Oh, and one more thing....be sure to read to the very bottom for some special surprises!

Fun Facts About Me/Dawn Correspondence:

1. Dawn Correspondence started out of my apartment my senior year of college to make a little extra cash.
2. I have a minor (and by minor I mean extremely major) obsession with shoes.
3. I am debating painting one wall of my studio with chalk board paint.
4. My inspiration typically comes when I am driving and have time to clear my head and think. I also get a lot of my inspiration from nature.

An amazing weekend .. and a Giveaway!

So my husband and I had the opportunity to attend a Marriage Retreat that was sponsored by The Colorado National Guard. If you or your spouse is in the National Guard I would suggest you check to see if they have Marriage Retreats in your area! This is the organization that put this one on Strong Bonds So check your state and see if they have one going on!

And remember - your marriage does NOT have to be in trouble to go to a Marriage Retreat! It is for enrichment of your marriage! And the tools you take away can be used in MANY aspects of your life!

So during this Marriage Retreat we were treated to a stay at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort & Spa .. we were also lucky enough to have been put on orders so we were reimbursed travel and per Diem!

The program was amazing and was put on by this amazing Chaplin that was actually a Navy Chaplin and he is moving to the Colorado Army National Guard! The Retreat was based on the Book 12 hours to a great Marriage!

I was even able to get an extra copy of the book .. And I am going to give one away!

The timing was perfect for us as we were going on vacation the night we got home and we were going to be talking to my Husbands family about possibly moving from CO to ID and the techniques we learned helped reduce the stress immensely! You will LOVE this book .. If you do not win the giveaway you really should order the book! They have it available at Amazon!

OK So this is what you need to do to enter to win the book - Leave a comment with a positive memory from a relationship in your past or present! It can be a husband/wife; mom/child; Dad/Child; best friends; any type of relationship! I REALLY look forward to reading your comments! Please pass my link on to anyone you think may like to win the book .. and I will probably throw in some other freebies :)

I think we have so many negative things going on in the world today that some great positive stories will be inspirational!

This was a fun challenge! I wish I had looked b4 leaving Idaho as they have some great train stations and could have had some fun pics .. BUT that said I was in Breckenridge and here are a few of the fun pics I took while wandering around enjoying our visit! Not all run on "gas" but they all take some type of fuel! lol And technically 2 or more people can ride on each one.. some may not be too comfortable though! lol

The Gondola ....


Snow Mobile....




Ski Lift ......

Rotary Train Plow from the 1800's (very cool!)


Zamboni at the local Ice Rink ...

Great Sale from Painted Laydies Mineral Makeup!

09/09/2009 special

Buy any 2 10g jars at the regular price of $6.49 and get them for $9.99 when you use the coupon code 9909 at checkout!

One day only!

Click here to shop!

We now offer free 1st class shipping on all orders. If you would like to add flat rate priority shipping for $5.00 to your order, please select that option from the links at the left side of the page.

We understand that it can be confusing to buy mineral makeup online. With so many options and different terms used on each site, it is hard to know what the best deal is.

Did you know that one shade or color can weigh a different amount than another? This is why we offer the same amount of product in each of our jars regardless of color or weight.

For instance, our Shimmy weighs more than our Coal for the same volume of product. 1 tsp of Coal is 2.4 grams, but 1 tsp of Shimmy is 3.1 grams.

So, rather than list our products by weight, we fill by volume each time so you are guaranteed to get the best deal!

All of our 10 gram jars are filled with 1 tsp by volume which ranges between 1 and 3 grams by weight.

All of our 30 gram jars of foundations are filled with 4 tsp by volume wich ranges between 7 and 10 grams by weight.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions!! Debbi@TheKnead2Relax.Com
