Shop Update, Giveaway, & Real People In Love!

I have a couple of fun things to share with you today!!

1. I just put this new art print in the shop yesterday. It's one of my favorite paintings, I currently have it displayed in my living room waiting for a new home. If you aren't ready to buy artwork, art prints are a great way to get unique artwork at a more affordable rate.

2. If you looooove my paintings and want the chance to win something cute, hop over to Yellow Songbird sponsor giveaway and enter to win! You could win ANY painting or print from my shop plus, some other cute goodies from some other lovely shops!

3. Speaking of giveaways I'm 9 followers away from having a fun giveaway here on No Wooden Spoons! If you're a un-official follower click "follow" over there on Google Friend Connect. I've got some fun goodies I'm wanting to share with you readers! Come on 200 followers!

4. Also, I've gotten the honor to share our love story over on Adventures In Love and Happiness.

Cole has this super sweet feature where she spotlights couples in love. "Real People In Love". Read more about our love story here. Find out how we met, how long we've been together (probably longer than you would guess!), how we felt on our wedding day, and how we make it work!

It's our weekend, yay for crazy schedules!

I'm off for some crazy cuddle time on the couch!

48 hour Mini Giveaway!!

Remember my post about Wreck This Journal from earlier today? Well, guess what?! I'M GIVING ONE AWAY!!! :) 

(haha I look a little crazy!!)

Yep, this is a mini (48 hour) giveaway! 

I know a few readers thought it would be fun to have one, and I wish I could send one out to everyone who wants one, but I'm only giving away ONE. I know some of you  already have one, but it could be a fun gift to give, so even if you have one, you can still enter to win. 

**To enter: All you have to do is post a comment below!

(Since this is a mini giveaway, I'm only accepting one entry per person.)

The giveaway will end Friday (12th) at 5 pm (central time). That's only about 48 hours from now! 

I'll post the winner later that night!

And, some of you asked if I was going to be posting my progress along the way. The answer is yes, I'll be blogging my journal's demise!  I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to share of what all I put my journal through. I'm excited and nervous to get started. I hope whoever wins the journal will share their journals progress too!

Good luck!! :)
