NEW Set of Children's Prayer Cards & A Contest

First, today is the last day to enter 12 Days Mommy Moments Photography Challenge.  And since I have only entered one picture so far, I figured I better lump them all together in one post to just get it done!

Enjoy some eye candy for a minute. {Then scroll down at the end for a fun NEW product and a CONTEST!}

#5 - Just Can't Get Enough... of those EYES!

#3 - Depth of Field

#7 - Messy Moments

#1 - Where I Spend My Days

#6 "Objects... Vintage Suitcases ("Treasures") that make a great perch to sit on"

#2 - Puts a Smile on My Face

#8 - Makes You Go Yummm!

#12 - Thankful/Blessed

#4 - LOVE/True Love - Baby Girl's 1st Bouquet of Flowers

Check out the rest of the entries here:

And finally... I'm done with the NEW SET of prayer cards!  They are meant to help you pray more specifically for your children.  There are 26 different verses and cards - based around the entire alphabet.

The entire package will be for sale on Sunday.  The wall art will come in two sizes (8x10 and 5x7).  You will receive both with your purchase.  These make great borders in a homeschool room.  Or attach them to some string to make an educational (yet whimsical) banner!  They also make great scripture memory cards as the verses were chosen specifically as ones I want my children to memorize as they grow.  Verse that will help them be successful and look more like Jesus.

Then, you will also receive 26 prayer point cards.  These cards are meant for you - to help you pray more specifically for your children.  The cards coordinate with the wall art. 

Focus on one letter per week to coordinate the education with the spiritual.  For only $10 for the entire set - it's practically a steal.

Now, you can't buy these downloads until Sunday - Mother's Day.  BUT, you CAN get one sent to you FREE.  Here's how:

• Head over to the Facebook page and share the preview image of the Prayer Cards with your friends.
• If you can get 10 friends to head to the BLB Facebook page and tag your name saying you sent them, then I'll send you the entire download set FREE!

Good luck!

 

Pick Your Plum Giveaway {48 hour giveaway}

Have you all heard of Pick Your Plum?  It's an incredible website that offers seriously sweet stuff at a major  discount. 

And it's something new EVERY DAY.  But the trick is to "get it before your neighbor does".  Don't hesistate because they often have a limited supply.  And once it's gone, it's gone!

Some days it's something to wear like this necklace of those leg/boot warmers.

The next day might be something crafty like baker's twine or fun tags.

Another day might be something personalized like this ribbon.

Every day is something new and something totally cute.  And guess what?  One of YOU are going to win $55 worth of Pick Your Plum awesomeness.  It's a surprise at what's actually going to be in the box, but with those images above as possibilities, you KNOW it's gonna be good!

The GREAT Pinterest Challenge ROUND TWO!!!

Ok BLB Readers!
Here is the info on the next round of The Pinterest Challenge.

You'll notice a few differences:
FOUR bloggers are involved!!

We are EACH hosting a different category of the challenge
{No more recipes being judged against crafts, etc...}
{You can enter one OR all of the categories.}

Each category will have a prize package valued over $125!
{That will be announced on Monday... can't overwhelm you all at once!}

Can't wait to see your projects!

Out of an obsession for all things Pinterest,

and a need for motivation to get things done,

the Great Pinterest Challenge emerged in July 2011.

After the original Round 1 on Better Life Bags,

other bloggers were selected to join forces and host the challenge in different categories.

Heidi from Honeybear Lane

Ashlee from I'm Topsy Turvy 
Rebecca from Better Life Bags

and Kara from Happy Go Lucky

became the first official Pinheads.

Here's how the challenge works.

Prize Package Announcement coming soon...

Happy Pinning!

Pinterest Challenge Complete!

 Happy Saturday!

Here's what my Saturday morning view looks like:

The Pinterest Challenge voting ended last night while I was peacefully dreaming about more DIY projects I want to complete.

I can hardly believe that it's OVER!

Your projects were incredible, and I was so pleased with how many of your joined up and voted for your favorite.

It became pretty heated between two different projects:

Steph's Baby Bib:

and Stephanie's Reading Nook:

In the end, the winner was Stephanie with her ever so clever closet turned into reading nook!

Congrats Stephanie!

Email me with your bag order!!

And I have to give mad props to Steph (with her baby bibs) for all the recruiting and promoting she did!

She went crazy posting on all different sorts of walls and pages to get people to come vote.

That's the way to win!!

You were so close, Steph!

Want another round?!

Applique Away!

We've been having some internet difficulties this week - hence the lack of posts.

I think it might finally be fixed, though!

In the mean time, I've been planning a really fun Saturday Blog Event called:

Scrap Happy Saturday!

It starts THIS Saturday and I want YOU to participate in it!

So, come back in 2 days to see what it's all about!

For now, I wanted to share a really fun contest my friend, Heidi is sponsoring.

It's called "Applique Away!"

Click on the button to the right to see how to enter and what all the great prizes will be!

Here's a sneak peak at what I entered in the contest.

(I can't show you the whole picture because it also contributes to the first Scrap Happy Saturday)

See you on Saturday!!
