Time for A GIVEAWAY!!----Closed

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Since the New Year is this weekend and we are wanting to spend a little more time with families, we will be taking the week off, and be back to posting daily next Monday. In the meantime though we thought we would enter the new year with a giveaway!

Since A lil bird told me… has almost reached 100 followers we thought a nice way to say “Thanks for reading” would be to have a giveaway!!

My gracious friend Cierra has offered to giveaway ONE of her amazing 11x14 prints! Besides being super Mom, awesome crafter, and blog designer, Cierra is AMAZING at photography. I am super jealous of her talent and I love “ooing and ahhing” over her photos at her Yellow House blog. Check out her work, she is seriously talented, you don’t have to take my word for it though, her Save Ferris photo was recently featured over at Design Mom. If you live in Moscow, Idaho, she also does family and baby photography, which you can check out over at her Photograph: By Cierra blog. Once you have found your favorite print you can head on over to her Etsy shop to pick one up, and all the proceeds go paying for medical bills of her sweet Baby C.

Here are some of my faves...

On to the details for the giveaway….

Here is how to enter:

A: Become a follower of A lil bird told me…

B: Head over to Cierra’s Etsy shop and pick out which print you want if you win.

100 seems like a good number for a giveaway...

Since we are almost at 100 followers, we decided that 100 followers should warrant some attention. Once we hit 100, we will have a giveaway!! Tis' the season for giving right? I am super excited about this giveaway, it is going to be great. So spread the word, and tell your friends to follow, and a big THANK YOU to all of you who already do.

50 FREE Christmas Cards from Shutterfly

If you are doing lots of holiday shopping this weekend like me, here is a great deal to check out.

One of my favorite websites, Shutterfly, is having a fun promo for bloggers!! Hurry over and take advantage of their 50 free Christmas cards, they have TONS of cute cards to choose from, here are a few of my favorites.....

I LOVE these invitations, what a fun Christmas tradition it would be to have a cookie swap with friends and send out this invitation.

How cute is this card?? I am in love with the green paisley print, SO ADORABLE!

These two are super cute, especially if you can't decide on just one print like me.

If you are looking for great gift ideas they have canvas prints, that happen to be on sale right now (hurry over to get the sale price!) They also make calendars, a couple years ago I had a bunch of calendars made for my parents and in-laws, they have a super cute desk calendar that is new, I am thinking it would look great in an office.

In addition to all these fun gifts; Shutterfly also does baby announcements, baby books, and has a ton of other great products are services. Be sure to stop by and see all of the great deals going on this holiday season! Happy Holidays!

A giveaway....

Cierra is such a talented photographer, I love following the Yellow house, if I ever get a nice camera I want to start my own project 365! If you adore her photos like I do and are looking for a fun Christmas gift, then look no further! Cierra has decided to sell her prints to help with some of the medical bills her family is experiencing. She is a Mother to the cutest (next to mine of course ;) ) baby boy, who was born with a rare condition called CAH. CAH has been really rough to her little sweetie and he has been in and out of the hospital quite a bit. Any print you buy will help to cover those visits.
