Art-LDS.com ***ENDED***

I know that you have all been waiting patiently for Art-LDS.com to featured again.  So I'm very happy to tell you that the time is now!  Art-LDS.com is the place to find great Mormon art for you or your LDS friends and family.  Each painting has been hand-painted with oil on canvas and looks so intricately beautiful!

Through Art-LDS.com I was reminded of this quote from Howard W. Hunter, "Keep a picture of a temple in your home that your children may see it."  For me, this is very important.  Wouldn't your children love to see a temple painting in your own home?  At Art-LDS.com you can get that temple painting!
  
Do you even need to be told what is being given away?  One very lucky winner is going to receive a 36"x24" gallery wrapped canvas oil painting of the Salt Lake Temple from Art-LDS.com! That's a $199 value!!!

Alex and Alexa ***ENDED***

Many of the designers we know and love actually have children's lines.  How fun is that to find a designer that caters to both populations?  It definitely makes shopping for clothing, shoes, and the like that much easier.  We wear something by certain designers, because we know that it is going to be excellent in quality.  When that same designer makes something for children then we know that the same quality will be there for the little ones as well.  The shop Alex and Alexa carries so many designer clothing pieces, including those that are high end.  So, with the shop Alex and Alexa children can dress luxuriously in some of the finest attire. This shop is also based in my favorite city...London!  :)   Here are just a few of the great finds at Alex and Alexa.

The most beautiful dresses for:

Even entire outfits for girls and boys!


So many amazing options for children at Alex and Alexa!  They are sending me a fabulous pair of baby shoes that I'll have on hand for the next baby shower I attend.  :)    Right now Alexa and Alexa is having a fabulous contest!  Go here to enter to win a fabulous handbag...

SwaddleDesigns ***ENDED***

It seems forever ago when we brought our newborn son home from the hospital.  After all, he's now 2!  He's our first child, so we were clueless with what to do with him.  It was a major learning experience with having a new baby in the house!  We didn't know how to do the simplest things and felt like people thought we were crazy for not knowing what to do.  I think sometimes people forget over time what it's like to be a first time parent!  :)   Swaddling was a scary concept for us, because we honestly didn't know the first thing about how to wrap him up all good and tight.  Recently SwaddleDesigns sent me their Ultimate Receiving Blanket in Kiwi Paisley and it seriously covers all the bases in terms of a great swaddling blanket.  The blanket is incredibly soft.  It has the most adorable print.  Plus, it's extra large to make for easier swaddling.  What's more...the instructions for how to swaddle are attached directly to the blanket.  Now that's way handy!    

SwaddlesDesigns also has hooded towels that look so comfy cozy!





But I think that my favorite at SwaddleDesigns is the huge selection of blankets.






















All with great looking fabrics!  Also at Swaddle Designs you will find excellent Baby Gift Sets for gift giving.
Isn't this Orange Mod Circles set so very cute?

Did you see something at SwaddleDesigns that is a must have?  Well, just use the promo code "MadeinUSA" to receive 10% off regularly priced items!
Remember that amazing receiving blanket I talked about at the beginning of this feature?  Well, one lucky winner is going to be receiving a SwaddleDesigns Triplets Paisleys Ultimate Receiving Blanket


Winner's choice of either Pastel Pink Paisley or Kiwi Paisley print.  A $25 value!

Nacho Mama Tees ***ENDED***

It may not officially be summer yet, but it's HOT outside!  Which means that it's officially t-shirt weather!  Before moving to St. Louis we spent 6 years in San Antonio where it didn't really ever get cold outside.  So we have lots and lots of t-shirts.  In fact, t-shirts are just considered a staple in our home.  Nothing wrong with that, because we like t-shirts.  Who doesn't?  They are super comfortable.  You can wear them in many situations; working out, sporting activities, anything outdoors, etc.  Plus, you can always layer and keep wearing t-shirts into the winner months.  T-shirts are just so very versatile!  I recently learned about this really fun online shop:  Nacho Mama Tees.  There you will find so many great 80's logo t-shirts


Which I love, since I'm a child of the 80's!




From funny:























To vintage:

Are you really surprised that I like the "That's Dandy" shirt?






Nacho Mama Tees also has shirts from your favorite movies:

Pillow Tie ***ENDED***

Father's Day is less than a month away.  Have you gotten those gifts yet?  We all know that we've given a tie for Father's Day once or twice.  It's just one of those perfect gifts.  Probably even at one point given one of those GIANT ties, one that squirts water, or is cartoon fabulous, didn't you?    :)     Sure those are great gag gift kinda ties, but is he really ever going to wear it again after his honorary day?  Then why not get him the gag gift tie that he will actually use?  That's where Pillow Tie comes in.  My friend's brother actually created the Pillow Tie, so of course I get to choose one for my hubby.  :)    I think that it's quite comical, but cool and fun at the same time!  Each tie has a space in the back where an inflatable device can be placed.


So basically the wearer can lean into the Pillow Tie and rest anywhere: On the church pew in front of him, desk at work, fold-down tray on the airplane, etc. 





Some people can fall asleep anywhere...
With the pillow tie they can comfortably do just that!

What I think is so great about the Pillow Tie is you have the gag factor, but then after that's over you also have a really great looking tie!  Seriously, no one would ever look at one of these ties and think, "That looks like an inflatable tie!"  In fact, people are going to want to know where a tie that looks like this came from.




          There are so many different designs to choose from at Pillow Tie:




Such a fun company and great ties, right?


Well, 3 lucky winners are going to receive a Pillow Tie
Winner's choice of which one!!!

Craft Couture ***ENDED***

When I was a child my great-grandmother taught me how to crochet.  It's something that I really enjoy doing, but wish I was more talented in.  Let's just say my crocheting abilities are VERY limited.  I'm talking super basic!  So when I come in contact with people who are able to pretty much crochet masterpieces then I'm in great awe.  At Craft Couture you will find just about everything crochet.  Not just super basic crochet or very limited like I can create.  I'm talking materpieces.  Crochet creations that are designed by an extra talented crochetist.  Yep it's my blog, so I can use the word 'crochetist' if I want to!  :)

Swim season is just around the corner and Craft Couture even has some unique swimwear!

Sold in separates, so you can mix and match pieces!



Craft Couture also has cozy looking blankets like the Uber-Soft Contemporary Baby Blanket:




Sweater Sets:
