Announcements Galore Giveaway!


As I mentioned earlier this week, Announcements Galore was so kind to sponsor my registration for the BlogHer conference. And lucky for you all, the generosity does not stop there.

In anticipation of the conference next week they are sponsoring a $25 giveaway for their site and one of you will win! : )

Announcements Galore has photo announcement cards and invitations for any occasion. They offer everything from cute Christmas cards to darling birth announcements (and we all know who is going to need some of those soon!). They also offer assistance with the design and will send you a jpeg so you can print the cards yourself if you choose.

Another cute product they offer are photo magnets that go right on the fridge. I LOVE this idea! I always have to find a magnet to hang announcments and invitations on the fridge but this way, it's right there!

If you would like to win a $25 gift certificate to Announcements Galore please visit the site and tell me what type of announcement or invitation you would choose.

For an extra entry you can tweet about this giveaway and let me know in an additional comment.

Easy enough, right?

This giveaway is available to U.S. residents only.

Giveaway comments open until Tuesday, July 21st at midnight, CST. I will choose a winner on Wednesday, the day before I leave for BlogHer!

Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you win, either through your blog profile or with an email address.

Thanks to Announcements Galore and thanks to all who enter! : ) Good Luck!

It's My Love's Birthday

Thirty-five years ago today a special baby entered the world. Twenty-one years later (plus some months) we met. Four years later we were married and now, almost ten years later, we've built a life together that I thank God for everyday.

He's a pretty simple, hard working man and all he asked for for his birthday was a ticket to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (which he saw last night) and for me to bake him a yellow layer cake and cover it with chocolate frosting. And of course I'm totally down with the cake part. And the H.P. part is just the icing on his cake.

We plan to celebrate him with dinner out to a place of his choosing and lots of hugs, kisses and well... cake.

I love you my Tim, Happy Birthday... XOXOXOXO

(yes, this picture is kind of old. I need to take more pics of my man...)

All Modern Baby - Giveaway


I'm a fairly traditional girl but with baby girl I've decided to go a little more modern in her nursery. I bought a rug that I just love and am planning her room pretty much around said rug (pictures to follow later...)

So I find it somewhat prophetic that All Modern Baby recently contacted me to do a giveaway for their site.

I've had SO much fun perusing their products and dreaming about all the things that I could buy for the wee one. Mind you, we still have many things the boys used but it's still so fun to dream and find things that would be so cute for her room and for taking her out and about.

And speaking of out and about (and in and about), All Modern Baby carries such items as Maclaren strollers as well as Stokke Tripp Trapp high chairs. The high chair is seriously cute and I think it would fit fabulously in my breakfast area. And then there's the Stokke Sleepi collection which has the potential to take your child from itty-bitty baby to kiddo in the sleep department. Not to mention the design is so nice! I love the curves!

I also have my eye on this wall art and this diaper bag and this bib. The list goes on...

Anyway, enough about me, this giveaway is about you! All Modern Baby is generously offering one of my lucky readers a $50 credit that is good site-wide! How awesome is that?

For your first entry, please go visit All Modern Baby and tell me what you find that you would love to use the credit towards (comments without mention of an item from their site will not be considered).

For extra entries (leave a separate comment for each):

* Follow my blog (or let me know if you already do).

* Tweet about this giveaway and leave a link to your tweet (you can do this once a day if you like)

* Subsribe to my blog (or let me know that you already do).

Open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.

Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you win, either through your blog profile or email address. If I cannot get in touch with you I will pick another winner.

This giveaway will run through the rest of this week and I will pick a winner on Friday night. Enjoy their site and Good Luck!
