I did want to pop in and let you all know about a giveaway going on at Sweet Tiny Blessings.  Mandi is hosting a Delightful Designs giveaway and someone is going to win a blog makeover!  So make sure to head over there to enter.

Feature: Crafty FL Cowgirl

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am so very excited to be involved in my first ever blog crawl!  Thank You to Nikki and Jill for putting this together!  I am a mother of two busy little girls and we live on a farm.  Life around here is never boring!  We have horses, cattle, dogs, bunnies, and chickens.

I will be giving away a bow of your choice!  Pictures can be seen on facebook, my blog, and my etsy shop.

I started making hair bows after my first daughter was born because I saw all the bows in the boutuqies and they were too expensive.  My friends saw them and started asking me to make some for there little girls.  This has just evolved from there.  I also make custom bows and hair peices for weddings and formal events.  I am in LOVE with all of the diffrent ribbon designs and the many many diffrent things that can be done with it.

Giveaway Winner

I recently had a giveaway over at Stay Calm Cupcake, and the winner would receive one free graphic of their choice.

The winner was Stephanie of SuckersbySteph.  She has an adorable (and yummy looking) Etsy shop where she sells chocolate suckers!

Stephanie decided she wanted an ad that she could use to advertise on other blogs.  I love the look of old fashioned lollipops, and since she does such a variety of different shapes, I thought it might be best to go with something generic.  So here is what we came up with!

Thanks so much Stephanie!  You were great to work with!
