I Want One!

SILHOUETTE Machine Guest Giveaway!

I'm Sorry.....

I've been so very busy with jury duty, but will get a break from it with the weekend and holidays coming up. I promise to post the winner of the Poster Giveaway tomorrow....PROMISE! I'm so behind on everything....you should see my house! I haven't been able to make things for my Etsy shoppe either, as I had planned......=(. Oh well, you know how it is when duty calls!

Just Got My Winnings! Earrings!

And they came wrapped in a box with a pretty pink bow...all the way from Canada! I won these on a giveaway that Chic 'n Cheap Living hosted.



Aren't they puuurty? These were made with tender loving care by Kim from A Little Bit Of Pretty (etsy shop). And she has FREE wordlwide shipping! So go check out her shop....you're sure to find something you'll fall in love with.

And I got a greeting card with it to boot! She's a sweetheart.
How cute is the card? Right?
Well, just thought I'd share.
Thanks Chic 'n Cheap Living and A Little Bit Of Pretty.

UPrinting Postcards I Actually Won!

So this is the second set of postcards I've received from UPrinting. The first set I got was from hosting a giveaway, and this set here was from me entering on another person's blog. As you can see.....I won!
I needed a simple design (and my Mr. agreed) because these will be used for my RSVP's, but seeing as I don't need 100 RSVP's, I designed them so I could use them for other things. They're basically blank (no wording), which makes them multipurpose!
My plan is to make a sticker with the RSVP wording printed on it and place it on the left. That way, all our guests have to do is check off the appropriate box and throw it in the mail.
The following pics are the designs I sent in to Uprinting.
This picture of us (just the black/white pic) is the pic that is on our invites, so it will match great with our RSVP's.
And if you look closely at our unity candle, you'll see this dandelion on it too.

I'm hosting yet ANOTHER postcard giveaway from UPrinting! I have absolutely NO idea what I will do with the postcards I get from there. I didn't host it to get more, but more to give you...my readers....another opportunity to get some for yourself.
So good luck if you enter! Deadline to enter is Saturday, Jan. 23rd.

Aren't They Adorable?

Awhile back...in December to be exact....I won a giveaway for a dozen cupcake toppers from Graceful Correspondence. The giveaway was hosted by Ashley, from Bride on a Budget.

There was some sort of misunderstanding as far as correspondence from the winner (me) so it took awhile to get the ball rolling. But this is them! Aren't they great? I haven't actually received them yet, but they're on their way! I can't wait. They came out so very cute.
I told her my colors, she designed and sent me proofs, and the next morning they got sent out! Lightning fast!
I will be using these at my "sweets" table. fun, fun, fun

Be sure to become a fan of Graceful Correspondence Totally Custom Paperie on Facebook for a chance to win on her Sunday Giveaways!!!!

I did....so let's see if I can score on some more of this beautifully fun paperie!!

My UPrinting Postcards Have Arrived!

And I am very happy with them. Now, I designed these postcards to not be actual postcards, but instead more of favors for our guests.
On the front of the postcard is a picture of us, and a thank you for being able to join us.
On the back is a bit of a timeline of our relationship. So you see, if you get creative, you can do all sorts of things with these. The above are pics of the actual postcards received, and below............
.....are the designs I sent in to UPrinting. I only posted these in case you couldn't really see or read the ones of the pics I took. I think they came out great, and I'm very happy with them.
So there they are.....awesome Uprinting postcards I received for hosting a giveaway. Thank you UPrinting! You're the best!
And guess what!!?? I'll be having another giveaway for postcards from Uprinting starting this weekend! So keep an eye out, and use that imagination of yours to come up with some creative ideas on how you could use these.

I Can't Wait Til They Get Here!

The sticker design has been sent in and approved, and now all I have to do is wait for their arrival.
Thanks so much to Brittney from Sand Dollars & Sunflowers for having her giveaway for 250 labels from UPrinting!
I will be using these for my sweets buffet bags. And since there are so many, I may use a few for the outside envelopes of the invites....if they don't look too big on the envelopes, that is. I ordered 3 x 3 stickers, so we'll see.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Oh...I can't wait to see them.

Giveaway! 50 Thank You Cards WITH Envelopes!

Yes....these come with envelopes! Mine didn't come with envelopes...maybe because I got 250! But that's ok....I know where to get the perfect size envelopes for dirt cheap! In fact, I have a bunch of them already that came in a bag full from a nearby thrift store.
Well, there's only a few more days left to enter. Katerina from Girl With A Ring is hosting this one....her FIRST giveaway! November 15th is the deadline. So hurry on over to Girl With A Ring and enter!

250 UPrinting Cards Have Arrived!

So here they are. My winnings from the UPrinting giveaway. They arrived late afternoon yesterday. I heard the sound of the UPS truck parking in front of my house, then the thud of a heavy box hitting the concrete on my porch. It's them...I just know it's them. I rushed over to the door and quickly pulled the box in. Oh....I hope they came out ok.
So.....much different than the #2 card that won in the voting, but I think I like these. This being the front of the card.....
and this being the back. Yes....I think these will work out just fine. I didn't have the words "thank you" printed on them because I knew there was no way I'd be using 250 thank you's....probably not even in my lifetime! So I made them more generic-y. I told the Mr., "Yeah, we'll just get a bunch of different stickers and put them on....bunnies (Happy Easter), hearts (Happy Valentine's) and so on and so forth. Our family can get the same card delivered to them for every occasion! lol I know you know I'm kidding, right???
Well, anyways....thank you UPrinting and Bride On A Budget!

A Secret Giveaway!

I don't know what it's for, but I for one don't really care! Behind door #1, 2, 3 or 4! I'll take whatever you got! lol
So head on over to Ramirez Family and enter to win the big ????

Girl With A Ring UPrinting Poster Giveaway

Girl With A Ring is hosting a giveaway for an 18" x 24" Poster from UPrinting. Go to her site for details. Last day to enter is Sunday, November 15th.

Please Help With Your Vote...............

I would really appreciate you helping me by voting in my poll for these cards that I designed. I just want to get an idea on what you all think. I would very much appreciate no negative comments, so if you don't really like any of them, at least please vote on the one you dislike the least. ;)
These designs are for the 250 greeting cards I won from UPrinting. I was going to make them thank you cards, but I won't be needing 250 thank you cards, so I made them generic so that I could use them for thank you cards and for whatever else ailes us.
Thanks for the help! =)

(I think if you click on the pic, you can see it larger)
THANKS EVERYONE , FOR VOTING. IT LOOKS LIKE #2 IT IS!

I Can't Believe I Won The UPrinting Contest!

So yeah....I'm in total shock and disbelief. Me? Lil ol' me?
And then there's deciding exactly what I want to do with these cards. Hmmmm.....

Well, thanks Bride On A Budget and UPrinting!
