Cyber Monday Giveaway - Sensatiables Jams

Happy Cyber Monday everyone! In addition to a Super Savings code for all of you to use over at my shop InkSpot Workshop today (coupon code CYBER gets you 15% off + FREE SHIPPING) I have a super, special something else to share too!

For all of you who follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you probably saw my many posts and tweets about attending The Broke Socialites' Sugar Coma Festival with my new BFF Deb of Yummy Delicious Cookies. As one can imagine, it was a sugar packed Sunday afternoon of pure gluttony and fun. Half way through our journey we stumbled upon the simply adorable Tracy of Sensatiables and her stunning oasis of SAVORY! After so many sweets, we really needed a salty pit stop and let me just tell you....her Sweet Caramelized Onion Jam is now my current addiction! My mouth is hard wired for sweet and salty tastes that are mixed together so I'm in jam heaven right now. WARNING... Sensatiables' jams are not like your grandmother's and her three signature flavors include...

GUESS WHAT?

Real Wedding - Fire Hydrant Press Feature

photo courtesy of The Knot

This past Spring a bride approached me to make some custom Fire Hydrant Press, dog silhouette favor labels for her upcoming wedding. She and her fiance are both animal lovers and wanted to let each guest know they made a donation to the local animal shelter, in the guest's honor. These cute labels (made to match wedding color scheme of course) were placed on favor bags that included cookies made in the shape of dog bones.

Imagine my surprise when I received a message from the bride that her wedding was featured in The Knot? It's so much fun to see something you have made being used in real life and most importantly being used as a small piece to an absolutely beautiful puzzle! Click here to see all of the details this bride made sure to include, especially the escort cards!

What a super unique and generous idea! Thanks Jessica for sharing this with us.

Fire Hydrant Press is the charitable division of InkSpot Workshop and is dedicated to dog lovers!

Hump Day Giveaway - Orglamix

Happy Hump Day!

Today we've got a little somethin' somethin'
to help make your day a little more
GLAMOROUS!

I'm not sure if I've ever admitted this online before....I am a self proclaimed makeup w----! In fact, in my early twenties, I worked for Clarins Paris, for five years. Had a blast! Got to play with makeup all day long, like a kid in a candy store. There is nothing I take pleasure in more than seeing what's new in Nordstrom's cosmetic department. Often you will find me plopped down in some one's chair always getting something to update my look. Funny thing is I only wear makeup when I have to see people and since I run an online business (InkSpot Workshop), that's not too often. My neighbor's think my husband has 2 wives:)

Mineral makeup came on the scene well after I stopped working in the industry. I have long been curious as to what all the rage is about, then came along Orglamix to educate me. All I can say is I'm SOLD! This Chicago based Mompreneur who hand makes all of these glamorous goodies really knows how to do it!

When it comes to eye shadows, it's ALL about texture. Orglamix mineral makeup is literally smooth as silk. I've been glued to my little pot of Silk eye shadow and just adore how it goes so well with everything! That's me in the picture above looking glamorous, thanks to Orglamix.

I'm totally digging how Orglamix puts together these great collections.

They pre-select 3 eyeshadow colors
to give you the total look!
I'm thinking the Eclipse collection would be a great smoldering eye
for New Year's Eve?

or how about the Peppermint Twist collection for Christmas parties?

TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!

Hump Day Giveaway - Coco Sailore

Happy Hump Day!

Today we've got a little somethin' somethin'
to help make your day a little more
ADORABLE!

I'm so happy to introduce you to another fellow Georgian, meet Coco Sailore. When I first discovered Clarissa's shop, I was drawn to her use of raw edged fabric and thick stitching, plus her unique photography style. Her busy hands make some of the prettiest kid's shirts and onesies, tea towels and fabric buntings. Perfect for giving giving!

When Clarissa isn't sewing gorgeous goodies, she's teaching pilates and yoga. Whew! I'm wiped out just thinking about that schedule:) All while supporting her hubby as he finishes dental school.

TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!
