***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED*** Thank you to all that entered and thank you so much to all
the wonderful vendors that have participated! Winner will be announced tomorrow morning…so
stay tuned.
Oh yes, you heard right. I’m celebrating some birthdays over here – my youngest is turning 3, and I’m turning 28 (hence the title: “The big 2-8 + 3 giveaway”). So, that means party time for us, and some awesome presents for YOU!!! We have a giveaway going on, and we have some awesome, fantabulous vendors that have donated some awesome prizes. You definitely want to be apart of this giveaway.
My youngest is totally into her birthday this year. She knows that nanny has a long list of things that she is wanting. Me, well, I have a ton of things on my list, but they’re also a tad bit more expensive than Dora, LaLaLoopsey’s, Olivias, etc. Most likely she will get most of everything she has on her lists. Me, I get some stuff now, but some will be coming in May/June. 
So to celebrate, we have some fabulous prizes from some absolutely fabulous vendors. It’s totally easy to enter, so make sure you do all of the required entries, so YOU can score some awesome, and absolutely fantastic prizes. I think you will absolutely love the prizes that we have, so let’s get started.

Meet our wonderful vendors…
This is a fabulous store that does custom labels. I get my return address labels from her every year for numerous occasions (birthdays, Christmas, business). She is awesome to work with, and can pretty much do anything, She is quick and the labels look great!
I absolutely love the ruffle rompers. I have one and am dying to get a newborn girl into it. Chic Baby Rose is donating a beautiful newborn beanie. Winner chooses color.
I have a ton of stuff from this store that’s on my wish list as well. I swear, cute little knitted items are so easy to buy. They’re so cute, soft, and you can totally picture a little baby in them. Such adorable stuff, and the cute little babies totally help sell it even better.
This little critters are an awesome thing to have for your sessions. They grab the attention of little kiddos, and they look at the camera, because they want to see what this little critter is. Fabulous thing to have!
This gal has some uber cute products in her store. LillyAnna kids seems to have everything. She has head gear, she has fruffles (oh so cute), and she even has some cute stuff for the little dudes. OH! Can’t forget she has something for the photog as well. Check out her CF wallets. One of those will be purchased by me very very soon.
I think we all know who this fabulous lady is. She has some fantastic products, and she’s also been releasing a ton of NEW products. You definitely want to go check her out. She has albums, cards, business materials. You want it, you will most likely find it. I think I pretty much have bought her entire store, and have a ton of stuff on my wishlist. Thank goodness for birthday cash! =)
The actions over at My 4 Hens are absolutely dreamy. Sarah is a fabulous photographer, and knows what needs to be put into actions. I own some of her actions and love them. You will have so much fun spending your GC over there, and will have an even better time using the products!
Templates Templates Templates…that is what you will have fun looking at with this gal. She has some fabulous templates, and they’re all so….elegant. She has tons of products for you to “ooo” and “ahhh” over. You will have some fun finding whatever your heart desires. Definitely a talented designer, and as I said already…thank goodness for getting birthday cash. I’ve had my eye on some things for awhile, and am itching to get them.
We have another fabulous designer of knit products. I have bought things from this gal, and I love them. She has the cutest things over at her shop. Absolutely to die for. How can you resist a cute little thing like this….? I have the owl, and a kooky kat. I’m dying to get my hands on a sleepy owl and sock monkey!
Talk about cute cute cute! Kim with TomKat Studio has some fabulously cute printables and party ideas! She was the inspiration behind my youngest daughters birthday party, and I’m using her stuff for my husbands Luau themed grad party. You could literally sit and look at her site for hours. She has ideas for EVERYTHING!
The final prize is being donated by me….
I’m donating a 3×3 Ornament frame by The Organic Bloom! They were already tied up with giveaways at this point, and just b/c I love their frames so much, I decided to donate one. You can pick your frame design, and color. I will order it and have it shipped to you! These don’t come in double or twin double stack. Only single. They are too cute and perfect to put on the Christmas tree, or perfect to put anywhere you choose.
