100 Followers Giveaway!

Thanks for everyone who voted in my poll for the giveaway prize!  If you've looked lately, you can see that the ruffle headband won by a landslide.  I was a little surprised see as that was only thing I hadn't made before so you had no idea how it would look.  I guess that's a good thing.  It means you have faith in me that I can make a good one, right?! 

Ok, so I picked out some pretty fabric and started playing around with sizes and ruffle techniques.  Then I used my lovely sewing machine and came out with these 2 different headbands.




So there you have it. The purple striped pleated ruffle and pink and brown ruffle headbands.  
Do you like?

Hope so.

'Cause that's what you can win in this giveaway.
Yep, BOTH of them!


Let me a take a moment to be all sentimental and say thanks so much for reading, following, and commenting on my lil' blog.  It means so much to me!  I love my readers and I'm so excited to have this giveaway to say thank you.   

So thanks friends!  

And oh yeah, the pink and brown ruffle piece is interchangeable.  Meaning it slides on and off so you can adjust it exactly where you want it to sit on your pretty head.  It also means you can make some more cute headband pieces to slide on if you want.  Fun!  The backing is felt which helps make it stay where you place it.  It won't slide around on your head.  I didn't do the purple one that way because I made it first and hadn't thought to do that yet. 

Now for the fun, wanna win them?! 
Yes?
Good.

OPTIONAL for extra chances you can-

3.  Comment and tell me something funny, random, or interesting about you!  {I'd love to get know you better so we can be bffs!}
Good luck!

And here is my first ever guest poster on my blog, Megan!  I'm so excited she's here today!  She is such a sweet person and I just love her.  I wish we lived close so we could real bffs AND bloggy bffs.  Plus her blog is just so great.  Alright, take it away Megan!

 

Heyy Yall!


Yupp.. you heard that right, I'm VERY southern!

I’ve lived in Millbrook, Alabama all my life, and I love my southern lifestyle!









I surely enjoy blogging, crafting and making jewelry.
I’m currently working on some headbands for flower girls & bridesmaids and have several rosette necklace orders as well! I enjoy making custom jewelry of all shapes, sizes, and colors! Here are a few examples of things I’ve made!











I also enjoy crafting and re-purposing things. Most of the time I buy things at yard sales or thrift stores and repaint them or repurpose them. I enjoy buying gently used clothing at yard sales. I mean, c’mon… It’s the best way to go! $1.00 for designer clothes? Yes please!!!


This one time, I got to guest post over at Vintage Wanna Bee….
This other time, I got to guest post over at House of Sorensens...


Life’s not always butterflies and chocolate milk, though. I get down in the dumps. Sometimes I have a sad-face cloud over my head. I’m not afraid to share that with my readers. I feel alone sometimes… I told my readers about it here.

My latest revelation over at The Mrs. is my linky party. I host an iBelieve link party where folks can share what they believe. Whatever that may be. I personally, choose to follow Christ, and I love sharing how He works in my life through these parties. Recently I shared a little blurb about prayer. Come join the party and share what YOU believe!

I am a newlywed as well. Over at my place I share stories I call “Confessions of a Newlywed.” Here I discuss my love for my husbands feet, his loofa, how much I love him…. And much more!


C’mon over and check out the fun happening at The Mrs! I host giveaways all the time, and am connected with a really great circle of bloggy bffs. Come on over at meet them, too!
