some of the legos put away or else. So DH and Squirt pulled them out and tore the kits down and put each kit in its own extra large ziploc bag.

Friday, August 20, 2010 - Could it be? Can I actually see the carpet? I spent the day cleaning house which was much needed and thanks to DH and Squirt his room is clean. Now how long will it last?

Saturday, August 21, 2010 - As I was making my way back home from downtown I noticed a tree at the corner of the student parking lot had been rolled. Probably in celebration of the football team's football win the night before.

Sunday, August 22, 2010 - I didn't get a personal photo for today, but I had an afternoon session with a friend of ours who needed some updated photos for his website. I laughed so much during this session. He couldn't keep a serious face when I was taking photos of him and would burst out laughing which didn't help my camera shake at all, but we managed to get some good shots I think. At least I hope he thinks so. And I have a giveaway open to anyone in the U.S. of some of his music in a guest post over on Alabama Bloggers. Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.

Vanilla Joy has another great giveaway up over on her blog. :)

It's a Giveaway!!

Well, I meant to have this posted earlier this week, but life kind of got in the way a bit. I wanted to give something away on here to go along with the UBP. I'm giving away a prize over at the Ultimate Blog Party, but wanted to here as well.  I love making things. Almost all my gifts this past Christmas were made by me. So I thought I'd share that love with you all - my blog readers.

So here it is. The first thing is this little blank journal. I gave one to one of my best friends for Christmas as a grateful journal and she loved it. The second thing is an embroidered fabric bookmark.  For the journal the winner can choose which initial to put instead of the A I put on it. (Just wanted to give you an idea there.) For the bookmark I need to put a little disclaimer. The fabrics may be different fabrics than what you see here, but you can choose the name or initials. The fabric choice will just have to be a surprise.

 

Front of bookmark.

 

Back of bookmark.

So here's how to win:

First, post a comment on this post saying hi and please leave an e-mail addy in your comment if your logging in doesn't leave one.

Second, click the RSS feed over on the right and add me to your blog reader and then leave another comment letting me know. 

Third, post about my giveaway on your blog, leaving another comment here that you did with a link.

And fourth, follow me on twitter by clicking on the 'follow me on twitter' link in the left sidebar and of couse leave me a comment letting me know. 

You have until noon on Tuesday, March 31. I'll draw a winner that afternoon. I will e-mail the winner and if I do not hear from the winner in 48 hours I'll draw another winner.

Edited to add: I'm going to wait another day before drawing due to having been sick for the past 24 hours. So you have until the evening of April 1 to post a comment and other ways to be entered in the drawing.
