eShakti Dress Review On the New Blog!

Tweet

Hey Everyone!

I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas holiday, and are gearing up for a fantastic last weekend of 2012!

I was recently fortunate enough to be able to order and review a custom-fitted dress from eShakti.com! How cool is that?! I got to measure myself, plug the measurements into their sizing category, pick how I wanted the neckline, sleeves, and dress length, and send it all in to have a dress tailored just for ME!

As a short, curvy girl, it was a wonderful experience to receive a dress that fit like a glove when zipping it up! I'm sure some of you ladies out there can relate to my trials and tribulations of trying to find a dress that fits and always having that ONE problem area that you can't seem to fix! Well, eShakti can do it for you!

Come check out the review and see how my custom-sized dress turned out on the new blog!

Hey Everyone!
Just thought I'd remind y'all to head over to A Dash of Sarah and get in on some goodies! There's a giveaway I'm partaking in, courtesy of Jules at A Beautiful Day with Target Gift Cards, Etsy Gift Credit, ad space, wall appliques, and more up for grabs!
Also, there's a new recipe for pumpkin-ginger cupcakes on the new blog! The cupcakes are decorated with ghost marshmallows and orange icing for Halloween, but you can easily change it up and decorate for Thanksgiving or Christmas! Everyone knows that pumpkin in any dessert is festive and perfect for the holidays :-)
So, head over there now! And if you haven't already, please do me a HUGE favor and follow me via GFC and/or RSS! Throw me a comment and let me know that you've done so, so I can return the favor!

Sunday Snaps Link Party: Week 8

Tweet

Hello everyone! Today's "Sunday Snaps" is a bittersweet one, because this will be the very last Sunday Snaps link up opportunity. Julie and I are so sorry to end it, but sometimes good things have to end for better things to fall into place, right? Between my school and work dual-schedule and trips out of town to see family, Sunday Snaps has sadly become too much of a burden to host on this blog. 
I will miss enjoying all of your photos each week and seeing what you all have been up to lately. Each blogger who has linked up in the past, please know that I think each and every one of you are EXTREMELY talented! I will still be checking in with y'all to see how you're doing, and to view your lovely photos :-) Thank you for the opportunity to connect with y'all... I have greatly enjoyed it! Please feel free to wear your "I was FEATURED on Sunday Snaps!" button on your blog for as long as you please; you worked hard on your photos and posts, and you deserve to brag about it!
And so, time to feature last week's top three (IMO) pictures:

Photo by Katie Stories I absolutely LOVE the large, muraled golf ball and the beautiful background scenery!

Photo by My Borrowed Heaven I'm loving the way Meg grabbed the still of the children jumping, with their feet and shadows in focus and the children themselves blurred in the background!

Photo by Our Life in a Click I love this photo simply for the fact that it shows the behind-the-scenes on the crazy work and moves photographers will put themselves through in order to grab a beautiful shot. It's all worth it for the final product!
Congrats to those who were featured! Don't forget to grab your special "Featured" button and display it proudly!
