All Prizes have been spoken for and contacted!  Thank you so much for playing!  I really appreciate it.


On a side note: I will not support fake Facebook accounts being used to play in any giveaway that I am hosting or sponsoring.  This just means that in order to win any prize from a giveaway I am hosting or donating to another vendor, you must be following the Facebook rules and not using multiple accounts just for scamming companies.  I will not support that kind of behavior, PERIOD!  My sponsors time and efforts are highly valued, as well as my own, so don't even try it here at O. Rae Designs.  


I appreciate loyal fans for O. Rae Designs as well as those of my sponsor's!  Those will be the folks that win something here.  And they will be the ones who deserve our appreciation!


Sincerely,
Julie Campbell - Owner/Designer

Planning a BIRTHDAY party

HOLY MOLY COW!

I just got that creepy feeling in my tummy because in 3 weeks my daughter turns 1... and it just hit my husband and I!

Has it really been a year already?  Where has the time gone?  It makes sense I guess because she's kind of talking already, and walking, and crawling, and singing and dancing, and giving high fives, and smacking her lips for kisses... the list goes on and on... she's just her own little person!  WOW!  It crept up on us fast!

We've been planning a birthday for her so I thought I would share a few photo's with you... I haven't shared with anyone else yet so you're special!



GIVEAWAY UPDATE!! Rules & More

Hey Everyone,


THANKS so much for entering the giveaway!  However, it has been brought the my attention that I am in fact breaking the Facebook rules still... so I'm going to change what you have to do to enter the giveaway...


You only need to "like" our facebook page and the sponsor's facebook page whichever item it is that you're trying to win.  So, you don't need to leave a comment on Facebook... but so I know what you're entering to win, I do ask that you leave a comment HERE on the Blog.


Don't worry if you've already entered, you're in the running & you don't need to fix or change anything.  


But for new entries, please just leave your comment of which item(s) you would like to enter for on this blog, and like the sponsor's facebook page and O. Rae Designs facebook page.


ALSO: I am extending the giveaway through Monday at noon.  It has been drawn to my attention that Facebook gets much more attention on week days, so we'll try this and see if it works.  IT WILL NOT BE EXTENDED PAST THAT TIME!  I promise :)


Thank you for your patience and understanding.  I am new to having a blog, using Facebook to feature my store, and am even new to having a company... so I'm trying my best, and am learning as I go...


The next time I have a giveaway, it should be far less confusing for us all!


Again, I apologize and for hanging in there with me, I'll offer you 15% your next purchase with O. Rae Designs.


Sincerely,
Julie - Owner/Designer

Taking a Moment to Make a Moment

Good Evening Everyone,


I hope everyone is doing great on this wonderful Friday night.  We had 80 degree weather here, so I am lovin' it!


I don't mean to get serious on everyone, especially for a Friday night, but I just wanted to take a moment to share a realization of mine with you... 


As a lot of you know, becoming a mother changes your world.  I'm sure a lot of you thought that becoming a spouse would change your world, too... but not like becoming a mother does.  I have stretch marks that I appreciate (crazy, I know!) because the result of them is this beautiful little person.  I have grey hairs and wrinkles that I'm growing fond of.  I have extra skin that no matter how much I run, lift weights or do lunges will never leave my body unless I actually have it surgically removed.  But, surprisingly that's not a big deal as it turns out.  And below the physical aspects of how much my world has changed becoming a mother, there are the psychological changes as well.  The instant overwhelming fear that was instilled into me the moment they let her lye on my chest will never go away.  In fact, it's only getting stronger.  I worry about days that won't come from 10-20 years from now as I lay in my bed at night.  I build anxiety over her meeting the right guy, and I do mean the RIGHT guy!  I stress more than I ever imagined.  I don't think I'll ever manage to get enough sleep.  I am more irritable than any husband should have to deal with.  Personally, I feel like I'm a mess at least half of the time I'm awake....


But, I am the luckiest girl in the whole wide world.  I have everything I have ever asked for and some how my life keeps getting better.  The pride and joy I feel every day is something some people will only get to dream about.  My husband is the most kindest supporting loving man I will ever know.  And together we've created this incredible human being that I swear is a little slice of heaven... and now, I get to use my creative energy to be a part of brightening someone else's day!  So THANK YOU to any of you and all of you who are supporting me and O. Rae Designs.  We are having so much fun and I hope that we get to continue to do so for a long time to come.


Have a wonderful weekend!
