A Crown, A Sale and A Canvas Giveaway!
 
I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a busy but really lovely day here. First we had a wonderful meal at the Williamsburg Lodge down in Colonial Williamsburg with the team (the cupcake station where you got to pick your frosting and toppings and the hot cocoa were my favorites…the hot cocoa was heavenly!), then we had fun little birthday party for Lillie in the afternoon and after that my mom cooked us a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Needless to say, I am stuffed! And yes, I know, my poor mom had to travel and then cook the whole meal, but if you ever tasted something I cooked you would understand why my mom did the cooking. =)
I haven’t been taking many pictures lately, but I made up for that yesterday and took tons and tons! I will share some of them on here soon. Maybe this weekend if I get a chance.  In the meantime here are a few of Lillie wearing the crown we made for her earlier this week using a mix of a tutorial by my friend Jessica and one by Bethany of the Betty. When I first saw the tutorial on the Joyfolie blog I stored away in my mind that it would be fun to make for Lillie’s birthday. I showed Lillie the picture of Jessica’s daughter Mia wearing it and Lillie thought it was beautiful but asked if we could make hers pink. I was planning on keeping it cream but we added some pink glitter instead. It was super easy. I just painted on coat of mod podge on the trim and then we sprinkled the glitter on and used the blow drier and then added three more cots of mod podge. After that we mod-podged it shut into a circle and let it dry overnight and it was ready to be worn the next morning!

And now that Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday is officially here! To be honest, I don’t know that I have ever gone shopping on Black Friday. I am not brave enough to venture out. Haha! Although, I admire everyone who does make it out to snatch up all those deals, I have to admit I have become much more of an internet shopper. So, for all of you out there that like to purchase gifts online we are offering a big sale on all of our women’s and children’s thermals and sweatshirts! 
Today through Monday they are all 30% off!
Just use the code DISCOUNT30 when checking out.

 I recently received this beautiful canvas from MyPix2Canvas. I actually picked this one out as a gift for my parents but snapped a few shots of it before giving it to them as an early Christmas gift. I love the idea of having a seasonal photo like this on a canvas to add to our Christmas decor.

  40. That is a nice idea Jen. It looks great on the sideboard. Well the little crown couldnt be more darling could it? I loved it on Liilie and it looked cute on the white pumpkin too. I am not a black friday gal, cuz I am allergic to crowds and lines!! I too have grown fond of ordering from home on my computer. It is sooo much easier!

  42. Adorable crown! Love the pink glitter! Your canvas is beautiful – I 'm sure your parents love it. I'd love to win one!

    Also, when you have a moment, what Type of sewing machine do you use? Do you love it? You seem to be able to make some adorable things with it.

  85. You've been getting some GREAT pictures of your two (adorable) girls! When you wrote a few months back that you were having trouble getting a picture of them together, I could totally relate! I have two toddlers and I think I MAY have one or two *great* shots of them. Perhaps you can share tips! 😉

  100. I am going to try my luck at this giveaway and I sure hope that it is lucky!! 😉
    Thank you, Evelyn Pintor

  108. I have the most beautiful grandchildren in the world. I would LOVE to see them on that canvas!

  116. So glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love the first picture of Lillie with her crown! Precious girl! Thanks for the opportunity to win a canvas!

  124. Let me get this in there before I ramble a little… I'd LOVE to win the canvas and have a cd full of photos I could choose from that we recently had taken of our little fella. 🙂

    Now, the rambling. I've not commented in quite some time but I've been stalking Dear Lillie just as much as always and love every single thing you post. The kids are simply stunning and sweet. The house and projects are mind blowing. And you are just as busy bee famous with your new items as ever. I have made some of the changes in my living room that you were so kind to email me about and I'm still working on some. I'm still so thankful for your help and will email you photos once it's all complete. Holidays, a career move/job change, and mamahood is taking all of my time but I'll get there. 🙂

    Hope the little one feels better SOON!

    Take care,
    Amanda

  125. Again, love all the photos and love your cute subjects! Those girls are gorgeous! Your talent is amazing and inspiring, and I'm so glad to have found your beautiful blog!
