Alright. Well, I feel like we know each other better now, my dear reader.
You've officially read my testimony. You've seen my dirty laundry. But more importantly, you've seen that dirty laundry be cleaned by Christ. Not a stain remains.
And speaking of laundry….
It's giveaway day!
And I'm super excited about this one.
Recently, I noticed our clothes were becoming very worn looking. And since our clothes budget is, well, slim to none, I decided to start hanging some of our clothes to dry versus putting them in the dryer. Not only does hanging extend the clothes life, but it also saves on energy. Win, win baby.
So, I began looking for options. After reading an article in MaryJane's Magazine about AbbyJo and Homestead Drying Racks, I decided this was it! It was my destiny to own one of their drying racks, handcrafted by AbbyJo and her husband.
Can't you just see me there? With my animals and laundry basket?
I can. And I like it!
Currently, mine is still being made. And I'll be like a little kid on Christmas morning when it arrives. I can hardly wait! And now, my dearest reader, you too can have the opportunity to own one of their drying racks. Because we're giving one away!
Calm down now, calm down. Do you need a paper bag to breath in? I know, it's exciting, but try and stay with me here.
We're giving away a Peddler Rack, which is the smallest of their three available sizes. The Peddler Rack is perfect for small spaces, offering 20 lineal feet of drying space. I think that this would work great for cloth diapers! Or sweaters. Or really, whatever you'd like! And after trying to dry a few items outside on the fence, which then ended up with spiders and dirt on them, I'd say this is almost a necessity.
Okay, so here's the rules:
1. Leave a comment here to enter into the drawing!
2. You can ‘Like' us on Facebook (link in the right hand toolbar), then leave another comment to enter again!
3. You can ‘Follow' us (link in the right hand toolbar), and then leave another comment to enter again!
That's three chances to enter people!
We will announce a random winner on Thursday morning and will ship the rack to you! Shazzam!
Don't you love giveaways? Don't you love words like shazzam? I do.
Take a minute to visit AbbyJo and her family here, at their website, and take a look at all the other fun treasures you may find. Like these bad boys:
Good luck!

Shaye, I use a clothesline all summer, have as many years of my life as I’ve been able to. This sweet little rack would fit in our unused downstairs bathtub so I could dry in the winter too! Just sayin.. By the way, your testimonial made me weepy, happy, and a bit introspective. Thank you for that.

Yay! I dry Brody’s and my clothes on a rack–not Ellis’ because 1) they don’t seem to get worn out no matter what (?), and 2) there’s no room on our drying rack. 🙁 Would love to win a drying rack and be able to dry Ellis’ clothes on it! 😉

I used to dry all of our clothes on racks and clothes lines, but we do foster care and it seems like the more kids we get the less i’m able to take the time to dry clothes the “right way”. =) But maybe if I win another rack to fit some more clothes on I might do it again! LOL I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love your blog and your testimony was beautiful.

it would be wonderful to win this drying rack. I hang our laundry on the deck railing amidst the spider webs, hoping that a bird doesn’t sit and poop or the horse won’t stir up dust in the field.
thanks for the great giveaway!
