Santa’s Secrets: YouCanMakeThis

*Closed*

I received this great pitch from Courtney at YouCanMakeThis, She asked if I’d like to do a giveaway for a great holiday gift for TWO lucky readers. Of course I said yes, I mean the crafts on their site are beautiful and even though some are specific for certain holidays, I’m sure they can be used all year long with different supplies.

I was given the Fancy Filled Sewn Tutu. I have yet to try this, but this just looks so cute, and while the photo shows some fallish items I already have ideas for other seasons/events/holidays and can’t wait to get started. I also love that it comes with 40 different tutu recipes, this is just a really flexible pattern that seems to be able to go with what ever your little one’s imagination is taking them that day. I can’t wait to try this and I definitely can’t wait to see my nieces run around in them, IF they come out fabulous that is ha!

I was asked about doing a giveaway for the Kimberbell Kids 24” doll and “Gift-Giver” Patterns. These would make excellent toys for your precious gift this Christmas morning. Now if you haven’t seen these dolls before you have to check them out because they look so adorable and soft and cuddly.

Also, I wanted to share some of the email I was sent about this great blurb by a You Can Make This rep:

With the holidays just around the corner, we thought it would be fun to showcase some quick and easy gift ideas you can give to friends, neighbors, co-workers, and oh yes…even your family!

Santa’s Secrets: Peace Love Mom Giveaway

Okay I don’t know about you but I LOVE to funky, coloful, and fun mom items, and sometimes really good ones are hard to find that are not outrageous in price. So when I came across Peace Love Mom I was really excited by how adorable their clothes are. I really liked the different look to the “mom” clothes and I felt they fitted my style and attitude a lot better.

Now if you have NEVER heard of PeaceLoveMom well here is a little information taken right from their website:

PeaceLoveMom is made up of a team of Moms with one common goal – to create “a celebration of motherhood” for all types of mothers. PeaceLoveMom, a lifestyle brand company was designed to share life’s many moments of motherhood. Established in 2006, the PeaceLoveMom team of ladies brings variant backgrounds, perspectives, and creativity to the table. Although the day-to-day business tasks are split, every PeaceLoveMom in our company possesses the same passion for motherhood and their new found careers. Creating designs that will both inspire and empower mothers everywhere, PeaceLoveMom represents a collaboration and true celebration of motherhood.

Also, they have been featured in such places as CNN, Atlanta Business Radio, Access Hollywood (for helping with Tori Spelling’s Winter Wonderland party benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California), as well as having been in various parenting magazines and even on such stars as reality tv star Kate Gosslin, Dances With The Stars star Tia Carrere, Idol Winner David Cook’s mother Beth Foraker, Emmy award nominated actress Cheryl Hines, and Super Model Cindy Crawford while she was shopping with her daughter Kaia. So in owning your own PeaceLoveMom shirt, you can say you shop at the same place they do (who has to know it’s online and not in the actual stores lol!) Also, what mother doesn’t want to feel like a Celeb (without all the added stresses of course lol)!

But with these awesome shirts/sweaters it would be hard for any mom to not fall in love with them.  So when it came time to pick my item for a review I was of course overwhelmed. But there was one shirt in particular that I just kept coming back to. It was the Rock & Roll Mom Black Comfy Thermal and I have to say it is SO comfy, the name doesn’t lie. I love the design of the shirt, as that is the first thing you notice, but I really love how well it fit. I was worried about it looking baggy and such, but nope it fit just fine without being too tight or too baggy. It also covered my jeans just the right amount as well (I just hate when half of my back is showing as I bend over to do something lol). Even the hubby commented on how soft and comfy the shirt felt. It has quickly became one of my favorite shirts to wear, even after how well it holds up in the wash.

Here is what PeaceLoveMom has to say about this shirt:

The Rock & Roll Mom – hip, happening, and on the move. Her heart beats with the love from her kids and the song of laughter ringing in her ears.

PeaceLoveMom celebrates with Beth Foraker the mom of American Idol Winner David Cook.

Body Style: Long Sleeve soft to the touch waffle fabric, 100% cotton, tapered waist, long length, cozy feel, garment washed and dyed. Made in America.

Right now PeaceLoveMom has a great December promotion going on:

Receive a FREE PeaceLoveMom Tote Bag with any purchase $100 and over. Use coupon code GWP100 until 12/24.

