A Million Memories – Giveaway for Basic Grey Granola Papers

School is back in session.  A lot of us have little ones that started Preschool and Kindergarten this year.  Tuesday was my daughter Chloe’s first day of Kindergarten.  I dropped her off and then walked home crying like a baby! LOL.  I’m grateful for this day.  I want to celebrate, so I’m going to give you all a chance to win this new paper collection by Basic Grey.

Here’s the catch (yah, there’s always a catch) ~ tell me something that you are thankful for.  I am thankful that my daughter is in remission after battling 9 months of intensive chemotherapy to fight Leukemia.  I am thankful that she was able to start Kindergarten on time.  I am grateful that she has already made a few friends at school and that she comes home happy and ready to do her homework assignments with a smile. 

I will choose a winner next Tuesday night, September 9th, so please be sure and stop by here if you would like a chance to win.
