Do you love embroidery? Wild Olive is meant for you...

Meet Mollie, the lady behind Wild Olive shop and blog...

My name is Mollie, and I love Jesus. I could stop there, because that's all that really matters, but of course, there's more. Being creative, drinking coffee, listening to good music, and spending time with my family are also important to me, and they occupy most of my days.

Wild Olive means...
Wild Olive is a term used in the Bible to describe those who have, through Jesus, been "grafted" into God's family (Romans 12:17). From the first moment I read that, I have held onto that phrase. It's also probably the most wild thing about me...I'm pretty conservative about a lot of things!

Her most favorite thing about blogging...
Both blogging and having a shop have given me so many opportunities to meet people, both far and near, so that's probably my favorite thing. But I've also been able to help some great causes through my blog and shop, which makes me very happy!

For Cakies readers, Mollie is giving away a membership to her Project of the Month Club, which retails for $45. Here are some things you can do to get yourself in this lovely giveaway:

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite thing from Wild Olive.

2. Blog, tweet, or facebook about this giveaway and leave each separate links here.

Now, if you do all of the things mentioned above, you might even be able to up your chances by getting your name in 4 times! Fantastic, right? Even if you are overseas, please feel welcomed to join in on the fun!

The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Friday, March 16th and the winner will be announced via twitter (follow me on twitter here). Good luck!
