Oceanside Designs personalized ornament giveaway!

I love holiday shopping.  I love deals and I love buying gifts for people (and myself).  What I love more is shopping for the holidays on my couch.  Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop for anytime, and Oceanside Designs is the perfect place to shop for everyone on your holiday list!

Check out this ADORABLE shop...

I love Etsy.  Love it.  I could spend all day on there; in fact, sometimes I do.  They have something for everyone.  Yet I don't think I've loved an item more than this one:

Dogs Incorporated is a newcomer, and one of my favorite shops ever on Etsy.  Their  custom dog breed art prints celebrate and join our faithful friends with our favorite things in life. Whether you are a pro in the kitchen, love the outdoors or an avid music fan, their designs will suit just what you love. With so many custom dog print collections to choose from, we're sure you'll find just the right print to place in your home.   Of course our print looks just like our little guy Lenny:

And it is going to look amazing in Jack's new big boy room.  

They have so many cute prints, you will have a hard time choosing!  These are just some of my favs:

Pug Print

Chihuahua Coffee Print

Chocolate Lab Canoe Company

There are so many other great prints; all my dog lovers are going to be getting gifts from here.

Be sure to check them out on Etsy, and on their Facebook Page and thank you to Dogs Incorporated for the print for our Lenny!

Shabby Apple is one of those shops that I just can't get enough of.  I love EVERY SINGLE THING in there. Ever since I found their shop, I find myself browsing almost daily!

Happy Birthday to me, and an AMAZING giveaway for you!

Yes, it's my birthday.  Woo hoo!  Actually I have to say, this is the first time I was dreading a birthday.  This is the first year the numbers are really starting to bother me.  But there is no stopping it, so to celebrate, Jack and I went downtown for a sleepover at my sisters house.  We ate and shopped and ate some more.  Pictures of that are in the works.  In the mean time, I'll entertain you with a PG-13 picture of me.

I also want to share with you something I got in the mail today from Crayola and MyBlogSpark! I LOVE IT!

 

And since Jack is OBSESSED with Cars, I know he will love it too! And with the holidays coming, this is the perfect gift for any little (or bigger) one!

Remember how cool it was to receive the Crayola 64 Box with the built-in sharper as a holiday gift when you were growing up? Just imagine how excited your kids will be to turn an iPad into an interactive coloring book using burnt sienna, carnation pink and a rainbow of Crayola colors from the Crayola digital 64 Box! The Crayola ColorStudio HD app and iMarker let kids’ imaginations run wild as they color moving, animated scenes that come alive with music, sound effects and hidden surprises. The app is free on iTunes App Store with the purchase of the iMarker for $29.99 at Toys R Us, Best Buy, the Apple Store andwww.griffintechnology.com. Kids can select from 64 colors in the digital Crayola 64 Box and then use the iMarker to create the look of Crayola crayons, markers, paints and colored pencils as the stylus interacts with an iPad. The digital coloring pages respond with movement and sound as the pages come alive as kids color. Animated images stop moving on the screen so kids can easily color them in without going outside of the lines, so objects look picture perfect when they start moving again. Tidy up your page with an eraser function or an “undo” arrow that removes larger areas of color. In addition, kids can save their work in a gallery to be emailed, printed or uploaded to Facebook (mom’s account, and with her permission and help of course!), and also free draw, play interactive games and create their own customized coloring pages they can print and color off-line. The best part is one of my wonderful readers will win the following:  (1) Crayola Story Studio Comic Maker: Spider-Man (1) Crayola Story Studio Fairy Tale Maker: Disney Princesses (1) Crayola Story Studio Adventure Maker: Disney/Pixar Cars (1) Crayola iMarker to use with the ColorStudio HD app for iPad (1) Free download of the ColorStudio HD app This is a $60 value!!!! “Disclosure: The Crayola High Tech Holiday prize pack, product information and prize pack for giveaway have been provided by Crayola through MyBlogSpark.” {{to win}} enter below and please, tell your friends!

Goodbyn Lunchbox Giveaway!!!!!

I am finally starting to get back into the swing of things at work.   One thing I always struggle with is getting my lunch ready ahead of time.  This year I have a great new way to organize my lunch and make it look extra cool. 

Please welcome Goodbyn:

On top of being bpa and lead free and made in the USA with recycled materials, this is a super fun lunch box that will also save you money as there is no need for all those extra baggies and plastic wrap (which also means you are saving the environment... bonus!!!!!).

Most of the lunch boxes come wtih  a matching 8oz water bottle and hundreds of stickers for your kids to get creative, decorate, and make their lunch box extra special.   This is mine:

There are plenty of different sized compartments for all kinds of different snacks and lunch items (and only 1 lid – so no need to spend time searching for lids in the morning).  I am able to fit my fruit, pb & j, chips, and dessert all in one easy to carry container.  And I am the ENVY of the staff at my school.

I also have a bynto for Jack to tote his snacks when we go for a day out, or just out to dinner, he loved putting his stickers on it and even named it Thomas!  As you can see, lots of room for lots of different things.

Goodbyn even sent me some of their amazing ice packs.  The packs fit into the lunchboxes, are recyclable and made with purified water!  Now I don't even need to worry about my lunch going cold...Goodbyn thought of EVERYTHING!

The best thing they thought of, in my opinion is to give away their Strawberry Goodbyn Byntos to 2 my reader!  These have 3 compartments, an 8 oz water bottle and 100's of stickers.  They will be perfect for you or for your little one to tote to school!

Beautifully Elegant Braided Bracelet Giveaway!

I love jewlery.  To me it is the best way to change any outfit.  You can make an outfit say so much more labout you with a little jewelry.  So when I cam across Nataly's shop Beautifully Elegant, I was in love.  Lucky for me,(and you all) Nataly wanted to have a giveaway for my readers.  I asked Nataly to tell me a little bit about her and how her shop came to be, and isn't she the cutest???  Enjoy!

My name is Nataly. I am a 20-something living in the great state of Texas. I have lived here my whole life. I love it here...even though it gets unbareably hot at times. I think the high yesterday was 110-- too hot! I work in customer service at a small oil & grease company. I am also a jewelry designer, blogger, vintage lover and owl collector.

A little about my shop, Beautifully Elegant: My passion for making jewelry started back in 2006 when I was in college at the University of North Texas. After, taking a jewelry making class my first year in college, I fell in love. I loved being able to create whatever I wanted and quickly realized it was what I wanted to do for a living. Beautifully Elegant didn't come along until a few years later-- thanks in large part to my wonderful boyfriend. Beautifully Elegant start just recently in April 2011. Beautifully Elegant's main focus is unique one-of-a-kind pieces. My etsy boutique currently is selling handmade//vintage accessories inspired by nature and the desire to complete the perfect outfit. I am constantly on the hunt for new ideas and inspiration. I am always brainstorming and sketching. I am happy to talk to new people and find other friends that have the same passion for creativity as I do. I am really interested in DIY projects, baking, and jewelry making! 
4 random facts about me:
* I love gummie bears
* I would rather not wear shoes- to me they are useless (bearfoot is the way to go)
* I live in a tiny apartment with way too much stuff
* I love organizing and making lists

Nataly is graciously giving one of my readers this braided leather bracelet!
