20 questions and a GIVEAWAY with The Little Illustrator

I've had a running around like a chicken with it's head cut-off kind of week
Hence the being awol the last couple days
But, I'm here to make it up to you
with an awesome giveaway from Jen at The Little Illustrator
I "met" Jen via twitter and fell in love with her adorable illustrations,
I gave Jeremy this print for Christmas & it hangs in our bedroom above our Livy Love Designs print.
fun fact: you can personalize the hair color so that it matches you and your lovely love person that you love

Jennifer is so kind to give one reader a $40 credit to her shop!
But, before we get to that, let's get to know her better with 20 questions!


1.   what one word would you use to describe your business?  Cute
{i totally agree!! see image above for proof ;)}


2. what one word would you use to describe yourself? Dedicated


3. Do you have children?  I have four children.  1 girl and 3 boys.  My 15 year old daughter, Carly, is a typical teen.  If you have one, you know exactly what I mean. =)  She is a sweet girl though and a wonderful big sister and daughter.  Chance is my 2 1/2 year old.  He is full of energy and is very intense and passionate about life.  Camden, also known as "little bird" is 1 1/2.  He was born with a genetic abnormality, which makes him short stature.  We also recently just learned that he has some brain damage.  It has been a rough year and a half but he is more than worth it.  He is truly a remarkable.  Cellan is my baby.  He is 6, almost 7 months, and is such a little love.  He is so cuddly and has the sweetest disposition.
{I don't know how Jen does it 3 under 3 plus a teen, she deserves an award!}




4.  what's your favorite color?  I love black.  I think I began to love black when I was a hair stylist, which was in another life before three babies in a row ;),  and that's all I ever wore.  Oh and also, it makes me look slimmer as I try desperately to lose this last little bit of baby weight!!!


5.  Which do you prefer hot chocolate or coffee?  Coffee


6.  if you could have a super power what would it be?  I would love to be able to never need sleep.  The days would last forever and while my kids slept I could be up doing what I love, drawing.




7.  which do you prefer the beach or the mountains? Beach

8.  favorite season?  Fall


9.  favorite pizza toppings?  Cheese


10.  night owl or early bird?  Night Owl


11.  favorite TV show or movie?  Grey's Anatomy


12.  what is your guilty pleasure?  Candy :\


13.  what is your favorite phone app?  Fitness Pal




14.   what is your most embarassing moment?  Looking for my keys for 10 min and realizing that they were in the ignition the whole time, which was causing the annoying dinging I somehow didn't hear.



15.  what's your favorite ice cream flavor?  Red Velvet




16.  how did you meet your spouse?  He taught my daughter




17.  what's one food you can't live without?  I thought it was sweets, until I gave it up for Lent and realized I can indeed live without it!!!!  Although not a food, I would probably die without Coke Zero




18.  what was the happiest day of your life?  Meeting my husband

19.   favorite sport?  Ummm.....I'm not a big sports girl

20.   name one item on your bucket list  To go to Fiji

just a little something...

well, March is going to be an exciting month.
we're spending a few days in Salt Lake City next week for an art show.
so, that means a lot of shopping, trips to the zoo & aquarium
Then, on St. Patrick's Day, it's my birthday.
I'm still officially in my twenties for one more year.
it's weird
time goes by so fast

March is also the anniversary of my shop opening.
2 years ago I opened Sugar Blossom Boutique,
I think that's we should celebrate a bit.
So, from now, until my birthday (March 17th)
I will be giving a free ruffle flower headband
with every $20 purchase


March 17th is also Billy Corgan's birthday
i've may have had a crush on Billy since I was 12 years old
Jeremy may or may not tease me for having a crush on a guy with such peculiar looks
and an odd shaped head...but whatevs

 I love the new series Billy has put on youtube.  He plays songs from Smashing Pumpkins hayday acoustically and adds a little behind-the-scenes info. very cool.

It's like a personal acoustic session with just you & Billy Corgan...I mean, what kind of young woman hasn't dreamed all her life of this moment...right?!


There are a couple more vids like that on youtube so, if you liked that one be sure to check out the rest
Will you join me for Music Monday?
You can add a link to your favorite music using the linky tool below.
Happy Monday, everyone :)
& don't forget to snatch up your free headband with $20 purchase before the 17th!

Change is in the air

This morning Ingrid remarked "mom, you look different"
after a little prying..is it my hair? what is it?
she said "you look really tired"
ha! isn't that nice :/
of course, it's very true, but whatevs.

I grateful to all those that follow me on facebook and participated in my impromptu question/giveaway last week.  I asked what your fave spring colors are and the winner gets a new headband.  Now, I've  got a whole pile of beautiful spring colored fabric to work with, so pretty!!

now, it's time for me to get started sewing!

