Giveaway from Everybody's Hero!!! (this giveaway is now closed)

I have an exciting giveaway for anyone that has a little hero in their life whether it be a girl or a boy. I have actually waited several weeks to do this giveaway because I wanted to make sure everyone would get in on this and not miss out because of summer business.

When I first started talking to Everybody's Hero she ask me what color cape I wanted. I told her I was pretty easy going and I have girls and a boy so it really didn't matter. I was sooooo surprised when I opened the package and found a BEAUTIFUL reversible cape. On one side of the cape it is for my girls and the other side for my boy.

All I had to do was velcro this on them and they instantly turned into super hero's.

Let's learn more about Everybody's Hero:


When did you open your Etsy shop? September 2009

Can you tell me about the charity you support? The Children's Tumor Foundation is a foundation dedicated to finding a cure for Neurofibromatosis (NF) and to improving the the health and well being of individuals and families affected by NF. Since my youngest son has been diagnosed with NF1, my family is directly impacted by this foundation.

How did you start making capes? When my husband and I had our last child, we decided I should stop teaching for a few years and stay home with the children. I wanted to still bring in a little bit of extra income and give back to the charity that could potentially provide help for our child so I decided to try my hand at sewing. My heart goes out to every child going through any type of medical treatment and how much strength they have from it all. They are all little heroes in my mind. Thus, was born the name "Everybody's Hero™."

How can they be customized? Each customer choosing their colors, emblems and initials. If there is a color or emblem that is not listed but someone is interested in, most of the time I can work with a customer to make what they are envisioning ;)



Buy It - When you buy from Everbody's Hero a portion of the sale goes to The Children's Tumor Foundation.
Win It -Everybody's Hero is giving away to one of my readers a non-reversible cape. They have been kind enough to leave this open to ALL my readers including international readers.

Giveaway by Rhonda D Designs

I am so excited to get to share Rhonda D Designs with you. I love everything in this store and I am totally in love with these nap-time/travel pillows.

Rhonda D Designs sent me the pillow pictured above and it came beautifully wrapped ready to give as a gift. I had no idea when I opened it that it would have the softest pillowcase I have ever felt. My girls were fighting over who got to keep it and I told them to keep fighting because then it would give me a good excuse to keep it for myself. These pillows are just the perfect size for little heads and would be great for toddler beds, daycare and travel.

Let's learn about Rhonda D Designs:

When did you open your Etsy shop? I started my Etsy shop late January 2010.


Can you tell me a little about yourself? I am a semi-stay home mom,(I do some substitute teaching during the school year),of two amazing girls ages 6 and 10. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 15 years. We live in a small town in the central valley of California. I have a huge heart for the Lord, my family, my dear friends, and creative people.

How did you start making these pillows? When I resigned from my career in Human Resources, I was determined to make the most of my time at home. I knew I wanted to explore the creative nature within. At the time, my youngest daughter was in preschool a few days a week and would occasionally stay for afternoon nap time. She had plenty of blankets at home, but no smaller pillows. I found a few cute ones in the stores, but they were not washable (ewww). I came across a pattern for a smaller pillowcase and the ideas started flowing. I made a few for my girls, and their friends, experimenting with fabric combinations as I went. The kids loved them and I began thinking that other kids may love them too. So I began selling them at local gift shows and eventually at a local boutique. Before I knew it, I had scrap fabric coming out of my ears. I decided to use the fabric to add appliques to onesies and t-shirts. Everything I create in my shop, stems from these plush pillows.


Do you take custom orders? I absolutely love custom orders. Custom orders really give me the ability to explore new designs, and different fabrics. These orders challenge me to think outside my box.
Buy It - Rhonda D Designs is offering FREE shipping if you are a second time buyer from her shop.

Anyone thinking about Christmas yet? I have been and just the name of this shop will get you thinking about it. I found Santa's Gift Shoppe because of the BEAUTIFUL decorative tiles she has in her shop. Santa's Gift Shop sent me the one pictured below. Isn't it beautiful?

When I opened the package from Santa's Gift Shoppe it had a very yummy surprise attached. Along with the tile she sent a recipe for Chocolate Peanut Clusters. OK.....thinking about Christmas yet?

I also love, love , love the adorable aprons she carries in her shop. I have one pictured below but you need to take a good look in her store.

Let's learn more about this fun shop:

When did you open your Etsy Shop? I joined in Feb.2010 but did not open for business until the end of April 2010.

I love anything Christmas that can put that spirit into your heart all year long. (I start watching Christmas movies in July!) I love to bake anything & make homemade jams (about 300 a yr & 15 different blends) I've won 1st place in the Fair for most all of them. I love doing Family History & finding the roots that make us who we are.

My Etsy Shop is a reflection of the love I have for my favorite things in life...Beautiful Italian Stones with heart warming messages, fun & sassy aprons to make baking even more fun (especially the matching mommy/daughter ones) Jewelry to us feel beautiful, Home decor items to beautify our homes to become a place of warmth & refuse from the world.


What inspires you?

Giveaway by Domestically Green (this giveaway is now closed)

OK, I'm just going to tell you now that Domestically Green has me hooked and these reusable swiffer pads!!! Sampler Village (since I know you read this), you need to get ahold of this shop because these things are amazing! Did I tell you I'm hooked?


