Prudent Baby has the wittiest readers. We like to brag about how rad you are to our husbands while they are trying to pay attention to the World Cup or our children. So we thought, why not brag about you TO YOU?! So from here on out, every Friday afternoon we are going to pick a lovely/funny/weird/awesome commenter from the previous week and send her a prize. We’ve been collecting things here and there from some of our favorite people, shops, and sponsors, so we thought we’d share the little riches. Today’s winner is going to get the yard of beautiful peacock ribbon pictured above. I picked it up at CityCraft when I visited Jacinda in Dallas and I think it’s gorg. I think it would make really cute decoration for a purse, maybe a silver one?

So this week y’all were in top form, but my favorite comment came from pieface on the Crochet & Fabric Top post who said:

Yes, crocheter is a word – but you have to really pronounce the “T” so it’s borderline insulting. Makes it more fun to shock the older ladies at the church picnic circuit and such. This top and dress is PERFECT and I can’t WAIT to try it out. Croche”T”ing is the best and so easy and quick, great project – a big thank you from me.

Nothing is more fun than shocking old ladies at picnics. I wonder what will shock me when I am that old lady.

So, If that’s you, use this Contact Form to send us your address and I’ll send your ribbon. Winners have 5 days to contact us with their address before forfeiting their prize to another lucky reader.

So next week I am giving our favorite commenter a SWEET PRIZE from our lovely sponsor FABRICWORM: An entire HALF YARD of NICEY JANE Oilcloth Picnic Bouquet in Moss.

This is a laminated fabric that is gorgeous and easy to work with. So turn on the charm like you always do ladies, we can’t wait to hear what you have to say this week…

Just to clarify:  you do not enter this giveaway by leaving a comment on this post.  You enter by reading prudent baby all week and leaving funny or interesting comments on any/all of the posts throughout the week.  On Friday we will pick our favorite comment from the entire week.  Good luck!

We asked you to make up your own signature cocktail and give it a fun name for the chance to win a set of these gorgeous designer notebooks. And the winner is…
Sarah, who said…
Sarah’s “not now sweetie, mama’s b-izze”: sparkling blackberry izze soda, a generous inclusion of vodka, a squeeze of lime, a sprig of mint

That sounds so yummy! (and made us laugh, which is not a requirement but is oh-so-appreciated)
Sarah, email us using the “contact form” to the left and we will drop your notebooks in the mail.

If you have never visited Sarah’s site, Daffodil Designs, we highly recommend that you stop by for tons of fabulous free printables and super sweet DIY’s. That’s one talented lady, even when she is swilling Vodka! Just kidding Sarah.

I am sooooo excited to share this giveaway from The T Boutique with y’all!  The T Boutique is a sweet shop where you can order customized hand stamped or photo jewelry and other treats like pet ID tags and wine tags.  The reasons I love this shop:  We all love to have things that commemorate our kids, but sometimes they just aren’t so awesome to look at.  This stuff is insanely unique, modern looking, with clean lines and clear style.  I love it. And SUPPORT HANDMADE!

The lady behind the shop is Kim, and here’s what she has to say:

“I am a mother of 3 (4 if you count my husband) and dabble in as much as I can get my hands on (I love working with my hands). I started The T Boutique just before Christmas of 2009 and it’s taken off as an integral part of kimtown. Every year I make gifts to give to family & friends and last year I wanted to create gifts that would last forever. I searched hand stamping techniques, found a passion and here I am! I’ve recruited my 9 yr old daughter and she makes all the kids stuff in The T Boutique. Not long after that, I introduced photo items and our silhouette series. After being a photographer myself for the last 12 years, it was a natural item to add to the boutique. Me and my 3 kids love to go garage sailing, thrifting and market hunting. We get great modern and old world inspiration and always find something fun to bring home!”

Love her! So for this giveaway Kim is giving one lucky Prudent Baby reader the Silhouette Series 3 Photo Necklace above CUSTOMIZED with cameos of whoever you like! You, your husband, and your kid? Your three kids? Two kids and that girl at the coffee shop who always gives you extra whip cream? Whomever you’d like!

To enter this giveaway, head on over to The T Boutique Shop and have a look. Come back and tell us which item is your fav, and since Kim and her three kiddos seem to be having so much fun hanging out sailing, thrifting, and market hunting, go ahead and tell us what your most fun thing to do with your brood is. So I love the name rings (pictured above) and personalized key tags (pictured below) and my fav thing to do with S is go to painting class. Or actually it’s probably taking her to Milk for an ice cream cone but I’ve been doing that too much so painting class it is.

Visit the The T Boutique site here and add Kim’s blog to your reader, then leave another comment for an additional entry. Share the giveaway on facebook by clicking “like” below, or tweet the giveaway, then leave another comment each time letting us know for an additional entry. Come back every day for a new entry.
