Heartgram

January 31, 2013

I know my feature is usually on Fridays, but I wanted to share this in time for you to be a part of this event.

The girls at LoveFeast Shop have a very special valentines this year. For any Velvet Plush Heart or HeartGramTM purchased on February 1st, LoveFeast Shop will donate 15% of proceeds to the American Heart Association in honor of Go Red For Women. And to make it even sweeter for you, you have a chance to win a set for yourself.

One of my sisters passed away 7 years ago of heart failure, so this is near and dear to my heart. She was 46. I miss her every day. More women die of heart disease than any other form of cancer combined. Unfortunately, this killer isn't as easy to see. Heart disease is often hidden and misunderstood.

The LoveFeast™ HeartGram™ is the perfect gift for any Valentine. Each HeartGram™ comes packaged in a kraft paper gift box, with crinkle paper and a vintage inspired postcard. The box is tied with a gorgeous satin ribbon. The postcard can be delivered blank for you to fill out for your Valentine, or you can leave a note for us upon ordering with your message and we will hand write the note for you.

Each HeartGram™ Set or Single comes in the colors of Cherry, Coral, Turquoise, Lagoon or Snow. Each set contains an approximately 5" and 4" handcrafted Velvet Plush Heart with an artistic, organic stem. HeartGram™ Singles include a 5" Velvet Plush Heart.

The collectible limited edition 2013 HeartGram™ Set comes with a custom designed postcard by artist Annie Barnett of Be Small Studio in Turquoise and Lagoon velvet.

To learn more about woman's heart health go to GoRedforWomen.org and please consider buying a heartgram for yourself tomorrow, February 1, or even purchase a set as a gift! Thank you Love Feast Shop.

If trying to win a set is more your style, then enter to win a pair in the color of your choice. I love mine and the BF even thought they were darling. Don't they look sweet next to my heart box?

Please follow the instructions in the rafflecopter form below to enter, and good luck!

Four Favorites Valentines Edition

January 30, 2013

bags

I am linking up today on my very first linkup, and I couldn't be more excited that it is with my blog bestie Ashlyn and Kristin!!

Scarf Heart Tee Flats Bag

With sweetheart day right around the corner, love is definetely in the air. I love all things pink, and these are a few favorites for sure. I have really been wanting a cross body bag for sometime and this Brahmin is the perfect size. Not too small, or to big, and in pale pink!!

So, I won a GC last year, yes, last year.... but in my defense it was late spring if that counts! Any way, I have to admit, sometimes I hang on to gift cards for a while, and alway second guessing if I used it wisely enough! Well I finally think I am ready to spend it! This scarf with lips is so fun, and I would have a blast styling it!

Ok, so I have to be honest, I use to have a rule, I never wore hearts. Not in any way, shape, or form. I can't even tell you when I changes that, but hearts are no longer on my do not wear list and I am super glad!

The flats are buttery soft,come in a huge assortment of colors, and oh so comfy! So what's on your list of favorites? Link up and share what you desire for valentines!

Flutterbys

January 29, 2013

Art

If you have spent any amount of time cruising thru pinterest, then I am sure you have seen this precious keepsake for your baby. I loved it the first time I saw it and knew it was only a matter of time before I would have to make it. Last year when I went to EL Paso, my daughter in law and I made a set for each of us. I can remember when my boys were little, they would always make some sort of a butterfly in preschool and bring them home. I had a wall in my house that was adorned with all the coffee filter, construction paper, and pipe cleaner fluterbys. My two younger sons always called them flutterbys instead of butterflys. I still have all the flutterbys in a box too!

So this past weekend, I had to add to my flutterby of my two older grandsons, and make a new one with my youngest grandson.

Take two precious little set of piggies, add paint in the prettiest colors you imagine, carefully apply the feet to the canvas, (key word there carefully) little feet move fast and unpredictable!! We only painted one foot at a time, washed it off, then painted the second foot. Once the paint was dry, I drew a squiggly line up the middle with a little head and some antennas. If you can at all help it, place the little piggie prints a bit lower on your canvas so the antennas are longer! (Oh, and the little smudge on the lower corner? that would be his big toe that had a mind of its own!) I decided to leave it!

I love it! So tell me, have you tried anything off of pinterest? Was a it a success? Do you follow me on pinterest?
