Girlfriends Giveaway with Mary Snyder
Hey friends.
Today I am up to my elbows in cookies and fudge (literally!). Cranking out neighbor, teacher and publisher gifts. What a perfect day to have you meet my friend Mary Snyder and have a chance at winning her new book, a Starbucks gift card and a funky luggage tag.
Why a luggage tag?
Well, Mary is an adventurous girl. And works for a cruise line. And she loves friendship.
What a great combo!
Here is a short post from her:
Girlfriends. I wanted girlfriends. Not just women to spend time with, but true-blue, laugh-so-hard-you-have-to-cross-your-legs girlfriends. Women who would link arms with me and do life together; women I could trust with my hopes, dreams and my fears. I needed girlfriends.
These feelings were the beginning of the journey the Lord had in store for me – a journey I call the great girlfriend adventure. An adventure filled with incredible times in Bible study with girlfriends to devastating lows when I learned of the betrayal and manipulation of someone I considered a friend. Through it all God has shown me His amazing grace.
I share all of this in God, Grace and Girlfriends: Adventures in Faith & Friendship – along with fun ideas for finding girlfriends, figuring out just what kind of girlfriend you are and I also share my love for getaways!
I have everything from a quick night out ideas to suggestions for week-long road trips.
It’s all about the adventure – in faith and in friendships.
This adventure is a part of my life and I hope that it’s a part of yours. The girlfriend adventure is about relationships in life – relationships with the women you know today and women you’ve yet to meet.
Each day is a fresh opportunity for a new adventure- grab on to this adventure of faith & friendships!
Today Mary is giving away this package. it includes:
~ A copy of her new book
~ A $10 Starbucks gift card
~ A luggage tag (which, by the way, perfectly coordinates with the whimsical cover of her book. She’s all matchy-matchy like that. I dread her seeing my piece-meal luggage set when I travel with her next month!)
So…leave us a short comment with the place in the world you’d most like to visit with a girlfriend or two.
Or, if time you are crunched for time, just say, “I’m in!” (I realize you may be baking cookies today too!)
Winner announced tomorrow and …..speaking of winners….the winner of the giveaway from Tuesday is:

I would love to go to Israel with some of my friends from church. I know we would all appreciate the wonder and awe that we will feel being in the land of Jesus.
i’m in!
I would love to go to Bothell, Washington, my youngest daughter has lived there with her husband for 2 years and is about to give birth to her 3rd son, my 5th grandson, I had planned on being there for the birth, but lost my job so….
Anyway, thank you for your blog! It is so nice and I love to read it!!
Have a very blessed da, and a very Merry Christmas!!
I would like to go on a cruise to somewhere warm.
I would Love to go see Hawaaii! I have always wanted to do this trip & when I came out of my coma in 2007, I remember being told, I would go there if I would wake up & I did my part BUT no trip yet even though I’m not able to do much now so a friend would definitely have to be along!!
Just a few hours from here, Ocean City, New Jersey for the weekend. That would be wonderful!
Wow! I would love to rent a beach house for the weekend to share with my girlfriend or girlfriends. We would have lots of coffee, chocolate, walks on the beach, sharing and praying together.
I would love to go on a cruise anywhere with a few sisterchicks!
I think a trip just about anywhere with a real true girlfriend would be awesome. I have always dreamed of a Carribean Cruise or going to Paris, though! :-)
I’m in!
Anywhere with a good girlfriend would be nice!
Even if it were my front porch in the rocking chairs…
For Dreamers….Paris would be nice :)
There are a couple places I would love to visit with a friend, England, Scotland. Thx!
I think I would enjoy a weekend of consignment shopping!
What great things you can find in consignment shops!
Blessings,
Janet W.
I’m in! I love to go to weekend Christian Ladies’ Retreats with my girlfriends1

Personally I absolutely love roadtrips to the beach but a special trip would be a Christian women’s cruise or Italy!!
Switzerland
I’m in!! Babysitting my twin niece and nephew. So, up to my elbows in bottles, spit up, and diapers!!
I’m in!
Several years ago my best friend and I attended a three day seminar together. During that seminar we made a vow to one day visit the Pyramids of Egypt together. We haven’t gotten there yet but there’s still a lot of life in these old ladies so I’m still hopeful. And as long as we are there I think we should add a few days in the Holy Land, don’t you?
Boy, you sound like my kind of girlfriend. One I’ve been searching for all my life. With my 2 sisters now in heaven along with my mom it’s hard to find true, true, friends. But really this sounds like a great book. If we don’t win, how can we buy it. Anyway the one place I’d love to go with a girlfriend is to the beach. Just to walk on the sand in the winter and spend time by the fire talking and laughing and eating chocolates and drinking hot coco. What a blast. Thanks for sharing and good luck to whomever you choose. Jean Mc.
Karen,
How about sending me a little bundle of those cookies you’re baking today:-)
The place I would love to most visit with a girl-friend or two is a place real place of love, honesty and trust!
Today is my birthday so those cookies sound real good now Karen! I do not have a girl-friend at the moment to share the place of starting out my 43 year of life. so; can I adapt all of you; as my girl-friends?
Baking cookies today here, too! I would love to meet with my best girlfriend at her house and snuggle her sweet 2 month old baby that God provided through the most amazing adoption plan that only He could have ordained!
I would love to take a girlfriend trip with my two sisters, Sonja and Tanya and my 80 yr. old mom….and go to a retreat or a spa or something….and just laugh and enjoy each other’s company and eat alot and watch movies! There’s never enough time in our busy lives to cultivate relationships…..even within our own families. That would be such a blessing to me!!!
