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!

Give it Away, Give it Away, Give it Away Now!

Jumping into SUMMER Giveaway


Hi Everybody!  Are you ready for summer to get here?  Well, here at O. Rae Designs, WE ARE!  As a fun way to cheer us all up while we're waiting for the sun to do so, I thought it would be great to share some of my favorite things with you... oh, and give them away too!!!  


Generously my favorite crafty companies have donated items for ORae Designs fans!  Isn't that sweet of them?  We thought so, too!  


The SUMMER Giveaway starts Friday May 20th at Noon and ends promptly at Noon on Sunday May 22nd.


There are a few rules though in order to win them... are you ready to hear what they are?


RULES:
-Winner must be a follower of 'Happening: At O. Rae Designs

-Winner must be a fan of ORae Designs Facebook page (we're pretty cool!  you'd want to be a fan even if we weren't having this giveaway)- please do so by following this link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kennewick-WA/ORae-Designs/185559901486196

-Winner must be a fan of the generous sponsor's Facebook page that you are trying to win (They're pretty cool too.  I mean, they're giving these awesome prizes to you for free!) - their link will be provided underneath the photo of their wonderful item.

-Winner must leave a comment with their name & which item they would like to be entered for on ORae Designs Facebook page, so while you're over there "liking" the page, just leave a little comment as well! :)


EXAMPLE: "Julie Campbell - Eggo in the Oven's L'Eggos"


-Winner pays for shipping (if applicable) (All of these items are free, so please only enter if you can accept that you may have to pay for shipping)

-Winner must message me their PayPal e-mail address within 24 hours of winning (by NOON on Monday May 23rd) so that the shipping invoice can be sent to them as soon as possible.  If the email address is not provided within 24 hours, I will choose another winner.

-Winners will be chosen using random.org

-Winner doesn't have to, but I would appreciate it (and it is also gracious) to thank the sponsor on their Facebook page.

**By becoming a follower of this blog, and liking ORae Designs Facebook page, as well as the sponsor's Facebook page, you're entered to win the item... You don't have to be a fan of every sponsor... by doing those 3 things you're entered to win, but you still have to follow the rest of the rules to actually win something :)**


That's it!  Those are the rules!  I will post this awesome giveaway on O. Rae Designs Facebook page so that people can easily tell their friends and family about it, but this is the only place to win those fabulous prizes & doing so by following those rules.


A few things I would like to say... let's keep this nice and fun.  I would hate to not have another giveaway because people are being rude or unnecessary.  These sponsor's were very generous to give things away for free.  So please no cheating... no breaking rules... no being rude or derogatory... be kind!  Oh, and HAVE FUN!!!  I hope this isn't too confusing, and everyone has a good time checking out these WONDERFUL companies.  Remember, most of these companies are small businesses owners doing what they love.  They put a lot of time and effort into what they make.  Please don't just become a fan of theirs for the free stuff.  It's not very polite.  If you're wanting to win something they've made, obviously you like their work... so continue to follow them and see what they come up with next!
