On the Sixth Day of Christmas, Meese49's Cigarbox Santa Purse Giveaway!

I've always been kind of enthralled with cigar box purses. They just seem so whimsical! I saw this purse and knew that I had to ask for Meese49 to participate in our Christmas in July event! Check this out!


Photobucket



Isn't that simply darling??!!!?? Michelle of Meese49 is just one of those truly crafty people. She makes seasonal seasons in pumpkins that are just awesome and tabletop decor. Take a peek:



Photobucket





Photobucket



I think the cleverness of using the funkins as the base of a decoration is unbelievable! I also might have to snatch the autumn tabletop decoration for myself. Fall is my favorite season and I'd love to decorate for it. Is it me or does it seem like there is a serious lack of autumn inspired decor?

Michelle was kind enough to answer my holiday/craft questions. I love getting the insight to these really crafty people- don't you? Lets dig into Michelle's mind for a few minutes!

What is your name? Michelle Worley

How long have you been selling on Etsy? little over 2 years

How did you pick your shops name? I have a service dog who I named Moose as a puppy. My friends told me I should use the plural of moose=meese(lol) and that was that. The numbers are special to me.

What is your favorite item in your shop? My pumpkins

What is your favorite holiday? Halloween

What is your favorite Christmas memory or tradition? Christmas light looking with my mom and dad in my pjs and going to McDonalds with my parents after Christmas Eve mass for dinner.

What is your favorite Christmas song or carol? I have a lot of favorites but the one I like to play on the piano and sing is Silent Night

How long have you been crafting? since I was 3 yrs old. How did you get started? My grandmothers sewed, knit and crochet. My mom is an Oil and Acrylics Painter, art teacher and sewer so I grew up around arts and crafts.

What inspires or motivates you? Nature, my 2 dogs, and music

What advice would you give someone wanting to sell on Etsy? Do what you enjoy and don't worry if anyone else will like it


What do you do, if anything, to try to live a greener lifestyle? I have an Environmental Degree so I have done a lot with the water and animals in my area. I use recycle bags and try to use recycle items in my crafts where I can.

If you could go on vacation anywhere where would you go? Europe (Germany, the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Poland)

Do you have a season or a favorite that is your favorite to create for?
I love the fall and winter months. In Fl we don't actually get seasons much but creating items for those seasons make it feel like fall and winter.

So you know you want to bring this cigar box purse home and maybe even another holiday decoration. Here are the details!

Buy It: HERE
Michelle is also being kind enough to offer a 15% discount to Sarah Simplifies readers! When you check out with your item enter "JulyBlog15" in the messages to seller box. Then you will receive a 15% discount sent to your paypal account. Pretty cool huh?!!?

Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway

We usually joke about the weather here in Illinois- if you don't like it wait 10 minutes and it'll change. It's often true too! The one thing that doesn't change- much to my dismay, is the allergy season. Actually, it does change- it seems to be lasting longer and longer! My daughter and I both have horrible allergy problems. If its green and grows we're allergic to it. My daughter is also allergic to dogs- and we own 2! Last weekend we did a TON of yard work. Trying to get the garden ready to be tilled and add compost. Renovating the side yard and pulling weeds (upon weeds and more weeds). I was relatively ok with the help of a little Zyrtec. My poor baby on the other hand was totally miserable the rest of the weekend. Her little nose was so stuffed! Fortunately the nice ladies at Boogie Wipes sent me a pack of Boogie Wipes. What a huge help!!! They are awesome!

Lindy's Delights Review & Giveaway

I have another great Etsy giveaway for you! I had the pleasure of trying Lindy's Delights Triple Chocolate Chunk Scones and trust me- it was a pleasure! I made them with my daughters help on Sunday afternoon. It was just one of those kind of gray, rainy, blah kind of days. Baking & tea seemed in order and what goes better with tea than scones?!!!? The scones are super easy to make. Pour mix into a bowl, add cream and vanilla, stir until moist and then kneed on a floured board. After that sprinkle the top & bottom with sugar & pop in a preheated oven.

The scones were SO delicious! We ate them right out of the oven with a bit of butter and cups of tea. I still get such a kick out of my 6 year old drinking tea! She kept on calling them cookies no matter how many times I told her they were scones. We also indulged in them later that night & I ate the last one the next day & they were wonderful each time! (Actually I got in BIG trouble for eating the last one!)

Circle Creek Home Soaps Review & Giveaway

I don’t know if you remember my post on Etsy from a few weeks ago. If not you can read about it HERE.

Today I have the great pleasure of having Sarah Simplifies first giveaway from an Etsy seller! Circle Creek Home makes some absolutely incredible smelling soaps! John and Brenda the owners of Circle Creek Home are super friendly and really are excited about the product they make and sell. I find it so comforting and am much more inclined to buy something from someone who is passionate about what they do. You can find Circle Creek Home right HERE.

Brenda sent me two bars of Circle Creek Home soap to try, citrus lime-zip and sweet orange clove. Now I have to tell you that my daughter loves getting mail when it gets here and when the soap from Circle Creek Home arrived she came running in yelling “I don’t know what it is but it smells really lishious” (her version of delicious). The soaps come neatly wrapped in waxed paper with personalized, hand stamped labels. As I was doing a sniff test on the soaps my mom decided that she had to try them as she’s a citrus scent fan. I usually cut my soap bars in 2 or 3 pieces anyway. Its an easy way of helping the soap last longer & not losing it down the drain which is just a bummer. I got out a regular kitchen knife to cut the bars and it slid through them like it was butter. A really great sign that there is a nice oil ratio in the soap! What does this mean for you? A soap that is more moisturizing! Gotta like that!

Now for the fun part! Circle Creek Home is giving one very lucky Sarah Simplifies winner 4 bars of Circle Creek Home soap! ALSO, if you buy soap from Circle Creek Home you will receive a FREE bar soap in your choice of scent! In the note to seller box mention that you are a Sarah Simplifies reader and what scent soap you would like for your free bar and it will be included with your order! (This offer lasts for the duration of the giveaway ending on May 9th)

Can’t wait for the giveaway to be done to find out if you’ve won?

Buy it!

(don’t forget to tell them you’re a Sarah Simplifies reader and what scent soap you want as your free bar!)

Win it
Mandatory Entry:
Go to Circle Creek Home and browse around. Come back here and tell me what scent soap you’d like to try. This must be done or all other entries are null and void.

Nurture My Body Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to try the Cleansing Milk by Nurture My Body. Nurture My Body is a company that offers beauty products made with NO toxic ingredients. Actually, they're made with certified organic ingredients, not tested on animals, and phthalate-free. The added bonus is that the packaging is eco friendly too!!! Nurture My Body has a baby line, skin care, hair care and body care.

I've used the Cleansing Milk cleanser for the past week and I have to say I love it! The Nurture My Body website says the Cleansing Milk is good for normal to oily and combination skin. Most of my life I've had oily skin but as I've gotten older I've noticed that I have some areas that are actually dry. I suppose this means I have combination skin. The problem is usually if I use a combination skin product my skin is very dry & tight in places and if I use something for dry skin that I become very shiny looking- ugh! Well, much to my delight when I used the Nurture My Body Cleansing Milk my skin looked & felt fantastic! Not too shiny, definitely not dry- just right! It was such a pleasure to find this item! I'm definitely a fan and plan on continuing my use of Nurture My Body Cleansing Milk and I plan on trying some of their other products since I'm so happy with the Cleansing Milk.
