Recall these pretties I posted about arriving on my doorstep last Friday?
Kristen from My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia chose me as her "Pay It Forward" friend to receive this beautiful arrangement of flowers from the Better Homes and Gardens line at FTD.com. And even better, I have been given TWO gift certificates valued at $50 each to pass on to you, in celebration of Mother's Day!
To enter simply leave a comment on this post telling me who you would send a bouquet to.
And hey, if you are feeling like you'd enjoy a bouquet for yourself, that works for me!
Tweet or post on your facebook page for an extra entry each - just let me know you've done so in your comment. But hurry, this giveaway ends Saturday at midnight, PST, and will be announced Sunday!
{p.s., thanks for the flowers Kristin and FTD.com!}

Delightful!
I would like to send them to my daughter who is far away and studying for her last set of law school finals. I know she is tired, stressed and missing home, these would make her smile :)
I would send them to my next door neighbor whose beloved husband recently went to heaven.
I would send one to my sister who lives in AZ; she recently lost her kitty and is heartbroken...
Well, I would be totally selfish here, Janell! I would get a bouquet for myself. I can't remember the last time I bought fresh flowers just for me.
I would love to send these to my mom. It would make her day.
I would give the flowers to my best friend. Her husband has been sick (just the flu, nothing serious)& has been home with her. From what she's been telling me, he's driving her crazy.
I look forward every morning to see what you have posted....LOVE everything you find to post. So many good ideas.
H1 Janell - I would love to send them to a dear friend who has a son struggling with serious medical issues.
Oh I forgot to say who I would give them to....first off my husband, he has been dianosed with Metastatic Melanoma and this would brighten his room...and then one for my sweet daughter who just graduated from university the other day, for her condo. Thanks for this wonderful chance to make someone else smile. :)
I would send them to my mother. This will be the first year she will be celebrating Mother's Day without her own Mother.
Great giveaway. I would send them to my best friend whose grandmother passed away just last night.
I would send them to my sister! She just welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world and will be celebrating her first mothers day.
Definitely to my mom because she is fantastic!
I would send them to one of my besties that I haven't seen in forever just to let her know I was thinking about her.
I'd send the bouquest to Mom for Mother's Day!
I would send the bouquet to my good friend in NC! Lovely giveaway. Your flowers are so pretty, by the way!

Honestly, I'd send them to myself. My husband and I have struggled with infertility and loss over the past few years, and I'm in the midst of another round of treatments. Mother's Day is a hard time for those who struggle to become a mom
I would send a bouquet to my friend who has been struggling with infertility. She needs a pick me up.

I would send them to the two most special ladies in my life! One to my mother and one to my grandmother.
Hey Janell! What a nice gift from Kristen who has an awesome blog too-and live in the NW...even better! I would send the flowers either to my mon who love in AZ and would really appreciate them or to a close friend who after years of infertility is finally pregnant. Thanks and keep up the beautiful-ness that comes out of your blogs!
I would send them to my grandma who's in the hospital right now.
Beautiful! I'd send flowers to my aunt who just got diagnosed with cancer and could use a little cheer.
I would love to give me Mom flowers. She has been such a help to me and my family and it would really brighten her day.
I have posted on my FB. Hope to win!!
I'd send them to my best friend. We like to surprise each other randomly, and I think I've only sent her flowers once, several years ago. We have been beseties since I was 18 (and I'm 33 now...).
I would send flowers to my mom, today is her birthday and she was actually born on Mother's day-which I think makes it an extra special birthday. She has recently been through a major surgery to removed part of a cancerous tumor and then 5 weeks of radiation. It has been a really difficult time for her, and I know that flowers always help to brighten her spirits. Thanks for a chance to win!
My dad who is recovering from surgery and I know that these beauties would brighten his day!
I'd send them to my daughter. She has been missing her husband, who is staying with his mother as she recovers from surgery.
I would love to give the flowers to my mom. She does so much and always deserves recognition - not only on mother's day.
Good Morning...I would send them to my mother-in-law who lives in Oregon and wont be able to be with us for our Mothers Day BBQ!
Good Morning...I would send them to my mother-in-law who lives in Oregon and wont be able to be with us for our Mothers Day BBQ!
I would send a bouquet to my mom. This year I can't afford to take her out for a nice brunch for mother's day, so I'd treat her to a bouquet of flowers instead. As a recent divorcee, a bright and cheery arrangement from her loved ones will be a perfect pick me up!
I would absolutely send them to my mom, no hesitation. :)
I would send them to my sisters.
I would send these to my amazing grandmother. She just returned home from a stay in the hospital and can use all the reminders of love that she can get!
I would send them to my mama! She's had a rough couple weeks and was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a beautiful bouquet would bring a smile to her face.
I would love to send a bouquet to our daughter who lives far away from us--she is a great mom and I would love to put a smile on her face with flowers....
Aww what a cute giveaway! I'd send them to dear old mom, of course. She loves having bright blooms around!
I love beautiful flowers!
Have a great day!
I would send a bouquet to my mother & my aunt!
Of course I would give them to my mom on Mother's Day! She deserves them! :)
I would send them to my new blog friend, Kerry Steele of Design du Monde, who is sick this week...

