thank you and a blog-versary giveaway

August 27, 2008


It has been a wonderful first year blogging in this space…

I have made so many good friends through here and I appreciate all the love and encouragement that I have received thus far. To think it all started with a friend, who owned a baby boutique, liking my handmade goodies, and then another friend, encouraging me to blog about it! Through this, I have been able to help my family a bit and I just thank God for this opportunity!!!
To celebrate, I wanted to give away some Cakies clippies, which is what started this all! A lucky winner (those overseas are welcome to join) will receive 3 Cakies clippies of their choice…
The giveaway will end and be announced sometime Friday morning and in order to be part of it, just leave a comment on this post. 
I love making things, learning from and being inspired by others, and being able to share this love for creating with all of you, so thank you!
So, happy blog-versary to me!!!
Also, I had to share some new Cakies stockists:
  • Babylegs Singapore – I am so excited about this because it is one of my first international spots and being sold along side the famous Babylegs is such an honor!
  • Ava and Ashley – If you are going green, this is another place to go!
  • Genes – Totally a rockin’ place to shop and check out their look book because you could be a queen, king, or just rock a Cakies clip!
  • Lilliputians-NYC – Famous for their birthday outfits, they also carry an exclusive line of Cakies crowns that can only be found on their site.
  • Green Little Beans –  Perfect place to shop for that cute, little, organic baby you love and they have the cutest handmade stick ponies I have ever seen!
Thank you Lord for giving Cakies these opportunities!!!
