Just for Clicks - April 30, 2011

Hey everyone! Sorry for being nonexistant lately. I'm in the middle of a couple big projects and trying to change lots of stuff around. I'll be back within a week or two! In the mean time, here are some fun things I ran into this week...

This coming week is Teacher Appreciation Week and Skip to my Lou has a TON of super cute ideas! 

You can see them all here.

Green Jello with Carrots is having her birthday week starting Monday and has about a billion awesome giveaways going on soon.

Ok, seriously. Are these cute backpacks or what? I found a new site called Me Sew Crazy this week and OH how my daughter needs this!

And now I will leave you with this video. Partly because I'm a sucker for facts and partly because if Blogger doesn't make these changes soon I might explode! So looking forward to it.

Be on the look out for the free May desktop calendar tomorrow!

Just for Clicks - blogging goodness

Being a blog designer, I see A LOT of blogs every week. I'm always running into super cute ideas, deals and posts that are too great to not share with you. There are some amazingly creative people out there! Every once in awhile I'll post some fun things I run into, just for the heck of it. Here are a few of the latest I've found...

I discovered My Memories digital scrapbook software and seriously love it. I'll be talking more about it next week as we get closer to National Scrapbook Day.  If you want to get a head start, you can get the software right now for 50% off. Just use the coupon code SAVEMOM50. Such a great deal!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just made these Make Ahead Muffin Melts from The Pioneer Woman and they are so super yummy! If you like deviled eggs, you'll love this recipe. It's super easy and a great way to use up all those hard boiled eggs from this weekend!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you heard of Better After? Please tell me you have.

This is one of the few blogs I check every single day. Can't get enough of it. I have this bookmarked and want to recreate this room. So cute!

The geniuses over at Silhouette have done it again my friends. Have you heard all about their new Rhinestones? Oh the possibilities. T-shirts, jeans, bags, banners...the list is never ending.

Wow.....do I have a great shop to introduce you too today!! It's bright, sassy and FUN! Any of those sound like you? Then you may already know about Jillie Willie!!

I love this site and could window shop for hours. Jillie Willie is packed full of Designer Fashion Accessories that you will not find anywhere else because they are specifically designed. Couldn't you just bake all day if you were wearing one of these? I can't cook. At all. But I might attempt it if I had this cute thing on.




They provide quality products at affordable prices. Everything is individually designed by their team and made to strict specifications. They search the nation for fabric that meets top standards for quality and fun. I think this necklace is killer! So flirty for spring.

I got to test out this ubber sassy Lotsa Dots Lime purse and just to let you know....Out of the 2 years that I have been doing reviews, I don't think I have ever gotten more compliments on ANY other product than I have on this purse!

It is that fantastic!

Besides the obvious cuteness, my favorite part is the kiss-lock closure on the middle compartment. It's like it's own purse within a purse. So cute!

Wanna own something fabulous from Jillie Willie? How about this sweet and airy Cherry Blossom scarf.

I'm so excited about this week's giveaway! 

If you haven't heard of EmersonMade yet, well then, I don't know if we can be friends any longer. 

Ok not really. Only kidding. 

But HELLO?! Please allow me to introduce you to the all stylish,

EmersonMade

 

Are you dyyying inside yet?! Do you not want to buy every last thing on their website?!

Honestly, if it's one thing they know (and know well), it's style. And comfort.
Ok, that's two things.
But they know their stuff!

I was oh so lucky to get this dreamy shirt to review.

It's beautiful, no?
It's incredibly soft, light (perfect summer shirt) and it fits any occasion. Throw it on with a skirt and flats, or with some nice jeans, a blazer and some heels and your set to go.
I wore mine just the other day with some rolled up, white skinny jeans and a pair of wedges and it instantly became one of my favorite spring/summer favorites.

(I even took a picture to document the whole thing, and sadly, every last picture was insanely blurry, thanks to my 1 year old monster baby who likes to play with it.)

Go have a look at what EmersonMade has to offer. It glorious. And it will make you very happy.
Especially since they are giving one lucky reader this very shirt for free!!

To enter this givaway, just go to EmersonMade and pick your favorite item. Whatever it shall be. Then come back and tell me what it is.

New Blogger Template Styles

Blogger has LOTS of changes in store for 2011 and I'm really excited to see what they all are! I usually don't do well with change, but from what I've seen so far it looks like everything will just keep getting better. Always a plus.
I heart Blogger.

First up...here is something that's kind of interesting. Blogger is coming out with 5 new templates. TOTALLY different from the regular blog layouts.  Take a look.



If you click on the links below you can preview them for yourself:
Flipcard, Mosaic, Sidebar, Snapshot and Timeslide. 


You can even test it out on your blog. Just ad "/view" to the end of your blog url. Click here if you need some help.  


I love how Blogger is really trying out some fun new things. On the other hand, they are SO different from the normal layouts that it will take me awhile to get used to. What do you think? Leave a comment letting me know! 

Blogger would also love to hear what you think of them. Click here to tell them what you think.

Just in time for April showers, I have a fabulous swag item for you all today.

I have been a long time fan of Kidorable for many obvious reasons.

First, well they are just stinkin' cute. Whether your little one is into pirates...

or ladybugs

or even Polka Dots!

Kidorable has so many cute and unique styles to choose from and I love that when you decide on a style you have so many matching extras that go with it. You have the rain coat, the boots, umbrella, a matching wooden hanger and a super cute backpack.

This rain gear is sturdy and made to last. What's fun about it is that it's not just great protection from the weather but add's an element of fun and adventure because it's like putting on a costume or a dress up.

My son has been hoping for rain EVERY day since he got his Space Hero rain gear!

He even wears it inside the house and tries to keep it on at school.

There are so many fun details. The space ship comes shooting off the umbrella and sticks out. The handle is a cool green alien and the boots have adorable space robots. His favorite is the hood of the jacket which is a space helmet. When it gets flipped up he means business and the countdown begins.

Kidorable was nice enough to let one of Leelou's awesome readers win an umbrella of your choice today!

------------------------------------------------------------------

To enter this giveaway just go to Kidorable and pick your favorite style. Then come back and comment on this post telling us which one you would choose.
