Giveaway!

Good morning readers and happy Friday!

For the past week or so, Wild Olive has been hosting a 'tea-party' with a blog full of baking and crafting tutorials. As a grande finale, she's giving away a miniature tea-set painted by the blogger herself!

How cute is that? 

I love the colors that she chose and the little faces add character to the whole set.

Made Just for You Giveaway

So this morning I said we were going to celebrate 50 followers with a giveaway. 

All afternoon I thought and thought about what the giveaway should be. After several hours of brainstorming and shopping for "the perfect item", 

it hit me.

The winner of this giveaway will receive an e-mail from me with a series of questions. 

After I get to know you a little bit better I will custom make something awesome just for you!

It could be anything, but it will be made to fit you and your personality like a glove.

The contest is now open and will close April 9th at midnight. 

You may submit as many entries as you would like to increase your chances of winning.

50 Followers!

I was totally excited last night when I logged on to my blogger account and saw that I now have 50 followers!

I started the Miss Yellow Shoes blog about a year ago; but it took me quite a while to get the hang of things.

(still learning)

I loved reading blogs about other crafty people and watching them upload videos, tutorials, and pictures. 

(never thinking I would ever write my own)

But here I am, about a year later and with 50 regular readers!

I think this is a cause for celebration.

I'll be uploading a giveaway later today so stick around!

Show and Tell- Vida Doce

I wanted to do a special post just for my cousins. They have been into making jewelry since they were kids and now they have their own Etsy shop! Ally and Aubrey are very tallented and have made some really unique and gorgeous stuff!

Happy Holidays!

Have fun looking around our shop!

Because we travel all over the country, we are able to find great finds for a fraction of the price that you might find in your local stores. That way, we can give you the unique, quality jewelry that you have been wanting...at a budget friendly price you can afford.So we hope you have as much fun checking out our selection of handmade items as we had making them!

Our shop name was inspired by our trips to Brazil and by the special friendships that we made there. So for all our friends in far away places and the sweet memories we have with them, it truly is a "sweet life".

Make sure to come back and visit us and look for our new items which we will be listing soon!

Have a "sweet life" filled with your own sweet memories of love and friendship!

Love,

Becky, Allegra, and Aubrey

What's Going On?

So, for all my followers out there (and I know there aren't that many just yet), I must explain the lack of posts in the past few weeks.
I have been dealing with some unknown illness for some time and have decided that it was best to spend my spare time resting in bed. I have not fully recovered but decided that it was time to return to my normal activities of photography, blogging, crafting, and baking. 


Updates...


Contest Winner
The giveaway winner was Nicole. Her prize will be sent out shortly. Enjoy your gift Nicole and congratulations! Please e-mail me your address at brittany.nicole@ni.edu. 


Etsy
I've had my etsy shop up for a wee bit of time. I will be crafting more items to add to my shop stock shortly. Please stop on by and have a look, if you see something that may interest a friend please tell them about it. I'm just a poor college girl trying to pay for a good education and any little bit helps.

Crafting
I'm currently sewing a quilt, sewing 3 notebook covers (custom order), and knitting a hat. I'll post pictures of the finished products later. So stay tunned! 


Shopping
I've recently shopped at second hands stores and garage sales and uncovered a few treasures. You'll have to stay tunned for that blog update. :-)


Until then...thank you all for being so patient while I've been sick. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 


Later!

Hey Ya'll! 

Happy to announce that Mike and I made it home safe and sound AND on time (hooray!) and he's doing much much better now. He just started eating again (after about a week of not eating) which will help with all the weight he's lost the past week. 

Anyway, I'll be getting my etsy shop all set up tomorrow (hopefully) and baking up some goodies in the kitchen. 

But, until those updates and posts...check out this giveaway I found on one of my favorite blogs.