Domestically Green sent me 3 of these to try out and before I could even get them out of the package my kids were begging to clean because they have monkey's on them. Now if you are a mom you know that anything that gets your kids excited to clean is something you want to have.


OK, I'm about to be totally embarrassed but I want to show you how much dog hair this thing picked up off of a floor that looked clean.



Can you believe that? Let me just say that I will not be buying the ones from the store anymore and these are even fun and colorful. For $10 you get 3 of these and when they are dirty you just throw them in the wash and reuse them.

Let's see what Domestically Green has to say about their shop:


When did you open your Etsy shop? I opened my shop in August 2009

Can you tell me a little about yourself? I am a stay at home mom to 3 little kids. Before I had kids I was a CPA and after my 2nd was born, my husband and I decided it was best for our family for me to stay home and raise our kids. That was when I started to look for ways to save money and also ways for our family to be more green. It was amazing how different I looked at everything, including our planet, after our kids were born. Part of saving money and going green included switching to reusable handmade products - wool dryer balls, swiffer pads, reusable snack bags, etc. We've also gone mostly paper towelless here as well and I'm hoping to start selling some reusable paper towels in my store at some point too.



Can you tell my readers about your swiffer pads? My reusable swiffer pads are designed to be used with a swiffer duster mop (or pledge grab-it mop). They are made of 2 layers - one is a cotton flannel in a cool design and the other side is a coordinating soft fleece. Both of these fabrics work wonders at sweeping up loose crumbs, dust, hair, etc. Think of babies crawling around on the floor in fleece or flannel pants....their knees are usually covered so quickly with what they "sweep" up as they are crawling around. These are great because you no longer have to buy boxes of disposable pads that just get one use and end up in the trash. I've had a set of reusable swiffer pads that I made about 2 years ago that are still going strong! And to give you an idea of how often they are used - I'm a swiffer freak because I've had crawling babies for almost 4 years straight now and my entire house is hardwood floors!


We are hooked on dryer balls in our home, can you explain them to my readers? My wool dryer balls are made from 100% wool yarn. They contain no chemicals or hazardous materials. They are about the size of a tennis ball and are felted a few times during the process. You can use as little as 2 dryer balls in your dryer at a time, but I have found them to much more effective when you have 6-8 balls in your dryer. As the balls are circulated in the dryer, they separate your clothes to allow the warm air from the dryer get to all articles of clothing. The more dryer balls that you add to your dryer, the faster your clothes will dry. In addition, the friction created by the felted wool being rubbed against your clothing helps to cut down on static cling and soften your clothes. The more dryer balls that you add to your dryer, the softer your clothes get.

I love the wool dryer balls because there are no chemicals in them (like dryer sheets - that can irritate sensitive skin or leave a film of build-up on your lint screen) and they work great with cloth diapers as well!


Buy It - If you have bought any of the ones disposable ones from the store then you know that you are saving a bundle by using these reusable ones.

Win It - Domestically Green is giving away a set of these amazing swiffer pads to one of my readers in your choice of print from their shop. This giveaway is open to my readers in the US and Canada.

Giveaway By Wild Poppy Shoppe (this giveaway is now closed)

Jessica from Wild Poppy Shoppe contacted me asking if I would host a giveaway for her. Jessica has a BEAUTIFUL shop full of color and fun things.

Honestly I don't even think I could pick a favorite in her shop because there are so many wonderful things. Jessica and her husband opened this shop to raise money to adopt a child so please take time to look through all she has to offer.

Let's learn about Wild Poppy Shoppe:

When did you open your Etsy shop? March of this year.
Can you tell me a little about yourself and why you started your shop? I am married to my favorite guy in the entire world and get to hang out with our two sweet boys while creating vintage inspired silk flowers and jewelry. My hubby is a youth pastor and worship leader at our church. Together we hope to live a life that is passionate, purposeful, and full of adventure. I have always wanted to use my creativity for something big, so in this season of our lives opening an Etsy shop was just what we needed to get us one step closer to our dream while allowing me to pursue the many ideas swimming around in my head that take form in flower, stone, or wire. We are raising money for international adoption, and are in the process of figuring out which country we will go through to find our next child! My husband and I met in Hawaii while doing international missions work and love experiencing other cultures, so we can’t wait to not only adopt our precious child but incorporate their culture into our lives, weaving our stories together forever. There are so many children without families world wide and we are moved to not only grow our family through adoption but do what we can for as many of those precious kids as possible. We’ve had the privilege of working at a special needs orphanage in China and plan to keep going back and bring others with us to experience a life changing time of serving some of the most amazing kids we’ve ever met!

Do you take custom orders? Yes- I just finished working with a bride on a custom order for a trio of silk hair flowers for a safari theme wedding!

What makes you smile? Hearing my boys laughing and playing together, they are 1 & 3 and becoming the best of friends; waking up in a different country; being asked out on a date by my husband!

Buy It - Wild Poppy Shoppe has a special for the month of June. With any $50 purchase or more you get a FREE pair of wired wrapped vintage faux pearl earrings.

Win It - Wild Poppy Shoppe is giving away this amazing flower necklace pictured above. They have been kind enough to leave this open to ALL my readers including international readers.
