*CLOSED*

Well Hello!

I hope you are all enjoying the Holidays as much as my family and I are!!

I have a great giveaway for you today. I don't know if you know but I have 2 girls. They are both VERY girly girls and love dress-up's, jewelry, and most of all twirly skirts.

So it was a happy day when we got this SUPER cute Corduroy Twirl skirt in the mail from a fantastic little shop called Pinky Swear Boutique.

Since I sew myself, I always look at the product that I review closely and check out how their sewing skills rate... and Pinky Swear Boutique is top notch. They are detail oriented and don't cut the corners when it comes to great material and quality.

It is so perfect for all the winter weather we have out here in Oregon but is so versatile that my girls will be wearing it in the spring and summer as well.

You have to see some of the other items they offer like these one of a kind Initial Tee's:

I want one for all my kiddos!

Review and Giveaway~ Titanium Knights

*CLOSED*

My hubby and I have not been so lucky when it comes to our original wedding rings.

Sadly mine was stolen about 5 years ago and this last summer my husband lost his while swimming in a freezing cold river. Awesome.

So I was like a kid in a Candy store when I got to pick a ring of my choice from Titanium Knights!

I LOVE that this awesome shop is run by a husband/wife team who have been crafting titanium rings for over 8 years.

Not only are all the bands stunning and trendy, you get exactly what you want. You want it personally engraved? You got it. You want grooves or a silver inlay? You got it. They are so easy to work with and get it made and sent out to you so fast.

.

I can't show you the exact one I got for my Mr. because he won't get to open it until our 9th Anniversary a few days after Christmas. Just in case he peeks.

But you have to come see these rings. I put in some pictures of some of the ones that were on my favorites list. It was so hard to choose!

.

Who would like a $40.00 shopping spree over in Titanium Knights? You got it.

Review and Giveaway~ Spell it Out Designs

.

Lately I had wanted to give up on decorating my girls' room. I get stuck in a rut and get lazy and don't want to do anything permanent like paint.

But Spell it out Designs got my creative mojo back and running.

This shop offers several different self-adhesive wall decals. These can be used to transform the look of the rooms in your house, decoration on your vehicle, or anywhere a sticker can stick. It was hard to choose one to review. I LOVE this Vintage Victorian one.

And these Conversation Bubbles...

My son and I have a thing for mustaches so we love this one too

In the end my love for the Vintage decal won over all, but because my girls room is accented in white.... I ordered it in a dry erase board one instead.

HOW COOL IS THAT???

It took me all of 10 minutes to get this up and perfect where I wanted it.

I love it, and they knew that you would too so Spell it Out Designs is generously letting one winner pick any design/size available in their store!

Return to the Family Project with Liz Lemon Swindle

Have you heard about this???
I love when new ideas are thought up to help bring families closer. I just wanted to let you in on a project my sister and some other amazing bloggers have come up with!
It is a project that they have been working on with renowned Christian artist Liz Lemon Swindle which is entitled Return to the Family.

It is fabulous! It promotes not only having a picture of Christ in every home, but a Return to Family and Family Dinners.
"Return To The Family" 2011 Signed Limited Collector's Edition

The Return to Family project is 12 Limited Collectors Edition Paintings with a custom sayings on each print designed to teach and inspire your family and provide opportunities for you to teach lasting values and principals of integrity. Every Month you will have the opportunity to receive a new matted image that will create new interests, new ideas and fresh conversation around the dinner table. Each painting comes with a brief history behind the artwork along with several topics of discussion that correlate with the print.With the Return to the Family project you get:

.

• 12 Limited Edition SIGNED Paintings (one new image every month)

• One custom frame (you have the option to order a new frame for each print or slip in your new print each month into your existing frame)

• History behind each painting

• "Dinner Table" discussion with hidden symbolism and various values and principals of integrity you can discuss with your family around the dinner table.

.

All that for less then $17 a month! Such a great Christmas present. You can purchase all 12 months up front or they also have the option where you can purchase the pictures monthly.

.

The idea of the Return to the Family project is to simply hang this art work next to your dinner table and then let the conversations begin. When children ASK questions, it means that they are ready to LISTEN to the answers. As parents we have a tendency to lecture our children when we want them to learn a specific lesson, value or principal. Hanging uplifting Art in your home makes it so that the children can study it out in their mind and then ASK making it possible for the spirit to then TEACH. Uplifting Art in your home can teach, testify and change hearts.

.

I love the idea of changing out these pictures every month. I feel like it will not only inspire my children, but me as well. That is what they want to help you do with your family, and the Return to the Family is a start to making that happen.

They have hand selected some of Liz's amazing art for you to receive each month and invite you to join us in the Return to the Family by hanging uplifting Art on the walls of your home.

Winner!!!

Congratulations to:

Thanks for playing!

Review and Giveaway~ Gel Design

*CLOSED*

I have a great giveaway for you today.

I love creative fun gifts and think that if you can combine fun with learning you have struck gold!

Gel Designs is a shop that is run by the sweetest girl who is a digital designer extraordinaire!!

How cute are these??

.

What are they you ask?

Super durable, super cute, laminated, 2-SIDED place mat and educational activity mat for kids!

Here are what the fronts can look like:

.

And the backs:

.

My daughter Macie was the proud tester-outer for this review and truthfully I don't know which one of us has benefited more from it.

She loves to eat dinner on her colorfully designed mat ... and, as an added bonus, the back side is an activity mat.
The benefit for me is that while I make dinner she stays totally occupied practicing her penmanship, drawing shapes, counting, telling time, practicing math, learning geography and so much more.

She loves that it has her name all over it and that she can trace it over and over again. Super easy to clean and it covers lots of table top space so it stays clean too.

I bet you all know someone who would like a personalized activity mat of their very own this Holiday season.....and thanks to Gel Design I get to give one away.
