Protect Your Pedicure!! Pedi Protexx Giveaway

Welcome to the Pedi Protexx Giveaway
 
Hosted by: Love from Elle
Sponsored by: Pedi Protexx

 
 Finally, Pedicure Protection That Really Works! Pedi ProtexxTM


The hard shell of the Pedi ProtexxTM keeps your polish safe. One size
fits all. Wear them with your own flip flop sandals.
Those paper sandals that you get with your pedicure don’t work. You
shuffle from the pedicure chair to the manicure chair to the car.
You’re lucky if you don’t trip on them. 
And even if you are wearing your own sandals, try not to bump your
polish on the brake pedal.
 Good luck with that!
Pedi ProtexxTM allows you total freedom. Put them on in the chair. Go
ahead and bump your foot.
**************
I have to be honest. I have never had a pedicure. I'm a clip, file and polish my nails at home kinda girl. I throw in the occasional foot or hand soak as well. But I do know that if I go spend the money to have a pedicure done, it better not get messed up 5 minutes after I leave the salon. I'd be one mad lady with messed up polish on my toes! So this looks like a really good idea  that will help protect the investment you've made in yourself!

Peyton Embossed Patent Tote Giveaway





What is the most you've ever spent on a purse? Before I was a Mom, I carried the smallest possible little purses, well wallets with a should strap is what the really were. All I carried was cards, ID and my money. No make-up, hair spray or phone. Once I had to start carrying all the things a baby might need, anyone watching me leave the house would have sworn I was moving out! It has taken years to scaled back down and get used to moderate sized purses and totes again!

    How many purses or totes do you own? Do you have a purse that is your favorite or is your "go to" purse that matches everything. I was never one carry anything more than a wallet until around the time I was pregnant. After our son was born I became a human pack mule! I am trying to scale down and carry smaller more stylish purses. This would certainly fit the bill!

    Hobbies! What Do You Do For Fun?

     Do you have any hobbies?  I love crafting.  I am all over the map .. I love to paint. Wood, glass, metal clay pots, gourds, spoons ... anything paint will stick to. I also love fiber crafts. I don't know how to crochet or knit, so I do other things.. I love to weave and make blankets. In 2011 I bought a floor loom from a lady and in conversation with her, I learned that there was a local fiber guild! I made contact with the lady that heads the guild and began attending the monthly meetings in January of 2012... I fell totally in love with it!
     It makes me nervous sometimes because sometimes it takes me longer to "get it". I often do things differently or backwards from others. I am left handed and become so accustomed to the fact that I automatically adapt things... sometimes it DOES matter if you're doing it backwards though! Sometimes I get what I think is a good start on a project only to hit a dead end and have to start over. Sigh. The people that attend the workshops are so great. They are funny are fascinating. Everyone brings something different to the group  and are so generous with their knowledge and techniques. I have learned about many different things that I would never have attempted on my own.  Sometimes I learn that I really love the new project and make more on my own. I totally enjoying growing my own gourds and then drying, prepping and painting them! Other times I find out that I really dislike the project and it comes home and is put away, never to see the light of day again. Beading with seed beads. HATE IT! I am fascinated by the things others can make with them, but one of our projects was a lip balm cover. It was seed beads that when strung made a super cute flower pattern. I kept getting it backwards and having to start over. And those beads are instruments of torture! They are so tiny! Needless to say, the lip balm cover did not get finished. We have done some great stuff. We have learned Natural Dyeing, Drop Spindle Spinning, basket making, weaving and twining. I would show you a photo of my craft room, but it isn't really MINE yet.... I am redoing the garage into my space so I can spread out and not set up projects on the dining table that have to be moved every time it's time to eat! So I'll wait until that's finished. While I have given a lot of the things I have made away as gifts or sold them, here are some things I have made:


    These are blankets I have woven with a small square loom.






    Wrapped Metal lid Snowmen


    Door Knob Key Holder, Painted Grater, Photo Frame, Door Knob
     Key Holder



    Recycled DC Snowman, Painted Spoons, 3-D Photo Frame
    Springtime Gourd Back

    Springtime Gourd Front












    Snowman Gourd


    Wood Sign From High School Art Class





    Paper Mache Egg Basket, Yarn Wrapped Basket, PaperMache
    Egg Basket with a REAL Decoupage Egg, Purple Mache Box

    Glass Last Supper Plate, Leaf Pounding on Fabric, Painted Kitty
    done in High School Art Class, Wooden Eggs




    Leaf Pounding Close-up






    Glass Plate Close-up



    Baby Hat









    Stepping Stones Painted for a School Auction




    Twining Bag

         Twining was one of the latest things we learned at the fiber workshop. This is one of those things I found that I really love doing. It is a weaving method that the Cherokee used to make bags for collecting herbs, flowers, roots, etc. This is the one i started at the workshop and I am already halfway done with a purple one. I think I'll be making more of these for the girls in our families for Christmas gifts!
         So there you have it. I LOVE crafting and creating stuff. What kind of hobbies or crafts do you do? Do you create to keep or do you give things away? I'd love for you to share!
