A piece of my quilt for YOU!

By 5 Comments

***This giveaway is now closed.  Stay tuned for more giveaways from Dancing Zebras!!***

Today, I want to say thank you to all my new “bloggy” friends, blog readers, twitter followers, and FB “likes”.  Thank you!!!  I have loved reading your comments, blog hoping, and joining “craft parties”!  I’m still learning the lingo, so please forgive me if I called something the wrong thing!  I have gotten to read and see some incredible blogs, and it’s fueling this little fire in me.  There is something so fun and attractive about the blogging community.  I’ve had this blog for about four years now, but I am just now branching out and discovering all that is possible with a blog.  I love it!  Thank you for your support and encouragement as I have fun!

As a small thank you, I want to give away three little hair bows that I have made with scraps from my rag quilt.

I heard so many sweet, encouraging comments about my new quilt.  I thought I could share a piece of it with three of you, by giving away these bows.  The yo-yo flowers were made with scraps from my quilt, and I then threw in a little tulle and a button to top them off.

Each one is fun and could give a little vintage or shabby chic taste to an outfit!  I hope you all like them as much as I do!  Reagan is going to need some new hair bows after I post this post.  🙂

All you have to do to enter this giveaway is leave a comment saying (in order from most to least) which bow you would like to win!  I will than randomly draw three of your names and the first person picked will get his/her first choice, second person might get his/her first choice or his/her second/third choice. It depends on what the first person’s first choice was.  It’s the same process for the third name drawn.  Does that make sense?  Anyway, three of you will WIN a hair bow!

For additional entries, go like my Dancing Zebras facebook page and let me know you did on here!  Good luck!!

This contest will end one week from today.  Tuesday, July 24, 2012 will be your last day to enter to try to win one of these bows!  I will announce the winner on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.

Thank you to ALL of you once again!!  I feel so honored and humbled that people would want to give some of their precious time to read what I have to say.  Thank you so much!!

And on a little sidenote…My beautiful niece, Charleigh, (whose mama, Olivia,  I run Dancing Zebras with) is one today!!  Happy birthday sweet girl!!  I adore you!!  Sis, give that baby a kiss from me!!

Wood Love Blocks

By 6 Comments

These little love blocks were the second part to our shower gift from last  Saturday.  My brother is an insanely talented furniture maker.  I will do a whole post some time to his crafty ways.  He was throwing out scraps and asked me if I wanted these wood blocks for something and I sad “yes!”.

I love how to most people they would have been seen as trash, but our creative eyes knew they could become something great!  Here is my process of transferring them into the gem they now are…

I think Jennifer and Seth really liked them.  By the way, aren’t they cute!?!

They just closed two days ago on their first house, we are so excited for this sweet couple!!

I love how the blocks were a fun, simple decoration to my food display for the party and were also a gift to them.

I made another decoration, these little Mr. and Mrs. hanging signs…

This sweet decoration could be YOURS if you want.  I just uploaded them into my etsy store for your purchase, so go get them before they are gone!  To view this sweet Mr. and Mrs. decor as well as my other Dancing Zebras items just click my blog BUTTON below…

(Thank you so much Erin at DIYonthecheap for making this button for me!!  You’re awesome!!)

We had a great time hosting the shower.  I love reasons to make stuff.  As if I need a reason!!  Thanks so much for checking in on this week’s Friday Project Spotlight.

Here I am with the sweet bride to be!

I’d love to hear what you are thinking on my project spotlight series!?  Should I keep this up???  I love comments!!  Hope you all have a great weekend!!

This project is linked up at My Romantic Home’s Show and Tell Friday, The Frugal Girl’s Chic and Craft Party, At The Picket Fence, Redoux Interiors, Stuff and Nonsense, Common Ground, Transformation Tuesday at The Iron Nest, I Heart Nap Time, and One Creative Mommy.

A gift for…YOU!

Ok, really it is more for your girl or maybe a little girl that you love!

I have been blogging more, and I don’t really know why.  I know I am more an internal processor and I think  it’s helping me to dissect some of these changes in my life by typing it out.  Thank you all for barring with me and reading this thing!

Your encouraging words, comments, texts, and messages (based on stuff I have written) has been a little wind in my sail!

As a thank you, this is my gift to one of you!  All you have to do is simply leave a comment with your email, full name, or some way for me to contact you to get your address if you are the winner!  On Wednesday, I will randomly draw one of your names out of a hat, and you will get this beautiful bow in the mail…FREE!

I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day celebrating the moms in your life!!  I love you all!

Thank you!!!

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family that have bought a superhero cape from me in the last week!!  I am so proud to say all my current orders have been made and delivered (or on the way to being delivered).

Since writing that post about Capes for a Cause, I have uploaded some capes to my etsy store, Dancing Zebras.  If you know anyone that would like to buy a cape, I thought they might feel more comfortable buying it through my site rather than emailing a stranger!  Feel free to pass the following links on:

Superhero Cape

Infant Superhero Cape

Girl’s Superhero Cape with a Hair Bow

I will be trying to get some hair bows and other random things back up on the site as well!  So keep checking it!

Thank you so much for reading this, possibly sending it on, and playing a role in helping/caring to promote my cause!!  I am proud to say I have some money in my CA can for my plane ticket!
