Custom House Portrait - Giveaway!

For a while now, I've wanted some type of drawing of our house that I could frame and hang up. Since this is our first house, I thought it would be a fun way to remember it and bring it with us if we ever move. A couple of weeks ago, I randomly saw a house drawing that Kim had done on Instagram and I fell in love! I immediately went to her Etsy shop, GallaDoodle, and contacted her about doing a custom house drawing for me. Kim was quick to respond and super helpful. I purchased a custom drawing listing from her shop, sent her a photo of our house, and she knocked it out of the park! I LOVE the way this turned out and can't wait to print it and hang it up.

Just for reference, here's the photo of our house that I sent Kim:

Didn't she do an amazing job?? I reached out to Kim and asked if she'd be interested in doing a giveaway for custom house portrait on my blog, and she was kind enough to say yes! You can enter using the Rafflecopter giveaway below.

If you don't want to wait to see if you win, be sure to check out Kim's Etsy shop and buy one for yourself! They would also make a great housewarming gift :)

You can also follow Kim on Ingstagram, where she posts pics of the fun drawings she does, and read more about her adorable little girl and fun projects on her blog, Galla Baby.

Old Factory Candles--Great Christmas Gift Idea (& Giveaway)

I don't know about you, but this time of year, I am burning candles every chance I get.  When it's cold and dark outside, one of the first things I do when I get home from work is light a candle.  I love the coziness it adds to a room, and of course, the scents are great too.

I was recently able to try an Old Factory Candle Gift Set thanks to BrandBacker.  Old Factory Candle Gift Sets contain three different scented candles that each burn for 20 hours.  I love the fact that each gift set is themed with related fragrances.  I chose the Fall Harvest gift set, which included pumpkin spice, cranberry, and autumn leaves.  The candles come with super cute labels (even on the bottom) and in a nice box too.

 I haven't burned the cranberry one yet, but when I smelled all the candles when I got them, it was my favorite scent, so I'm saving it for last :)  The pumpkin spice and autumn leaves smell AMAZING though.  The candles give off a strong fragrance, which really surprised me since they aren't huge candles.  It made my entire living room smell delicious, which I loved!

Old Factory Candles are hand-poured in the USA with natural soy wax, self-trimming wicks, and premium fragrance oils.  Old Factory Candle Gift Sets are sold exclusively on Amazon.  These gift sets would make great Christmas gifts or hostess gifts for Holiday parties.  The list of themes and related fragrances are listed below.  There is definitely a set for everyone on your list!  There is even a set for men, and a 50 Shades set...how awesome is that??

Fall Harvest: Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry, Autumn Leaves
Happy Holidays: Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, Gingerbread
Winter Wonderland: Hot Cocoa, Roasted Chestnut, First Snow
Romance: Rose Petals, Champagne, Dark Chocolate
