November Sponsor Love

Our thoughts turn to those of gratitude when November blows in.  Among the many things I’m thankful for this year are our sponsors.  Their support has allowed me to continue this little blog of mine!  It was simply too difficult to choose just one thing I loved from these shops, so stop over and see the rest of the goodies for yourself.  Be sure to keep reading, too, because I reveal the winner of the Elm Studios giveaway– that lucky duck.  {wink}

Custom invitations, thank you cards, stickers, water bottle labels, DIY printables, and so much more can be found on Chickabug’s corner of Etsy.  Need something customized or created for you?  Just ask!  I can tell you from personal experience that Heather is wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating.  This month I’m digging these Candyland themed party invitations, although I’m thinking we might need to go with pirates for Noodle’s 3rd birthday next summer.  Arrr!

Here’s a bit about Crayon Couture from Annie, the wonderful mama behind these creations:  “Let us add a bit of couture to your little ones crayon box and make learning fun with our handcrafted Doodlers™.  Our marbled crayon creations come in a variety of 9 signature colors and make the perfect party favor, learning accessory or birthday gift.   Each Doodler is handcrafted using our custom melting process and made with recycled non-toxic Crayola® crayons.”  She thinks outside the “crayon box” with her fun designs; visit her shop to see her exciting couture creations!  These Elmo Doodlers might find their way into a certain blondie’s stocking this year. {and, pssst, giveaway coming up soon!}

As you’ve probably deduced, my love for Elm Studios knows no bounds.  I’ll let Erin’s simple and beautiful pottery speak for itself!  It reminds you to do things like breathe, wish, and dream.

Welcome to a new sponsor, Itsy Bitsy Paper.  Along with the too-cute-for-words name, the personalized stationery you’ll find here will make you smile.  One of my personal favorites are these Modern Yellow and Gray Personalized Notecards.  Yup, those are so “me”!  I’ll bet you’ll find a “you” at Itsy Bitsy Paper, too!

how could I resist showing this one?  it matches my blog!

Once again, I can personally vouch for LOD’s amazing designs and equally amazing customer service.  Sara’s customized photo cards, invitations, and announcements are the stuff of Etsy legend; she has almost 6000 sales in her shop and yet you’ll feel like #1 when she sends you a proof within 24 hours of sending in your order.  Good luck choosing just one design to order… it took me weeks to narrow it down to this style last year.  Thankfully if you’re stuck she’ll customize anything to your liking!  {side note: I also follow her personal blog, which inspires me as a thinker every time she posts.}
 

Love a good party?  Then look no further than Party Box Design, where you’ll find “anything and everything party!”  Invites?  check.  Cupcakes? check.  Favor tags, online consultations, and cupcake toppers? Of course.  For November I’m loving this Thanksgiving invitation.

Adorable booties are not a reason to have another baby.  Adorable booties are not another reason to have a baby.  Adorable booties…

Once you visit Seamingly Possible, you’ll understand why I need to keep repeating this each time I browse there.  I start oooohing and aaaahing over each little shoe, burp cloth, and play mat– and the next thing you know I’m planning baby #3.  Which is not going to happen.  Unless I visit this shop.  Adorable booties are not a reason to have another baby…

The name Tiny Prints is a bit misleading, since these “tiny prints” are big on style!  With over 2,000 new designs you are sure to find one you love.  Look for a Tiny Prints review this month to hear about the ordering process and my card choosing conundrum!  so many choices, so little time…

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet because you’ll be seeing more of this fantastic shop in a giveaway later this month.  Suffice it to say that if you can dream it, Back40Life can create it in vinyl.  Remember the custom decals in Baby Bee’s nursery?  That “b” monogram and the “good night, sleep tight” shades?  Back40Life created them and I was absolutely thrilled with the process from beginning to end.  Once again, this is another business I can recommend whole-heartedly from personal experience.  I have more vinyl projects up my sleeve for later this month plus that giveaway I teased a moment ago!
