PARTY! 100th Post Giveaway!


Woo hoo! Are you excited yet? I hope so! I want to thank you all for visiting and celebrating my 100th post. I hope you like the giveaways that generous Etsy women have donated.

Please read below about each giveaway and then read the instructions about how to enter--there will be lots of ways to get multiple entries so go to town! Also, please read over the rules because you'll want to make sure your entries are valid! Click on each giveaway listed below and you'll be taken to a description of what you can win and how you can visit their store.


Giveaway 1!

Jennifer of Pink Cupcake Cafe made an AWESOME Paperbag Scrapbook especially for this giveaway!

Her favorite material that she incorporates into her designs are jewels. Jennifer loves how the sparkly stuff makes things look magical! Her favorite thing to do when not working on etsy projects is hanging out with her kids.


Giveaway 2!


Gwen from GJR Designs is donating a custom-made backpack just for this giveaway!

Gwen is a Christian wife and mom to three fabulous kids. With the current economy being the way it is, Gwen prayed for a way to bring in extra income to her household. Her son asked her to make a drawstring backpack and she knew her prayers had been answered! Gwen knows that God has truly blessed her in so many ways and this is just another one of His journey's he has planned for her. While GJR Designs may not become a huge business venture, she will continue following where He leads me and see what happens. You can also visit Gwen on her blog. She is just getting it started so be sure to keep checking in to see what she is keeping her busy!

Giveaway 3!

Robin, of Well of Creations, is generously donating $20 towards any item in her store!

Robin is a Jesus-loving, military wife and mommy. Her husband has been serving in Kuwait since their 3-year old was a toddler but he is coming home in 18 days! While he has been gone, God allowed art to be therapy for Robin, making her feel more connected to Him and to feel productive. Without family in town, crafting also filled her lonely nights and weekends. Hats quickly became her favorite thing to make and, with a little prodding from a fellow Etsyer and friend, Robin launched Well of Creations.


Giveaway 4!

Penny, of Purple Ducks and Stuff, is giving away a One-Size Pocket Diaper and Insert

Penny makes the awesome One Size KCK cloth diaper. This diaper is hands down my favorite pocket diaper that I own. Penny's workmanship is amazing and her customer service is even more incredible! If you are at all considering cloth diapering, this diaper is where I would start! (If you go onto her Etsy site, be sure to click on all the different colored PUL that she has available. There are a lot more diaper options than what you see!)

Giveaway 5!

Sarah, of Coffee Hugs, is giving away your choice of a coffee hug!

Sarah lives in Indiana and is the busy mom of two kids. She has been sewing since she was 7 or 8 years old but it wasn't until she started sewing and selling bags and purses that she decided to pursue an Etsy career. Coffee sleeves quickly became Sarah's favorite things to make and Coffee Hugs was born!

Giveaway 6!


Ashley, of Festive Frills, is giving away these supremely cute flower hair accessories. If you hadn't guessed yet, Festive Frills is actually my twin's brand new Etsy store. She is just getting her business started so be sure to check her store again in the near future to see even more of her creative crafts!

Giveaway 7!

Two pairs of socks from Belleo socks.

After founders Shannon Braley and Kristen Parker became moms they began to wonder if there was a sock that can keep their feet warm and comfortable at all times without slipping off? Their desire to find comfortable, well-fitting and, of course, cute socks led to the creation of Belleo.

Their company’s original title was a name fusion of their two little one’s names - Annabelle and Owen. Belleo, pronounced “BellyO”. Since Belleo began, they have gone through some re-branding and will début their new sock brand, Blindmice, in the fall. These will have the same high quality as Belleo, just with a new name, many more themes, many more colors and….well you will see when they launch in the fall! In the meantime, make sure you check out their warehouse sale by clicking here. Baby C has three pairs and we love them on her!

Countdown to my 100th post!

I cannot believe that I've blogged so much in the past two months that I'm going to hit my 100th post in a few days!

Soo, send me your suggestions on how to celebrate. I'm thinking we need another giveaway! What do you guys want? Something non-mommy related, probably, since all the giveaways have been kiddo-related...we'll see what we can get out there!

Let me know your thoughts! In the meantime, i'll try to post slowly (though I have lots of reviews I want to blog about, I'll resist for the time being)...comment below and we'll get a great 100th post going!

UPDATE: I've been talking with few creative Etsy sellers to see if they'd be willing to showcase their talents by giving away something. They have GREAT stuff and I can't wait to show you what they're willing to give away.
