January’s Fabulous Sponsors

Come meet the fabulous ladies sponsoring my blog this month! This is a great group of gals (yay alliteration!), and you should certainly check out their blogs and shops, and say hi to them on Twitter. A few of the ladies are even offering discount codes, so don’t miss out on that! Aside from the normal intro paragraph and links, I also asked the group a few fun questions – see their answers below. 🙂

Also: have you signed up for the Be My Valentine Gift Swap yet? Why not!?

Mama Marchand’s Musings is a lifestyle blog about the life of this creative mama! I write, honestly, about the ups and downs of mamahood, marriage, friendship, health, food, and fashion, with a little bit of dry humor and insight thrown in. I also own the Etsy shop, Mama’s Nest Designs, and it’s filled with jewelry made with new and upcycled elements!

I don’t have a favorite mythical one but I think prairie dogs are pretty darn cute.

Hi! I’m Kristina the writer behind The Streeters Unlimited, a blog about our life – filled with love, business (my business and promoting other businesses), inspiration, food and everything in between. I own two companies – one of which is our Shop – Streeter, Ltd: The Shop, that is filled with unique hand created gifts and home decor including air fresheners, lip balms, paintings, necklaces, and more. I live in the beautiful state of Colorado with my husband Ryan and our two dogs – Rudy & Wyatt – plus our 3 cats and 2 fish.

To find out more, I’d love for you to swing by our little part of the blog-o-sphere and say hello!

Depends on the day. Usually Turquoise or Persimmon, but I’m loving browns & blues right now.
What is your favorite mythical creature?
Probably gnomes!
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
Hmm… tough question. Probably some type of feminine looking tribal design, maybe incorporating my initials? or something…?

Manda Jane from Elf House Chronicles

Blog | Shop | Twitter | Facebook

My life was turned upside down 9 months ago when my Prince Charming came waltzing into my life with his 4 kiddos. It’s been a whirlwind ever since, as they have moved in and we have blended our lives. I’m definitely learning to embrace life’s unexpected. I went from being single, never married and no kids to a full-time girlfriend and step-mom. I love zombies, Alice in Wonderland, baking, jewelry making and re-purposing vintage finds. I’m obsessed with anchors and I’m a self-confessed purse hoarder!

What is your favorite color?
I would say right now my favorite color is shades of blue! I’m currently working on my new jewelry line and I’m finding myself drawn to blues and golds.
What is your favorite mythical creature?
Do zombies count? My kids make fun of my slight obsession with zombies and the zombie apocalypse.
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
It would say ‘Coordinator of Chaos’ because that’s what I am 🙂

 


Jamie from Easily Dunn

Blog | Shop

A ballerina, magician’s assistant, black belt, and former model finds true love. A sweet little baby falls from the stars. A tale of gypsies, dinosaurs, and high seas adventure. A chronicle of everything we love, everything we do, everywhere we go, and all the days we felt alive.

What is your favorite color?
dark purple/black/teal/gold/sage
What is your favorite mythical creature?
A manticore
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
It would have to be the sun emblem from my shop. It’s significant to me in so many ways that I’m just going to end up having tattooed somewhere after baby comes.

 


Angie from Lariats and Lavender

Blog | Twitter | Facebook

Hiya! I’m Angie, a 22-year-old wife, fur and feather momma, gamer, geek and artist living under Utah’s western skies with my gorgeous wife and soul mate Jen, our kitties Wedge and Mau and our cockatiel, Jango. Feel free to stop by my little home sweet home on the web and say hello!

What is your favorite color?
Blue (especially TEAL BLUE!!!)
What is your favorite mythical creature?
Sea monsters! (a la Nessie… who I swear IS real! *wink*)
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
Most likely, I would choose a calm colored shirt (think a dark gray or black, possibly light blue or sage green) with sketchy chakra’s down the center. (Also possible: a fairy, a pine tree, a sea monster or other creature, a tree of life or a peace sign… I love this question!)

 


Taryn from Edge

Blog | Twitter

I’m Taryn Blake, a quirky, type A, free spirit who has been described as “rock & roll chic” – whatever that means. I’m an event planner and writer from the east coast. I’m a coffee addict, ask a lot of questions, and find inspiration in everything. You’ll see a bit of that ‘everything’ on Edge – my rad little blog.

What is your favorite color?
Black
What is your favorite mythical creature?
Fairies… that counts, right?
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
It would be black with studded detailing spelling out “rock and roll chic” – why not embrace it, right?

 


Colleen from Paisley Boulevard

Blog | Twitter

My blog is just a fun place. I do crafty diys, posts about my family, recipes, random musings, vintage treasures. I started it for fun knowing that I would soon become a stay at home mom and that I would need an outlet for myself creativly and a space that was my own. My vintage shop will be having a grand opening soon, and I am really excited about it.

What is your favorite color?
Hmm. I don’t really have one, but I have favorite color stories and texture combos 😉 Black and white bold strips, lace and creams all mashed up are my favorite right now. Cornflower blue is really pretty too.
What is your favorite mythical creature?
Ooh, I guess a pegasus? The flying horses? Always thought they were pretty magtacular. 😉
If you were designing a custom t-shirt, what would be on it?
It would be black and white striped, under a layer of cream lace maybe… are we talking screen printing? I have no idea!
