The lovely Hue and Hum is having an incredible Art Sale. In honor of Mother's Day Caitlin will be offering a big "pay what you want" mothers day print sale!! It's going to be amazing and you will definitely want to take part. You get to pay what you want! What more could you ask for?? If you'd like to get more info, you can check out Hue's post here. Let me just say that I have one of her prints and it is simply magical.

Weekend Wrap Up

Friday I went to a little thing my school calls Class Night. It's basically a time when everyone gets dressed up, goes to see a presentation of sorts and then goes out. I had never been in my three years here, so I decided to give it a shot. It was pretty fun after-all^_^

Saturday I got to go on a shoot with one of my very talented friends!! It was a blast and she got some great shots! I've still yet to see all of them, but I'll try and share a peek soon!

Today I got to go to the Antique Mall {my fave one} and I got such a great deal on some pretty fab items! Then the Mr and I went to a fun furniture place! It was nothing but one of a kind items that had the most perfect mirror ever! I didn't snag a photo of it though:( Next time!

That's all for now lovelies! Hope your weekend was eventful! Some pretty exciting things are happening this week! Namely, this month's Sponsor Love Giveaway!! OH and speaking of giveaways, I'm holding one over at Crafted Love, you should go take a peek!

Meet and Greet

It's that time to get to know our lovely sponsors!! I thought it would be fun if we asked them a each a question and have them share with you their responses^_^
The question was "If you could only do one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?"


Garden of Eden answered. . . 
"One thing for the rest of my life... that's tough. I love to paint. I love to sew. I even like to clean... but overall, I don't think I can go a day without laughing. I am one of those people who laughs at her own jokes... even when no one else is laughing! ...Can laughter be my biggest passion in life?"

Chikie Dee answered. . .
"Geez, this is so difficult, because I love to create everything from stop-motion animations to sewing.  But, if I could only do one thing for the rest of my life, I would quilt!  I love how each quilt comes out completely different and they are so functional.  I don't think that I'd get bored, because no two would be alike!  Plus, they always make super gifts for my friends and family."

"If I could only do one thing for the rest of my life, it would have to be...ohmygoodness, how hard is it to pick one thing? I go a little crazy dabbling from project to project to keep things fresh, but I'd be super-happy making things with my hands out of paper forever and ever. It was my original crafty love, and it still remains. It's the way I express myself, artistically, now. It became much more than just memories and stickers long ago - it's an actual integral part of how I communicate with the world and de-stress and get things out. I have many passions, but creatively it's the tops!"

Dreams Are Necessary answered. . .
"I love to create! If I could only do one thing, that would definitely be it. Whether it's sewing, drawing or writing. I love them all, and would find it very hard to live with out them!"

Sponsor: Be One of a Kind

I would like to introduce you to one of our lovely sponsors! Her name is Victoria and she has been a joy to have around this month! 
"Hello there! My name is Victoria and I am a student of fashion merchandising and attracted to all things pretty. I love to be daring, but can sometimes be shy. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason and I love to discover new and amazing things. My life's number one aspiration is to make the impossible, possible. It sounds like a very demanding goal, but in reality, I solve it by making my passions my guide. I love expressing myself and sharing my creativity, which is why I opened Garden of Eden Designs and the Be One of a Kind blog. Come stop by! The Garden would love to have you!"

She's just the sweetest! If you haven't already, you should go take a peek at her shop and blog^_^
And since we're talking about our incredible sponsors; tomorrow I will be sharing a very fun post including our sponsors! You're going to want to check back for sure! OH and the Sponsor Love Giveaway is only like a week away! eeeeee!! Can't wait! Have a wonderful night.
