Lovely Sponsors Part 2: and WINNERS!!

This contest would not be much of a contest without sponsors who have provided some lovely sponsors! Please go check them out and tell them thank you! If you missed the first sponsor post go HERE!

My favorite piece of jewelry (other than my wedding ring), is a beautiful handmade necklace that has the names of my three children and inscription that reads forever mine. It has decorated with a simple pearl pendent. It is the beautiful Gather Around necklace, like this one pictured.

I just love it, I get so many compliments on it, and it is so meaningful.... and it was made by one of our talented sponsors Cathy at Cap Creations!

Cathy makes all sorts of beautiful jewelry. Isn't this necklace so sweet?

She has great prices and her quality is the best! This is not to mention that Cathy is a wonderful person. She is the person who inspired me to start doing a service project each month on my blog! She also donated two adorable pillowcases, and her mom sent a few more! Her Sprocket Pillow made it into the top 12 pillowcases! Thank you Cathy for sponsoring! If you want to make someone happy, (or yourself) give them a gift they will treasure forever, custom jewelry from Cap Creations! The first prize winner will win a $40 gift certificate to her shop!

Kyla from the Funky Polkadot Girraffe has an easy to read, always uplifting and corky blog, and also makes some darling girls accessories and sells them in her Etsy Shop.

And if you are in the top three you will win one of these DARLING ruffle headbands.. They are so much fun!

Thank you Kyla for sponsoring this event!

Last but definitely not least, is a fun NEW online store called Sew Obsessed! They have the cutest fabric at a great price!

I just love this nursery rhyme fabric!

And I have a new obsession for Heather Bailey fabric, so cute!

Isn't this fabric checkerboard darling? No matter what your sewing project is, they will hook you up! They have such fun fabric and patterns! Go see what you love at Sew Obsessed! They have generously donated a Fat Quarter bundle, and two patterns to our winners!

Now that you are drooling over the prizes, do you want to see who won? It was a very close race, and I would like to thank everyone who participated!!

...........................................drum roll........................................................

THIRD PLACE goes to the fabulous and fun Ruffle Pillow by Buggle Bee handmade!

SECOND Place goes to the darling Ele-Bum Pillow by Banana Cheri!

And... the PILLOW FIGHT CHAMPION is Adrianne's Wedding Bouquet Pillow! We seriously need to talk this creative girl into having a blog! Congratulations!
