Another Rosette Necklace {Arizona "Mom's Nite Out" event giveaway}

Remember the simple rosette necklace I wore at the SNAP conference last month?  I made another one yesterday.

As much as I would love to wear this today, this necklace is for a giveaway at the Arizona Mom's Network "Mom's Nite Out" event in Gilbert, Arizona May 10.  If you live nearby you should come to the event to celebrate Mother's Day with friends, get lots of free stuff, meet fun people, and have a chance at winning this necklace!  Please check out the event page for more details.

Burlap Wreath Tutorial at the Arizona Moms Network

It's no secret that I love my burlap wreath with interchangeable velcro embellishments!  You can use the same idea to make any wreath interchangeable for the entire year but the burlap definitely stands out on my door.  Although the burlap wreath was not my own idea, I recently shared a tutorial yesterday at the Arizona Moms Network.  If you want to learn how to make your own pretty burlap wreath, see the entire post here. 

 

Arizona Moms Night Out event

Our blog sponsored a fun event last week.  I was really excited about being part of the Arizona Mom's Night Out!  I attended the event in May and met some really wonderful girls.  In addition to attending, this time I made a couple of pretty headbands to be included in the raffle.

I sat with Cristin of Crissy G.'s Designs.  We had a great time enjoying some kid free time together!

There were so many wonderful raffle items donated by local vendors.  I was very excited when I saw my name written on the winner board!  I ended up winning two prizes - a cookie jar and a gift certificate for a custom photo canvas. 

The cookie jar was donated by Paint Time Pottery and looks perfect in my kitchen!

The custom 12" x 16" canvas was donated by Faville Photo.  I was really excited to win this gift certificate.  I initially planned to have a drawn stick figure family picture my daughter created turned into a canvas for my office.  I changed my mind when I realized I hadn't printed any of our 2010 holiday pictures.  Jessica did a great job with our photos last year and I have been meaning to get a few framed.  This was the perfect opportunity to get one of those pictures up on our wall.  I emailed the picture to the print company Monday morning and was able to pick up the canvas today.  It turned out beautiful!

I hung it next to our 2009 holiday picture canvas (photos by Jessica, canvas by The Canvas People) and my favorite picture of me with my daughter (photos by Serenity Pictures).

Both events I've attended had a raffle designated specifically for Pray for Kate.  Beautiful little Kate lives in Arizona and is currently battling brain cancer.  It's wonderful to see our community pulling together to assist this sweet family.

I'm already looking forward to the next event.  If you're in Arizona, don't miss out on the fun!  Go check out the Arizona Moms Network and start getting email updates about their upcoming events. 

 

Get rid of those monsters hiding under the bed! AND a giveaway for Arizona moms!

We have recently ran into a big problem.  My two year old daughter says there are monsters in her room and demands to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed.  Hopefully I have found the cure...

Monster Spray!  It is the empty spray bottle that is guaranteed to keep monsters and all other imaginary scary things out of bedrooms at night.  I'm visiting the Arizona Moms Network today and shared this great project with a free printable label.  Go here to see my post and then explore their fun site!  Comments on my first guest post there would be super nice!

I met Morgan and Wendy at an Arizona Moms Night Out event a few months ago.  I stumbled upon the details for the event in our local newspaper and ended up going alone.  I'm so glad I made the decision to attend the event because I had a great time and met new wonderful friends!  You can read more about Morgan and Wendy here.  Did you know there will be another Moms Night Out in Gilbert, Arizona on August 18.  Definitely attend if you live in the Phoenix area and want to have a great night with some new friends.  I'll be there!  Need another awesome reason to go?  I'll be giving away some really pretty headbands!  There are so many prizes and you're likely to go home with something.  I won two prizes at the last event.  Pretty super duper awesome considering I hardly ever win anything! 

That's me with my name on the winner board!
