Loves.

I recently won a giveaway for a product from Gussy. I love Gussy and all of the gorgeous items she sells--have you checked out her shop yet? Everything is gorgeous. I'm pretty sure I would like one of each item. Go check her out--I have a feeling you're going to love her. Here is what I picked out:

Loves.

 The next item is something I recently bought. I've been wanting one for awhile--as a girl who loves big purses and as someone who can never find my keys? This was right up my alley. I haven't found any  that just scream out "buy me!" until now. I introduce you to Sew Much Detail. She is amazing--and super sweet. I was so happy with my choice. This is the keylette that I bought:

Loves.

I just had to share these items with you all! They're both perfect shops for gifts--I think they would be a great gift to give on holidays, birthdays, baby showers or a just because gift! Happy shopping--and let me know if you decide to buy anything--I would love to check out what you got.

Lil' Miss Crafty Pants {A Winey Mommy Giveaway}

Last week I did a post of a few of my favorite Etsy products.

And this week?

I am giving one lucky reader one of them!

*squeal* 

Meet my new favorite blogger/crafty/wahm, Shawna. Her shop is lil' miss crafty pants--and can I just say I am in love with everything she makes?

From these love letters:

 

to these wooden letters made to order:

to these to-die-for stars:

Isn't she amazing? I think I want one of everything in her shop--I truly love it all! And Shawna is a total sweetheart! Every time I talk with her on e-mail she makes me smile. She's honestly the type of person I strive to be everyday. I adore her and her craftiness!

I want to tell you a little about lil' miss crafty pants and then I'll show y'all what she is giving one of my readers!

Is there anything that you would like my readers to know about you/your shop? i'm a wahm. i have my etsy shop and a family photography business in san diego. i've loved to make things since i was a little girl. of my 3 kids, two are very crafty as well.  :) i have a blog and am in the process of moving into a website. right now i'm living at both addresses, so to speak. my blog is www.shawnaparks.typepad.com my new website is www.shawnaparks.com.

What is your inspiration? well, i started making my stars & letters as gifts and for friends for about 8 years ago. i hadn't really done either in  a couple of years. i was going through a rough patch personally in the early fall of '09 and went to my crafts as a way to bring a little peace back into my life. i can make the stars or letters in short amount of time and the repetitiveness is really pretty calming. and you get the satisfaction of making something pretty that makes someone else happy. a friend had encouraged me to "open" an etsy shop, and so lil miss crafty pants was born.

Wow, are you all in for a treat!

I recently got the honor to host a giveaway for something amazing, something we ALL need and something we can all use. And with the holidays quickly approaching, this is a GREAT gift (or you can keep it for yourself, too).

I want you all to meet Rebecca from Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen:

"I started making soaps because commercials soaps were drying out my skin and occasionally causing breakouts. All of my soaps are handmade by me from scratch using the cold process soapmaking method. My yummy scented soaps contain skin loving ingredients like shea butter, rice bran, coconut, and olive oils, and create a wonderfully, rich lather you can even shave with! You'll love the difference my soaps make on your skin. And they last longer than commercial bars, too!"

Sounds wonderful, right?

Well, it gets EVEN better!

She has been oh so kind to offer Holiday Soap Collection. One bar each of: Pumpkin Pie soap, Spiced Cranberry Soap, Orange and Cinnamon Soap, French Vanilla Pear Soap, and Lavender and Pine soap to ONE lucky reader!

You may be asking yourself, what do I have to do to win this wonderful prize?

To enter go take a look around her Etsy shop here and take a look around. Come back here and leave me a comment on something that you like (besides the holiday collection).

She also has a blog which is great! She has giveways, recipes and showcases other handmade goodies.

Make sure that I have a way to contact you. Whether you leave your e-mail in your comment or have a blog. You don't need to have a blog to enter! Just as long as there is some way to contact you left in your comment.

And if you want an extra entry? Sign up to follow me and come back here and comment again--then you will have two chances to win this fab prize!

This giveaway will end on Thursday November 6th @ 11pm CST. From there a winner will be picked and contacted on Friday. You must live in the US or Canada and be 18 or up.

Good luck to all of you!