I would send a bouquet to my fabulous mom!
I would send to my very good girlfriend who just found out she has MS...
I would send them to my best friend who as a single mother of two, is very hardworking and never gets anything nice for herself!
Talk about tugging at heartstrings. So much going on in people's lives! I would send flowers to my 91-year-old grandmother, Nana. She feel and cracked her pelvis and has to lay in bed for it to heal. Unfortunately, there isn't any family near her, and I think flowers would add a bright spot to her day. Thanks for the opportunity!
Very pretty! I would send them to my sister who has been having a tough time at work lately and could use some cheering up.
Those flowers are so lovely. I would love to send them to my mother! Wouldn't that be a nice mother's day surprise? I don't think I've bought my mother flowers in 10+ years.
would send them to a dear friend named sarah. she is in her eighties and has been taking care of her great-grandchildren (instead of them taking care of her :)).
I'd definitely send it to my mother! She lives in a different state and would love it.
Awesome! I'd be sorely tempted to keep one for myself and the other for one of my best friends in high school. PS loved the latest issue of HoF.
Nothing brightens your day like flowers! I think I'd send them to my 10 year old grand-daughter. She's such a sweetie!
I would send them to my mom!
If I was really honest, I'd say I'd keep them, but since we're being generous, I'd send them to my mama. She's just swell.
:-) Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovely! I'd send some to a friend who is moving and is having to spend several weeks away from her husband.
I'd send one to my Gramma.... she really appreciates pretty things!
I'd have to send some to my mom.
I would enjoy these with my family
I would love to send a bouquet to my neighbor, who is a friend and also and my daughter's dentist. My 12 year old broke her perfect front tooth on Friday night and my friend took a look at it on Saturday and fixed it in her office on Sunday(both Saturday and Sunday were her days off)but she knew how important it was to my daughter (and to me)for her not to go long with a broken smile!
My lovely mother deserves them! She is sick with a stomach virus because she took care of my 2 sick nephews and my niece to give my sister-in-law a break. That is sacrifice!!
Sine they have international delivery, I would send a bouquet to my Mom back in France.
i would send them to my mother-in-law. she has helped us so much with our 2 boys since the littlest one was born in november.
*** What a THOUGHTFUL, UBER-GREAT-BLOGGER GAL KRISTIN is!!!
MOTHERS' DAY is always a bittersweet day for me~~~ we always wanted children, but I "couldn't", no matter WHAT tests were done or what was tried "in those days"... we also wanted to adopt (I always wanted at least one adopted child to love), BUT, moves required by Jim's Army career (26 moves in 38 years) always made us unable to qualify for state residency.
Soooo, altho I lost my dearest Mom (& best friend besides Jim) in my 30's, I AMMMMM blessed to have a WONNNNDERFUL (loving, supportive & unbelievably healthy) Mother-in-law of 85, and that's the "sweet" part of the day... I already ordered flowers for her, & my darling Jim always buys me a beautiful "something" for Moms' Day, just because "he knows" even after 44 years, that it's still a little bit of a heartache for me if I LET it be...
Sooooo yes, I think I'D enjoy some pretty, happy, smile-making Mothers' Day Flowers for being such a good MOM to Belle & Marnie, our two, preccccious HUNTING DOGS!!!
Geez, just re-read this... it's long... sorry, I got "carried away"... Guerss I'll hang up my VIOLIN ~~~ right now!!!
Hugs,
Linda in AZ *

