Twigs & Treen. And Wooden Rings.

I have such good intentions. And I’m pretty good under pressure, although I don’t prefer it that way. But life has challenged me these last few months and I have found myself busier than ever. Between being a mother, an employer, a photographer, an editor, and the manager behind our Etsy shop, let’s just say there is little time for anything else. Date nights included! Ha! And while I have posted before about being overly busy, abundantly blessed, and overwhelmed with projects that all seem to be due at the same time, I never really knew what BUSY was until I had Eli. Any mother (or father) can tell you. Yes! Life is BUSY. However with that, and while I am almost two months past the date in which I said this would happen…I am pleased and beyond excited to finally share with you our new Twigs & Treen additions:

My father’s amazing RINGS! And I’m sharing my joy too. Keep scrolling…

Here is a peek at some of my favorites.

My father amazes me everyday and I’m so excited to share his talents with others–I have already been spoiled to have had all of these on my own finger. Just not all at once. 😉

 But now for a DRUM ROLL! Seriously this is more for me than anyone else… 

WE ARE GIVING AWAY A FREE RING!

If you think you might want one of these handcrafted pieces on your hand, then follow the simple steps below to enter. Or, I suppose, you could be nice and gift your winning to someone, but either way, let’s do this!

The person chosen at random will receive 1 ring of their choosing from our Etsy shop, Twigs & Treen.  

And a sweet, little tin of our homemade wood butter.

So, how do you win one of these rings? Simple. Just do the following to enter this giveaway:

  1. “Like” my facebook fan page by clicking here and then clicking the “Like” button.
  2. “Suggest” my fan page with one friend who doesn’t already “Like” it and have them click “Like” too.
  3. Leave a comment on any one of my blog posts. It can be left on anything I’ve posted just as long as you leave a comment on my blog.
  4. Share this blog post by clicking one of the “share to” buttons at the end of this post: facebook, pinterest, or twitter.
  5. Leave a message on my facebook page telling me your name (or page names) so I know that you’ve done the above.

The nitty gritty:

  • You can follow me on Instagram (@shannyv) and I’ll write your name down twice.
  • You can “like” CreekSide Tree Nursery‘s facebook page and I’ll write your name down again. After all, this is where all our Etsy fun started, and this company, is still my heart and soul. 😉
  • The ring will be made within 2 weeks of the selected winner and mailed a few days after that.
  • Likes, Shares, and Comments must happen by NOON on Friday, June 7th. The following weekend, I will announce the fabulous person who’s finger gets wrapped in wood!
  • Send me questions if you have them!
And as I did with my photoshoot giveaway, we will pick a winner at random using the old-fashioned, hat drawing method. (Let me be redundant: Complete Steps 1 through 5 and your name gets written down and put in a hat. If you do anything beyond that, such as follow me on Instagram, or “like” my Tree Nursery, your name gets written down again. And again.) Good luck!

Bohemian Bridals: Sneak Peek

I have been so blessed to have worked with such genuine people. So many amazing artists, who, truthfully, become friends.

At the moment, this Bohemian Bridal shoot is filling my computer screen. I have to pinch myself because while I spent three months dreaming of this very shot, I’m still swooning over seeing it in reality. Especially since it required almost no editing. A simple exposure lifting. That’s it.

I can’t wait to share with you all the lovely my friends and I put together…and the trials in which we overcame to do so.

Happy Monday!

to all the mommies…

To all the mommies who smile until it hurts. Laugh until they cry. Live for every moment. And love like there’s no tomorrow.

To the mommies who seek everything life has to offer for their children….happiness, health, & self worth. 

To all the mommies who clean more than they sleep. Feed mouths more than they eat. And teach more than they speak.

To all the mommies who work tirelessly to set an example. Who give more kisses than words. Who wonder if they’re making a difference. 

You are. And you are more than enough–even if you have to re-learn it over and over again. 

To all the Mommies….and my own mommy… Happy Mother’s Day! Everyday. 

Love to all the mommies. ♥ me & e.
