Four for the Fourth.

Happy Fourth of July weekend!
How about a giveaway?
How about four?
Let's celebrate.


Meet Simona from

"I am a full time nanny to 7 year old triplets (plus my daughter), mommy, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and like a lot of moms moonlight as a chef, cab driver, organizer, scrapbooker, crafter and photographer.  I have always wanted to find a hobby but, unlike my husband who has no problem finding hobbies, I struggled to find something I enjoyed or had the time for. I realized about a year ago that I’d like to try and sell what I already love to do.  In January a friend convinced me to try out a craft fair where I received some custom orders. Since that day I realized how much I really enjoy it, not just because it gives me the opportunity to be creative and be a part of an amazing community of talented women, but also the gratification I get from the positive feedback of those who have purchased and love my products.  My daughter enters kindergarten this coming fall and I am looking forward to diving into my new found hobby and keeping myself artistically challenged while she’s in school. So here goes nothing. I am launching my ETSY shop and I couldn't think of a better way to get started. "

I am happy to help launch her shop!
Simona is giving away this fun custom chalkboard clipboard.
How smart is the little chalk holder/ eraser?
Think of the fun notes you or your little ones could write.
Super handy for long car rides as well.


Second, meet Blush.
The topless undershirt.
When I came across the Blush website within minutes had filled up my cart.
They are simple and smart.
Useful and brilliant.
Just like it sounds, they are an undershirt without a top or straps.
Just enough of the softest coziest fabric you can imagine to give you the extra coverage under your clothes.  
I am long waisted and hate constantly tugging on my shirts to properly cover my waist and it's post baby awesomeness.
Now I don't even think about it.
Plus, it is an absolute must have for nursing moms.
No more flashing tummies.
One winner will receive their choice of Blush undershirt.
It will change your life.


Meet Jeanne

"It all started when I was a little girl… My love for fabrics and sewing came from my mom who used to hand make everything from cross-stitch pictures, to knitted blankets, to sweet frilly dresses for Christmas. She always had some sort of needle, thread or basket of fabric around for me to play with. From there, I started learning simple crafts to give as gifts when I was in high school…any excuse to pinch a penny! I always knew that a homemade gift was personal and hopefully a bit cherished by my loved one.

After years of sewing on my mom’s sewing machine, she finally bought me one for my 30th birthday a few years ago. Once I got it up and running, my fingers haven’t stopped! I began making baby onesies, bibs, and what-not, and have now added some gift ideas for the moms and women in our lives. I kid you not, every time I enter a fabric store, my heart starts beating really fast because I’m so excited to get to work! 


So here we are today…my little business is small, but mighty (I like to say). I have been married for over 5 years to my sweet Dave (a high school teacher) and am a stay-at-home mom (like so many of you amazing mothers out there). My main job is raising and hangin’ with my little man, Simon. He’s 3 years old and a lil’ firecracker like his mama. But we are quite the team…he sits across from me with play dough in hand, or plays his drums while I have fabric sprawled across my living room floor. It works…we get to be together, so that’s all that matters. 


The future?…I’ll probably ALWAYS be working with fabric like my mom. “It’s in the blood,” she says. The best part is that my mom is going to leave a legacy to us girls, and to all her grandchildren. She’s made hundreds of quilts for people…family, children, strangers, and even for the homeless in local shelters. I hope to leave the same for those I love. Thanks, mama!"

For the first time I am hosting a giveaway for one of my friends.
So fun!
Jeanne is amazing, sweet and so talented.
She has the biggest heart and is such an encourager.
In fact she invited me to participate in my first boutique that gave me the confidence to start my own Etsy shop.
One winner will get to choose their choice of apron from her shop.
Imagine how cute you will look while cooking.



Lastly, meet me.
(actually, giveaway number four rescheduled, 
so I wanted to join in on the fun.)
One winner will be the new owner of this 
Easier Than Amy Butler necklace that I made for yesterday's tutorial.  
I was having so much fun I actually made two and want to share the love.

So, how do you win?
This week you have four chances to enter.
(Remember to leave a separate comment for each entry.)

1.  Visit Simona's shop.
Come back here and let me know your favorite item.
2.  Visit her blog and leave some comment love.
3.  Visit Jeanne's blog/ shop.
Leave some comment love on your favorite item.
Then come back and tell me what it is.
4.  Write someone a sweet note.
Not an email.
A real note.
With a pen
and paper.
Bringing old school back.
Then come back here and leave a comment with the word "note".

I will randomly choose four winners on Monday July 6th at noon pacific time.

Now go light some fireworks for me.
Sadly they are illegal here and I miss them!!!

Happy Fourth of July.

Vicky has brought food,brought hugs and laughter, and brought love into my life and my house. so my note to her was i'm sure inadequate to even begin to tell her how much she has meant to me. thank you for the chance to win some blog candy.

    I visited Simona's site and I like the custom plaque. My daughter, just like me, has a unique name and personalized items are hard to come by.
