Giveaway: Prize Winning Coffee!!

I've got a fun little giveaway for you guys today!

If you read this post, I introduced my sponsor Prize Winning Coffee...

So..what in the world is prize winning coffee?? Think of it this way: it's basically like finding the toy in a cereal box...but for grown ups! Each bag of coffee has a jewelry or coin prize worth $5, $50, $250, or $500 dollars! Now that's some coffee that packs a punch :) The coffee tastes GREAT too, so getting a fun prize in the bag is just an extra sweet surprise!!

I think that Prize Winning Coffee would be perfect to throw in a gift basket or even an Easter basket for any of the coffee lovers in your life - it's just a fun, original idea that makes it a little more special than throwing it any other random brand of coffee!

So, for all you coffee lovers out there, how about a chance to win your own package or prize winning coffee?? I've got one to giveaway!! Enter the giveaway below - who knows what you'll find in your bag!!!

Sponsor Love: Prize Winning Coffee

I have a fun new sponsor to introduce you all too today!

Prize Winning Coffee!!

Prize Winning Coffee isn't "prize winning" in the sense that it's taste is so good it has won a lot of awards (but it does taste good!)

 (Looking at that cup of coffee is making CRAVE some more!! Does that happen to anyone else?? Too bad I'm writing this at 9:30 at night!!)

It's prize winning because literally, with every bag of coffee you win a prize!

Each bag of Prize Winning Coffee holds a piece of contemporary jewelry, vintage jewelry, or coins of the world.  Each prize is worth $5, $50, $250 or $500 dollars!

 It's the little things in life, isn't it?? I felt like a little kid about to find my prize in my box of cereal. Except now I don't eat cereal anymore...but I do love my coffee! And it was fun to to see what I would find inside:

I got a ring! A little "blingy" for my taste but I'm sure my little niece will love it. And the rest of that coffee is for me!!! Check out some of the other prize reveals on the Prize Winning Coffee Pinterest page.

If you are ever looking to "spice up" your coffee life (hah!) or just need a fun gift for a coffee drinker, be sure to check out Prize Winning Coffee.

Sound like fun? Be on the look out for a giveaway in the near future!

Sponsor Love: Invitation Styles

Today I wanted to share a little LOVE for my wedding invitation sponsor: Invitation Styles!

 

I posted about having trouble finding invitations back when I got married, because I didn't want to DIY them all the way but I also didn't want to spend a fortune on them!!

That's why I'm so happy to have Invitation Styles onboard, because I FEEL all those other brides-to-be out there scouring for that perfect invitation with the perfect price!

What's great about this company is that there is FREE shipping and FREE Customization.  You can get 1 invitation, 1 RSVP card, and 2 envelopes for less than a dollar! That's really good for wedding invitations :)

So, I took a little peruse around their site and here are some I found and liked:

 Vine Garden Wedding Invitations

Elegant Lace Invitations

Blue and White Striped Invitations

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Invitations

Haha! The Mr. & Mrs. Smith invites are pretty funny (they have a bunch more caricature ones available as well for any adventurous couples out there!)

So if your still waiting for Mr. Right to pop the question....keep Invitation Styles in mind to save your wallet when it comes time to order invites!

Sponsor Love: Sweet Relish

I've got a cool new website to introduce you guys to today!

 

 Sweet Relish kind of reminds me of Pinterest - but it is aimed more towards building wish lists of products. It's always so annoying on Pinterest when you find an awesome pin, you love it, you want it, only to click through to the source and it to not be there anymore! Not the case on Sweet Relish - every image on the site is a real product that is for sale somewhere!

You can also "relish" products from other websites by installing the relish button in your browser. Here's what the catalog portion of Sweet Relish looks like:

That turkey hat and "go plate" are too funny!!

You can add things right from the Sweet Relish cataloge by clicking on the image and "relishing it", or from other websites like Amazon. I really want the new J.K. Rowling book so I relished it right from there!

Andddd of course I had to stop by the Silhouette website and relish some of their products too...

After browsing around for awhile, here's part of the Christmas list I came up with!

Mostly craft supplies but with a book and vacuum thrown in too haha. It's super easy to share your list via facebook, twitter, pinterest, or email to give hints to your loved ones of what you want for Christmas :)

I would totally encourage you guys to visit sweetrelish.com where you can save all of your ‘whims’ in one place :) Create a holiday  list, save the stuff you like, and discover new products! It's fast and easy to sign up and is a great way to help add things to your Christmas list if you've got some spaces to fill still!

Sponsor Love: Hoops By Hand

As a jewelry maker myself, I am so excited to introduce you all to my newest sponsor: Hoops By Hand!

 Here's a little about Hoops By Hand by the founders themselves:

Hoops By Hands was started by four sisters who have a passion for jewelry.  We are lucky enough to have a father that is a very talented jeweler.  Before the age of twelve, we were exposed to many different styles of jewelry.  Each of us were taught how to solder, pound, and wind intricate designs from precious metals.   Now that we are grown and starting careers and families of our own, the passion for jewelry has stayed with us.  For this reason we have come together to bring to you many of our dad’s beautiful creations. 
    

The four sisters joined efforts to create Hoops By Hand, a site that weekly features a new stunning jewelry design! They focus on hoop earrings because of the simple beauty and versatility that hoops allow, but there are other designs as well.  They feature a new design each week, so if you see something you like you should not wait around!

Here are some of the gorgeous designs featured on the site:

Rectangular Hoops

Sterling Silver Hammered Hoop Earrings

 

Spiral Earrings

 Swirl Hoop Earrings

Aren't they all so pretty? See more designs HERE

Hoops By Hand also has a very informative blog about jewelry making in general.

They even have some video tutorials! Check out the video for home to make this knot ring:

    Each piece of jewelry comes with a guarantee, which I think is so important when you are buying something you cannot see in person: Each piece of jewelry is created by an expert craftsman and is inspected by us for quality.  Each piece is stamped with our seal, HH, and the appropriate metal from which it is made.  For your comfort when putting our hoops in your ear each post or stem is rounded.     Whether you are a jewelry maker like me or just a jewelry lover in general {I guessing that's most of you guys :) } you should check out Hoops By Hand. The jewelry is beautiful, handmade, and quality!    PS- Be on the lookout for a Hoops By Hand giveaway in the future!!!

 Haute Naked believes in creating a product that will impact the world and give back to communities worldwide. That's why they've created a product that is gentle to the world, but also happens to be gentle and sweet for your skin.

I just wanted to slather myself up in that deliciousness. Oh yeah. Best thing? All the prices are very affordable. This body butter is only $7!

 Their butter balm looks like it would be a real sweet treat for my lips:
