GIVEAWAY! {from For Lauren & Lauren}

A Giveaway from Katie at...
'for Lauren and Lauren'!

Before we get to the giveaway I want you to meet Katie!
She is so sweet and I always catch myself asking...
'where did you get this dress' or 'how did you make that'?
I'll let her tell you a little about herself!

Hi For Love of a Cupcake readers! 

My name is Katie and I blog over at . . . for Lauren and Lauren.

I've only been blogging for a few months and Amanda is one of the first blogging friends I've made and I'm excited to be sharing on her blog today!  

I am a wife, lover of Jesus, third grade teacher, aunt, runner, and crafter.   

I recently opened my etsy shop, K.Jane, to share some of the things I've created. 

I started writing my blog for my sister Lauren, and future sister-in-law Lauren who wanted me to share my daily outfit posts, due to my ability to find cheap, cute clothes. In high school I honestly wore sweatpants to school everyday, so I think I'm making up for lost time! When I started blogging I thought I would just post pictures of my outfits, but I realize that is such a small piece of what I want to share. 

My blog has become a mix of my style and craft projects,  but also about what I'm learning in life!

Etsy Shop

Katie is giving away one of her awesome
Rosette Bib Necklaces!

Super cute right?!?!

and you get to choose between these colors...



maroon, brown, white, light blue or light green

Here's how to enter!

(I'm jealous by the way!)

I will choose a winner via random.org on 1/27/12!
(it may take a sec for the rafflecopter app to load)

It's OK Thursday! A Sock Fight?

So remember last Thursday I posted all about my wardrobe malfunctions {HERE}?

Well...it was all good this week!

Alrighty...let's get started!

{Linking up HERE!}

It's OK...

...that E and I actually had a sock fight. Now let me explain! We were folding laundry and E plops a sock ball at me! So I chunk a sock ball at him! hee hee. Reminds me of the scene in Hitch with Will Smith where they have a salad fight!

...that my brain is not working right now and I've been sitting here for 5 minutes with a blank stare haha!

...that we are anxiously awaiting the breeder to email us saying that "Tank was born"! He was suppose to be born on the 17th!!

This is what he will look like as puppy...

and this is what he will look like all grown up!

...that when we get Tank in March...he will be the same size  as Chloe! And will prob weigh more than me!

...that y'all will be bombarded with puppy photos! (can you tell we are so excited!!)

That my window sill in my office seriously needs to be dusted (referring to above photo)...Oopsie!!

That I wish I had a cornerless house. (poor Eric thought I was a crazy woman the other night...I said "I wish I had a cornerless house (of course right after I stubbed my toe) and he thought I said "I wish I had a corner of this house"...meaning time by myself lol.) If it has a corner I will hit it...I've even hit my head on a corner once while bending over.

That I actually googled cornerless furniture!

and last but not least...

That E was updating and backing up my Iphone and not sure what happened...but I lost all my contacts and photos!! Its ok babe I still love you! lol
