CLOSED: Forever Framed Gifts

 We have a winner!


Congratulations to entry #6, Mandi Wiebe!  And thanks to all who participated, you're going to LOVE your custom tiles!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh WOW, I have the MOST AWESOME shop to share with you all today!  I recently had the absolute pleasure to review custom made coasters and wood blocks from Claycomb Photography & Forever Framed that were made just for me using photos of my family that I had sent in. 


Aren't they amazing?!  The quality and craftsmanship is OUTSTANDING!  And Trina was so accommodating, she put hangers on the backs of the wooden blocks for me and they are now hanging as a beautiful collage on my wall!  What a gal!  Wanna know more about Trina Claycomb, the owner and designer behind Forever Framed?  Well here you go:

Claycomb Photography & Forever Framed is owned and oh so creatively operated by Trina Claycomb:

"Hello!  My name is Trina.
About me?  Really? It’s hard for me to talk about myself but it is really important to know who your photographer is, so as difficult as it may be… for some of us, it is a must!  ^_~
I am a very passionate person, that much I know.  I never do things “half way” or “kind of”.  I love people, I love animals and I am in LOVE with photographs and everything that goes with it.  I love creating memories, documenting life and creating images that people fall in love with.  My home is full of photographs and I update them a couple times a year. 
I also have a gift shop and I create Custom Photo & Inspirational Coasters, Blocks and wooden boxes.
It’s pretty safe to say I am in love with being in love! What I love most of all on this earth is my family.  I am incandescently in love with my wonderful husband of 10 years and we have two beautiful boys that are the center of our world.  I also love my job.  It has been said that when you love your job you never work a day in your life.  That couldn’t be truer for me.  I love what I do... I adore the people I meet and creating that “pause in time” with the photographs I design with my clients.  I have a passion for weddings and have been known to shed a tear or two behind my lens at almost every one of them… What can I say I am a hopeless romantic!
I enjoy spending time with my sisters, brothers and parents, soy peppermint white mochas, my black & white Havanese puppy named Hurley, the laughter of children, fall colored trees that seem to go for miles, the movie “Pride & Prejudice”, stay-at-home mom and dad businesses, Etsy.com, San Diego, converse shoes, wonderful friends that love to eat, play games and talk for hours, Carmel California and I love coffee! ^_^
I strive to be a Loving wife, an Understanding mother, a Good friend and give More than I Get in life.
“There is More Happiness in Giving than there is in Receiving”

How awesome is she?  And it really shows in her creativity!  Take a look at some of the other goodies she makes 'cause she's so generously giving away a custom made set of coasters to one of our lucky fans!

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 :)
