You guys!! I am SOOOOOO FLIPPING EXCITED to announce a giveaway from Vol. 25. You may remember a blog I posted a few months ago while surfing Etsy where I found something I HAD to own!
I contacted Jessica, the beautiful voice behind Vol 25 & told her about how “I will be grateful for this day.” is one of my personal mottos & also the tattoo I have in honor of my husband & son. Through a few emails we set up a chance for one of my lucky (like, REALLY lucky) readers to win a $20.00 gift certificate to her Etsy store. And to be honest- I had to choose the ‘I will be grateful for this day’ print because it’s SOOOOO me- but there were at least a dozen more I could see living in my house one day! They are all so cute & quirky. Like these for example??

I am definitely purchasing the print with the tree & the custom initials like STAT.
Yeah, they are all just too freaking cute for words. Jessica is too cute for words! -Just check out her blog & see for yourself! I’m pretty much a daily follower now!
Here’s how to enter: Visit Jessica’s Etsy shop VOL. 25 & leave a comment telling me which awesome-printed-on-canvas-print you MUST HAVE to decorate your space with! No need to be a mama! Anyone can enter!! Even Canada!
I hung mine in my bedroom next to our bed so we can always remember to be grateful for everything around us.
You can follow Jessica on twitter at @vol25 & on Facebook
Winner will be selected at random on Sunday, May 9th!
