Winner!

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.)

Tiny Prints | A giveaway

November 30th, 2010

holiday-card-1

I am in love with Tiny Prints. Their service, their product, the quality, the designers, the nice clean website and their super cute logo are all among the best I have ever seen.

So, when Tiny Prints approached me about doing a review of their Holiday cards, it didn’t take me long to say “yes.” In fact, I probably screamed and jumped up and down in excitement. And when I told Brian, he screamed and jumped up and down, too, because he loves free stuff. (and Tiny Prints.)

I went to their website to choose the cards of my dreams and I found so many that I couldn’t even make a decision.

holiday-card

Talk about a good problem to have.

I’m convinced they have a card for everyone – contemporary, vintage, whimsy; whatever your style, no doubt, they’ll have what you’re looking for – believe me, I’ve shopped while in many different moods and every time I thought “THIS IS IT, THIS IS OUR CARD.”

holiday-card-2

And the next day, I’d search again and find something new.

But I found it, THE CARD. I found it last night and I’m not going to show you because part of the fun Holiday cards is receiving it, right? But I’ll show you, soon.

In the meantime, I have 50 Holiday cards to give away to one lucky winner! Any card, it’s the winner’s choice! (how friendly is this giveaway?!)

What do you need to do to be entered?

First, head on over to Tiny Prints and check out their selection. Tell me which card you would love to send out. (I’ll pretend you sent it to me, k?) But don’t worry, if you win you can pick any Holiday card, no matter which one you told me about.

Second, do not say “pick me.”

Third, you can share the exciting details about this giveaway on your Facebook page, blog or your twitter account and leave the link in the comments! (up to four entries per person, please leave your links in separate comments in order for your entries to count.)

This giveaways ends tomorrow night (December 1) at 10:00pm CST. So, get busy! (open to US and Canada)

Good luck, friends. And thanks, Tiny Prints!

(I was not paid to do this review but was given free Holiday cards. Which is just as awesome.)

(some comments are under moderation, if you do not see your comment pop up right away, it will, I promise!)

Picture the Holidays | A giveaway

November 29th, 2010

This giveaway is closed.

eclass

The winner is Amy! Congrats, Amy.

And special thanks to Tracey!

This morning, as we pulled out of our driveway to head to school, the kids counted down to Christmas, wondered what we should do for Daddy’s Birthday (today!), talked about snow and commented on the Christmas music playing on the radio.

Noah, my six year old, leaned his head back on the seat and said “man, life is so awesome.”

I love that he realizes this because as adults, it’s so hard to take the time to honor life and all of the gifts it has to offer us, which is why I’m so excited about this giveaway.

You’ve probably heard of Tracey Clark, if not, here’s your formal introduction.

Friends, this is Tracey Clark, photographer extradordinaire.

Tracey Clark, meet my friends. (the friendliest faces on the internet, I do believe.)

Tracey has created a photography workshop titled “Picture the Holidays – 30 days of festive photography.”

In her words:

tracey-clark-1

I am beyond excited to be starting this e-class on December 1st but I’m doubly excited to be able to give one of you the opportunity to join in on this amazing opportunity to try to soak in the holiday goodness while honing in on your photography skills.

The class runs from December 1 – 31st. For more information about Tracey and her e-class, click here. Tracey has offered numerous e-classes in the past and has received rave reviews from her alumni. I honestly can not wait to begin. Who will be joining me?

(and if this all wasn’t awesome enough, One lucky student will be randomly selected to win a coveted Epiphanie Camera Bag! I’m pretty sure I’ll be the winner, so don’t get too excited.)

What does one need to do in order to enter?

First, you need a camera, any camera will work!

Second, I need you to tell me what you do to treat yourself during the holidays. Is it a night out with friends sharing cookies & laughter? Dinner with your husband after shopping? Sitting by the tree sipping tea after the kids are in bed…spill it. I want to know!

Third, do not say “pick me.”

Fourth, share the exciting details about this giveaway on your Facebook page, blog or your twitter account and leave the link in the comments!

This giveaways ends tomorrow night (November 30th) at 10:00pm CST. So, get busy!
