However, they are so simple that a lady could even just wear them running errands! These studs are an 8-9mm pearl on a sterling silver back.

Shabby Apple Giveaway

Let's start off this Holiday Season with a giveaway, shall we?  This festive time of year brings lots of holiday parties for us - plus recitals, performances, etc.  I start stressing about what I'm going to wear before Halloween. Lucky for you, Shabby Apple is offering a giveaway today and I think the francine skirt is perfect for the office party! It is no surprise that I LOVE Shabby Apple.  They have a fantastic selection of women's dresses, maternity dresses (which I've got my eye on for Christmas), accessories and more.  The dresses are unique and beautiful.  I own this skirt in a different color and LOVE it.  It has a high waist, which helps give me the illusion of a slim waist and a little bit of hips.  It is gorgeous and I promise you will get lots of compliments!

Here's how you can win this skirt:

1. Be a follower of Ducks in a Row and leave a comment letting me know (I know the follower thing is a little finicky - you can always be a subscriber and let me know).
2. "Like" Shabby Apple on Facebook and leave a comment letting me know.

The giveaway will end Sunday, December 4th.  Good luck!

Easy Canvas Prints Giveaway

I am constantly "tweaking" our office bookshelves.  I still have quite a bit of space on those shelves.  Accessorizing shelves is something that I am so not good at!

Do you see that little pop?

That little pop of color makes me smile every time I walk in the door.  And don't you think it should?  Did you read what it says?

I recieved this canvas from Easy Canvas Prints and LOVE that I decided to not go with a picture.  I'm not sure I remember where I got the print from - leave me a comment if you offered it up.  I love it.  Now, don't get me wrong, I love the photos of my family, we just have a lot around. 


Good news - Ducks in a Row readers have the opportunity to win their own 8"x10" canvas print!  Yeah!



Look how little my big kids look - that picture is about 5 years old!


In order to win, you must
1. "like" Easy Canvas Prints on Facebook here
2.  Leave a comment telling me what you would get printed on a canvas (don't leave a comment unless you have gone to Facebook first, please)  Do you have a photo that is your favorite?  Would you do a favorite saying?
 {winner must be a U.S. resident *excluding Hawaii and Alaska due to shipping costs}

Good luck! 

A Little Giveaway!

It's Friday - the sun is shining (as always in Colorado), I'm having a girls night with my 2 favorite little girls, I ran 2 miles straight today - the first since getting plantar fasciitis, the fabric for my office drapes is perfect, my hubby is super cute . . . I'm in a good mood!  Let's have a little fun!

In August, I interviewed Dr. Jennifer Salzer, a renowned dentist.  How fun it was to hear that she is also one of the creators of BRACED-LETS!  These are fun, durable, and wearable bracelets made entirely out of real orthodontic materials.  Braced-lets have become all the craze with the younger set this summer with kids and adults alike collecting the new colors, coming up with new color combinations, etc.  They are not only chic fashion accessories, but great everyday reminders to take care of your teeth (a message Dr. Salzer champions)!

Lucky us, they sent us a set to try out and a set of 7 in random colors to giveaway!  My daughter has gone crazy over them, as have all her friends.  When I told her that one of the sets was to give away, she told her friends that she could give them away.  They 4th grade girls were very disappointed to hear it was a giveaway on this blog!  They will snatch them up in a heartbeat if there is not a big turnout for this giveaway!  They are super fun and make me smile! 

It's little - but fun.  Just perfect for this weekend.

To enter:

1.  You MUST be a follower to enter - so click on my sidebar if you aren't one already!

How simple is that?  Good luck - have a great weekend!
