Rubber Stamp Press review with Giveaway! CLOSED****

I am a huge fan of sending real mail and greeting cards to my family/friends. If you've been around Pour Some Sugar On Me for long you know this. When mailing stuff you need a return address, obviously! LOL. The holiday season is almost in full swing, so that means lots of writing return addresses. If you're sick and tired of using the generic Humane Society or
United Blood Drive stickers and writing your address by hand like I am, then
Rubber Stamp Press will help you out.

Rubber Stamp Press makes some unique and very stylish address stamps. Just think...your arm and hand won't go numb writing out all of your holiday card envelopes or even on wedding invites, etc. Just a darling stamp from this shop and an ink pad cuts the time down for all your mailing needs. I actually use my new stamp on everything! It doesn't matter if it's one or two bills going out, I always use my nifty address stamp because I love it. I got to trash all the charity stickers that take up room and make a cluttered mess. In fact, they didn't even have my correct name, so I hated to bother using them at all!


This modern address stamp design below is the one I picked out, but it's obviously in my address...
{the address below is NOT mine!}

The font & simplicity is what sold me;The owner at Rubber Stamp Press makes it very easy to design the stamp you choose, and gets a proof to you in 48 hours or less! Very fast service is definitely a plus, especially for a personalized item. Once you approve the stamp, it gets created and mailed {usually} within that very next day.


I put together a small collage of some of my faves from RSP....

These stamps are so inexpensive, that you could get one made up just for a wedding or other special occasion. Not that you'd never use it for anything else, but that way you could get it themed for something special.

Address stamps make perfect gifts for those hard to shop for friends and family too!!!

If you don't have an ink pad, no worries.
Rubber Stamp Press sells those as well...in over 60 colors.

Rubber Stamp Press is giving away any one stamp to one of my readers! Woohoo.

Odeshop review with Giveaway! =0) CLOSED*****

Screen printing that adds that extra spark to your home!

ODE SHOP
is a cute 'lil Etsy shop
selling monogrammed linen pieces for framing or for pillow covering.

I never thought of myself as a monogramming enthusiast like some people get about it, but it has been growing on me the past year. I feel like it has something to do with my age??? Does that make any sense? LOL

The work here at Ode Shop looks like this:

It's such a different style of framing decor and I'm diggin' it! It's always so cool to see the different stuff people come up with to create in frames. You can put these pieces anywhere, but I think it makes a fancy statement for a bathroom or office area. There's no need for an expensive fancy-schmancy frame from Bloomingdale's to put with your Ode Shop monogrammed artwork, you can totally hop into a thrift store and find an in expensive perfect frame for this and it would look great!

I have mine in a cheetah print frame shown below.
Ode Shop created one for us; Erin and Bryce Mills "e-M-b".

Not only do they do monogramming, but there's different characters printed on linen you can get as well...

All of these are perfect for a beach house or to accent a room decked out with sea themes.
Here's what the pillows look like that I mentioned above:

Thanks to Ode Shop, one of my readers has a chance to win a 5X7 monogrammed linen print!

Inspire Your Walls review with Giveaway! CLOSED****

One major problem with my house is that we haven't done much of anything with the walls. They are mostly bare with only a few pictures here and there. I just started getting into vinyl wall designs, and it's made a world of a difference.

Inspire Your Walls
is a one of these companies offering unique vinyl creations at a very reasonable price!

My favorites have got to be the chandelier designs that a lot of companies are creating. Here's the awesome one offered at Inspire Your Walls...
I am amazed that such a simple product can create such a difference. That plain white wall is now much more after applying the wall word or design, and it only takes approx. 10 minutes total to measure and apply {depending on how big your design is, of course}. You can create these drastic changes without lifting a paintbrush and making a huge mess. No taping-off or draping the floor in plastic...easy peasy! =0)


Inspire Your Walls sent me the cutest vinyl lettering for my 9 yr old son's room. I placed it right above his closet doors:

Here's how cute it is in my son's room...

It didn't overwhelm or make major changes to the overall decor, but it added just that little "oomph" to his room! I love it, and so does he!

Below is a few more designs that Inspire Your Walls offer:

One of the great things about the vinyl wall decor is that they are removable. You're not stuck with a design that is permanent in case you change your mind and want to switch up stickers every few years or so. Like I said above, it's just so easy to add and remove these designs that you can change the look of an entire wall/room within minutes.

Inspire Your Walls offers designs for everyone and everywhere...even bathrooms and laundry rooms. There's a flat rate of $5 for shipping no matter how many pieces you get. If there's something you've dreamt up and would LOVE to have in your home, office, or wherever, but don't see it here, they will create it just for you! Just ask!

One of my readers has the chance to win the same "boy" def. wall word I received, or the elephant and giraffe stack pictured above!! Thanks Inspire Your Walls for this giveaway.

Hostess with the Mostess!!! Celebrating 90 years with a GIVEAWAY! CLOSED***

There was no doubt I wanted to help Hostess celebrate their 90 sweet years of business! After all, Las Vegas (where I am), is one of the top cities per capita to indulge in Hostess Cupcakes.

I'm almost positive all of YOU have sunk your teeth into a Hostess Cupcake at least once, if not once a day! I know this because 600 million of these get eaten every year, and it's this
Hostess Cupcake that is the best selling snack cake in HISTORY! So I know it's not a far stretch to say that almost all of my readers have eaten a Cupcake or 100.

{this sign is antique, please don't run out to your local grocer & demand $0.05 cupcakes!!! Although, the winners of my contest can demand 2 free boxes of cupcakes EACH!}

One very interesting fact about this company is that it's a mystery who "invented" the original Hostess Cupcake in 1919!! There have been numerous companies trying to duplicate the famous Cupcake, but no one can top the best! There's 7 distinguishing icing squiggles on each Hostess Cupcake, and there in fact is an "inventor" known for those! Did you ever stop to count those silly squiggles? I never have, but now I find myself counting on each cupcake. LOL =0)

{Original slogan was "You get a big delight in every bite!"}

In the whole 90 years of creation, Hostess has had to make nearly zero changes in their Cupcake because it has hit the spot from the very beginning. There are some twists they create for special holidays and occasions, however. There's a the popular Golden Cupcakes, and the "Baseballs" made with vanilla icing and red-swirl stitching.

In conjunction with their 90 year anniversary, Hostess is offering 2 of my readers a chance to each win 2 free boxes of Hostess Snack Cakes.
