Spreading Some Love Giveaway

By 339 Comments

Can I just tell you how excited I am about this afternoon’s post??? Really, I’m super psyched!

So do you guys remember back a few weeks ago when I attended Sarah’s Bridal Shower? Many of you mentioned how much you loved all of the details at the shower, which had been created by our friend, Christina, who really is just an amazing talent.

Back when I had my bridal shower (which seems like an eternity ago!) Christina also helped with many of the details for that, too.

There was lots of fall décor, which I absolutely LOVED (which should be no surprise, given my slight obsession for fall décor).

While Christina has been doing all of this amazing work on the side for a while now, she just recently launched her own website, christinanorrisdesigns.

I’m so glad that Christina finally decided to launch her website because like I said, her work really is incredible (not that you need much influencing, based on the pictures above, right?). Winking smile

Christina offers customized art for for every special occasion in your life, ranging from invitations, to paper bouquets and flowers, to signature tree prints. For anyone planning on getting married, Christina is definitely your girl.

That bouquet you see up there? That’s our friend Kanika, who just got married a couple of weeks ago, and the bouquet she’s holding is totally paper. I loved it.

And I can actually say that I am the proud owner of one of Christina’s Signature Tree prints, which I received as a gift at my shower.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Well when I approached Christina, asking if she’d like to “spread the word” a bit more about her new site, she was extremely gracious and appreciative, and even offered to “spread the love” with a little giveaway for all you STSL readers!

Christina is generously offering one of her matted 8×10 Customized Signature Trees.

  114. Such a cute idea and they turn out so beautiful! I love the idea of using as a guestbook as a wedding because you can use it as a decoration in your home afterwards instead of a traditional guest book that just gets put away somewhere. I went to her website and I love the fingerprint guest trees. I also like the signature tree with the gray and pinkish colors. I wonder if she could do it in purple and gray? Hmmm... :)
    Reply

  116. check out her page as well and honestly i love them all. i love love the signature tree and guest finger print but the flowers are awesome and not something completely traditional. my boyfriend and i are going to celebrate 4 yrs this september. although its a little girly it would be fun to give him

  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome

WOW you guys.👀 #ad . In case you haven't heard, the new sandwich is made with a Beyond Sausage patty, which packs in 10 grams of 100% plant-based protein.💪🏼 No weird tastes. No weird textures. Just a GOOD sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich! And it keeps me full for hours! ***GIVEAWAY ALERT!*** Want to try one for yourself? I've got the chance for TWO of you to win $25 in Dunkin' gift cards! Here's how to enter: 1) Follow @sweettoothcourt and @dunkin on Instagram ✅ 2) Like this photo ✅ 3) Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite go-to order from Dunkin'! ✅ . . *Giveaway is open to US Residents, 18+ only, and will be closed at 11:59pm EST on (Sunday 11/24).

  • Jay and I had been planning a secret overnight trip to @greatwolflodge for the boys for about a month and a half, and seeing their reaction to the surprise made the wait totally worth it😲(you can see that in my IG stories today!). They swam until their fingers and toes were raisins, played a gazillion games, stayed up way past their bedtimes, and ate like kings.🤗 Aaaaand, now I’m ready to be back home, in my own bed 😴 #greatwolflodge #surprise #familyfun
