Owen's aviary: a giveaway

For Cordelia's birthday I made her an owl stuffed animal. After I made her one I just kept making them! They are so fun to create and so cute! I've decided this little pink guy at the bottom needs a home.

My week (in instagram)

Here is a peek of my week from instagram. You can follow me on instagram by searching for alwaysmewithyou.

As I write this post we are actually stuck with a broken down car in Ellensburg Washington (don't worry, before I even finished my post we were already on the road again). If you ever break down in Ellensburg Dean's Automotive is the place to go. We are on our way to a family reunion near Spokane Washington. We spent a couple days at some friends house in the Seattle area. We loved catching up with our friends! We also explored Pike Place Market, the original Starbucks, the Olympic Sculpture Garden, the Space Needle and the San Juan Islands. One of my favorite parts was taking the ferry to San Juan and spending the day together looking at the local shops, driving around the island to see if we could spot any orcas and eating a delicious lunch on the cutest outdoor patio.

Owen has started mostly walking now and only occasionally crawls. He is quite the show stopper. There is something extra adorable about a toddler first learning to walk, waddling with their legs spread too far a part and abruptly falling on their bottom every once in a while. Too cute!

Don't forget to sign up for my first giveaway! I'll announce the winner on monday! http://alwaysmewithyou.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-first-giveaway.html?m=1

My first GIVEAWAY!

My first giveaway! I was going to wait and do a giveaway with my 100th post but I just couldn't wait! :) So heres to post number 88! I am excited to give you the chance to win something I think you will love. If you remember from Owen's 1st birthday there was a whimsical watercolor over the cake table. It is an original watercolor entitled, "Ellie's Balancing Act", from Jasper and Ruby's new Under the Big Top collection on Etsy. From over Owen's cake table at his birthday to over his reading nook in his nursery this watercolor is a beautiful addition that we have loved. 


Debra from Jasper and Ruby is offering one of my readers a 5x7 watercolor from her Etsy shop. Debra lives in Alaska as a stay-at-home mom to her little girl Ruby. She says her inspiration comes from the wildlife in her own backyard, being a former first grade teacher and of course, her daughter Ruby and Sheltie Jasper. You can click here, here, here and here to see some of my favorites!
