Valentine's Day Printable Party Kit Giveaway WINNER!

If you hadn't realized, the Valentine Printable Party Kit Giveaway was Dear Wallets, FIRST EVER giveaway! Now as much as I love spoiling people and giving things away; I never wanted to make my blog center around giveaways and sponsored posts. It's distracting and boring, and in my opinion usually takes away from the blog. However, given that I was opening my shop, and [well...attempting] to not write posts this month, I thought that doing a giveaway was the perfect thing! And I'm glad I did, it was fun getting some new faces around here! But I'm sure you're all dying to know who won, so without further ado....[drumroll...]

Congratulations to Misty who is now a fan on Facebook of my design shop! 

Thank you all SO much for your support, for taking the time to leave a comment, share my shop and become a fan! Misty you should expect your file within 24 hours to the email you used to enter the giveaway!
If you were waiting to purchase the Party Kit until after the giveaway, now is your chance! Because at 12 EST the current sale is OVER! But you can snatch it up right now for just $14!

Dear Wallet Update PT2-Self Sustaining

Where do I start...I've been gone for almost exactly two months (and I've missed you all so much!)-the funny part is, when I stopped posting, I actually got MORE page views than when I was writing 3-5 posts a week! I've received tons of emails, comments, and messages from people concerned about my absence and I'm so honored! I'd love to say that I am 'back', but unfortunately I can't guarantee that. I can promise to try to post as often as I can though!

 I wanted to give a little sneak peak as to one of the many reasons I've been gone, I started a new project called 'Self Sustaining' and includes not only handmade props and styling, but self portraiture as well! This first piece is a concept shot for the cover of my coffee table book. I have not released any more teasers of the props or shoots I've completed yet though. To read more about this project head to my other (neglected) blog Ariana Neala!

 

A little information in case you don't feel like reading two blog posts:

Entitled- "Cereal'
"A series of masks and accessories were created for this shoot [one pictured], 3D triangles created using a total of 9 cereal boxes and archival glue. Roughly 3 hours for creation of the accessories. All materials were up-cycled from finished cereal boxes from multiple families."

I really urge you to read my little teaser and please, please, PLEASE pin and share and make it go viral! My hopes for the project extend much farther than a simple coffee table book and I need your help to get there! Thank you! =)

In other blog news, I have an INSPIRATION project for you tomorrow AND a (late) Liebster Award on Wednesday! Plus more sneak peaks of what I've been up to coming up after Thanksgiving!
