Giveaway Day - MuchLove-Illy


"My name is Ilene - but my fiance calls me, 'Illy' (thus the name of my lil' shop). I'm currently in the midst of transition - moving out of Chicago (my home for 8 amazing years) and heading back South to be with my family and to start wedding planning (I recently got engaged - so yes, wedding planning looks like another outlet for creativity for me!).


I'm obsessed with anything creative, all things green, spending time with family and Ryan, coffee with lots of creamer, painting my nails with only bright colors, buying books I dont have time to read, and traveling the world. Besides my etsy shop, i have two other creative outlets - my own personal blog (www.muchlove-illy.blogspot.com) and a collaborated inspirational blog called sulu (www.sulublog.com). My current motto is to savor life 'cause it goes by way too fast. That's all, folks! Much love!"
xoxo,
Illy
