Weekly Giveaway: Pine Branch Designs

Our sponsor this week is Cindy from Pine Branch Designs, a mountain girl from Western North Carolina where lots of pine trees grow! But first let's announce last week's winner~

#9~  The Wooden Bee! Congrats and Enjoy, Bee! You are in for a treat with this hot/cold cherry pit pack, it's like an organic at-home spa treatment to take your stress away! Thanks so much to all of you that entered and to Andrea from Saved by Grace Designs for sponsoring last week's Giveaway, YAY! And don't worry if you didn't win this 'Cheery Pack', Andrea has more and and you can purchase them in a variety of colorful patterns. Just browse her shop where you'll find other beautiful upcycled creations too! Andrea likes to blog, too~ Follow her at Whispers in the Silence...





Now back to this week's Giveaway!

Cindy enjoys the tranquil setting of her home in the mountains of North Carolina, where she has been teaching children with special needs for 16 years and counting! And she has more wonderful children to offer her tender loving care~ several grandchildren! Perhaps Cindy will inspire some of these young minds to follow her path and help our planet by upcycling waste materials into wonderful treasures like the ones she sells. Inspired by elements in nature- gardens, the forest, waterfalls, ice crystals...each item she creates is one-of-a-kind, unique and beautiful- earrings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, spa soap dishes, frames, beaded bookmarks and ornaments~ rustic animal prints, adorable snowman, primitive pumpkins, and zany reindeer! And upon request, each gift can be sent with an ORIGAMI GIFT POUCH made from renewed materials~ old magazines, calendars, wrapping paper and catalogs, her husband cuts and folds each one by hand!




Cindy would love to help you extend the life of your handmade and store bought soaps with natural cedar or pine soap dishes. The design of these soap dishes help absorb water and promote quick drying. They are GREAT in the shower! They are also useful for drying sponges at the kitchen sink or airing out steel wool. You can win a set of 6 of these natural soap dishes in your choice of pine, cedar or a combination of three of each from Pine Branch Designs this week by just browsing, sharing, tweeting or subscribing to her "tiny" newsletter!
