Giveaway & First Show Recap!

Well, we survived the Holiday Galleria weekend, and I had fun making new friends while trying my hand at selling one of my products. First off, I want to say how proud I am of my friend Paige for pulling the weekend off and for all of my other friends who helped her make it happen - good work ladies, I know you worked hard! Secondly, I want to say thank you to Lisa and Kasey for letting me sell my hair ties at their charming booth. It was fun helping them out and learning about their cool products. Look how great the booth they put together was:

 

I myself purchased the Blue Spruce & Jasmine Candle from Milk + Honey Candles and a gorgeous yoga mat from Optimistic Elephant. The candle, burned and smells amazing. The yoga mat, I'm so excited to show it off in my next barre class. Third, I need to thank my mother and husband for their encouragement and helping me put together the packs of hair ties. They must really love me!

Now, as a thank you for all your support and to celebrate getting through the week, I'm going to give away a pack of my Halloween hair ties! They will be fun to wear before and after the spooky holiday! Please enter and share with your friends (you might have to wait a minute for the rafflecopter to appear under the picture):

Countdown Christmas Wreath

This year for Holiday Galleria I decided to donate a wreath to the wreath silent auction and wanted to do something fun and different. I thought through a lot of ideas and before I knew it, it was the Sunday before the big weekend. Crunch time! I decided to go with my countdown present idea and I'm so glad I did:

I fount those cute little goody bags and they were the perfect size. I then used a gold leaf paint pen to write the dates. It was really fun coming up with the cute goodies to put inside the bags. I got the inspiration from the countdown presents my Aunt Mary used to send me every year while I was in college - every year! My friends would be so jealous because I got to open up a cute gift every day. Loved it! I figured someone can buy this wreath for their daughter whose off at school or at home - seriously the gifts really work for a girl at any age. There are lots of hair ties & headbands (of course!), bracelets and little beauty finds. I also found some cute crafty things like mini gel pens and washi tape. And lastly, I threw in some mints and gum because those are great to stock up on. They are little things that can brighten your day - everyone loves a little present!

Tonight at Premiere Party, I was so excited to see my wreath hanging up on the wall. I also found The Plaid Giraffe's gorgeous wreath - love it!

Get down to Holiday Galleria, so you can put your bids in on some great wreaths - there are lots of fun ones. Also, get down there and do some shopping - my hair ties are at booth 84 Milk + Honey Candles & Optimistic Elephant booth! I finished up the headbands last night and they turned out really cute:

Happy Shopping! Good work to all of my gorgeous, fabulous friends who helped put the whole thing together!

Lots of Love,
