Mega Giveaway Vendor Spotlight: Meet Peek-a-Boo Props and Hippy Chic Diapers

Today is the last day of our giveaway!  Have you entered yet?

I've got two more awesome ladies to introduce you to today

First up is Sue of Peek-a-Boo Props:

My name is Sue and I'm from Minnesota.  I make newborn photography props like bonnets, rompers, crowns, headbands, ect.  I started my shop on ETSY in January of 2013.  My daughter is a photographer, and I help her with the newborn shoots.  I was looking at the props she was buying and said, "hey, I can make that".  And the rest is history.  I am humbled every day, that I am able to communicate with photographers all over the word, from Singapore to Lima Peru.

I have loved to sew all my life, and now I have found a way to enjoy my passion every day. I only wish I would have heard about ETSY years ago.  Never in a million years did I think this was possible.  I am truly blessed.

And next up is Amy from Hippy Chic Diapers:

I'm a "stay at home" mom to 4 little folks.  In between soccer practices, dance classes and homeschooling, I make cloth diapers & children's apparel.  I strive to make practical children's items that are both fun & affordable.

Here's what these wonderful ladies are giving away:

Mega Giveaway Vendor Spotlight: Meet Southern Girl Accents, Bright Eyed Owl and doTERRA

Woohoo, it's Friday!  Are you pumped?!  I've got 3 more ladies to introduce you to that are part of our Mega Giveaway!

First up is my real-life friend Heather of Southern Girl Accents:

I am Heather and a true Southern girl.  I was born in Georgia and raised in the south. I have been married for over 20 years and we have 3 amazing children. 

As I have thought about a name for my blog and for the small, home based business I wanted to create, I wanted a name that would be kinda cute, but, not cutesy.  A name that represented me and my vision for where I see my business going.  Since I am southern .... I am a girl and I do have an accent ... well ... Southern Girl Accents sounded pretty perfect to me.  However, the Accents part more than applies to how I talk.  I love accenting and adorning stuff!!  Don't get me wrong, I am not a bedazzeler.  I like to make items that can be a permanent part of something, or can be easily removed and swapped out for another color or style.  (I love  Back Pack Fowers for that reason ...  lots of fun colors and they can be clipped and changed in seconds!!) 

Next up is my real-life friend Ashley of Bright Eyed Owl:

Ashley lives here in Albuquerque with her hubby and her two adorable boys.  She makes the cutest baby items you'll ever see!  She is one of the most talented seamstresses I know.  She crafts such lovelies as binky clips, car seat covers, stuffed toys-my kids each have one of her adorable elephants- and teething toys.

Last up today is my real-life friend Brittany of The Natural Cure and who is also a doTERRA rep:

Brittany has always had a passion for health. After receiving her degree in Health Education, Brittany undertook further education specializing in depression and anxiety recovery.

Brittany believes that prevention is the key to ultimate health and she discovered that essential oils could help herself and others prevent illnesses and treat ailments in a natural holistic manner with a goal to an all-round healthier lifestyle.

Her passion goes beyond sharing essential oils for healing into giving the opportunity of wealth with others.

She loves people and making new friends! She would love to meet you so send a facebook message or check her out at The Natural Cure, where you can find lots of great recipes, natural living how to's and more!

Mega Giveaway Vendor Spotlight: Meet Shabby Chic Soap Co., My Bella Accessories and Kristen Duke Photography

Hope you all have been enjoying the giveaway this week and getting to know the awesome ladies behind it!  Here are some more lovely ladies that you should know:

First up is Sheena of Shabby Chic Soap Company-

I'm a stay-at-home-mama of 2 little boys, a 5 y/o and 1 y/o. I started Shabby Chic Soap Company shortly after my 2nd was born and my original goal was to make a soap that would be gentle enough for the whole family to use, but it has grown to so much more than that. I love coming up with new designs for my Shea Butter based soaps....designs to get kids EXCITED to take a bath, designs to make mamas feel PAMPERED, designs to make dads feel MANLY, designs that show off your NERDY side and so much more. All of my soaps are made to order, so you can customize your scents and colors or leave out any allergens/sensitivities. And my favorite thing about my "job" is the feedback, encouragement and joy I get from my customers, especially those who come back again and again to restock their soap dishes with SCSC soap.

