GIVEAWAY: A beautiful headband from Little Hatchlings!!! {CLOSED}

This gorgeous headband can be customized for babies, infants, toddlers, little girls and moms too! This beautiful pink, green, and cream vintage-inspired headband is my favorite. This bloom would be wonderful as a photo prop and as an everyday headband for your little girl. It has 3 rolled flowers made from silk and satin fabric. It is delicately embellished with a fabric bow, pearls, and a vintage-inspired rhinestone button....all attached to an off-white headband.

Since this headband is individually handcrafted and made-to-order, the item you will receive may vary slightly depending on availability of the embellishments (rhinestones, pearls, feathers, French netting, lace, etc.).
However, every effort will be made to match each piece as closely as possible.

What can you win?

GIVEAWAY: Twenty Five Designs Headband!!! {CLOSED}

Torie from Twenty Five Designs sent me a couple of her hair clips to try out for myself! They are so sweet and simple. I love them and seriously wear them ALL the time! (Please give Torie a visit on her personal blog: Life with Rylie!)

Why I love♥ it:
- So cute: I think they are just lovely!
- Color choices: MANY color choices to choose from.
- Stays in place: the clips I received are easy to put on and stay in place!
- Not too heavy: I don't know about all of you... but, I've purchased some hair clips before that are VERY heavy and slip from my head. Her's are VERY light!
- Quality: Very great quality!
- Fast shipping!
- She's VERY nice!

My only problem with them right now is that I only have 2.... I think I need some more! :D

WANTED: Camera lens advice.

Good Monday everyone! So... with my birthday coming up on February first I'm asking my hubby and family just to give me some moolah that I can't put towards a new lens! Yes! I was hoping to get a new lens during Christmas time... but, things didn't quite work out. BUT, that's ok. I'll get that lens somehow!

NOW... here's the deal. I really don't know what kind of lens I want. Or need. I'm no photography pro. I currently have this lens right here: EF-S 18-55mm lens. It's what came with my camera. I've talked to Lindsay, Ashley, and Mandy before when my budget was a bit more limited... but, now that I have saved a bit more and the birthday is coming up... my budget has gone up! Yay!

{Ruari pointing at the doggies that escaped from their backyard.}

SOOOooo... I'm looking for advice everyone! What do you recommend or like? and why? I'd really just love to know what lens is your favorite and why that is. If you have a moment to spare. :D By the way, I have this: Canon Digital Rebel Xsi

And, Ashley lady and Jill have a new photo/photoshop challenge that's starting today. Check out this post for more info and you can join up! Looks like fun!

And, of course we'd love a vote 

if you have a moment!

Would ya could ya? Vote for me?
