Meet & Greet: Twysted Yarn & GIVEAWAY

Hello gals!!!
Today I'd like to take a moment and introduce our New Sponsor, Twysted Yarn! Who is also taking part in my very first ever and first of a series of my 100 follower giveaway!!!

Before I introduce you to the momma behind the crochet needles, I'd like to say thank you. I started blogging when I had found out that I was pregnant. I was scared and I just wanted to be able to let it all out. Just vent. I had no intentions of gaining any followers at all, it just kind of happened. And I was surrounded by a community of women who didn't judge me, but upheld me and my child and relationship, speaking life into us. So it's been a good journey, and I'm a blogging addict. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I love meeting other women with like minded faith, it's encouraging!! So here's to you!!!

I'd like to present to you a fellow momma and new sponsor:

This is Morgan and her beautiful family!!!


This is the momma behind the business, Twysted Yarn. She will be hosting our giveaway but there's more to her than her business.

"I'm a book worm and an English/grammar geek at heart. My pet peeve is when people say, 'I could care less', when in truth, they mean, "I couldn't care less'. I was an English teacher for 4 1/2 years prior to becoming a mom, so I always say I had 450 kids before I ever had my own. I truly loved teaching but now my whole heart goes into being a mommy.

Even though I grew up as a popular kid and 'jock', arts were always encouraged in my home, and I was fortunate to find the love of music and a gift of playing the piano. A night never passed when I didn't witness my mom creating something with her hands, so it was only natural that I would take up crocheting while in high school.


However, Twysted Yarn would have never come to fruition had it not been for my daughter. While pregnant with her, I taught myself the more fashionable side of crocheting (leaving behind granny squares and afghans and forging on to hats, headwraps and headbands, scarves, etc.).

Crocheting now serves as that creative outlet and music of my soul. I love putting together colors, materials, and ideas to create something beautiful. I'm a busy mom of 2 babes under 2, and my life is so abundantly full of love and joy. Our firstborn, a boy, has Down syndrome, and he has taught us what true beauty, love, and joy are. His little sister already is fiercely loyal and protective, though she's only 9 months old and doesn't know the significance of that.

What 'Twysted Yarn' represents to me is that you can take what others view as a tangled mess and with a few 'twysts', create something beautiful, sort of like our sometimes crazy, messed up lives."
-Morgan {Twysted Yarn}

I happened to hop upon her page a while back via etsy and I remember bookmarking it because I've been nagging Jose to get me one of the crocheted headwarmer things for a while. And I hit her page again last week and I was like, maybe she would like to host one of the giveaways for my 100 followers {cuz if I can't get the headband, one of my followers surely should}...I got a response back not only to a yes but that she too was also a Christian and momma and totally in love with the idea of sponsoring and hosting. So here's to Morgan at Twysted Yarn!!!
