Happy Holidays!

Good Evening! Hope everyone everywhere is keeping warm and enjoying the Holiday season so far. I had hoped on posting weekly up until Christmas about great deals or fun recipes, but so far, no such luck! I guess between Craft Shows, candle orders, 4 little girls and trying to paint and redecorate, I kinda keep busy! :)

So from now until Christmas, if you visit Ozark Scents and make a purchase, you can take 15% off your entire order, every time you order until Christmas. Please place your order and at checkout when it asks for a coupon code enter... HOLIDAY15 to automatically get 15% off your order.

Happy Holidays!

Freaky Friday Finds!

This Freaky Friday Finds are all about decorating for Halloween or Fall. I found tons of really cute items on Etsy...it was hard to narrow it down to a few! I love decorating for each and every holiday and I usually do (my kids wouldn't let me get away with not doing so) but really I am such a kid at heart and I love it!

I still haven't decided what I am going to be for Halloween yet, of course my girls already have their costumes all picked out though! I think we are going to try to make costumes this year!! Yay!! I haven't sewn in years but I am willing to give it a shot...lets just hope we don't end up at a store on Halloween day picking through whats left because I can't sew! :) Hope you all enjoy!

Oh a Fall Favorite! and now a cute decor addtion! Check out PidgApegCottage for these cuties!

Isn't this BOO garland adorable! You can find it at SignatureExpressions.

Halloween just isn't complete without the Black Cat. You can find this spine raising little guy at Make Me Stuff.

Tricia's Hand Crafted Monogrammed Note Cards...An Etsy Review & Giveaway! (CLOSED WINNER ANNOUNCED)

Who doesn't appreciate the one of a kind beauty and thoughtfulness of a hand crafted note card? I know I sure do.

So does Tricia Richner, owner and creative mind behind Tricia's Hand Crafted Monogrammed Note Cards. You have to check out Tricia's elegant, stylish cards! You can find a card for any occasion at Tricia's, from baby announcements to Holiday cards to everyday note cards. All of her cards are high quality, made from acid free, lignin free, buffered Designer Series Paper and 80lb. Whisper white card stock. Each card comes with its own open end envelope, perfect fit for her cards. I am telling you these are very nicely made, quality cards.

Over the last couple of weeks I have gotten to know Tricia a little better through our Etsy Team- Busy Moms of Etsy-. I received one of her note cards (which I love) and now plan on buying more for Christmas! I received the Baja Breeze Blue card (pictured to the left) monogrammed with an "S". I can not say enough about how nice this card is. I don't know a lot about paper and making cards, but this is by far one of the nicest cards I have seen. It is thick, much thicker than most cards you buy at big box stores. The card looks perfect, the monogram and ribbon are perfectly lined up and although the monogram is slightly raised up, it is not going anywhere! A very sturdy yet absolutely elegant card. The patterns and colors are serene yet sophisticated. My card came to me packaged well, with a protective plastic covering, and lighting fast shipping! Overall a really great product!

If you are looking for beautiful everyday note cards or thinking of the upcoming Holiday season, Tricia has the perfect hand crafted card for you! Christmas is fast approaching and now is the time to start thinking of which lovely hand crafted cards you will be sending your loved ones this season. I love her Snowflake and Jeweled Merry Christmas cards (pictured to the left) and she has many more to choose from!

How would you like to have a set of Tricia's hand crafted cards? Well, she has generously agreed to give one of our readers a set of 6!!
