January Giveaway!
Monday, January 19, 2009
We're so excited to be hosting our first ever giveaway, featuring products and services generously donated by talented women right here at the MMB.
A Complete Photography Session from Annie at Little Fire Photography, including a one to two hour shoot at a Utah location of your choice. After your session, you'll receive a disk of images from the shoot in color and black white (with accompanying print release).


A beautiful set of "Winterberry" earrings from April at Second Sister Jewelry, entirely handmade with jade and red coral beads.

A $20 shopping spree from Rachel at the Bowlicious Bowtique. Rachel makes adorable handmade bows, clips, bracelets and more.

A Woman's Success Planner from Pamela at The Success Choice. Pamela says,"The Woman's Success Planner™ is the most complete women's planner available. It is customized for today's woman. It's not just a day planner -- it's a life planner. It is designed to bring us JOY." This planner is for the current January - March quarter.

A pre-release copy of a new CD from LDS pianist Sherrie Shepherd, "Solitude." Sherrie's album of gorgeous piano solos features several original songs and beautiful hymn arrangements. To hear a sample of her peaceful and contemplative music, go here.

An adorable handmade Flower Turtle stuffed animal from Hollywood at Flaky Friends. To quote Hollywood, "Flower turtle is a total hippie and only uses her own, handmade re-usable grocery bags. Both the shell and the turtle's body have jingle bells inside the stuffing. Her shell is topped by tiny rhinestones. She can come completely out of her shell when she is in the mood for some nude sunbathing. Try not to walk in on her unannounced."

A handmade Book of Mormon Hero Cape from Jaime at The Dress Up Drawer. Jaime says, "Making dress-ups for kids is almost more fun for me than for them. I started selling these capes to help draw attention to a new kind of hero. Hopefully your little Sunbeam - or heck - even your Deacon can enjoy a super cape for a Latter-day Hero."

From Pineapple Hill Design, a 10" x 10" Love Bird Heart Pillow, made of felt with laser cut appliques

And finally, a $20 gift certificate to Target, courtesy of the MMB.
