100 weeks of random ramblings. 100 weeks of tunes and tidbits. 100 weeks of sneak peeks and high fives. 100 Thursday Threads, y’all!!! Woo to the hoo! I am sure no one is quite as excited as I am but I am soooo going to celebrate today 🙂 It’s not that the Thread is really that big of a deal but it means that I have been doing something pretty routinely, 100 times. That’s HUGE for someone like me who isn’t great at routine (and by ‘not great’ I mean downright terrible). I blame it on being an artist 🙂 Ha! Granted, I did have some lapses here and there over the holidays, when Bree was born, and on the occasional off day. But for the most part, I stuck with it and the Thread really seems to be a staple of not only my blog, but my brand. It’s something people look forward to reading each week (so they say) and I am excited that my little corner of the internet has some staying power. Even if it’s just my mom and my husband in the internet audience! I know that’s not the case though, so I want to reach through my computer and give each of you a hug for heading over here each week to hear what I have to say, for holding me accountable and allowing me to take a few moments just to ramble write. And to say thank you in some small way, today’s Thread is all for YOU!
I tried to think of an exciting way to celebrate with you since we can’t all gather in my home office for cake and champagne (too much?) and thought that giving away free stuff would be the most fun, don’t you think?? So I worked hard to compile a list of some of my current favorite things and collaborated with some amazing vendors to be able to give away one of each of the items below! There will be one winner for each item and the winners will be announced in next week’s Thread, along with the reveal of the brand new Thread logo 🙂 So stinkin’ excited, y’all!!!
1. Starbucks Gift Card // 2. Essie Spring Nail Polish // 3. Baby Head Wrap from Positively Oakes // 4. Peppermint Lemongrass soap from West Elm // 5. Gold Foil 5×7 Art Print from SincerelyJackie // 6. Teacup from Anthro // 7. Stripe Favorite Throw from West Elm // 8. Rodan+Fields Sunless Tanning Foam and Body MicroDermabrasion Paste // 9. 8×10 Hand Lettered Audrey Hepburn Design by JulietGraceDesign
I am obsessed with every last one of those items and love being able to share them with a few lucky winners next week! Oh, and as a SUPER BIG thank you from CDP, I am also giving away ONE FREE 2014 MINI SESSION!! As you know, I only offer them a few times a year and am gearing up to announce another set shortly, so one of the lucky winners will get a spot in my next set of minis!! Here’s how to enter for the mini session and all of the prizes above:
Rules: You can do each of the entries one time. Winners will be selected at random and announced in next week’s Thursday Thread. Winners have 24 hours to contact me to claim their prize or a new winner will be chosen. I will ship applicable items to winners in the week following the announcement of the winners. All contestants must live within the continental United States and must be able to present a valid mailing address upon winning. I am not responsible for loss or damage to items during shipment. The winner of the mini session must be available to shoot on the date that I select for this particular set of minis. The location for minis is in the greater Houston area. Exact location TBD. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash.
