Introducing...Jennifer Duncan-Dole with At Your Door!

Our newest sponsor is Jennifer Duncan-Dole with At Your Door!!!

Do you want to give a personal, handmade gift to your friend or family member? At Your Door can create wreaths customized for your loved one. Each wreath is wrapped by hand and adorned with buttons, felt flowers, argyle patterns or your team's logo.

Says Jennifer,

"I started creating these handmade wreaths as gifts for my family members who already seem to have everything.  Because they are handmade, they are each unique and customized for the recipient.  Each straw wreath form is hand-wrapped with yarn then adorned with felt flowers, argyle patterns, buttons or a team logo.  Pricing will reflect the fact that they do take many hours to create but can be available for Christmas if orders are placed soon. "

 

$40 for 12 inch wreath, $50 for $14 inch wreath, $75 for 18" wreaths.

 

If interested in a wreath, please email atyourdoorgifts@gmail.com to request yours. Also, check out her  Facebook Page at:

Here are some examples of the products:

Product Review -- I was given a beautiful wreath for review.  Every single person who walks in my home has complimented me on it.  I love that these can be personalized for an individual's favorite holiday, sports team, or favorite color.  These wreaths would make a great gift for the special family member, friend, teacher, or co-worker in your life.  The product is very well-made and the colors are vibrant and fun :-)  I guarantee you won't buy just one!!  

New Sponsor, Heavenly Designs :-)

Welcome to blog Shawna and Gail with Heavenly Designs!  Here is some info about their business....

Heavenly Designs is a family home business that creates personalized gifts for your special someone. We specialize in handpainted wooden Christmas ornaments and themed Christmas trees. Please browse our items and if you don't see what you are looking for please contact us. We love creating special orders and helping you make that one-of-a-kind personalized gift! 


Christmas ornament making began over 40 years ago when Grandma Idabelle and Mom Gail began making roll out clay handpainted ornaments. The process improved to wooden ornaments over the years to allow more durable ornaments that will last many years to become family favorites. The ornaments begin as blank cutouts and proceed through a many step process to end up the beautiful handpainted ornaments. Gail's artistic talent allows each cutout to be painted with great detail. Shawna and Rona add creative ideas and help paint whenever possible.

Product Review -- Shawna and Gail sent me the cutest ornament which is hanging front and center on my Christmas tree :-)  These would make great stocking stuffers and/or could be attached to gifts in lieu of a gift tag.  They are unique and affordable and well made.  I LOVE the sports themed ornaments, as well as the Disney ones.  Here are some examples of their products, which they will be advertising on the FB wall as well....

Another Christmas Sponsor, Suzanne Alice with Wine Bottle Snowman :-)

Our newest blog sponsor makes the coolest, most unique Christmas decor I have seen in a while....It's a WINE BOTTLE Snowman :-) This brilliant creation combines two of my favorite things, wine and Christmas!!!

Says Suzanne,

"The wine bottle is painted with acrylic paint and the cap is made out of felt. The cap comes off and you can enjoy the wine :-) The wine comes in Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet, Chardonnay and the cap can be done in any color felt or college or sports fabric. Once you have finished the wine, you can keep the bottle as a great holiday decoration. It is only $12 for the paint bottle and wine and it is $8 for an snowman bottle with no wine. Anyone interested can get ahold of me through Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=7727780

They are great to take to a party, give as a gift or just to have at home. The wine comes in Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet, and Pinot grigio. You can request any color for the snowman hat or even a sports team fabric and whichever wine you would like.! Please message me, if you are interested!!!"

Product Review -- This Santa went over HUGE at my house!!  This would be an awesome hostess gift for those going to holiday parties this year.   Ours is on our mantel and looks fantastic.  The best thing about it is that it's more of a winter decoration than a Christmas one, so even after the holidays you can keep it up for a few months.  I love this decoration because of it's one-of-a-kind style and it's use of recycled materials.  Order yours today for the holiday season :-)

Product Review -- Brittany was kind enough to give me a Reds Glass Block and I have to say, it quicky became my FAVORITE household decoration!

Product Review:

Heather came over this week to photograph my daughter for our upcoming Christmas card.  I was blown away not only by her photography talent but also by how wonderfully she interacted with my VERY active 3-year-old.  Heather was very professional and time-efficient and it was so convenient that she brought her entire portable studio RIGHT to our home!!   She had a "sneak peak" preview of my pictures available less than TWELVE hours later!!  She is an incredibly talented photographer who produces beautiful work.  Here are some examples...

Product Review

I think this picture says it all.....

My daughter LOST HER MIND when she saw this zebra hat!!  It is VERY soft and well-made and I love all the detail she put into it with the braided ties and stylish flower on the top!  And besides looking fashionable and over-the-top cute, this little hat will keep her little ears toasty warm on chilly Autumn and Winter days. If you are looking for a perfect gift, or even a cute accessory for your child to wear in his or her Christmas card picture, call JoAnna!!! As you can see, my little one wore hers on Halloween and got TONS of compliments!!!  JoAnna's prices are FANTASTIC too. I paid TRIPLE what she charges for a similar hat when my daughter was an infant.  I give her products 5/5 stars!!!  Get yours today!
