The Vintage Pearl | Winners announced!

April 23rd, 2013

I am so excited to announce the winners to The Vintage Pearl giveaway. I loooved so many of your selections. First, I wanted to share with you my choice. Erin asked me to choose any piece and, as you can imagine, it was not an easy choice, however, I knew I wanted a new ring so once I saw this, I just knew.

When it arrived and fit so perfectly, my heart felt so very happy. It’s amazing how a simple piece of jewelry can feel so good in your heart…

Except, it’s more than that. When you can personalize something, the power it holds is truly unbelievable. It really is the perfect gift.

Now onto the lucky winners:

Congratulations! The winners have been contacted and should check your email!

Thanks again to The Vintage Pearl for a sweet giveaway.

Happy Mother’s Day!

You can see why I’m so smitten by it.

December 7th, 2011

Hi all.

Sorry I’m so late announcing the winner from Geezee’s Custom Canvas but it’s been that type of week.

I received my print and I absolutely love it. Right now it’s sitting on a shelf in the office but I think I’m going to hang it in my bedroom. I just love it so much.

Anyway, before I announce the winner, I wanted to let you guys go that you have until December 8th at midnight in order to be guaranteed delivery by December 23rd. After that, it’s first come, first serve and rush fees apply.

The winner is Susan (gmail address) #51! Congratulations, Susan! (check your email!)

Thanks for playing, friends! And thanks, Stephanie for the fun giveaway!

A giveaway from Vicks!

June 6th, 2011

Hi friends,

Once again, I’m back talking about Vicks. Vicks approached me a few months ago about writing about VapoRub and how we use it in our day to day lives. Typically I turn these types of offers down, however, this products fits into our lives so perfectly and so often that it seemed silly to not only turn it down but to not share with you more info about Vicks.

First, I have to tell you that I have heard from so many of you about my recommendation to use Vicks on your kids’ legs when their little legs hurt in the middle of the night. I’m telling you, it works! (and did you know it’s now also available in lemon scent?) (although, it’s still very much smells like Vicks, there is a nice subtle lemon scent to it.)

I’m excited to be able to do a giveaway today courtesy of Vicks, it’s an easy one!

One lucky winner will receive DayQuil, NyQuil and VapoRub and your choice of one of the following products:

(a germ-free humidifer, a comfort-flex thermometer or VapoDrops (Vicks cough drop line)

What do you have to do? Head on over to the Vicks Facebook page and like em’. That’s it! Come back here and tell me you’re a fan! Already a fan? Tell me how you use VapoRub or what your favorite Vicks product is.

This giveaway is open to US and Canada and will remain open until Wednesday, June 8th at 9pm CST. Winner will be chosen randomly so please do not say “pick me” in the comments!

Thank you for entering and thanks to Vicks! GOOD LUCK!

In the news (plus a giveaway!)

May 16th, 2011

Updated (GIVEAWAY CLOSED): The winner of the print from June Afternoons is Nikole! Congratulations!

Well, I guess when I say “news” I don’t actually mean CNN, I just mean, “In my head.”

I wanted to come here and talk to you guys about the point of my pregnancy I’m in but time is not allowing me to do that right now. But I did want to stop in and tell you a few other important things.

First:

If you live in Northwest Indiana (or the surrounding area, of course) I am hosting Father’s Day Mini Sessions on June 4th. The idea is that I’m taking Mom (You!) from behind the camera and photographing you with your kids as a special gift to your husband for Father’s Day.

I am only scheduling six 30 minute sessions, only four remain. Also, I updated the design of my BFP blog, so head over and check it out. It looks extra pretty!

Second:

Remember my cute photography project June Afternoons? Well, since we’ve met and exceeded our goal for Team James and Jake, I’ve decided to begin donating to the victims of the floods and tornadoes that have affected so many in the United States this spring. If you head over, you’ll see that all proceeds from the sales from this shop go directly to just that. I believe I have found an organization where I can purchase baby food, diapers, canned goods, etc and ship directly to this organization and they will distribute, as needed. (still investigating) Any remaining funds will be donated to the American Red Cross. Please keep in mind that I do not receive any profit from this project, it’s something I’m doing so I can help. (for the March of Dimes, I was able to donate over $700 from this shop. This after the cost of listing, shipping, supplies and printing.)

Also, I just listed these postcards. I have two sets, in stock, ready to ship. Last time I had a set, I posted them on twitter and they sold in four minutes. So, I’m sharing with all of you first. (because you’re my favorites)

And finally, I’ve decided to give away a print from June Afternoons.

This print is an 8×10, a beautiful photo taken by THE Lisa Leonard. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Just head over to the shop and tell me, in the comments of this post, which print is your favorite. That’s it! I’ll choose the winner, randomly, tomorrow evening. Comments close on Tuesday, May 17th and the print will ship on Wednesday!

Tweeting or Facebooking about this giveway will earn you extra entries! Just leave the link in a separate comment, in order for that entry to count!

Good luck and happy browsing!

(please don’t say “pick me,” saying that will earn you a time out.)
