{Blogger's Day of Silence} For Japan With Love

 

  We have all seen the devastation that the earthquake and tsunami caused when they hit Japan. The images and video are heartbreaking. So many will struggle to survive the cold and harsh conditions with very limited food, water and shelter. 

  Two amazing ladies, Lydia {Ever Ours} & Lucy {Utterly Engaged} have teamed up and organized {For Japan with Love} a fundraiser for earthquake and tsunami relief.  

"All of the donations {For Japan, With Love} will go to ShelterBox, which provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most. Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items."

 Along with many others...
I will be participating in the "Bloggers Day of Silence" on Friday in support of the disaster relief efforts being organized for the people in Japan.

Please join us this Friday March 18th in the 

Bloggers’ Day of Silence. 

My blog will be silent, which means no posts will be featured to honor and respect what has happened in Japan.

My sincerest thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.

Blogger friends if you're interested in participating, please contact lydia@ever-ours.com or info@utterlyengaged.com for more information

{Giveaway} Your Baby's Room - Baby Rag Set

UPDATE!!

We have a winner!

Comment #18

Congratulations!

Please email stefanie@annaandblue.com to claim your prize.

One of my daughter Madeleine's first gifts was a personalized gift set.  My eyes lit up at seeing her name on the adorable baby rag and bib.  There's something about seeing your child's name personalized that is always so fun.  The adorable set was created by Amanda, owner of Your Baby's Room.  Your Baby's Room offers fun and unique personalized items for babies and kids. I have been giving personalized gift sets from Your Baby's Room as presents ever since. 

 How did your start your business?

I started this business with my sister 9 years ago.  We had so much fun making all the other little things you need for "your baby's room" that we decided to start with craft shows.   Five years ago when my sister moved and I was on my own with the business, I bought an embroidery machine and began making  personalized burp cloths (which I call baby rags).

What inspires you when creating your products?

I am inspired by babies!!!  Every time I see a baby I feel the need to make something for them!!  It is an amazing feeling every time a customer sends me a picture of their baby with one of my products.  I am also inspired by my husband and kiddos.  As my kids have gotten older, I try to make products that they would want.  This is why the duffel bags, towels and make up bags have been added to the site.   

I feel very blessed to be able to have this job that allows me to work from home so I can be there for my kids.  I feel so lucky that I am able to earn a living doing what I love!

 

Amanda is giving one lucky winner 3 personalized baby rags!

Tammy is giving away an adorable zebra print necklace and hair bow set to one lucky winner. 

Pink and black beaded necklace with interchangeable cupcake pendant. The necklace is about 10 inches in length and can be adjusted with the chain. This necklace is matched with a pink and zebra printed print bow with a sparkly gem in the middle.
