a Mother’s Day giveaway

a Mother’s Day giveaway

Mother’s Day is just around the corner {is it sneaking up on you, too?} and to celebrate I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway! Would any of you like to win a lace garland, either for you or for your mom? :) I’m giving away two this weekend!

Mother's Day Giveaway from the Path Less TraveledThis giveaway will be short and sweet, ending at midnight on Sunday, May 5th to allow time for it to arrive by Mother’s Day. :)

And to make it even more fun, it’s going to be refer-a-friend style! Both you and a friend {or your mom, maybe?} can win! To enter, just refer your friend(s) to “like” our Facebook page {here} and post a comment mentioning that they have been referred by you. Your entries are only limited by your number of friends – and the best part is, both of you have a chance to win! Monday morning I will draw a pair of names and contact the winners.

Have fun! <3

 

note – this giveaway is limited to U.S. entrants only. All entries will be selected from our Facebook fan page, not from comments on this post.

Friday again?

Friday again?

How can it be Friday again already?

And Easter is almost here! Having it early this year means that’s it’s kind of catching me off guard {making the girls matching Easter dresses? um, might not happen …}. Are you finding the same thing true for you?

Each pick is made using rabbits cut from 5 different colors of cardstock: pink, yellow, light blue, light green and purple. Each is double sided so there isn't front or back - they look cute from every angle! Each little bunny is about 1/2" tall. The set includes: 3 yellow 3 pink 2 green 2 blue 2 purple

 Easter Rabbit cupcake toppers

Speaking of catching me off guard, I just realized that I haven’t done a very good job of moving most of my Easter items over from my Etsy shop to this site – whoops! So if you’re looking for the super cute things that I’ve been making {and trust me, there are some REALLY cute new things in my shop!} you’ll need to look there this year. Oh well ….

Anyway, here’s some of the cuteness:

and those are only a few! I’m hoping to get them all posted here for you, too, but we’ll see how that goes. :) I’ll let you know!

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you saw that I mentioned shipping deadlines for Easter delivery: the deadline for guaranteed delivery with standard shipping is Monday, March 25 and Priority shipping is Wednesday, March 28. If you need rush shipping, let me know and I’d be happy to help!

Hope you all have a lovely, lovely weekend {we are expecting snow …} and I’ll be back soon :)

the Path Less Traveled: Pink Princess Favor Bag tutorial

Hello everyone! Yep, it’s time for How-Tuesday again – and this time I’ll show you a {sort-of} tutorial on how I made these darling favor bags for Emma Grace’s pink princess party {I’ve got a few more posts about her party planned – it was so sweet!}. Ready?

I had seen {these and these} sweet treat bags on Pinterest and knew that they’d be perfect for sending the favors home with Em’s guests. {the favors were these molasses crinkle cookies – Emma Grace frosted them herself :)}

 to start with I used a pair of scallop scissors to even off and pretty up the ends of some brown sandwich bags.

then I used my multi-stamp that I use for all the hand-stamped things in the shop and some pink ink to stamp some 4-inch doilies with “thank you for coming!”

next, I used a glue stick on the edges of the doilies and sprinkled them with some bright pink glitter {so girly and princessey!}

the last step was to pop the cookies into the bags, layer the doilies on them, fold over the tops and secure with a staple {I was hoping to punch holes and tie them with pink twine, but I was running behind … my sister-in-law ended up doing this step for me. Thanks so much Sarah!}.

There you have it! Some sweet, simple, glittery and pink favor bags for a pink loving princesses birthday party :)

I’m really looking forward to showing you the rest of the details from her party! <3
