Have I told you all about my latest obsession in addition to all things photography? I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but I’m totally and completely obsessed with Etsy.
My lack of crafty abilities combined with wanting to support small business has led to a full-on, in need of Dr. Drew*, ADDICTION.
Most recently, I’ve bought a handmade baby gift for a friend (I’d link to it here, but she might read this and I want it to be a surprise.) I’ve also been marking hundreds of items and sellers as favorites for Christmas gift ideas. If I’ve been absent from your blog lately, it’s not you. It’s my Etsy ADDICTION.
Since we’re moving into a new house soon and away from this floral infested rental, I’ve been scouring Etsy for cute and affordable art for Carson and Ella’s playroom. One of the shops I found was studio jk vinyl.
Studio jk vinyl has a wide selection of wall decals that are so unique and creative! I’ve narrowed it down to getting the kids’ monograms/names, crayon decals with their names, or maybe going with an owl theme in the room.
I love that you can choose colors and personalize the wall art with names. I think my love of monograms and names MUST be a direct result of my 3rd stint being a southerner! I also love that there are things that aren’t for KIDS, but for design-savvy ADULTS, like I dream of being.
Guess what!?
One lucky person will win a $25 gift certificate to studio jk vinyl for today’s Reader Appreciation giveaway! I really wish I could enter my own giveaway!
To enter, check out studio jk vinyl and tell me how you’d spend your winnings!
Comments will be closed at 7 AM, EST, November 14, 2008. Good luck!
*Speaking of Dr. Drew, have you seen Celebrity Rehab on Vh-1?! Oh man. I feel like I shouldn’t be a voyeur on those people’s painful therapy sessions, yet I get sucked in every time it’s on.
Comments closed. Thanks for playing.
Congratulations to Dore, winner of the Flippee!
I’d love the blossom tree for my daughter’s room! Their shop is so perfect!

I love Etsy and love vinyl lettering! I’d go with the large monogram.
Have you seen some of the off kilter stuff they have on Etsy? The things people will make and actually sell!

I have wall decal words (play, laugh, sing, etc.) in my playroom that I love. And so easy.
I would love to win the Large Monogram for my daughters room!

carma´s lastest post..Why I don’t
You know I met Dr. Drew AND Adam Corolla back in the mtv Loveline days at the VMA’s? Got a picture, too. Unfortunately, my ex is also in that picture, but I kept it around anyway.
Just sayin’, because I like to pull that out of my pocket if I see an opening
I know, it’s totally off topic, but I’m on an off topic roll this week and got my butt chewed once already for it.
I’m going to stop talking now.

Oh, and I can’t enter this contest – you know, apt living and all, but I’d totally get the small dandelion if for no other reason that I have some plates that match it EXACTLY – color and all.
Natalie´s lastest post..Lesson Learned – For Now
I would get the decal that says “learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present.” That’s a very good statement to try to live by.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the birds on a wire – sooo adorable!
I’d go with the classic monogram for the wall. It’s not as permanent as a tattoo but its something you’re going to want to be able to live with for a long time.

Those decals are so adorable, I don’t know what I would pick!
I just redid by bathroom, and those little birdies would be perfect. I need to check if they come in brown…
I was just thinking — how is it possible to have a decently cute house when you can only shop at Target and Kohl’s and then all your stuff just looks like every other mom you know. I’d change all that by getting either the dandelion or the birds on the wire for my OWN bedroom!

I am totally addicted to vinyl lettering now for my walls. I like these better than the ones you get at Joann’s.

I would def. order the custom monogram. With the gift card I could get two (one for each boy) for the price of one.

i’d love to get some of the vinyl wall clings for my office

abunslife´s lastest post..Tarnished
I have a baby due in March and I’d love to have any of the cute things to put of her wall. I would probably go with a monogram, but I still haven’t picked a name!
This is amazing! I’ve seen a few giveaways lately, but this is the first time that one actually applies to me. So here’s where I hope I win with all my might.
Eric and I are expecting our first baby in February, and I’ve been scouring Etsy almost daily for wall decals for the room. My absolute favorite is the dandelion. My dad collected Opus dolls when I was little and loved the comic strip. And, as all fans of Berkeley Breathed know, Opus loves dandelions, so I have a soft spot for them. If you get a chance, you should read his children’s books…there’s a dandelion in each one.

I’ve been crushing on this dandelion wall decal for awhile now…I definitely need a little sprucing up in my room! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17185333
I love the little birds on a wire, it would be perfect for my daughter Ella who we call bitty-bird. She is in need of a little extra attention these days, her sister is having some “issues” and has been getting more than her fair share of mom’s attention. Even if I don’t win I am going to order those little birds, thanks for the inspiration. I am so in need of a little inspiration right about now!
Heather´s lastest post..Phone Etiquette
I would totally get http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=14772214 because the sentiment ….well. I like it. A lot.
