On The Wish List + GIVEAWAY

wishlist_february

Hello, sweet readers!

Today I don’t have a new card to share, but I will have one later this week. I’m working on a couple items for the new release that’s happening on Saturday (mark your calendars!) and I’m really excited to share them with you all.

Some of you may remember a feature I did in the past….it’s my On the Wish List feature! I know it’s so easy to miss some of the items from stamp companies and when friends share what’s on their wish list, it can 1) remind you of items you forgot you wanted 2) introduce you to new items 3) be trouble for your wallet. *wink*

Here are the items that caught my eye this month….

This month, I decided to splurge a little bit and I actually purchased a few of the items I have listed. I’m still waiting for a few of them to come in, but when they do, I’ll do a haul video!

I’m so grateful for all of the support and love I’ve received lately, so I wanted to do something special…. you’ll have until Saturday, March 1st to leave a comment with your crafty wish list and I’ll announce a winner on Monday.

Thanks for stopping in today. Enjoy your Wednesday!

January Craft Haul

Hello, hello!

Just a quick little post and video sharing the items I purchased in the month of January. I never cease to be amazed by the response I get from these videos- this is proof that us crafty folk are inspired by each others purchases! I try to be strategic and think through each purchase, so hopefully anything that I share is worthwhile in the end. (I know there has been two exceptions that come to mind, but that’s not bad considering….)

Watch the video above    I    Watch the video on YouTube
 

Have you purchased anything craft related recently? Big or small hauls, I would love to read or see what you got. It’s always so fun when my friends post what they got on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve added items to my wish list after seeing my friends lists/ pictures!

In case any of the purchases have inspired you, the links are below. Sadly, it looks like the boy version of the Dots & Stripes pack is no longer available now.

Happy shopping!

Taking Pre-Orders!

As I’ve mentioned in a few posts, I’m working behind-the-scenes on several things coming to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Since we all know I’m horrible at keeping secrets, I’ve been sharing some sneak peek photos on my different social media sites. It’s been so fun to hear your thoughts and see your excitement!

I’m working on a big surprise that will be revealed on January 3rd, but I wanted to share something with you all now…it’s almost like an early Christmas present for you. *wink*

I just approved samples of these adorable wooden spools with colored twine and I wanted to give you the opportunity to order them, before they’re available to the public.

twine25 yards per spool (each one hand spooled). 4 ply, 100% plush cotton twine

These beautiful colors will be available individually starting in January for $2.50 a spool. You’re getting a 25% savings if you purchase the 10 pack!

Interested in purchasing a pack or two (or three or four)? Leave a comment with your Paypal address, or send me an email stating how many packs you would like, along with the country you live in (for shipping rates) and I’ll send over a Paypal invoice!

In closing, I also wanted to mention that there’s 10 more days to take advantage of this 10% savings coupon on all items in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. (Not applicable to twine bundle)save10

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I’m thrilled because I finally get to go into my studio to craft, and maybe even finish editing my December haul video. Talk with you all soon!

I hope that you’ll be able to take advantage of these great savings! I’ve already done a little bit of shopping for myself and now it’s time to tackle Christmas presents for others. Let the holiday fun begin!

If you purchase anything, whether they be from the links I listed or not, I would love to read about them! Did you brave the lines and shop at some stores, or did you do it in the comfort of your home (like I did)?

I’ll be back on Sunday for the grand opening blog hop of the shop. See you then!

Mark Your Calendars!

shop_As many of you know, I’ve been working on tirelessly on the Pretty Pink Posh shop these last few weeks. I’ve gotten all sorts of fun shipments in and I’ve been up many late nights get photos and things ready for the grand opening. Mark your calendars: December 1st will be a big day here on the blog (and in the shop) as we officially launch. I’ll have some special guests joining along with gorgeous samples, there will be giveaways and I’m also working on doing something extra special for the opening.

If you follow me on my social media sites, you’ve seen these pictures already, but for those who just follow my blog, I wanted to share a couple here as well. As you’ll see, I’ve been having all sorts of fun with the sequins- seriously, it’s like a sequin volcano exploded in my studio. I’ve also been working on samples featuring the other products and they rank right up there with the sequins.

behindthescenesNow I  mentioned above that the OFFICIAL opening of the shop will be December 1st, however, the shop IS open now. I wanted to allow you the opportunity to shop now, especially if there were items you wanted for your Christmas projects, or possibly to give as gifts. I know that some of the items will sell out quickly, so if there are items you can’t resist, I’d suggest getting them before the opening. *wink* Ideally, I would have a studio full of products for the shop, but alas, starting a business is a little spendy and I’m having to do things little by little. However, if things go well, you can be sure I’ll be keeping stock fuller and then the REAL fun can start to happen and I can add more products to the shop.

In the meantime, if you feel like shopping in the Pretty Pink Pink shop and being one of the first customers, that would mean the world to me. I’ve already filled some orders and I absolutely have loved seeing the response. A few people have already mentioned they are loving the packaging and the little details I add to make it a truly “happy mail package”….I hope I can send some more out! Now if you would rather wait to order until you start seeing samples, that’s okay too! I just wanted to give my amazing readers a little heads up so they can have the first pick of things. :)

December 1st will be here before we know it- I hope you’ll join in the festivities! I’ll be back in just a bit with the next Favorite Free Fonts feature. See you then!

