BIRTHDAY WEEK: SATURDAY GIVEAWAY

Wow.  Completely blown away by all the birthday wishes and love today - thank you all so much!

And I do have to apologize - yesterday's giveaway didn't happen.  I was dealing with a few more things yesterday then I planned on and simply did not find a few minutes to blast it out to everyone.  I'll be sure and make it up to you all next week ;)

But I did want to make sure and post the giveaway for today since this is the day that I was birthed.  But how many years ago?  Hmmmm....

Some of you might remember this post awhile back that was all about a current obsession that I have ;)  I thought it only appropriate to make that the giveaway on my birthday!!  So, the winner of today's giveaway will receive...a darling Anthropologie apron!!


 

If only I could keep it for myself!  So, in order to win you have to answer the following question...

What age has been your favorite and why?

Since it is a holiday weekend and everyone is out enjoying their friends and family, I am giving you all until the end of Sunday to leave your comment.  The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning!!

Thank you so much again to you all who have sent love and Happy Birthday wishes!!

BIRTHDAY WEEK: THURSDAY GIVEAWAY

**UPDATE: WINNER!  Okay, so some of these actually sounded good and some of them made me sick to my stomach.  All in all, I had such a good laugh reading through these.

Congratulations to, Carre G for winning the Sprinkles Gift Card!!  Carre, I will never understand cottage cheese with maple syrup on top, but I am so glad you participated ;)  Please email me with your address so you can enjoy a Sprinkles Cupcake....or several!

Thanks again everyone for participating!!

 

 

I must say, I have been overwhelmed with the response for this week and the giveaways, comments and entries I have received.  For you all to share what you are sharing is absolutely amazing and I want to thank each and everyone of you for it.

Today's giveaway is brought to you by my wonderful husband and business partner since after all, today is HIS birthday.  That's right, my man is one year older and gettin' better with age!  More on that later today for his special birthday post where I get to gush about how amazing he is.  That's right.  I'm going there.

Anyway, I decided to let him pick out the giveaway for today and what he picked put a smile on my face.  Maybe his choice was because he is my supplier of the fabulous goodie or perhaps it's because he really enjoys them too.  Either way, I loved his pick!!

So, for today's giveaway...a $15 Sprinkles Cupcakes gift card!!

 

 

How to win?  Here is the question you must answer...

"What is the strangest thing you like to eat or strangest eating habit you have?"

Comment below with your answer for a chance to win.  I'm hoping for some awesome and hilarious answers!!

You have until the end of today to comment.  The winner will be announced first thing tomorrow morning!!  Good luck!!

BIRTHDAY WEEK: WEDNESDAY GIVEAWAY

**UPDATE: I must say that this was one of the hardest and most difficult contests to decide.  SO many of you shared such heartfelt stories and incredibly intimate moments.  For that, thank you.  Thank you for opening your heart and reminding us how important photographs are.

I spent the entire morning reading.  From the beginning, I said that I had to read every single comment.  And I did.  All 642 of them.  With tears in my eyes and a few smiles along the way, all 642 comments held their own signifigance and importance.

I would like to congratulate, Kristol Faucheux, who is the winner of a Project Life Kit from everyone's favorite scrapbooker, Becky Higgins.  Kristol, your story was such a touching one and the simplistic nature of the moment you wish you had really resignated with me.  Thank you so much for sharing with me.  Please be sure and email me with your address so we can get your PL Kit to you!

And thank you so much again for everyone who commented!  You truly have touched me in the sweetest way possible.

 

 

In my business, I am so blessed and honored to work with amazing and talented individuals.  When I heard that this next giveaway was going to be included, I squealed.  Yes, squealed.  Hopefully it was cute.  Not only is this individual wonderful in every way, but her product is something that has allowed others a great way to document their lives.

Who could I possibly be talking about?  None other than the uber fabulous, Miss Becky Higgins!!

And she has been gracious enough to join in our giveaway week to give one lucky person a free Project Life kit!  I'm sure I'm not the only squealing at this point.  Am I right?!

 

 

Alright, alright...let's get down to details.  So Miss Becky and her Project Life kit are huge advocates for documenting daily life and recording it.  Down to the most simple things. 

So...for your chance to win a free Project Life kit... 

"What day or moment in your life do you wish you had a picture of and why?"

 Leave a comment below with your answer.  You have until Friday, September 3rd at 9:00 AM!  Good luck!!

JUST A REMINDER

ALISON & CHRISTOPHER

Alison heard about me from a fellow co-worker and one of my clients.  With that, I reasoned that Alison was cool because all my clients are cool.  After describing themselves and their personal style, I found out that Christopher is a soccer player.  Again, I could reason that Christopher was laid back and cool because all soccer players usually are.  I mean, my husband was a soccer player and I like to think of him as cool so I had to like Christopher, right?

Then I met Alison.  A smile that is contagious, brown eyes that swallow you whole and legs for days.  Absolutely stunning.  While we waited for Christopher to arrive, she mentioned casually that she reads my blog.  That's it!  These people are perfection!

And then I shot this image...

 

 

And these two...

 

 

And these two... (Alison, I wish I could look half as gorgeous as you do while laughing)

 

 

And then I shot this one...

 

 

And this Abercrombie ad for the summer catalogue...

 

 

And this final one...

 

 

And you know what I realized?  Alison and Christopher, you truly are perfection.  In every sense of the word.  Thank you so much for spending time with me.  I so wish I could be there on the big day, but I know it will be absolutely fabulous.  And you two?  You two will be perfection.
