Jodi and Back40Life creates darling, amazing, and breath-taking vinyl wall decals. Whether you own or rent your home, they are easy to use and are easy to take off. I love the wide-range of available colors, plus the inspirational messages.

Take a stroll through her shop and you'll see the following...


New wood signs:




New phrases:



Timeless verses:



Vinyl wall art is a hot new trend in home decorating - super easy to apply and so much easier than paint & stenciling! Vinyls can be used with most any clean surface giving you that hand painted look and allowing the texture underneath to show up through the vinyl.

Back40Life decals are made from high quality matte vinyl that is rated to last 3 years outside and virtually forever indoors - you can decorate without the mess of paint & change out your decor easily whenever you're ready.



Wall vinyls can be incorporated into any style of room, which is another reason why they are so spectacular. Jodi is also able to customize a vinyl for you, your home, or your family.




I think this M stands for Maggie. What do you think? ;)



This quote is probably my favorite decal from Jodi's shop:

Jodi is offering $25 shop credit to one winner!

{Giveaway Day: White Satin Ribbon}

this giveaway is now closed!

Caution: this is super cute stuff!

Alaina, the gal behind White Satin Ribbon, is a full-time teacher that sews items for Baby and Mom :) Inside her shop you'll find Edgy burp cloths, Edgy bibs, and Edgy Mini Lovey's {little blankets for babes}.




What is Edgy, you ask? Edgy is a description of the item's edge -- every item has a frayed edge that is contained by an outside stitch:



As mentioned in her shop, the sweet baby burp cloths and bibs are made from flannel which allows it to cling to your clothing {to prevent slippage}.

And I quote Alaina, Missing spit-up is NOT fun!!!

So true.




I love the frayed edges and custom detailing on each item. I was at a baby shower last year and it's so fun to give gifts that are handmade. Especially cute ones like these :)




Here's are two Edgy Mini's. I love the quilted look to them and the fact that they are the perfect size for a child {approximately 15.5" x 15.5"}:

Alaina is offering one winner $20 shop credit!

{Giveaway Day: Monika Design}

this giveaway is now closed!

Yeow! It's time to introduce you to Monika Design, creator of THE MOST ADORABLE crocheted coasters. Monika offers great product, hands down. I love her shop. I've worked with Monika several times now and she is great.

Before this turns into a review, let me just show you her work.

I know my mom would love these coasters:

Monika also offers terrific packaging. So if you're considering giving her products as gifts, well, looks like you've found your gal:

I believe her coasters always come in sets of 4, but because Monika accepts custom and wholesale orders you can order as many as you want.

Hi, I'll take an order of 100, please.

Monika is offering one winner a set of 4 red apple coasters:

{Giveaway Day: Classicly Amber}

this giveaway is now closed!

Classicly Amber is a home-decor Etsy shop run by Amber. Inside her shop you'll find super cute, vintagy home-decor. One item in particular that caught my eye are the custom banners Amber makes. I heart them!

I want one that says GUSSY.



Look at some detail shots:



My eyes love the cream, pink, and glitter.



Amber also offers jewelry, like bracelets and necklaces. Both are feminine and vintage-like:



And, for all of you home-decor fans, Amber has some cuuuuuute pillows for you to fill your couch with. My mother-in-law has decorated her house with a flair of country farm. It's super cute and I think these pillows would be perfect on her 3-season porch:

Amber is offering one winner $25 shop credit.

{Giveaway Day: The Vintage Pearl}

this giveaway is now closed!

This next giveaway features The Vintage Pearl. Erin creates amazing hand-stamped jewelry, and I see her work all over the blog world! :) Her jewelry showcases the importance of family and love. However, you don't need me to tell you that. You can see for yourself:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe each and EVERY piece in her shop can be customized. She even offers birth-stone charms as an add-on for even more customization.

For Christmas, Zack gave me this circle of love bracelet. He asked Erin to stamp 6.7.08 {our wedding date} and two become one, a quote from our wedding sermon. AMAZING!!!

Erin is giving away $50 shop credit.
Ummm, are you excited?!

{Giveaway Day: Wired Whimsy}

this giveaway is now closed!

Christy is the creative gal behind Wired Whimsy. She is a stay-at-home-mom to two children whom she also home-schools.



I sort of fell into the jewelry designing thing by accident, she says. I made my first piece in August of 2009 and it was one of the first things I sold in my Etsy shop. It's a great way to earn a little extra money while devoting most of my time and energy to educating my children.

Look at this pair of earrings I found in her shop. The Amber-color of the beads has me all giddy for the spring and summer seasons.



Juicy Melons!

Christy is giving away a Love Potion Necklace and Earring Set:

Christy writes:

A large silver potion/perfume bottle, plum colored fresh water pearls, deep blue Czech glass beads, and large pink jade beads work beautifully together to make this a show-stopping set. Truly feminine and romantic, with a splash of whimsy, this set definitely compensates for a bad hair day.

The pendant measures approx. 2 3/4 inches long and hangs from a chain approx. 25 inches long and is adjustable.

The earrings are super long at approx. 3 1/2 inches in length. If your earrings don't slap you in the face when you turn your head, they simply are not fabulous enough :)