Now for the best part! One lucky reader is able to win their own Peace Sign Dot Cozy Thermal (a $50.00 value pictured to the right) and entering is so simple:

Santa’s Secrets: Kodak $110 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

*Giveaway Closed*

Kodak is doing this rad tour called Save $110 and if you’ve never heard of this before, well the idea of this is to “put your money in your wallet, not your printer.” This tour is traveling across the country to show families how to save on average $110 per year on ink with Kodak’s All-in-One inkjet printers. I know how crazy buying ink for a printer can be, the hubby and I have often contemplated how it would be cheaper to buy a new printer instead of buying new printer cartridges. The neat part is this tour is apart of Kodak’s  “Print & Prosper” marketing campaign. This campaign reinforces how Kodak’s All-in-One inkjet printers are revolutionizing the inkjet printer business by offering the lowest total ink replacement cost in
the industry ($14.99 MSRP for color and $9.99 MSRP for black).

 This is really neat because I’ve seen some ink cost way too much! Now if you’d like to find out if the tour is coming to your town just go HERE to find out. Also if you would like to stay current with what is going on with the tour, just follow Kodak’s $110 tour on twitter @kodaksave110 also if you want more information on the Kodak printers just check out the Print and Prosper website. Also Staples and Best Buy are offering two great in-store offers (click for bigger size):

Now for the best part, one lucky reader will receive a $110 Visa Gift Card! That’s right and entering is so simple:

*Mandatory Entry*

Just visit the Print and Proser website and tell me what is something you like. The gift card goes along with the $110 tour that I mentioned in the beginning of this post and is able to be used anywhere Visa is accepted. I am sure this would be a great help with the holidays.

Beautiful Door Hanger Giveaway

When I was browsing around Etsy a couple weeks ago I came across a seller that had all these beautiful home decor. I was just blown away with the different styles and designs that twcreations was offering for sale. I knew these beautiful items would make a great giveaway for Creatively Yours.

I was given this beautiful door hanger that read No Boys Allowed, I knew that this would be the perfect addition to my niece’s new 5 year old room. Considering the fact that she now has Owen around more I knew she’d love this and of course she did. She definitely used it to her advantage when ever Owen’s upstairs playing. I’ve already heard Owen tell me he wants one so he can tell her she’s not allowed in here.  I loved that it is very well made, great quality, and definitely durable and kid tough. (though as with anything for the home this is NOT made to be a toy and not intended to be played with) We’ve already had some door slamming and I’ve happy to report that there was not any marks or anything on the door, so that’s a plus.

Now maybe you have no need for a door hanger, well some of my other favorite items from her store would have to be the Personalized Est. Boards, the 16×16 Fan Canvas Piece, and the 12×12 Hand Painted Monogram Boys Canvas. These are just beautiful pieces that would fit well into any house, as well as, being a very appreciated gift for your loved one. Plus with Christmas coming up, the 24×5 Merry Christmas Board would be a perfect addition to any holiday decor you may already have.

Would you like your chance to win a door hanger from TwCreations? It’s really simple. Head over to Tara’s store and tell me what your favorite item is. This is your main entry and must be completed BEFORE any extra entries will be counted.

Are You ready for some FOOTBALL?!

Or what about the NBA & Collegiate sports. Well I just adore football season. I was born a bears fan, you know living about 1 1/2 hrs outside chicago and about 90% of my family are bears fans. I realized quickly I wasn’t suppose to be a bears fan lol and bounced around some teams and then in 2000 my fate was sealed, I was a Pittsburgh Steelers girl, I couldn’t help it the black and gold were calling me into their world (lol). So even though I can’t call off stats and players at the drop of a hat *ahem a dig at my brother lol* I am a full blooded Steelers girl. Of course I was equally excited when we aquired an equally hot quarter back in the NFL Draft, Mr. Ben Roethlisberger.

So when I came across Danielle’s shop on Etsy EllieKatt. I was so excited about this one you have no idea. Now before I move forward, I just have to tell you that Danielle is one of the nicest people I’ve come across in the whole blogging review/giveaway scheme of things. She has great customer service skills and she makes some beautiful items. But just from looking around her store you can get a feel for what kinda person she is. I love that she organized and named her categories the way she did. If labeling them “For Pretty …” doesn’t scream ‘I’m a rad and fun gal’ I don’t know what does.