When I found Pretty Little Me's Etsy Shop I fell completely in love!  I'm so excited she's doing a giveaway here today!  Everything in her shop is just so pretty! I bought this pretty cuff and ring for a Christmas present and kept the necklace for myself! 

Katherine of Pretty Little Me has such beautiful headbands, earrings and adorable bobbi pins, too :)  It's all so uberly awesomely pretty! and another thing I appreciate about her shop is her great photography.  Visit her Etsy Shop, you'll be glad you did!  

Everything in there is pin-worthy!

Katherine is offering one lucky reader this pretty little necklace. Wouldn't it be an awesome surprise if you found out you won this necklace on Valentines Day??
 I wanted all you guys to have the chance to get to know Katherine a little bit so, she's the first to take part in my new 20 questions series!! yay!!
So, the 20 questions series goes like this... I ask someone cool 20 questions so that you can get to know them better. simple, right?
Here we go!
Here's Katherine, isn't she beautiful??
Hey, I am KatherineMW.  I like my church. i really like my husband.  I like to travel. I like laughing, and I think I am funny (because one of my sisters tells me I am). I like putting puzzles together with my children.  I like photographing glimpses of my life as the days go by. And I feel more like a cute mom with a pair of pretty earrings on. 

*Do you have children?
I have 2 children.  Grace is 5 and Willis is 3.  Yes, my kids are Will and Grace!  They are both family names, but also very significant to their entry into the world.  There were complications with both my labors.  During the wee hours of the morning, after a long, restless night of “labor” with my daughter, my nurse was comforting me, telling me all would be well and that because we were in a hospital, my baby would be saved by the Grace of God.  After my nurse left the room, I turned to my Lance and said (of course while bawling), “We are naming her Grace.”  And it fits perfectly.  My son’s labor came with additional complications, resulting in moderate cerebral palsy.  My sweet son had no signs of life at birth, and needed to be fully resuscitated.  From the very beginning, my son has had a very strong will, so it stuck like glue.  I love my children, being a mother is complicated and tough and amazing, especially of a child with special needs, but I would not trade my life for anything.  I am blessed.

*what one word would you use to describe yourself?  Faithful.

*what's your favorite color?  Green.  Or maybe peach.  I have always loved the color green, and I like to wear the color peach.

*Which do you prefer hot chocolate or coffee?  Nestle hot chocolate.

*if you could have a super power what would it be?   Hmmm. I would love to magically change bodies – I would love to heal my son from him physical ailments!  I would also change my body and give me the right size curves where I want them.  And I would love to give and have wings, so we could all fly.

* what one word would you use to describe your business?  Feminine.

*which do you prefer the beach or the mountains?  I prefer the beach, but my fair skinned family should really be in the mountains.  One of our favorite vacation spots is Glacier National Park.

*favorite season?  Spring.  So refreshing and new.

*favorite pizza toppings?  My favorite pizza is italian style margarita pizza.  Settebello in SLC is my fave.

*night owl or early bird?  Both.  I stay up late working on Pretty Little Me or editing photos for my photography business, but then I get up at 5:45 every morning to walk/jog – that is my therapy. 

*favorite TV show or movie?  I love Parenthood.  Oh man, so real. 

*what is your guilty pleasure?  Sex in the City reruns on TBS or E, so the naughty parts are censored.

*what is your favorite phone app?  Instagram.

*what is your most embarrassing moment?  Eeek, too embarrassing to put on the www!!

*what's your favorite ice cream flavor?  Limited edition Amaretto Almond Crunch, by  Haagen-Dazs.  Seriously, heavenly flavor, and so silky.  Dang, I need to go buy some more.

*how did you meet your spouse?  Church.  Nothing fancy, but so happy we ended up together.  He’s so awesome, he is my rock.  I really like my husband.

*what's one food you can't live without?  I really love food (dangit!), I could do without mushrooms however, they are the yuckiest!

*what was the happiest day of your life?  when my house is clean and my kids are happy and my work is done . . .  no,  i don’t think I have had just one happiest day.  I have many happy moments I lock in and continue to create with my family.

*favorite sport?  I am not an athlete, at all, but I do like watching college football with my husband.  Oh and I do kick lance’s butt in Wii bowling.  I do enjoy yoga and jogging, if I get off my behind to do it!

*name one item on your bucket list . . . I have never written a bucket list for myself.  But a few things I am hopeful for are . . . to go on a mission with my husband someday, have my own craft room – that is all white and pretty, become a runner, have more children, take my family to Disneyland and create something that will magically wash and dry and fold all my laundry!