Oh, beautiful flowers! I'm a mom! ;)
my mom of course!
I'd love to send my mom, who lives 12 hrs. away, a pretty flower arrangement!
I would send it to my mom:-)
I would love to send them to my sister... She is not a mom.. and misses out this holiday and it's been a rough year for her and she could use the lift...
So pretty! I would send them to my mother for Mother's Day and all her hard work and dedication
I would send flowers to my wonderful mother.
i would be greedy and keep them for me. with all the madness that come with motherhood, they would be a nice reminder to stop and enjoy the little moments.
So pretty, I would send them to my 96 year old grandmother who is recovering from a fall.
I would send flowers to my mother. I have recently began to send her flowers for mother's day and her birthday. She loves receiving them to her home and gets very excited.
I would send them to my mom. She doesn't get flowers very often, she's been through a lot healthwise, and is now recovering from knee surgery, so I know this will brighten her spirits!
I would send them to my sister...she is a person with special needs-and she will never have a husband or children who will send her flowers for any reason, let alone for Mother's Day.
I would send them to my lovely mother! She is a very special lady!
I would send it to my grandmother.
I would send them to my cousin who was kind enough to remember me on my birthday.
I would send them to my Mom, who has been handling my Dad's rehab hospitalization for the last five months.
Those are very happy little flowers. I think I'd send them to my momma...although my new sister-in-law loves gerber daisies and they did host us over the weekend....How will I ever decide? ;)
I'd love to send a bouquet to my mother. I already sent her some chocolate-covered strawberries but this would be the perfect complement to that.
Thanks for the opportunity!
If I won, I'd send them to my daughter, a compassionate, caring young woman who works so hard and needs a little pick-me-up sometimes.
I would send them to my mom, since I won't be able to see her on Sunday. Thanks ~
I would send them to my aunt, who has been in and out of the hospital with my uncle since December.
How sweet! I would send a bouquet to a friend who is a mother of twins. She has had a rather sad and stressful time lately and could use cheering.
I think I would send them to my wonderful friend Judy.
I'd send them to my friend who is going through a rough few months since her daughter died.
I would send those beautiful flowers to my beautiful mother and the other to my sweet Aunt, who recently has been going through some trials and tribulations as mother. These flowers would surely cheer her up.
I would love to send these beautiful flowers to my amazing daughter, Brittany. She is is the most wonderful mom (not to mention pediatric ER nurse) to her 2 beautiful children Ellie (3) and Judah (1), who both have cystic fibrosis. Brittany works so hard everyday just to keep them healthy as well as to teach them to be polite and caring little people. It's so hard, but she never complains even though she is a half a continent away from any family. While I can't be there in person as often as I would like, I know these flowers would add some sunshine to her day!

Who doesn't love getting a bouquet of flowers at the door? I would love to send them to my wonderful neice, who is celebrating her first Mother's Day this year.
I would send a bouquet to my best friend in Chicago who is going through a really hard time...a pretty bouquet of flowers would let her know I was thinking of her and wishing her bright, happy thoughts :)Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would send them to my sweet grandmother!
i am a fairly new follower and enjoy your blog posts immensely. i would most likely, if the $ would stretch to include two items, send one off and keep one for myself. it's the gerbera daisies that got me...my fav. i like the idea of paying forward and there's always someone who could use some unexpected cheerfulness at their doorstep!

oops...forgot to say i tweeted about this!
I would love to send flowers to my grandmother. She lives really far away from us and is recovering from a few surgeries. Since I can't be with her, being able to send a pretty bouquet of flowers would be the next best thing!
Hi, Janell--
I would send flowers to my dear friend, Ellen--a writer and professor and extraordinary wife and mother. Her husband has just entered hospice care at home and a colorful bouquet would brighten her day.
As Alexandra Stoddard says, real flowers remind us of our limited time here--and to cherish each day.
Best,
Jan
As much as I would love those in my home I would definitely send them to my Mom. If she won the lottery she would have fresh flowers everyday in her home. That flower arrangement is beautiful.
i would LOVE to send a bouquet to my mom and to my mother-in-law.
The flowers would have to go to my MIL (Mother in Law) she gets the shaft too often because she lives further away than my mom! Love to all MIL's - the hardest job in town!
What a great giveaway! I would use this to send a lovely bunch of flowers to my Grandma on a random day. She lives alone now and I would love to be able to brighten her day a little bit.
I would send them to my mom, she is definitely the best! I also would consider my sister in law who just lost her baby yesterday:(
Oh these are so beautiful. I'd love to have one just like it!
I would send them to my grandma. Yesterday was her birthday and my son had surgery so I wasn't able to go see her.
Those are beautiful!!! I think I would have to send them to myself... or at least someone close to me so I can enjoy them too (; Haha, I say that, but in reality I would send them to whoever I feel needs them to brighten their day. Today, it would be my mother-in-law who is dealing with health issues.
Assortment at Flowers Armenia are really baneful!