Now I was given this beautiful Pittsburgh Steelers headband to review. I was so excited when I opened it up I nearly tore the tissue paper to shreds lol. I couldn’t help myself, and I mean really you wouldn’t be able to either lol. This headband is my new favorite piece of head jewelry, and a staple to my limited Steelers attire every sunday/monday. Even my 4 year old loved it, and he’s a very big bears fan. I can not wait for it. Not only is this adorable headband just right for you football fans, it even has just the right amount of sparkle to it. I mean really who says football is just for the boys? I love that the fabric used for the lettering and the backing on them. They really hold well on the headband. Plus like I said, there is glitter involved and I just have a short attention span for glitter lol. Also the little rhinestones on the sides of the headband are the perfect touch to finish these off. I love that the headband stays put when you wear it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve put up a good fight against a headband or two in my days.

Now do you want to be the envy of all your football loving pals? Well one lucky winner is going to win a headband and matching wristband of their choice from Danielle’s etsy store EllieKat. All you have to do is visit her Etsy store and tell me what your favorite thing is. Want extra enteries?

Breast Cancer Awareness Pjs Giveaway!

As we all know Oct is Breast Cancer Awareness month. There is a good chance we all know of someone (somehow) who has/is/was dealing with this disease. I’ve had two family members (my great grandma and grandma) die from forms of cancer. So this is something that I worry about probably a bit more than I should. So before going on with this giveaway, please remember to do all the necessary checks and check ups that us ladies hate to do oh so much. A little discomfort for knowing that things are okay is worth it right?

Well I have been asked to do a giveaway that supports finding a cure for breast cancer research. One winner will receive a pair of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas and chenille sock and another winner will receive a pair of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas. Now for those of you that have not heard of KN before here is a little information:

The KN Karen Neuburger^® lifestyle brand is synonymous with comfort-inspired fashion and home merchandise. The brand’s signature softness and quality can be experienced in heritage sleepwear and loungewear for the whole family, paper goods, crafting and memory products, sportswear and accessories, home collection, furnishings and décor. KN™ and KN Luxury Home™ products can be found in department stores, specialty stores and online at www.karenneuburger.com.  

To help show support for Breast Cancer Awareness, KN Karen Neuburger® is doing a few things with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® to help spread the word even more then it already is. During the rest of October at 300 Dillards stores guests will have a chance to shop for a cause. For every purchase of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas sold at these “Pink Parties,” KN will generously donate 30 minuets of research to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Not only that, but all shoppers will also receive a free gift with the purchase of a pink ribbon key chain. The overall goal of this event is to donate a month of breast cancer research to help aid in the development of live saving treatments and helping in finding the eventual cure for breast cancer. Of course not everyone will be able to attend these ‘parties’, so if you are one of them and would love to donate, KN will also accept donations through their Time for Research Page, which can be found here:
https://support.bcrfcure.org/civicrm/contribute/pcp/info?reset=1&id=53

Now about that giveaway I mentioned. As stated above, there will be two lucky winners. These pajamas are just adorable. They have a beautiful rose pattern on them with the breast cancer ribbon on there as well. Also, the socks are adorable as well and have a ribbon stitched on the cuff of the sock. These products would definitely help keep you warm on those frigid nights, much like what us Midwestern folk are dealing with now…I tell you we must have just flew past winter and now it feels like December. To win it’s real simple, all you have to do is visit www.karenneuburger.com and tell me what you would like to add to your holiday wish list from that site.

Extra Entries, I have them. Just leave a separate comment for each that you do.

Autumn Jewelry Giveaway

 *CLOSED*

Etsy has some amazing designers on there. I spend hours just roaming around looking at all the beautiful pieces. Alicia (Stardust on Etsy) has some beautiful pieces of jewelry that I believe you guys will love. Not only that, but she has generously offered up TWO pieces of jewelry for  2 very lucky Creatively Yours readers.

