Necklace Giveaway!

Hi all!  Hope your Friday is going well.  We finally finished school here yesterday, so we have spent most of today trying to reorganize the classroom/office.  Just wanted to remind everyone you only have a few more days to enter the giveaway for a Cicale T Designs necklace.  This one, in fact...


Here is a little information about the wonderful designer, Tami Cicale. She has always had a love for design and creating unique spaces and that passion translated into jewelry design about a year ago after attending a party where everyone was buying the same overpriced pieces. She started by taking jewelry making classses and her passion has grown from there. Her pieces incorporate only the highest quality materials: stones, gems, crystals and metals. Best of all, she only makes one of each piece -- they are all ORIGINALS! She has shown and sold her work in the Maryland/ Washington DC area, Florida and New York and is now expanding her clientele via the Etsy community. You can check out her site HERE. To me, what makes her even work even more amazing, is she has a full-time job, is a wife and a mommy. Kuddos to anyone who can balance it all and put their creative energy to good use!

The contest runs through May 18th at midnight EST. The winner will be chosen on May 19, my mom's big birthday!!




To enter:


You must follow this blog (let me know if you already do) and comment below about your favorite piece from Cicale T Designs.

For one (1) extra entry each you can share this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter (@4kidlets) or on your own blog with a copy of the link here. Just let me know the number of entries.

Good luck to all!! TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

Lazy Days of Summer?

Hi all!  Hope this finds all of you doing well.  Crazy busy here!  Today is Ittybit's last day of preschool and Eldest Son may actually finish 5th grade today -- we'll see.  I've never seen anyone take so long to finish up a year!!  I think his head is already on summer break, so getting him to finish up these last three exams is darn near impossible!!!

Just wanted to remind you time is running out on my necklace giveaway, so enter now.  Just click HERE for the details.  Also, today is the second day of Fabulous Fun Finds silent auction.  Go check it out!  There are several items I'll be placing bids on later in the day!!

Well, better run and get our picnic ready for this afternoon.  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

OMG! Where Did the Day Go?

Hi all!  Didn't I just wake up?  How can it already be late afternoon?!  Argh!  Now that it's getting close to making dinner time, I only have a few moments to share a couple of things with you.  First of all, here is a great link to The Life of a Suburban Princess and her monogram giveaway.  You must check it out!!

Also, I found the cutest site for sending the most adorable email stationery!  Please check out Paperless Post.  In fact, I just sent a friend a gorgeous thank you email and didn't feel too guilty that it was "only" an email.  You can design the cards and the envelopes, etc.  They also offer email invitations, as well as other stationery.  While not the same as putting pen to paper, it is far better than a plain email.  I know some of my friends would just love to receive letters only this way!  Think of how green you could be.

Please don't forget that starting tomorrow Fabulous Fun Finds will be starting their silent auction to benefit her sister's family which lost their daughter to SIDS in March.  As I said yesterday, I'll be bidding!  Also, don't forget about my giveaway that ends on May 18.  Click HERE for the details!

Well, got to go and make dinner -- spaghetti, meatballs and sausages!  Yum, yum!!  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

Marvelous Monday

Hi all!  Hope your weekend was wonderful and, for all my mommy friends, I hope your Mother's Day was fab.  Eldest Son made me the cutest chocolate frogs and we got some new furniture to go out on the deck! 


Sorry for thr poor quality of the picture.

In case you didn't know, I LOVE frogs!!  Actually, that's an understatement.  Hey, new blog idea, how to incorporate frogs into almost everything!  Luckily, Lilly Pulitzer helps feed into my obsession collection. Maybe I'll do this later in the week.  I'm also planning a post about prep scool with plenty of pictures of what I wore in high school.  Just haven't had the time to get all the memorabilia out.

Just a quick reminder that Fabulous Fun Finds will be holding their silent auction May 12-13 to benefit her sister's family who lost their daughter to SIDS in March.  For more information you can go HERE.  I know I'll be bidding on a few items!!  2 Preppy Girls has donated some fun items to the auction, as has Cicale T Designs, who is also sponsoring my giveaway.  Which reminds me, you can go HERE for all the information on the giveaway. TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim
