My Giveaway & See What I Won In A Giveaway !

Hey Everyone!  I hope you're all heading over to Surviving Motherhood to learn the details for our GIVEAWAY!!!   I'm so excited that Cheri is organizing this. You should sign up to follow her blog as well because she will be featuring a few other shops and more prizes!  It's fun to be the winner every now and then, right?  And even if you don't need the item you won, then maybe it can be used as a gift for someone you know. Or you could donate it to an organization that needs items for a raffle, etc. Lots of possibilities here.  Speaking of giveaways.... I was the recipient of the cutest coin purse just recently!  One of my favorite blogs to follow is PINK STITCHES.  The week {or two} before last she was celebrating her blogiversary {just love that word} and Pay It Forward.  I was among the lucky winners! I received my coin purse this past weekend and have already put it to good use. I can't believe I actually found some loose change around here!  Inside the purse was an adorable hair clip bow! Of course I have pictures of both... check it out:

Simply Adorable!

What did I tell ya? How cute are these?  I just love them.  I will also "Pay It Forward" in my shop so when we reach the deadline for the current giveaway {and after I figure out what I will be giving away}, be on the lookout for another chance to win!  Oh, this is so much fun :-) 
Don't forget to head on over to PINK STITCHES AND SURVIVING MOTHERHOOD EARLY YEARS for tons of great "news that you can use" { not my quote ~ can't remember who said that but just seemed appropriate to put here}.  Lol, let me know if you know where I heard that!   UPDATE: {4/21/11} I want to mention that PINK STITCHES is having ANOTHER awesome giveaway! But, it's ending tonight so hurry over to see the loot up for grabs! Click RIGHT HERE, MY FRIEND  Best of luck to you.  Enjoy your day and our giveaways!
Until next time,

\*/ FABulous * Female * Feature \*/ And A Giveaway !!

Hey Everyone ! 
My friend Cheri and author of Surviving Motherhood, Early Years, wrote a really great feature for her blog.  The title:  "Fabulous Female Feature" . And, She was kind enough to add me! I feel so honored {Not so much "Fabulous!"}.      In return, I am excited to give her blog a special mention. Click Here To Check It Out !.   Cheri has three little ones and is also taking classes for nursing school.Just the three little ones is a full time job And, just school alone is a full time project ~ I speak from experience! I don't know how she does it....but she does, and she does a wonderful job, too.  She asked me if I'd be interested in a giveaway & I said "YES, of course!"  I'd love to have more blog interaction and a giveaway might be the ticket.  So be sure to stay tuned.
I hope to post again tomorrow.  I have more pics to upload of new shop items, plus {yep, I did it} I HAD to purchase that AdOrAbLe  Stiletto Necklace.  It's not that I can't resist beautiful, sparkly things but I have to look at it from the advertising angle.  It's for my Etsy shop!  Because now that I purchased from KATIE BELLE DESIGN, my shop will be featured in her next BNR.  Twice!! It's just a win-win for all.{see, told you it's not just about my weakness for sparkle}  And, it really works.  I've had a few more sales because of the BNR's.  So, If you have an Etsy shop, you should sign up for one. Without sounding like a broken record ~ wait, do we even have records anymore? Without sounding like a scratched CD, those BNR's are SO fun.  I've met many wonderful women from all over. 
Besides new items, I also have a couple ideas for tutorials.. maybe even a tasty recipe or two!  Oh, and  I haven't forgotten to tell you about the very interesting family tree story ~ time keeps escaping me ~ but I will get to that soon as well.
So, until next time,
