Peace Love Mom giveaway! (CLOSED)
I just can't get enough of "Peace Love Mom". I absolutely love their shirts and their message. I love being a mom and when wearing their comfortable tee's I am able to share this with the world. Anyone who sees me, will also see me wearing one of my Peace Love Mom tee's. Just to make it clear, Peace Love Mom does NOT pay me to wear their shirts or to sponsor them. In fact I have purchased several tee's with my own personal money only because Peace Love Mom is truly one of my favorites. Not only are their shirts comfy, but they are long in length to flatter us mom's and they have awesome designs.
On September 9th, Peace Love Mom wanted to "Congratulate Mom's who survived Back to School". During this promotion they are offering FREE shipping and a FREE PeaceLoveMom notepad when you use coupon code: BTS at checkout. This ends September 30th.
With fall here, Peace Love Mom has brought in new products, designs and colors. One of these is the "Lucky Watermelon Burn Out Vneck Tee". This brings me to the giveaway.
Giveaway:
Peace Love Mom will be giving away one "Lucky Watermelon Burn Out Vneck Tee"!

I personally love how Hasbro has toys for all ages and stages in life.

Carissa Black Giveaway! (CLOSED)
I want to welcome back Carissa who has a wonderful shop on Etsy which carries handmade purses and bags. She also had a bag featured in the June issue of "Good Housekeeping" magazine and was featured in the inspiration gallery of Amy Butler's newest software. Some of you may remember the giveaway Carissa sponsored earlier this year, she is now back offering another great prize. First though, I thought it would be fun to get to know Carissa a little better. Here is what I learned from our interview.
Mama Snow-Tell us a little more about yourself...
Carissa-"A little about myself, hmmmm... I am 37. I live in Connecticut with my two crazy little boys and my very adventurous, mountain climbing husband. I have a cute little house and a great garden. I love hiking, camping, and occasionally taking those uphill treks with my hubby. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1994 with a degree in nursing. I have been an ICU/trauma nurse ever since. I am currently working in an open heart ICU, but only on the weekends. The rest of the week is spent taking care of the family and of course, sewing. Another interesting thing about my family is that my little boy, who is 9, will need a liver transplant at some point. You would never know it to look at him though. He is just your typical 9 year old, active, little boy."
Mama Snow-How long has your business been around?
Carissa-"Officially, 2 years. Unofficially, 4. It was more of an idea/hobby for 2 years and then one day I stumbled upon Etsy and the next day opened my shop."
Mama Snow-What inspired you to create your shop?
Carissa-"I have always loved to design and sew. I took sewing classes in high school, but my teacher hated me. I was such a rebel and never wanted to follow a pattern or do anything the "proper" way. It drove her nuts. My way just seemed to make more sense. What got me in trouble then has really helped me now. I love to create my own patterns and I love the process of turning a yard of fabric into something wonderful. Anyway, my "hobby" was taking over my husband's side of the closet so I decided I needed to find a practical way to manage all of my creations."
Mama Snow-Is this a full time or part time business?
Carissa-"It is a full time business. I have been working really hard over the past year and it is really starting to pay off. I had one of my bags in the June issue of Good Housekeeping magazine this year and I was also featured in the newest Amy Butler software. My stuff is in the inspiration gallery. I have also been busy getting my bags into some great boutiques along the East Coast."
Mama Snow-What is one of your favorite creations?
Carissa-"I love making backpacks, but recently did one in Amy Butler's Water Lotus that I loved."
"I am hoping to get some fall colors and prints into the shop in the next few weeks. I have also been thinking about experimentiing with leather. I think it would be cool to do some bags with beautiful leather on the outside and fun, bright prints on the inside."
Discount:
Carissa Black is offering 10% off your entire order when you mention "Catch the Drift with Mama Snow" in the notes to seller at checkout.

Anytime Costumes review and giveaway! CLOSED
Halloween is nearly here and do I have great giveaways in store for you. Even though this review/giveaway is being hosted before my "Halloween-a-palooza" event (Oct. 6 - Oct. 18), It is one I couldn't pass up. I love halloween. My favorite part has to be the costumes. I just love being creative and dressing up.
While searching for that perfect halloween costume you will want to stop by Anytime Costumes. At Anytime Costumes you will find thousands of costumes and costume accessories to choose from. You won't have walk around for hours trying to find what you want because everything is right at your finger tips. Everything is catagorized by themes and sizes, you can find several costumes you love within a matter of minutes. They even have a page that features "couples costumes", "group ideas" and even "pet costumes". What make Anytime Costumes different from most halloween stores is that they are available throughout the whole year. They can provide you with the costume you want and when you want it. They also do same day shipping for order made before 2pm EST (Monday-Friday).
Anytime Costumes sent my son the "Child Batman with Molded Chest". The costume arrived fast and in perfect condition. This is one of the best batman costumes I have seen. I especially like the molded chest. My son thinks he is so strong in his Batman costume with all it's muscles. I personally think he is absolutely adorable in it. What makes this a great costume for my toddler is that the mask is very breathable and easy to see through. The mask is also attached to the cape, which allows the child to remove the mask without misplacing it.
Giveaway:
One winner will receive any Infant, Toddler, Child or Teen costume they like.
To Enter:
Visit Anytime Costumes and tell me a costume you would like to have. (This is a MUST)
