{Giveaway} Dani Notes

I am beyond excited to announce my VERY FIRST Giveaway!!! I recently ordered  darling address return labels from Dani Notes. I emailed her about putting her on the C&C blog and not only did she say YES she also offered to host a giveaway!!

Dani Notes uses cool, stylish colors combined with sweet designs-from preppy stripes and whimsical flowers to classic, custom monograms with a modern twist.
The constant whirlwind of activity and energy gives Dani inspiration for creating designs that celebrate the special occasions in life.

Dani’s products would make great Christmas gifts. I would *love* one of these trays for out by the pool! Here are just a few of her wonderful designs. However, if you are looking for something else, I am sure Dani can do it too.

Etsy find: Personalized shirts

I must start off by saying how much I love Etsy. I don’t know what I ever did without this wonderful site. For those of you who have never been, you must check it out at www.etsy.com. I have bought numerous items over the past year, from ribbon to invitations to vintage jewelry to kids clothes. The possibilities are endless!

This summer we had a slew of birthday parties. Most of the kids were in Charlie’s class at preschool. I think we were invited to nine parties this summer. I am always one who thinks of a great gift in advance, but then gets busy and ends up rushing around to pick something up. This year I was determined to be different. I knew who all had summer birthdays from the school calendar and decided to purchases personalized t-shirts for all of the kids. I didn’t realize that Charlie would pick up on this and at party #6 when one of the kids was opening her present he exclaimed, “We get everyone t-shirts!”

I have ordered from several sellers, but I really like the shirts from I Spot You. They are true to size and don’t shrink the first time you wash them like some other ones I have ordered in the past. Here are a few of their designs. I also think this would be a great shirt for the birthday boy or girl to wear to match the theme of their party.

Shirts from I Spot You, $20.
