How can you not...right?  I love their stuff!  If you remember earlier this year my daughter got baptized.  She wore this beautiful CTR necklace from Just Be...

Lucky lady!  Please email me with your info!

Valentine's Day Giveaway & Winners

Happy Valentine's Day!  It's all about sharing the love today.  I'm seriously in love with these hair accesories from Ryah Sofia.



"Ryah Sofia sells handmade headband's and clips for everyday wear. We sell a variety of colorful and unique headbands that can be worn any day and every day. We recently started our clothing label ~ MoMo- handmade clothing for everyday wear ~ where we currently have matching Tie and headband sets. We use only the best fabrics and ribbon and all of our products are made in the USA!"





ALL the appliques come attached to a snap clip, which makes them inter-changeable with any of the headbands or worn alone as a clip.  Such a great idea!



I'm a huge fan of coordinating outfits in my family.   Ryah Sofia's ties and hair accessories make me want to do a happy dance.  They make the task of coordinating simple.




Angie the gal behind Ryah Sofia has a pretty amazing heart.  A portion of the proceeds from Ryah Sofia go to benefit Nana's Box- a not for profit project dedicated to "fighting cancer one box at a time."  People who give make the world a better place to live in and Angie is one of those people. 


Angie has offered to giveaway a "Molly" applique (pictured above) with two headbands, one in black elastic and one in silver metal (value of $20.50) to my readers.

Congrats Erin!

Burlap Wreath Tutorial & Giveaway

It's Monday and it's not my favorite day of the week.  Let's think positive and start this week out happy by having a giveaway!  This week's giveaway is going to be this burlap wreath...

The giveaway will be simple.  There are three different ways to enter (1) Leave a comment.  I love comments they make me happy.  Feel free to leave your blog link so I can come check out what your creating! (2) Become an Awesome Person (follower).  If you are already an awesome person (which I'm sure you are) it's a freebie entry!  (3)  Blog, tweet or facebook about this post.

Good luck and leave a comment for each time you enter.  The winner will be announced Monday morning January 12, 2011.  Now some of you are saying "I never win anything".  Yeah that would be me.  My husband wins everything but I'm just not lucky.  Enter anyway because it's free!  Then if for some strange reason you don't win I'm going to show you exactly how to make this wreath below.

Burlap Wreath Tutorial

Grab yourself a wreath of some sort.  I used a 14 inch straw one because they are cheap and you won't even see what it looks like under the burlap.  Cut strips of burlap at 6 inch in your color of choice.  Put a strip of hot glue to hold the beginning strip of burlap.

Wrap your burlap around the wreath. I put a strip of hot glue every once in a while to make sure it would stay in place.

The next step is to loosely twist the burlap and start wrapping it around the wreath.

After I was done I made sure all the twists are to my liking and then put dots of glue under to hold.  I don't think it's necessary so you can skip that step in you choose.  I then put a dot of glue on the wreath and tucked in the end of the burlap.

There are a bunch of different ways to make the rosettes.  I've tried out a few.  I saw the style I have been using online somewhere but I can't find where.  If it looks familiar let me know and I'll link it to you.  Cut a strip of burlap about 3 inches wide

Fold the end in half.

Fold the end in half again.

Roll the end a few times until it looks like this...

Twist the burlap and start wrapping it around the roll.

Put some hot glue on an extra piece of burlap.

Put the rosette on the hot glue and tuck the end in.  I always burn myself on this step.  It never fails.

Cut around your rosette...

The back will look something like this...

To make the other style burlap flowers.  Follow THIS tutorial.  (Instead of an ornament shape I traced circles on a thin piece of chipboard and cut them out.)   I made 3 flowers of each style and then hot glued them to my wreath.

Your finished!!  I don't know what it is but when you make something yourself it looks 10x better than buying it at the store.

For those who don't care to make a burlap wreath but want one I will be selling them in my etsy store.

Don't forget to enter in the giveaway.  Have a happy Monday!!!
