Giveaway

Day two of my return and I come bearing gifts once again!! An old friend of mine Tami has come to offer $50 shop credit to her new Origami Owl Shop!! Please contact her if you are interested in joining the Origami Owl team! She'd make an awesome mentor ~ #4466; [email protected] or 919.412.3202

Have you heard of Origami Owl? It’s this great new company started by a FOURTEEN year old back in 2010. Isabella the founder of Origami Owl, came up with the idea to create see through lockets that people could customize to tell their story. BRILLIANT!! I wish I was that smart at fourteen.

Armed with great taste and $350 of her babysitting money that was matched by her parents, Isabelle set out to raise enough money to purchase a car when she turned 16.  Little did she know that within two years, with help from her family, she has taken her fabulous idea and turned it into a thriving business. After a successful year with a mall kiosk, Isabella and her mother decided it would be more fun to take it the direct sales route. That way mothers and daughters can work together creating fun at home parties to share this fabulous product with their friends.

Tami sent me this beautiful locket that I had the opportunity to customize myself, and I LOVE it!! First of all, it doesn’t feel cheap at all.  I’ve purchased jewelry from some other direct sales companies (who shall remain nameless) and once I received them, they felt like poorly made costume jewelry.  I HATE that!! You’re paying high prices for really LOW quality items.  Not with Origami Owl!

I selected the type of locket and chain that I wanted, then I had fun picking out the fun little items to put in the locket.  These are the little trinkets that tell your story.  I chose birthstones for my four kiddos, and the Eiffel Tower and sand dollar to remember some fabulous family trips that we’ve taken together. I capped it off with a hand stamped plate to place inside the locket that says “Love Life” a great daily reminder.

The great thing is that I can continue to customize it as I want. The locket isn’t sealed so you can change things out as you like.  I love it!! To top it off they come in a cute little take-out container that I just adore…

Now for the goodies…Tami is offering one of you lucky guys a chance to win $50 worth of shop credit to her Origami Owl online shop!!  All you have to do is follow the directions in the Rafflecopter box below…

The NoVae Clothing Story

I had the opportunity to meet Nikkelle the owner of NoVae while I was at SNAP! this last April. What a doll! Her and her husband started NoVae back in 2010 right after her husband had lost both of his jobs within 2 hours of each other. WOWZA!  They decided to take the glass half full approach and developed the idea for NoVae. Nikkelle had worked as a consultant for Modbe Fashion, a line of modest clothing and had learned the industry. They saw the need for modest clothing retailers and thought it would be a great venture for their family.

I hope you guys have fallen in love with NoVae Clothing as much as Hales and I have.  I can’t wait to hear about all your fun finds!!

To say that I am in love with the Orange Blossom Shop would be a gigantic understatement!! I have been in love with their work for some time now. Back in April we took a fun family vacation to the California coast and we took some fun pictures that I  just adore. I knew I just had to have one framed for my office, but it couldn't be just any frame.  It HAD to be an Orange Blossom Shop frame!!!

As luck would have it I had the fun opportunity to meet and hang out with Shauna & Courtney from Orange Blossom while we were at Snap! a few weeks later.  It was LOVE at first sight.  These girls are amazing and I am so impressed with everything that they create. Their designs are amazing and the work is superb!!

I thought it would be really fun to take the stylish numbers signs that I found at Farm House Antiques, and use them to create a gallery wall with the photograph I took of the kiddos. Each of the kiddos is holding their age for this year and it has become such a family treasure.  Here is how the gallery wall turned out…

I just LOVE how it!! We have our 2, 8, 11 & 15 for the kiddos ages plus I was able to put our families favorite number in there 22.  My birthday is this Friday, June 22, my Honey's birthday is October 22 and we were married on September 22… so 22 is kind of special to us.  Then I added the Eye Chart Calendar, also from Antique Farm House to the mix and it looks perfect! You know what REALLY makes it perfect is the Orange Blossom Frame!!

You need to check out the Orange Blossom Shop, they have all kinds of to die for frames big & small, plus a whole bunch of other goodies, signs, vinyl lettering, party supplies… all kinds of fun stuff.

 

These are the different frame shapes they have and below are the lovely colors that you have to choose from…

Aren't they just tasty? I would like to order one of each please… Courtney & Shauna would love to give one of you lucky guys a chance at one of their aaaamazing frame by offering a $50 gift certificate to one lucky WhipperBerry reader.  All you have to do in follow the directions in the Rafflecopter form below…
