Hope y'all have a lovely rest of your weekend!!

Digital Scrapbooking GIVEAWAY!

The lovely people at My Memories recently contacted me to review their digital scrapbooking software.  With it, you are able to create scrapbook layouts, photo books, cards, videos...all sorts of neat things.  I had just started working on a photo book for Natalie's first year so this software came at the perfect time.

I was able to download it right to my computer in just minutes.  Although I was a little intimidated by all of the choices I had at first, I do think the software is very user friendly.  I used one of their templates and whipped up this little keepsake of my sweetie in no time.  I was able to add photos, text, and other embellishments to the pages.  Instead of doing just a scrapbook, I decided to go ahead and make it into a video and add Natalie's favorite tune at the moment.  This song is on repeat at our house as it's the only way I can get her to eat her vegetables...funny...seeing as it's a song about fruit.  So, what do you think?

Likey??  Well y'all are in luck!  I'm giving away a copy of this software FOR FREE!  It's $40 on their website so this is a serious steal people.  Want to get your hands on this?  Here's what you need to do:

1.  Visit their website and tell me what your favorite digital paper pack or layout is.
2.  That's it.

I really hate those giveaways that make you go to Facebook, Twitter, and every other social media site on the planet to enter.  So I won't make you do that.  If you would like to visit their blog, Facebook page, or follow them on Twitter...go for it!  But you don't have to in order to win.  You love me, right?

So comment away my friends!  I'll choose a winner randomly on Sunday, October 2nd.  Good luck!

Disclaimer:  I received a free download of the software in exchange for my honest review of the material.

Winner, Winner!

Thanks so much to everyone that participated in my giveaway!  I am so jealous that one of you lucky readers gets to pick some gorgeous stationery from Elona Creations!  Lucky duck!

So let's get on with it, huh?

The winner is....

Ty from Rants. Raves. Ridiculous! 

I just started reading Ty's blog not too super long ago and she is incredibly sweet and funny.  Check her out!  And congratulations Ty!!  Contact me with your choice of stationery and your shipping info and we'll get that right out to you ASAP!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! 

GIVEAWAY, GIVEAWAY!

IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME!

I'm super excited to be hosting this giveaway for all of you today!  Do you remember those gorgeous "It's a Girl" cards I created to announce the gender of our little sweet pea to the world?  They looked like this...

Except, you know, pink.

Well, Kathy over at Elona Creations on Etsy has so graciously offered to give one of my very lucky readers a CHOICE of a any 10 pack of stationery in her collection!  FOR FREE!  Isn't that ridiculously awesome?  I'd say so.

So here's what you need to do.  Click here to view the stationary section of her store.  You'll get one entry if you let me know which design you like the very, very best.  Also, let me know if you follow my blog, as you'll earn an extra entry if you do.  That's it.  Easy Peasy!

The giveaway will end at 10 p.m. on Sunday (9/19) and I'll announce the winner Monday (9/20) morning.

Now head on over and check her out!  And in case you need any help, here are some of my favorites...

Happy shopping!

Leavin' On A Jetplane...

Well ladies...I'm off!

Today is my last day of work until after Thanksgiving!! I am so ridiculously excited about this...you do not even know. Things have been a little crazy around these parts and I sure could use a break. I am leaving for Colorado tomorrow afternoon to visit my brother for a few days...then it's back to Indianapolis for some precious time with the rest of my family for the holidays.

Unfortunately, my dear husband will not be joining me on my trip out west...so keep him in your prayers seeing as he is going to have to fend for himself for 4 whole days without me. I can already see the pizza boxes on my kitchen floor. I will miss him like crazy when I'm gone (in fact I already kind of miss him and I haven't even left yet....weird?) but I'm excited to be able to spend some quality time with my brother. Living across the country...we do not see each other nearly enough.

I am going to be taking my laptop and I plan on attempting to keep up on my blogging from afar...but alas, I cannot make any promises. So I will say ta ta and wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!

But before I dash off, I wanted to give a shout out to a few of my bloggy friends! Since I started blogging many, many months ago I have won three giveaways. Yes, that's right. Three! And even though I won them all at different times, I got all of my packages within the last few days! How fun is that? One day, the only pieces of mail we had in our whole mailbox were from bloggers!

So what did I win??

I won this painted wooden letter in the color of my choice from A Journey Through the Waiting Game:


Isn't it lovely?? Please forgive the spot my flash made on the R. It is flawless in person. Maybe she could do two smaller letters for me to put on each side of the R and I could put our initials on our wall!?! Oh the wheels they are a turnin'...


I won this from Shaina:

It's some super delicious granola and a pedometer! Now we can be twins! Please ignore the fact that the granola is already 1/2 gone and I just got it yesterday.


And finally, very fitting, I won this from Dugout Daisy:


Just in time for New Moon...my very own Twilight coaster!


Thank you so much ladies!! You have no idea how special I felt carrying in all of those packages with my name on them! You rock my world :)

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

It's Friday! Luckily this week has flown by and I am loving that it is almost the weekend! I have plans to drag my husband to see The Time Traveler's Wife on Saturday and I am so excited! We just watched The Notebook this week...so I am on a Rachel McAdams high! Oh I just love her!

Other than that...we have no plans! I just love relaxing weekends where we can simply enjoy the extended amount of time we can spend with just each other! I'm inching my way through My Sister's Keeper...so hopefully I can finish that this weekend. Oh what I would give to be a speed reader...


Now onto the winner of the garden stakes giveaway!! And I actually did make chicken for dinner last night...just saying.


And the winner is...

Annie from Chapters of Our Life!!
