Cute Hair Bows by ChickyDs!

Good morning, and my deepest love and thoughts for the USA today in rememberance for the events on 9/11 all those years ago. It's strange as I remember switching on the news the morning everything happened, and watching events unfolding before my eyes. It was a very sad and awful day, I can't imagine how it must've been for those in the fray and their families and friends. I am humbled by the fact that since 9/11 so many people have come together and done so much to set a great example for society in the USA, and it just goes to show that there is such strength in the human spirit. The best of wishes to you all.

Here is my feature on ChickyDs!

You may remember Danielle from a previous feature I had done on one of her store Danizabeth, full of beautiful and vibrant retro photography! Today I have the pleasure of introducing her other store ChickyDs which shows of her talents as a crafter, and her hair accessories creations. Danielle from Peru, IL in the USA has always had a love for the arts and found herself growing up with the inner knowing that she would persue this avenue as a career. She both studied and works in Graphic Design by day, and her Etsy business was born out of an urge to do something crafty and a trip one day to a hobby store that inspired her to indulge further, beginning her Etsy journey.

Hey gorgeous and colorful hair bows are made literally for everyone, be it a newborn baby, fashionable teen, a busy career lady or a bride to be! There are tonnes of different designs to browse in store, yet you also have the option of contacting Danielle for bespoke accessories. There are so many styles that I noticed when browsing from extravagant bows, to beautiful sprays of ribbon giving a buyer lots of inspiration to accessorize their favourite outfits. The choice given is vast and she has even taken seasonal holidays into account and has plenty of suitable hair pieces to purchase for special occassions.

She has a blog which I have introduced in the past and it's good to see that it's still going strong, full of features, personal posts and pages to learn a bit more about Danielle throughout :)

The Face of Bounty?

Could Be The... Face of Bounty?
Please vote for Aayla :) ...

I am super excited at the fact my daughters entry into the Face of Bounty competition had been accepted and is now live for votes! I don't normally bother with competitions of this sort, yet on this occassion I couldn't help myself!

The morning I entered the competition, I had been going through tonnes of images of my children to update the family album, when I had come across this one and as I always do with certain photos I ended up in a blubbing heap of cuteness because my daughter really has brought out the soppy mom in me lol! And when looking at the company Bounty a bit later on for other reasons, I then found this competition... then found myself on the entry page... filling in the form... uploading the picture... send... Yup, so there we have it! Lol!

I would love to see how far my daughter could go in the competition in her catagory for this month, so it would be wonderful if you could offer your support and cast a vote for her on her page. I believe that you may have to register before voting. I am not sure about that. But if you do vote for her I'll be very grateful :) Have a great weekend!
