Now, onto the last vendors for the giveaway...

First featured vendor is Beanstalk Loft.  She is generously giving away one 7.5x10 Washi tape / word art (says "write") lined composition notebook.  She loves to create calligraphy.... name, scripture, word, or phrase Art for wall decor, signs, notebooks and soon to be envelope addressing. She also hand paints wooden peg people.  Visit her facebook page and Etsy shop to see all her creations.

Next we have a very generous donation from Carissa at Johann'a Closet. She is another tallented tester over at Ellie Inspired.  Look at these beautiful outfits she has created below.  She has donated a $35 Shop Credit, which can be used by placing an order through her on facebook or used in her Esty shop.  Make sure you stop by and check out more of her beautiful creations!!

 

 

Have I mentioned before how much I love working with all the testers over at Ellie Inspired.  This giveaway would not be nearly as great without all of their awesome donations!!  Laura from Stitched by Laura has donated a personalize keychain, similar to the one pictured below.  The winner of this keychain will be able to pick from an album of available fabric.

 

 

 

 

Second to last vendor is from Leah over at Whiffy Bean Bags.  She has donated "Whiffy Ice", which is a 4x4 bean bag filled with flax seed and dried lavender. It is made of cotton and satin.  It can be kept in the freezer or can be heated in the microwave. These are a great option for "boo boo bags"!!  Please stop by her facebook page to see what else she has to offer!!

 

 



Last, but not least, of our vendors is Katie from My Little Monsters.  She has created some awesome website designs, logos and so much more!!  She customizes in webdesign, printables, social network designs, invitations, pretty much anything digital.  She is going to be creating a new logo and website for me and I can't wait to see what she comes up.  She is great to work and comes highly recommended!!  If you are in the market for any of the above, please visit her facebook page and website to see samples of her work.  She has generously donated a custom one of a kind Business Card design (printing not included).

Remember to check back Thursday to see if you are one of the winners.  Winners will be posted on the ORIGINAL blog post for the giveaway.  Winners most likely won't be posted until Thursday night.  You will have until Saturday midnight to contact me to claim your prize!!

 

Happy Wednesday!!
