I am so very happy to announce this next giveaway (all smiles from ear to ear)! Do you remember the SB feature of creative ways to use mason jars featuring Etsy Shops? One of those shops was Midwest Finds. I am just crazy about this shop and the awesomeness that is their mason jar soap/lotion dispensers. They’re so simple and so unique! I purchased one and I absolutely L.O.V.E. it! Jena, from Midwest Finds is graciously offering this little gem- the Half Pint Rounded Soap or Lotion Dispenser. Isn’t it divine? Sigh….

This one is my little beauty.

I just adore my header and overall blog look. I have Aimee and Sara to thank!
Aimee designed my gorgeous blog header, blog love buttons and logo. She was wonderful! She was very patient with me through all my different requests. I tried to articulate as best as I can what type of design I wanted- which in all honesty I HAD NO IDEA- and she captured my nonsense head on. Now that’s talent. Thank you, thank you Aimee. Please visit Aimee’s Etsy design shop, Aimee Bee Designs.
Sara was insturmental in getting my blog theme in order. She did alot of tweaking and perfecting. She’s probably still working, as I type, to put the finishing touches. I cannot be happier. Sara is so responsive which is great since we are in two different states! A very ginormous thank you! Check out Sara’s Etsy shop, Savina Ave for all your blog, Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, Blogger, Etsy design and development needs. She is a true creative techie!

Small Burst Giveway-Bijoux Boutique’s black cable knit wrist warmers
Small Burst is still undergoing a makeover. My new blog header should be installed soon. Can’t wait for you all to see it. Despite the mess, the giveaway will still go on!
I bought myself these knitted black Bijoux Boutique wrist warmers right before Christmas. I think everyone should have a pair. They’re great for everyday use. Let’s see, I’ve walked the dogs with them, took a nice stroll with the family in Old Town with coffee in hand and even shopped the malls for Christmas presents. Oh, yes I did. Because they’re fingerless, you don’t have to ever take them off.
Bijoux Boutique carries wrist warmers in different styles and colors as well as other hand knitted accessories. All are beautifully knit by Etsy shop owner, Sandra, who resides in Bellac, France. I love that Etsy features shops from around the world. If you’re a knitter, Sandra also offers knitting patterns!
If you’d like the best accessory of the season, enter to win a pair of Bijoux Boutique’s black cable knit wrist warmers. I know you’ll love them every bit as much as I do!
How do you win? There are 2 ways to enter. All you have to do is blog about the giveaway and link to Small Burst. No blog? No prob. Simply comment on any post.
All entries must be submitted by the end of the day, Thursday, January 21st. Drawing will be held on January 22nd and I’ll notify the winner immediately. The winner will also be announced in a blog post which will include a link to her/his blog (if you have one).

Red Wrist Warmers
Drawstring Sock Knitting bag or small project bag. It’s reversible! How Très Cute! 3 years of French and that’s all I can come up with.

I found the perfect calendar for my office. Isn’t it pretty? It’s from Etsy shop Girl In Gear Studio. I needed something that can sit in front of me when I’m on the computer; something to glance at for a quick date check without having to click on the desktop; something I didn’t have to hang with a tack. This calendar was exactly what I had in mind. It comes with a jewel case that doubles as a stand! I love that it’s different, compact and I’m also loving the lovely colors and designs. You want one too? Guess what?! Stacie, the designer and shop owner of Girl in Gear Studio, was so kind to contribute and be a part of something so momentous for Smallburst-our first giveaway! This is so exciting! Please pay Stacie’s shop a visit. You’ll find other calendars and cards which Stacie designed herself. While you’re at it, check out her photography which you can also purchase. Thanks, Stacie!
Okay, so for the giveaway all you have to do is share your new year’s resolution by leaving a comment. One winner will receive a calendar similar to the one pictured above. The drawing will be on December 31st. I’ll contact the winner via the e-mail your comment is associated with.
Here are my resolutions: lose weight ( this makes it every year), lay off the computer (I’m an addict!), be more patient (especially when the kids are out of control
).
All comments must be submitted by December 30th. GOOD LUCK!
**************just got an e-mail regarding where to comment. If you’re on this post via the home page, look at the top right corner of this post next to the date. See the word bubble? Now click on the number next to it. Thanks!********************

Who knew these canning jars can be so versatile.

Now you can store your loose buttons in one place-from The Cherry Stem

This repurposed jelly jar is just too cute. Midwest Find turns plain old jelly and mason jars into unique soap or lotion dispensers. Gotta get one for the kitchen!

I must have these. This is from One Gift One World. These bottles have a bit of moss, conifer and it’s also pine scented. If you’re going the artificial Christmas tree route this year, this ornament will make sure you’re not going to do without that fresh pine smell.

How creative! A mason jar bird feeder from Black Crow Forge.

Here are some gorgeous vintage pink mason jars from Pretty Darn Cute. What would you do with these?

Easter is right around the corner. What are the kids going to wear? Skip department stores this year and visit Etsy instead. It’s jam-packed with unique, adorable clothes. I am completely in love with Trendy Sisters & A Touch Of Him. They have sibling sets which are pictured above. How cute are those? Great for Easter or family portraits.

This Tioleo seersucker cotton dress is also a favorite of mine. So sweet!

Will you look at these adorable baby booties! If Gracious May was around 2 years ago, I would have been all over it. I would have by-passed Robeez in a snap. Gracious May booties are just lovely. So dainty and beautiful for precious little feet. Not to mention very stylish and classy. I can go on with more adjectives but I’ll just let you check out the uber chic booties and boots yourselves.
