It's giveaway day at Smile and Wave (pardon my tardiness)! Three of my February sponsors have some goodies for one lucky winner!! This giveaway will be open until the end of Wednesday when one winner will be announced. One winner for all three giveaways!!
***********************
Gingiber
My giveaway item is this cute little orange purse made from vintage sheeting with a pink polka dot lining and detachable flower pin. Retail value is $35.
Giveaway item is the orange purse shown above valued at $35.00!
Hello, fellow Smile and Wave readers! My name is Amy and my Etsy shop, To Be the Bird, started out from a love for creative outlets, unique gift giving, repurposing, and the ever growing handmade selling community.
The name of the shop comes from a line from a poem I wrote years ago. The poem itself was not great or profound by any means, but the line 'Oh, to be the bird and never fear the fall' motivates me daily to live my life, my adventures, my artistic spirit with passion and to face fear head on. This little shop is just as step deeper into that spirit.
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoy making them!
This giveaway is for $25 shop credit.

To enter this giveaway share something off of your to-do list today in the comment section below! Winner will be announced Wednesday evening.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 313 of 313my husband is going (coming?) to America for the next two weeks, so my to-do list includes making an advent-like calendar - filled with candy and a special daily activity - for our 4 kiddos to open everyday while he is gone :)
thanks for your lovely sponsors for the generous giveaway

My to-do list is probably from here to the moon long (which is precisely why I don't write it down ;)) but one thing I'm determined to do is finish one of the at least 5 on-going craft projects I have laying in my craft corner by the end of this week. I know if I finish one I'll be way more motivated to get the others finished up!!
I had 2 things on my to-do list today: 1- clean off the top of my dresser. (Done! wahoo!) 2- make dinner. (I need to go do that right now!) Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a super boring to-do list today. I need to phone and activate my new VISA card. Yikes! I hate doing that. The kids never cooperate - they yell and play and carry on as if I'm not stuck on the phone for 15 minutes. And then I have to sit through the operator trying to sell me all manner of other banking services. Bleh. Entering giveaways is much more fun! :)
Create a test for my class tomorrow and find my lost postage stamps!!!!
The main thing was to do my weekly volunteering at my local children's hospital.
I made pom-pom animals for 2 hours and only managed to burn my finger once on the hot glue gun -a new record :)
Homework. It is calling my name and I am not listening...
clean up the kitchen! still a little messy from a recent project.
Unpack the boxes left from moving this weekend!!
What a wonderful giveaway!
On my to do list is returning my overdue library books (yikes!), putting the finishing touches on the 23 dresses I've made, and having playtime with my little Luna.
