You Can Make This...(The Name Pillow) review/giveaway! CLOSED

I have been very excited to share with you this next giveaway. I have been a fan of "You Can Make This" for a while now. I am always eyeing their shop and the variety of projects they have available. I don't even know where to start with what they have available. Their is sewing, graphics, photography, shoes... I could go on and on. You can find practically anything you are wanting to find instruction and directions for. This site is a MUST SEE!

I was recently contacted by Courtney, from "You Can Make This" about spotlighting their favorite book, The Personalized Name Pillow pattern. Because of timing and my overbooked schedule, I informed them I would not be able to make the pillow at this time. They were very generous and still sent me a copy to have. Let me assure you, I will be making these when I have a moment to spare. The Personalized Name Pillow is super cute and I feel confident I can accomplish this project from the easy detailed instructions.

I am no pro-seamstress, but I do love to sew. I have made bedding and costumes for my family. Being the visual person that I am I seem to struggle following written instructions. I am always wishing they would use better and more pictures. You Can Make This uses "Real" photos of their step by step instructions. It is so nice to really see and understand what the instructions are trying to say. If you are worried about the letters for your name turning out right, don't worry. There is a patter for each letter provided in the book, which is available to print as the actual needed size. You cannot mess up "You Can Make This" patterns. These books are made for the least experienced and the struggling seamstress like myself.

You Can Make This is really feeling generous these days as they are also offering two readers "The Personalized Name Pillow" book. Yes, 2 winners!!!

Baobab $50 Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

The best children clothes are designed by mom themselves. That is what Baobab clothing is so great. Baobab's clothing designer, Belinda Blooman, is a mom herself. She knew the importance of making modern and comfortable clothes lasting. At first Baobab was created to give parents clothes that were easy for their kids to wear. Clothes that would allow their children to move, run and stay active. Eventually Baobab grew into the mini fashion brand it deserved.



As you look through Boabab's collection you will see they have a great selection of simple and fun graphics prints and designs. All the fabric they use is 100% cotton.

Although Baobab is located in Australia they ship globally. For this reason you will find they have excellent prices. Baobab also carries all seasonal clothing at the same time. This caters to the global customer or local costumer who travels a lot.

Giveaway: One lucky winner will win a $50 gift voucher to spend online at Baobab.

To Enter: YOU MUST visit Baobab, look around and then leave me a comment telling me what you want to buy.

Before I announce the winners I am just dying to share a few words with you all. I REALLY do check to see if you are a REAL subscriber, REALLY have my button, REALLY tweeted and REALLY did the mandatory entry. It doesn't take that long to look these details up people. If you did not follow directions or tried to sneak an entry in... sorry, you just waisted your time. The prize will just slip right out of your hands and on to the REAL winner. I will not point fingers, but sadly in these contest the first winners chosen, neither followed directions or did not honestly put down a correct entry. Shame on you!

Modbe Swimsuit review!

Remember a while back the great giveaway we hosted for Modbe? Since then I've been dying to get my hands on one of their cute swimsuits. It took me a while to decide from all the great choices which one I wanted. Once chosen, I anxiously waited for my suit to be delivered. I chose the Knot Top Solid Blue and the Black Polka dot bottoms. I received it right before my cruise and was so excited to put it on. This swimsuit is awesome and I love the adjustable cinchable side ruching. Not only does it look stylish, but it covers up my mommy tummy. I also liked how the swimsuit was long enough to cover those lovely stretch marks on my belly (I really do love my kiddo's ;0)). I felt so comfortable wearing it and I did not have to feel overly cautious about showing too much of my imperfect body. This is NOT one of those swimsuits that will slowly move up over your belly without you knowing. It stays where it is suppose to. Even my upper body above the waist stayed where I wanted it to. This swimsuit had a shelf bra with an underwire for support. Seriously, what else could I ask for.

All of Modbe's swimsuits are made to cover those areas you may feel uncomfortable in showing the world. They are made to last and you won't be dissapointed. Summer is just around the corner and you don't want to be left with slim pickings in the swimsuit department. This is the mistake I make each year. I wait until last minute and then all is sold out or what is left leaves me wanting to purchase more to cover it up at the pool.


Enjoy your summer and while your thinking about all the fun in the sun, go check out Modbe swimwear. If you have any questions you can contact Jillian Smith (jillyansmith@hotmail.com), Modbe consultant, for more info on Modbe Clothing.
