Tell us a bit about yourself:

How long have you been interested in making prints?

I started making prints near the end of January. My husband travels a great deal and I wanted to send a short note along with him.That is how "I am Totally Crazy in Love with You" and I love Waking up to you Every Morning" was born. The big joke in my house is that 

I can never find my glasses, which is why eye charts seems so funny to me.

What gives you inspiration?

 I get my inspiration from everyday life, love even sadness. I really believe everyone needs a little love everyday. 

What other things do you enjoy doing?

In my free time I enjoy painting roses, making chiffon flowers for the little girls and simply just living

Thanks again Gisele!

weekly giveaway: amelia kay photography

G'day mate! Time for week 4 of our weekly giveaways!! Last weeks winner was:

Number 23, Kelsey! Congrats, Kelsey! Please email me.


This week we have the wonderful Amelia donating one of her photos. Let's get to know Amelia, shall we?

Tell us a bit about yourself:

I am a self taught photographer living in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. I am also a stay at home mom to a 5.5yo and 4yo! I am originally from Virginia, but I really love living here at the base of the Rockies....but I also miss the trees from back east! 

How long have you been interested in photography?

I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember! I took classes in photography starting in 7th grade and through most of High School. In high school, I wanted to make it into a career, but in college, I ended up getting a degree in Criminal Justice and really didn't touch my camera through out college and for a few years after. It wasn't until my daughter was born in 2005 that I found my passion again. Ever since then, I have been trying to teach my self new aspects of photography. In 2007, my husband bought me macro lens for my camera and thats when I realized how much I love fine art photography and taking close up pictures of flowers, food and pretty much anything else I can find. I opened up my Etsy shop in 2009 and realized my old high school dream of making photography a career! 

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get my inspiration from nature around me. I love spring - its when I get my most inspiration because I love all the amazing flowers blooming that time of year. I just want to try to capture their beauty!

What other things do you enjoy doing?

My husband and I love taking our kids camping and hiking during the spring and summer! I am really itching for a camping trip this summer! haha

Thanks Amelia!

The winner of last week's giveaway is....

Congrats Anna Faith! Please email me with your address!

This week the lovely Rhea of sweetsnthings

How long have you been interested in making beauty products?

I've been making my own beauty products for a long, long time - I have terrible allergies, and as a teenager, I developed a rash on my face that was like an awful scaly burn, along with acne. My doctor had me taking pills, and using two different prescriptions on my face, with little help. Then, my family moved, and it all went away on its own - my new doctor told me it was most certainly due to airborne allergies in my former climate. Since then, I've discovered that I'm allergic to many ingredients in soap, hair products, and makeup. And I was so Goth! I had to stay out of the sun since I couldn't use white foundation anymore, just activated charcoal in petroleum jelly on my eyes and lips. That was a lot of makeup to have to give up, but I'm thankful now, I'm 41 and my skin is still very smooth, and wrinkle free!

Where do you get your inspiration?

Everywhere! My new line has scents inspired by music, the scents of holidays and spring, flowers, and some of my favorite beverages. I'm heavily influenced by the seasons, I have a huge garden and my own chickens, in the winter there's a lot of dried herbs, pumpkin, and things tend to be a little, well, gloomy - in spring and summer, the colors just become brighter, more citrus, it's just more alive for me in the summer.

What other things do you enjoy doing?

I love knitting and crochet, I really love all fiber arts and have recently begun learning to spin my own yarn. I also love riding my motorcycle, and spending time with my hubby and kids, and the chickens - I have 12, and they are just beautiful and sweet. I also have a full time job outside of my Etsy business, but it really doesn't feed my soul, so I'm really thankful for the creative outlet, and being able to share a bit of that.




Thanks so much Rhea!


Now, I'm sure you guys are dying to know what the prize is:


Two lip balms, one in the scent of butter rum and one in the scent of absinthe, one bar of lemon rosemary shampoo, AND one bar of chai tea soap! Awesome right?

weekly giveaway: seaglass papercrafts

Time for week two of My {beautiful} Nutty Life's weekly giveaways! The winner of last week's giveaway is Lauren! Congrats Lauren! Please email me.

This week Christina generously agreed to sponsor it. Let's get to know Christina, shall we?

How long have I been interested in making cards?

I have been a scrapbooker since I was pregnant with my daughter about 6 years ago, but pages always take me so long to finish. About a year and a half ago, I was surfing the internet looking for inspiration when I stumbled across a few card-making blogs. I was hooked! I love stamping, and I love the smaller canvas of a standard card size, although I'm still a slow crafter!

Where do I get my inspiration?

I find inspiration literally everywhere, including magazine ads, design blogs, and the changing colors of the seasons. But my biggest source of everyday inspiration is definitely the network of amazing designers and card makers in blog-land! I have made some incredible friends through blogging about our shared passion for stamping and card making, and this community of crafters is incredibly generous with ideas, tips, and tutorials. I'm always picking up new techniques and learning about the latest trends just by scrolling through my blog reader each day, and I'm constantly adding new blogs to my list.

What other things do I enjoy doing?

 I dabble in crafts of all kinds, including crochet, basic sewing, and projects with my kids. I love spending time with my family, reading (mostly nonfiction), and gardening. I also think of myself as an amateur nutritionist, as I love to learn about food and fitness and try to find room for healthy choices and exercise every day.




Thanks Christina!

weekly giveaway: amanda keaton photography

Hello friends! It's time for the first week of My {beautiful} Nutty Life's new weekly giveaways! I hope your as pumped as I am :)

This week the lovely Amanda agreed to share her awesome photos with you:

{Meet the photographer}

Tell us a bit about yourself:

I live in a small town by the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. It is the perfect location for me as it is an hour from the big city and a hour from the beach. The land is very flat here and littered with farm animals, produce stands and antique stores.
I stay busy with four kids and working as the HR Manager for my family originated business turned Corporate in 2007.

How long have you been interested in photography?

I have been interested in photography since I took my first film class in college. 
My focus in college was actually metalsmithing so I did not actively pursue photography until 2007. During this time I was going through a lot of changes in my life so photography became another creative outlet. 

Where do you get your inspiration?

Photography gives me the chance to slow down and look more closely at the small things in life, the things that we pass by everyday without a second thought. I get my inspiration from merely waking up in the morning. For instance, the farmhouses I photograph are part of my daily commute to work. Most people would pass by those houses without a second thought, but for me the farmhouses invoke memories of the past. I am hopelessly nostalgic so often I try to imagine what the families were like and how they lived. 

What other things do you enjoy doing?

I enjoy spending time with my family, which is quite large with big hearts and mouths to match. You will most often find me hanging out in my parents backyard watching the kids run around while sipping on some wine, enjoying good food and talking about nothing important. All with my camera in hand of course!

Thanks so much Amanda!

Alright, ready to see how to enter? Yeah, I knew you would be :)