Now I was sent this beautiful Pumpkin Stacker necklace that I am just in love with for a few reasons. I mean first just look at this, isn’t it beautiful? The other reason is that growing up we all had nicknames from my grandpa & grandma. Well being the Halloween baby that I am, I was given the name Punkin and it’s stuck ever since. I think the only time we were ever called our real name was when we were in trouble, I use to joke that my grandpa wouldn’t even know our names because we’ve only been called by our nickname. So with losing my grandma last year and all, this piece is really special to me just in that respect and because it’s the first pumpkin necklace I own.

What I love about this necklace is the worn look that is given to the pumpkins. I love that they are not ‘perfect’ can show off their imperfections. The antique brass really helps give the worn look to this piece and the fall, almost spooky feel you get just looking at this piece. I really liked that the chain was a brassy color as it pairs really well with the pumpkins. It has this feel that it’s a family piece, even though you may have just bought it yesterday. If you are looking for a simple piece to add to your holiday jewelry, this would be the perfect touch. Also the fun little poem that is included in the description of this piece is just really cute as well:

A harvest moon suffers a black cat’s cry.
Oh’ do the witches fly!
The bonfire catches a pumpkin’s gleam.
Rejoice, it’s Halloween! —Unknown

The next piece is one that she is offering up for a lucky reader here at Creatively Yours. It is these beautiful Pumpkin Garden IV earrings to match this beautiful necklace. These pumpkins have the same worn in look to them that the necklace does. They also include antique brass colored hooks that help play off the fall colors. The specks of green that are on the leaves really pop out against the other colors. It looks as if she picked some perfect little pumpkins from a garden and made earrings from them. Again, these would be the perfect touch to make any outfit a bit festive, or even the perfect finisher to that company party, or even out taking the little ones trick or treating.

Finally we have this beautiful necklace a lucky reader could win as well. Autumn Equinox is a beautiful necklace that is perfect for those not in the Halloween spirit, or just don’t celebrate it. The coloring on it is very rustic and reminds me of the leaves rustling across the driveway on a cool Autumn night. I remember as a kid we use to love to crunch the leaves as we would run around my grandma’s huge driveway.  The way the little leaves hang, just are really pretty and help draw your eyes to the big leaf in the center. A must have for all your Autumn attire needs. This piece would also be beautiful paired with a simple black dress as well. I really believe the ways to wear this piece is endless.

Not only is her jewelry beautiful, but she is really a sweet person as well. I had some troubles with things and she helped me out with them no problem. It’s always nice to shout out great customer service skills, even when it’s for a giveaway because with online shopping, you really just don’t see this very often anymore.

Love these pieces? Well to win it’s simple. Visit Alicia’s Etsy Store and tell me what piece or pieces you love. Also, please don’t list what is listed above. This giveaway will end Saturday Oct 17th at 11:59 cst

Not So Scary Halloween: Live Giveaway

CLOSED

By now you guys know I’m a Halloween baby. I love it except for the fact that I HATE all things blood, guts, gore, and anything that is way to scary. I can’t handle scary movies and when my mom tried to do a horror movie marathon for my birthday one year and yeah didn’t go so well for me lol. So this giveaway is right up my alley. I love to do crafts, though they don’t always turn out quite as planned, and they are not as relaxing as they could be, also as the mother to a 4.5 year old the scary part of Halloween isn’t always that great to deal with.

What I love the most about YouCanMakeThis.com is that there is a DIY project of just about any subject for a crafter of any skill level. Which is perfect for the less than crafter that is myself. I can do awesome stuff with my computer but ask me to use a sewing machine and that’s where we have problems. Yet with YouCanMakeThis.com that doesn’t matter because they give you EVERY single step you’ll need to create something amazing.

One lucky Creatively Yours reader will win an amazing will win an amazing Halloween prize pack consisting of $50 worth of Halloween Downloads including:

Pumpkin Polly Patterns
Paper Piecing Project: Pumpkin Patch Pillow

Frayed Applique: Too Cute to Spook!

After doing these steps, you can post as many times as you’d like as long as it’s on the topic of YouCanMakeThis.com. When we reach 100 comments that is who will be the winner. I want to be able to get your prize to you in time to use them before Halloween comes.

Halloween Lunch Box Notes Giveaway

 *CLOSED*

Who doesn’t love to find little notes tucked into their lunches as children? My mom never did this, but I secretly envied my friends who did. I want to do this for Owen before he gets to big and it embarrasses him (lol). So of course I just had to highlight these cute Halloween Lunch Box Notes from riricreations at Etsy and one lucky reader a chance to win a set just in time for Halloween. But first, I want to share some other homemade Halloween treats you might like that she has to offer.

