just because studios giveaway
Giveaway #15
Our last Reader Appreciation giveaway! Wow, what a crazy week! We hope you enjoyed all our great giveaways from our generous sponsors. Be sure to check back next week for all our winners.
For our final giveaway we have another great photography package for the Seattle area. Just Because Studios does beautiful work inside and outside the studio. Photographer Melanie Smith says, "In times like these, it really becomes apparent what’s important in life. Family, time with family, memories from those great times… what’s more important than that?"
Melanie specializes in family and children's portrait photography in and around Seattle and Seattle's eastside (Sammamish, Redmond, Issaquah, Bellevue, Woodinville, and Kirkland). She takes a 'photo-journalistic' approach to capturing your child at play or capturing the way you interact together as a family. She will also throw in some 'posed' portraits in there along the way, too.
Just Because Studios is offering our Seattle area readers one indoor or outdoor photo sitting, two free 8x10s, and two free 5x7s (a $156 value!!). She hopes that these two items will give people some of that ‘together time’ that can slip away all too quickly! Thanks, Melanie!
To enter, check out the galleries on the Just Because Studios Web site and leave us a comment telling us whether you'd choose an indoor or outdoor setting, based on her portfolio. We think it's going to be a hard choice! Comments must be received by Wednesday, June 3 at 11:59pm PDT. Good luck, Seattleites!

christy's craft challenge giveaway
This is another totally unique giveaway that I know is going to be a hit! Have you heard about the Christy Nelson Craft Challenge? This fun blogger hosts a monthly craft challenge complete with fabulous prizes.

The supplies are sent right to your house so all you have to provide is the inspiration. She lets all of us out in blogland cast our votes for our favorite creation, and the winner receives the next month's challenge for free plus another prize (a different sponsor each month provides a prize for the winner). Then she chooses a winner from all the participants that choose to blog about their experience and gives them a prize, too!

Fourth of July Fun | Sophia's Style Boutique
It's that time of year. We're approaching the halfway mark of 2009 and the upcoming Independence Holiday. When looking for the perfect girls outfit for your summer get together, visit Sophias Style Children's Clothing Store.
Here are some tips to throw a fun and safe 4th of July party.
*Preparation - My tip for this is..LARGE trashcans with the extra large bags in there. If you have a couple of these handy, then cleanup will be a breeze. If your local regulations allow you to light off fireworks, make sure you have a large (5 gallon) bucket of water and another filled about halfway with sand. That will help in putting out sparklers or disposing of used fireworks. You'll need chairs but when you invite people, have them bring their own chairs. One less thing for you to drag out.
*Food - well, that's an easy one. Burgers and dogs on the BBQ is the standard. You can prepare in advance the toppings and have them sitting out for the people to grab. Chips are another staple of 4th of July fun. Dessert..now that's my favorite subject. You can easily just do watermelon or even some boxes of Popsicles. A always, make sure you tell people that they can bring items to lesson the load on you. Paper plates and plastic cups are the perfect utensils for this day. You can buy them in red, white and blue to help with the party theme.
*Invites - Just give everyone a holler. Tell the neighbors, your friends your family. Don't start the party too early, everyone will be exhausted by the time the big show starts.
When the time comes, sit back and enjoy our Nation's Independence. Make sure someone is keeping an eye on the kids (both large and small)!
Have another party tip or story? All you have to do is click here. I'd love to hear from you and we'll share your tips.
We here at Sophias Style Children's Clothing Store want to wish you and yours a safe and fun holiday.

carrie stroud photography giveaway
Giveaway #10
We know how much our readers love a good photography shoot giveaway. Here's one with a little spunk. Okay, a lot of spunk. I feel like I can hear Carrie Stroud speaking to me when I read her blog. And you feel like you know her subjects when you see her work. I can tell she is so much fun to work with. Check out some of her work:
Carrie photographs families and kids by capturing who they really are. How they live, laugh, blow kisses. She says, "I want to remember my child's scrunchy nose when they laugh, not a fake vinyl tree in the background and a pose that represents nothing about who they are as an individual. I capture them, and it absolutely thrills me to give that gift to others!" Yes, this girl really loves what she does.
Carrie works hard to capture her subjects' true personalities. "I don't like posed or perfect. Give me the sticky fingers and silly faces and I will truly jump and giggle. A photo shoot with me guarantees memories being captured. Possible side effects: I'll want to be your friend, chat about your day, and photograph your family forever. Hope you're okay with that."
Cute Carrie currently lives in Florida, but she will be scheduling sessions for Northern Utah and the surrounding Seattle area this year as well. So if you're in or near one of those three places, you should enter for a chance to win a photo shoot with Carrie ($125 value!), and maybe a new friend, too. Just leave us a comment telling us your favorite gallery on Carrie's Web site, and which location you would choose (Tallahasee area, Seattle area, or Northern Utah). This giveaway ends Wednesday, June 3 at 11:59pm PDT, so do it NOW. And if you're not able to enter, check out Carrie's Etsy shop for some gorgeous photos of everyday beauty. She's having a sale!

blue finch studios giveaway
Giveaway #8
In my dreams I am a graphic designer. I love fresh, clean design like Susan Young's of Blue Finch Studios. She is brilliant. Her line of distinct mini cards and printable stationery are totally charming. Some people have all the talent.
Blue Finch Studios specializes in two lines of stationery. First, Wee Tidings, which are mini note cards packaged in a jar. And man are they cute. I don't think I'd want to use them--they look too sweet in the jar! (Be sure to click on "view cards" at the bottom of each set to see all the cards.) They also offer a YOUprint line in their Etsy store. YOUprint, also known as printables, are print at home cards, gift tags and labels that you print on your home printer. You can use paper, card stock or sticker sheets to create what you'd like, when you need it. The best thing about YOUprint? You can print them over and over and over (and over).
Susan's designs are not only fresh and bright, but funny! Check out the "Text" line to use for teens and tweens, and the "Spicy" line, perfect for secret notes to that special someone.
Don't you love her color combinations?
And right now on the Blue Finch Studios Blog there's a free printable card, just for you! And rumor is there will be more where that came from, so go back often!
So besides the free card, you can also enter to win this darling giveaway from Blue Finch. It's the Kids Wee Tidings set! Our winner will get this glass jar filled with 12 mini cards, perfect for sneaking into lunch boxes and backpacks. Want to win it? You know the drill. Leave us a comment naming your favorite item from the Blue Finch Studios site or Etsy shop by Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm PDT. As Susan's cards would say, "Good Luck! {You can do it}!"