Next up is my real-life friend Jessica of My Bella Accessories:

My Bella Accessories was founded in 2011 by Jessica Gartrell of Central Florida. This venture runs almost entirely on yarn and money donations, to provide crochet items to those less fortunate. In exchange for purchasing the yarn, customers would receive their item A) for only $5-15--depending on the request; and B) with the peace of mind of knowing that the yarn left over from their order would be used to make items to donate. My Bella has donated items to Lakeland Regional Medical Center, Oh My Baby, The Scarf Project, and numerous others.  Jessica is currently a teacher at Excel Academy in Lakeland and isn't taking orders right now, but continues to do her charity donations.

And last (for today) but certainly not least is Kristen of Kristen Duke Photography and Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke:

Hello! I’m Kristen, an Austin Texas based lifestyle blogger and photographer. I like to Capture the Joy in life, and share it with my friends. My joy includes my family, eating well, designing furniture for my hubby to build, teaching photography to beginners, throwing parties, and sharing all kinds of random thoughts.  Photography has always been a passion of mine.  Growing up, my camera was never very far away.  Back in the day, I learned how to develop film in the darkroom, but now my computer is my darkroom. As a mother of 4, I want to capture my children at each stage.  I wish I could bottle them up and hold them there forever, and with my camera…I can!

Freelance floral designer offering services for your wedding or special occasion serving most of New England. In addition, we have an online boutique with floral theme hair and jewelry accessories for girls of all ages.  CJN.... Where style blooms.

Next up is my friend Mae of Splendid Jewelry.

Mae is my real-life friend and fellow jewelry maker.  She describes Splendid Jewelry as "specializing in up cycled designs and vintage inspired jewelry creations that are sure to please. Splendid was started by Mae Reedy, as a fun hobby to re-use old broken jewelry in fun new ways and soon a business was born. We strive to keep prices low, and quality high as we keep broken and discarded jewelry out of the landfill as much as we can in the process."

{Who's That} Accessorize With Feather Girl and a GIVEAWAY!-CLOSED

I'm so happy to have my real-life friend Heather over here today to show you her cute creations.  I've known her for years!  She recently started an accessories shop where she sells her uber cute crocheted creations called Accessorize With Feather Girl.  When she asked if she could be a guest over here in response to my call for guests, I immediately said yes!  You will love her and the cute things she makes!  

Thanks for having me on your blog Courtney!!  I have known Courtney for a loooong time and am always amazed by her creativity!! 

Heather's the name, crochet is my game!!!  I am a stay at home mom and have been for the better part of the past 16 years.  I started crocheting when I was about 9.  My mom would make little projects here and there and thought that I needed to learn some kind of craft .... something that I could, eventually pass on to my daughter one day.  I use her for a lot of my pics, because she inspires me to be creative and I am passing my love of crochet on to her!  



Me and my Muse!

I picked up my crochet hook again in December of this past year, after seeing some scarves a friend had made.  I got to thinking ... hmmmm .... I bet I could do that!! So, I got online to get some ideas of things and started crocheting again.  I don't make up all of my own patterns, and will be posting links to the ones that I have used, as I appreciate the work that others have done to come up with these patterns, and want to give credit where credit is due!  I do, upon occasion, try to find ways to make things more to my liking, instead of using an exact pattern. 

One of my favorite things that I have done is a cell phone case.  These were inpired by my daughter, who is 9.

  

I love these little "bags" They started out as IPod Touch cases, my muse was looking for something to carry hers in and asked me to make her one ... I could tell that the first one I made her was not really what she was looking for.  And as I was working on something else, I came up with the pattern for this. Believe it or not, I was making baby shoes when I started playing with this style of case.  The first one I made was a solid color, then I started experimenting with colors, stitches and buttons and this was the result!  There is a back pocket that accomodates a cell phone or ID ..or whatever you want!! 

This is actually the first pattern I tried! It was just a plain hat, no embellishment on it, but anyone that knows me, knows that I love "accessories"!!  I changed the size hook from the original pattern and added a bow and Voila!!  I LOVE these hats, they are fun and can be made to match any outfit or jacket!!  I love doing them in stripes to match Tennessee's favorite team ... the Vols!! 

My daughter loves headbands, so when I saw something similar to this one online, I got busy!!  I love crocheting different styles of flowers or adding crochet bows for fun and flirty looks!!

These are just a few of the things that I make!  I love being able to make something that will bring a smile to someone's face!! 

Again .... thank you Courtney ... you are amazing!!
