And to help foster some excitement for this event, I’ve been given the privilege to give away some fun goodies. So, even if you can’t make the event (I don’t think I’ll be able to go, but it sure does sound like so much fun!), you can at least enjoy some of the eye candy. We can’t give away a ticket to the event, BUT…..

One of my readers will win 4 books from the featured speakers, as well as some extra special little Southern goodies that will be added to the giveaway:

Gracious Spaces, by Hoffman Media CEO, Phyllis Hoffman. This is a visually beautiful book on entertaining and has some wonderful pics.

You might remember that we all had fun with the book review I did recently on the above book, Honey It’s All in the Shoes. This one will be included too.

Remember Laurie Hickson-Smith, from Trading Spaces? She has a beautiful design book out too, Discovering Home.

And last but not least, Sister Schubert’s cookbook, Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters. Do you love Sister Schubert’s rolls and do you have them in your grocery store? We sure do love her products. She’s an Alabama girl and has wonderful breads right in the frozen food section of your grocery store and they are all yummy.

I’m fortunate to be getting copies of all of these books for my home too and cannot wait to read them all.

So, all you have to do to win is leave a comment right here on this post! Tell me about your girlfriends and what you enjoy doing with them when you get the chance.

One of you will win all these wonderful books AND if any of you have the time and opportunity to attend this fun event with your girlfriends, I know you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Please leave a comment and you just might win those wonderful books!  I’m going to leave this giveaway open all next week (until Sat., the 19th) and when I return, I’ll pick a winner!