Die Coupon Alert!

If you have followed my blog for a while, you know I am all about sharing savings with my readers. Right now, Ellen Hutson has a 20% off savings coupon for ALL of the dies they have in stock. Holy moly! They carry so many great dies (the last time I checked they had over 2400!) and we all know that dies make life so much easier.

ellencouponCurious as to what dies are currently on my wish list? I honestly could have filled this whole post up, but I’m thought I’d limit it to just 15 for today. All of the dies I listed were currently in stock when I typed up this post, so hopefully you’ll be able to get them at this great savings!

I’ll be honest, since I put quite a bit into the opening of my shop, I won’t be able to take advantage of this GREAT savings coupon, but I hope that some of you will! Speaking of the shop…..everything is packaged and now I just need to take photographs of the products!

 Sweet readers, I’m curious, what’s on YOUR die wish list at the moment?

*I want to note that I’m an Ellen Hutson affiliate, but only because I adore them so much. Any products purchased through the links I have listed, or the EH sidebar ad on my site, will provide me with a small commission which in turn helps keep this site running and also helps me provide giveaways & prizes.

On the Wish List- September Edition

wishlist_september

Oh boy, can you believe the last day of September is here? It amazes me that while it seems that day to day sometimes goes by slowly (especially when one is eagerly awaiting to feel physically well), the months seem to fly by. How is that even possible?! Before you know it, it’ll be Thanksgiving and we all know what comes after that!

Today I’m bringing along my On the Wish List feature for this month. I always have intentions of doing it earlier in the month, but then the days fly by and it’s hard to sneak it in among my other posts. Since I also wanted to share a card today, I’ll be doing TWO posts today. It’s a rarity here on the blog, but there are just some days that call for it.

I’m curious…. sweet readers, what’s on YOUR wish list at the moment?

As some of you may have seen on my Instagram or Facebook page, I recently got some new craft supplies. I’m awaiting another order today and I’ll be doing a haul video. While it won’t go live today (since UPS delivers late in the day for me), I’ll still be classifying it as a September Haul. Stay tuned to the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel later this week for the video!

Thank you for spending some time with me today, sweet friends. I truly adore hearing from you all and I hope to see you for the other post that will go up in an hour.

On the Wish List- August Edition

wishlist_augustDoes anyone else feel like companies are upping up their game and releasing even more amazing products? Just when I feel like I’m at a comfortable place and don’t need or want anything else in my craft studio, a new release happens and I’m awe struck and looking for a money tree to pop up somewhere on our property.

This month I have a little mixture of stamp sets, inks and products and I have to confess, some of them are on their way to me right this moment. In fact, they should be here today! See? I couldn’t just keep these items in my cart, I had to checkout! Goodness gracious….I think I need a blindfold….or more self control.

 

Feel free to leave multiple questions here, ask me on any of my social media sites, or you can ask anonymously on this link: http://ask.fm/prettypinkposh. I’ll pull some of the most popular and frequently asked questions and bring them together for this post. Bombard me with questions, I’m READY! :)
ASKThank you for spending some time with me today, sweet friends. I truly adore hearing from you all and I shall be back again soon!

Giveaway!

This month has been full of excitement, prizes and all sorts of fun. In keeping with the theme, I have another giveaway to share with you all and I will admit I’ve been brought back to my childhood in this post. For those who have little girls in your life, you all are going to LOVE this sponsor and her sweet products.

Do you remember growing up having those pretty hair bows in your hair? My mom used to do all three of our girls hair in braids and included clips and bows. While I didn’t always appreciate it at the time (mostly because my hair was unruly and it hurt when she brushed it), I now love looking at the pictures with the pretty hair accessories.

I recently was introduced to Turnip Creations, an Etsy site that has all sorts of headbands and hair clips. As soon as the pictures popped up on the screen, I was all smiles. The colors choices, the pretty designs and just the whole idea of getting to doll up the little girls in your life, I was so giddy that I was going to be able to see these products first-hand and do a giveaway for all of you!

headband_giveawaySince I don’t have any little girls of my own, I reached out to one of my close friend and asked if her girls would be willing to model these pretty hair accessories. I’ve known these girls from the day they were born and I even lived with and babysat the older one for a short time. These girls are precious to me and I adore when they surprise me at work with hugs and chatter. In addition, they make perfect little models!

Now that you’ve seen just two of these cute hair accessories, I’m sure you want to get some of your own! The lovely owner of Turnip Creations has offered up a $25 gift certificate to her shop and the winner will also get free shipping on that order!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Now if you want to stock up on these cute hair accessories, I have a 15% off coupon code to share! These are so reasonably priced already, but an extra savings never hurts! These would make such adorable presents for any little girl in your life!

headband_couponBe sure to take a peek at Turnip Creations and all of the cute products. Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me today. I’m hoping to be back tomorrow as it’ll be a big day for me- it marks the one year mark of my accident and I have an update to share.
