Has It Really Been 25 Years?!

CLOSED - Product Review and Giveaway: The Purple Chameleon

WE HAVE A WINNER!  Congrats to Angie Alford, lucky entry #35!!

Angie, I'll be emailing you in a bit with the good news!  Thanks to ALL who participated, be sure to get your entries in for the Bad Sass Backdrops giveaway below!

Oh WOW, I have the cutest shop to share with you all today!  While shopping online one day I came across The Purple Chameleon and was thrilled!  You see, I'm a sucker for pretties for my hair and OMG do they have some adorable headbands!  I was instantly hooked!!

The Purple Chameleon is owned and oh so creatively operated by Christina, you can read more about her here:

"I am a SAHM/WAHM mom who loves to create!

From the time I was little I loved to strip telephone wire I found in the telephone company's dumpster and twist it into bangles, bracelets and earrings. I would arrange and rearrange for hours the little bits of wood that were left over from my Dad's latest project, making them into a kind of puzzle. (Now, I do that with my groceries at the checkout. What? It takes less bags!!) As I got older I loved putting different clothes and accessories together- my sister tells me- "You know how many times I had to explain to people WHY you were wearing what you were wearing??! You see that tiny red part of her african mask earring? Yes. Well, that's why she's got on those red knee highs." Haha! It's true! I like things that are different. And yeah, sometimes strange! ;)

.... Cue The Purple Chameleon!

It is a good feeling to be able to do something you enjoy and help your family at the same time. And as long as my girls don't mutiny on me from being told too many times "Come here- I need your head!" haha! I'll keep going...

A friend said to me, "Heaven forbid anything should happen to you, but if it does- are you going to have them bury you with a flower in your hair?" Absolutely!!!!"

I'm so excited because Christina is giving away the absolutely GORGEOUS headband below to one of my lucky readers!   Isn't it beautiful?!  AND she's offering a special 20% off coupon code for everyone also, how awesome is that?  Want more details on how to use the special code and how to enter the giveaway?  Check below the pic for more details :)

CLOSED Product Review and Giveaway: Whimsy Wildflower

Congratulations to lucky #5, Lisa Sturgis, chosen by Random.org!  Thanks to everyone for participating!

Happy Sunday!  It's time to announce another giveaway and this one is courtesy of the ever so sweet Amanda of Whimsy Wildflower :)  Amanda has graciously donated two adorable pieces from her shop as well as a $10 gift certificate (information about these items and how to enter is below) AND a 20% discount code to use during the giveaway, how awesome is that?  If you haven't had a chance to meet Amanda or visit her shop, here's a bit about her:

"My name is Amanda. I am a SAHM.  My husband and my girls are my world!  I have recently found inspiration for many fun things.  I would have never imagined that sewing and crafts would become my favorite hobby.  We never know what we are capable of doing until we find inspiration and push ourselves to do things we never thought possible.  Who knew I could sew or paint or use my imagination???  Not me! =)  My girls are definitely my inspiration and my God is the one who makes it all happen!  So here are some of my fun, funky, whimsy creations!  If you are not looking for perfection, but you are looking for creativity with lots of TLC you have come to the right place.  I love using lots of color, texture, layers, and tons of different fabrics and materials.  Some of my materials are bought new, but I also combine them with materials I find around my house.  I love to upcycle and see new things created from other things that were no longer needed. I hope you enjoy my creations!"


Isn't she great?  A true artist, I just love her sense of style and creativity!  And YOU have the chance to win these two wonderful creations AND a $10 gift certificate to her shop!

Product Review and Giveaway: Celeste and Company

And our lucky winner is....

#13 - Kasandra Jenne Photography!!

I am so excited to share another great company with you!  Meet Stephanie, the creative force behind Celeste & Company Boutique!  Stephanie recently shared one of her adorable newborn Shabby Chic Rose headbands with me and I am in awe of the craftsmanship!  It's just so adorable!  And guess what?  She wants to give one of her awesome headbands FREE to one of my lucky readers!  Read on for details….

She has two little girls.....Celeste and Charlotte.  Her boutique, Celeste & Company, was started in January 2009 when she found out she was expecting another little girl. She named her business Celeste & Co. because Celeste was now going to have "company" in the way of a little sister (how adorable is that?) Nothing gave her greater joy than finding a cute little clip to put in Celeste's hair. Tired of paying the high prices in boutiques she decided to make her own. Once she found out she was expecting another little girl, she decided to expand the business, offering her current line as well as newly inspired itty bitty baby bows and snap clips to other mothers who love completing an outfit with something special in their little girl's hair :) She has now expanded from clips to headbands and beanies and hopes you will find something you just adore for your precious little one!
