Rafflecopter Winners

I just wanted to quickly announce the winners for the Rafflecopter invites giveaway.
There were only seven people who entered, so I had to pick the winners a couple times, since I got the same winner a couple times, he he. I didn't think you would need more than one invite anyway :)
So ladies, do you want to see if you won? 
Please check THIS POST where they are formally announced with the neat gadget. I seriously LOVE how easy rafflecopter is to use. I just signed in, went to moderate entries, and it automatically picked the winners through Random.org. No sorting through comments, counting comments, trying to figure out contact information, or anything else. An email is required to enter the giveaway so that takes care of that. Easy peasy!!
I hope you ladies enjoy using this gadget as much as I have.

Can I just tell you all, I am just amazed, how much support I've gotten with this giveaway. I am thrilled that my incredible sponsors had such a warm welcome from all of you. I am so happy that I was able to do this for my readers, my friends, and for my sponsors. 
I really wish I could give all of you an opportunity to shop with my sponsors. I've been fortunate enough to   get a little something from almost all of them, and I can tell you, I love them ALL. Now that THIS huge giveaway is done, and now that you know who the sponsors are, I am excited to move on to the next stage in this celebration of mine. Hey, you only turn ONE once right?
So get ready for MORE giveaways coming up, and don't worry, I promise you don't have to jump through a million hoops like you did here. Although I THANK every one of you, for following the rules. You are awesome, and I would hug you all if I could!!
Alright so now that I'm all nervous, I must excuse myself for one second, while I go pick the lucky winner!

Can you even believe it?Let me just tell you, Jenn, TOTALLY deserves to win this. Go visit her blog, and you will know why! Just check back at around the same time when she entered the giveaway, and see what was going on with her, oh man, I could just hug her!! I hope that this puts a little smile on your face girl, and that you can pamper yourself just a bit. You sure deserve it mama!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, now it's DONE. I'm sad, I wish I could tell everyone they won. 
SInce I can't do that, I'll do the next best thing!!
How about I pick 2 more winners. 
That seems only fair, since I was READY to give up another $100 for my other giveaway which nobody entered, WHY not award the second place winner to this giveaway $100.
SO let me go pick another winner, shall I. 
Ok, I'll be RIGHT back!
The winner for the $100 shopping credit is........

WOW, so now that I feel a little better, lol. I REALLY hope all you lovely ladies are as excited and thrilled as I am about these great sponsors. I hope you have TONS of fun shopping with them. 

Now I know it wasn't in the rules or anything, but dang it, if you don't show off all your pretty stuff, and share it with all of us, I'm going to be rather sad. So make sure to take TONS of pictures, and then send them over to me, so I can do a special post on all of you. That would make me super happy! 

Thanks again to EVERYONE who entered, and if you didn't win this time, NO worries. I only have like 20 more giveaways coming up, SOON, or is it more. I kind of lost track, lol. 

For my lucky winners, please start shopping, once you've figured out what you want, shoot me an email, with the items, and I'll pick up the tab girl. Pretty awesome hugh?

Good night friends. I'm exhausted!!

Blog Makeovers & Necklace Winners Announced!!!

WOW, I am thrilled with all the incredible words, comments, and support for my new blog design, all thanks to my wonderful friend Maria @ Agape Love Designs.None of this would be possible without her big kind heart offering to give my blog a complete makeover. Remember she refused to accept any money for this, so I showed her my appreciation another way. By offering 4 lucky winners either a mini blog makeover, or a beautiful bib necklace.
Before I announce the winners though, I wanted to share one more things about Maria, and her jewelry. Last week she did a post on her birds nest necklace (READ IT HERE). She held a giveaway and the winner of that necklace requested if Maria could somehow symbolize a baby she has in heaven without actually adding it to the nest, causing all kinds of confusion for someone when they ask about the third child. 
Maria is no stranger to losing a baby, she had two miscarriages of her own, and she knew exactly what to do. She placed a white pearl in the chain of the necklace, just like an angel looking over the nest. It was just perfect, and the winner of the necklace was left without words, she was so happy with her precious new gift. I just wanted to share this new necklace with all of you, and if you or someone you know has a heaven baby, maybe you would like to get one of these custom birds nest necklaces too.While you are at there, make sure to read her entire post, it is really moving, and her video she took several years ago after going through her miscarriage is just raw, and from the heart. My heart just ached, and while I've never actually met Maria in person, I feel like she is a super sweet, great friend, and I just wanted to wrap my arms around her, and tell her everything was going to be ok. I really love this gal, and I am so blessed she is my friend. Head on over to her blog and say hi, tell her Bella sent you, and show her some love, will you?
Ok now it's time to announce the winners! I'm so excited, YAY!!

Winner of Fabulously Domestic Apron

Totally thrilled to announce the winner.
Thank you to all who entered.
I ALMOST announced the wrong winner, thankfully I double checked, and the winner is:

Chelsea @ Creative Mommas
I guess even had I picked wrong, at least one of these two sisters would have won, he he. I first counted DACIA, as the winning entry #48, and upon closer examination, it was actually Chelsea. 
This also just goes to show, how even ONE entry can be the winning one sometimes. Chelsea only left ONE comment, even though technically she could have left TWO, yet she still won.
"I'm a follower of her blog and I like the personalized baby gift set from her shop!"
So there you have it girls. 
ENJOY, and share some pics with your new apron, I'd love to see it.


Now I MUST get my comments numbered, so this doesn't happen again, he he.
