So the winner of the Influence Conference is #35 - Jennifer Eastman. (I will email you!) Congrats! So many of you had great reasons for going!!! I hope you all get to go. I always pick with random.org to be fair!
I am not going to be going to the conference - so I won't get to meet all of you but maybe some other time! I know you will all have fun and learn a lot! Using blogs to share your faith is obviously something I believe in!
Okay - so I'm behind and wanted to share about the sponsors I had on my blog for May. I always want to make clear that they are not paying me in any way - I just love promoting small businesses so I am sharing them with you because I believe and support each of the sponsors I have on my blog each month and would love to see them do well! I have twice as many sponsors for June and I'll have them up this week.
Lil Light O' Mine is a really neat shop. They have a mission to help build character in the lives of children. I have a set of these amazing alphabet cards - you may have seen them in my living room tour - on my side table. They are beautifully done and each letter has a scripture that goes with them. I'm trying to do one letter and verse a week with Harper. She LOVES them. In fact - I put them up high because she constantly had them in her little hands. :-) They are a great teaching tool but also a cute decoration for your house. They come with a stand and with a magnet if you want to put a letter at a time on your refrigerator!
Leslie is a friend of a friend who is a fellow OBU grad who does graphic design. She has Giraffic Arts and designs all kinds of VERY cute stationary, signs, cards, and anything you might need. I love this recent invite and matching yard signs she did for a customer! If your are looking for personal stationary or party supplies - she is awesome! She does great work and I highly recommend her!!!
For my local friends in NWA - if you haven't been - you need to visit Bliss Cupcakes. They are AMAZING!
They have two locations now - one on the downtown square in Fayetteville and one that just opened next to slim chickens on Joyce. They have a lot of great flavors like cookie dough (pictured first) with cookie dough cooked in the middle and my favorite (of course) and what I always get - Razorback red velvet! Some of my good friends own Bliss but even if they didn't - I would go there as often as possible! I'm hoping they will build one 30 miles north soon!