First are these adorable Halloween Boo Blocks, which were featured on Laura Young’s blog as well as Treasury West They are adorable and great for those that have little hands that like to touch EVERY decoration you put out (we have one of those here though he knows better lol). These adorable blocks are handmade and can be arranged any way you’d like them to. These blocks are cut to a size of 2 1/2” and sanded down by Rita’s husband, and the wood used is the poplar wood. These are also hand decorated using items from various sources listed in the description of these blocks.  I will be picking up a set soon for us as just looking them over my little man can’t stop talking about the ‘big spider’, cat, and his newest obsession, bat. I don’t have a lot of Halloween decorations anymore sadly, but these would be a great addition to what little we do have.

Next for those out there with beautiful princesses there are some beautiful Personalized Princess Fairy Wand with Bling  What better accessory for your princess costume than these fairy wands that were featured in Etsy’s Halloween Gift Guide? Not only are they great for Halloween, but being made of sturdy material, these will be able to see plenty of play dates and dress up days, plus with the star being made of foam, you won’t have to worry about those wacks that may come when she tries out her new spell. Are you having a Princess themed Party? These beautiful wands are also available in sets just for your party needs, and what cute party favors these would be!

As you can see I love Rita’s store, and I think you will too. I love it because I just stink and being crafty with my hands. I’ve always admired anyone that has that kind of creativity, mine is just limited to what I can write or make on this computer. Now before I tell you about the giveaway, I wanted to share the story behind how these lunch box notes started. I find it rather cute and I just had to share with you what she has on her Etsy page about this:

How this got started: All of my lunch box notes were inspired by my friend Al, who left his wife 400 little lunch notes during their 10 years of marriage, before his untimely death…I’m sure he’d want me to keep on spreading love and encouragement, just like he did, so I do!

So to enter the giveaway, just visit Rita’s store and tell me your favorite item that wasn’t listed above. For extra entries please leave a seperate comment for all that you fulfill:

Win a Pair of Halloween Pumpkin Earrings

This was suppose to start yesterday but I haven’t been feeling very good yesterday and also started my fall term of classes so before I knew it the day was over. But lets get the ball rolling I’m excited for this. If you don’t know, this week I’m going to be highlighting some of my favorite Halloween & fall items. Some will be giveaways, some reviews, and others will just be things I’ve seen around, I bought myself, or just what I see around online.

I can’t wait I just love this time of year. So lets get started with this super cute giveaway shall we?

I found myself on Etsy again and this time I was wandering around Cindy (Foreverfun)‘s etsy shop, and she has some really cute Halloween items. The first thing I noticed was this fun Halloween Ghost Wreath. I love the little ghost on it, and the cobwebs and skull on it help get the feeling of Halloween across as well as play off of the ‘Ghost Motel’ sign attached to it. I can see this fitting into any of your Halloween needs, be it on your front door or apart of going all out with your Halloween decorations.

Now this next one takes me back a bit because my grandma use to love creating the different villiage scenes in her big bay window. So when I ran across Cindy’s Halloween Haunted Church and Halloween Haunted House I had to smile since I know she would’ve loved them. I love how bold, bright, and funky the colors of these houses are. They definitely play off of what Halloween is about, having fun. For some spooky houses, these are definitely very fun looking. I love the spiders that are on the front of the haunted house and the bats dangling off the top, and has to be my favorite I think.

Finally these Halloween Ghost Magnets are my son’s personal favorite. He’s all about ghosts, monsters, blood, and anything that scares me half to death. Even if this is the cutest ghost I’ve seen since Casper, Owen thinks it scares me and it’s cute watching him try to be my protector. I know that these are going to be something I’ll have to pick up soon just so he can have the ghost as I don’t see them staying on our fridge long anyhow. I think that black fence sign is adorable myself.

Now I want to show you what Cindy has generously offered up for this contest! One lucky Creatively Yours reader will win this way to cute pair of Halloween Pumpkin Earrings and as usual entering couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is visit Cindy’s Store and tell me what else is your favorite item, and please do not use anything listed in this post, I’d like to know you were actually in the store. Want more entries than please see below:
