Ellen Hutson

July Craft Haul + Giveaway Winner

As some of you know, I celebrated my birthday over the weekend. In between the craziness of moving at work, the new release, going back and forth with insurance and talking to doctors, on top of keeping up with the blog, I’ve been exhausted. Despite the various invitations to celebrate and have gatherings, I opted for a low-key day filled with Starbucks, catching up on emails and crafting and a nice, long nap. It was utter bliss!

One of the gifts that I received was an Ellen Hutson gift certificate from my thoughtful and generous aunt. I’ve been really good about cutting back on my spending, which has meant my wish list has gotten to be quite long. With the gift, I was able to cross off a lot of the items, which I’m so excited about. I filmed a quick video showcasing the items {see below} and I’m also linking to the items in this post.

Last week I hosted the Fresh Summer Roses Giveaway and it’s time to announce the random lucky winner! Congratulations to Judy! I’ll be emailing you shortly to get your mailing info so I can get this set mailed off to you. solidrosewinner

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!

That’s all for today’s post. I’ll be back tomorrow for the highlights post for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #21 and info on how to get a sneak peek at the new challenge. Hope to see you then!

Test Post {of sorts}

wishlist_juneI don’t know about you, but I always love seeing what items have caught the eye of my fellow blog and craft friends. Whether it be the latest items from Target {that store always gets me in trouble!}, a new nail polish or some beloved crafty items, I love peeking in and being introduced to items I may not have normally seen.

Thanks to the prodding of a couple friends and my birthday coming up soon, I thought I’d do a “test post”, of sorts. Here’s some items that have been on my wish list and/or have caught my eye recently.

I’d love to hear whether you enjoy these sorts of posts, or would you rather I skip them. Honestly, if you aren’t a fan, that’s totally okay! I’m completely unsure if I want to do this feature, so it’ll be YOUR feedback that helps me make the decision. I promise, there won’t be any hurt feelings one way or the other. *wink*

That’s going to wrap up this short little post. Quick reminder: if you have been wanting to participate in the 10 Minute Craft Dash #19, the deadline is TOMORROW night! There have been so many gorgeous entries so far- I hope you’ll add yours to the list!

May 2013 Craft Haul

Good morning, sweet friends!

As you’re reading this, I’m currently at the airport en route on my first mini vacation in years. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to still go, due to my health problems, but I went ahead and still kept my plans. My best friend, her sister and I are headed to San Francisco, where we’ll meet up with my sister, who recently moved there. I’m so excited to finally see this city I’ve heard about! I plan on taking pictures and uploading on Instagram along the way, so follow me if you’d like a peek into my trip.

In my effort to change things up a bit, I put together a craft haul post. You can see what I purchased in the video and then all of the links are located below.

Have you purchased anything 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. Seeing what caught their eye and then later see how they used the products makes my heart happy. Also, sometimes seeing what another person purchases sometimes prompts purchases from friends! :)

That’s going to wrap up this post today. I brought my laptop with me, so hopefully I can sneak in a post or two while I’m here. No promises though!

Ellen Hutson Craft Haul

It’s a new year and that means trying new things, right? Today I’m bringing you something new…..I’m sharing my very first haul video & post!

I posted on Friday that I just became an Ellen Hutson affiliate and boy, have I been shopping over there a lot this past week. I didn’t realize how extensive their inventory was! They have so many of the things I purchase regularly and of course, many things that I’ve been eying for quite some time.

Below is the video I put together {combining three separate purchases I did}. If you want any of the things to the products, I’ll be posting that at the end of this post.

watch the video above or on my YouTube channel
 

That’s a wrap for this post. What do you think of haul videos? Do you enjoy them, or are they something that you avoid? This whole thing was a “tester” to see if you like it, and if I could pull one off. Honest thoughts would be great! After all, I want to continue to bring you things that you enjoy and want to see!

And now, here are the links to the products that were shown in the video:

February Sponsors/ Affiliates & Coupons!

As some of you may have noticed, there have been some changes here on the blog. Not only have I recently done a re-design, I’ve also started hosting ads from some companies and sites that I believe in and support. I love being able to introduce you to new {to you} companies!

Okay, now onto the fun stuff…..introducing you to this month’s sponsors and providing you coupons!

I am so honored and proud to have recently become an Ellen Hutson affiliate. What does that mean? If you order from their site via my sidebar link, or any of the items I link to, I’ll receive a small commission. I’ve been wanting to provide a place where I could link to items I use, are Pretty Pink Posh approved and of course, wanted it to be a place with stellar customer service. I’ve found it, folks. If you haven’t already, check out their amazing site- this is my new place to stock up on all my “must haves” and cross off items on my wish list!

I have a few spots open for sponsorships now! If you have a business or blog that you think the Pretty Pink Posh readership might enjoy, consider sponsoring an ad and we can discuss the other options to promote your site.

I hope you have a fabulous Friday. Today I have a day full of errands and I’m stopping by Ellen Hutson to pick up an order. Woohoo!

Valentine Treat Bag

With just a week until Valentine’s Day, I’m in a mad rush to scramble finishing up these last minute cards and gifts. Didn’t we just celebrate Christmas? Goodness gracious, the time is flying by quickly!

A while back I picked up lots of clear tubes and small bags with the intention to create decorated treat bags. Months have passed and I’ve only created a few….. I figured it was time to rectify this. With the help of some new products and Valentine candies, I was able to dress up these products in just a few minutes.

Up until recently, I never really used to purchase patterned papers. Now, I’m a tad bit obsessed. My favorites are of course, polka dots. If a package has large or small polka dots, it’s very likely that I’ll purchase it.

I had fully intended to buy some sort of red or pink chocolate candies at the store but alas, they didn’t have ANY! I searched the aisles a few times over and came up with nothing. Maybe that’s a good thing…..I won’t be tempted to eat these gum drops!

Notice that fun scallop frame that I decorated with red pearls? That’s a wood veneer piece! I have succumbed to the hype and bought three packages. If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out. Really.

That’s going to wrap up this post. Thanks for visiting me and checking out my little Valentine creation today. I’ll see you tomorrow about some fun news {yes, more!} and info on a giveaway I’ll be hosting soon.

NOT LISTED: Simple Stories paper pack, brown gift bag, clear tubes, doily , candy
