WIN the ULTIMATE “Valentine’s Day Basket” + Blog Hop

By 907 Comments


Love is in the air!  

As you know, I believe that all holidays—including Valentine’s Day—are a fun family affair, which is why I hate people poo-poo-ing Valentine’s Day.  Can you ever have too much love in your life??  I don’t think so, that’s for sure!  I LOVE having an excuse to go out of my way and make the day a bit more special for my family.  I would like to say that I remember to do that every day of the year, but that just ain’t the truth.  Life is busy, people.  Busy, hectic, and downright exhausting at times.  And that is why I love the holidays.  I love having a reason and a REMINDER to slow down and savor my family.  I have carried on my mama’s awesome traditions with my own kids, and I would love to share them with you!  You can read about them on my Heart Attack and Secret Cupid posts.

But here’s the thing: I think that Valentine’s Day is also a day for sweethearts.  Regardless of what type of marriage or relationship you are in, it NEVER hurts to do something special and out of the ordinary!  My hubs is about as wonderful as they come (seriously….I SOO do not deserve that good natured man!), but I still love knowing that there are days on which we are going to be reminded to slow down and think of one another.  Sometimes life gets in the way of romance, ya know?  

So if you are planning on celebrating your love this February, 14th 2014 then this giveaway is an incredible opportunity that you will NOT want to miss!  It is being organized by the amazingly fabulous Dating Divas!  I am SOOOO excited about this giveaway and CRAZY honored to have been invited to participate!

Now let’s take a closer look at my basket!  My basket is based around a date post from The Dating Divas called Photobooth Fun.  If you aren’t my lucky winner then you can always recreate this basket with the props included on that post.  But be prepared: it will take you much longer to cut them all out than you think.  Not that I learned that from experience or anything….  😉  OK, let’s take a look!!

Photo Booth Date Giveaway

If you win you get ALL of the things in this basket and even the basket itself!  Score.

Dating Divas Basket-14

Let’s start by looking at the actual photo booth props.  They are all precut for you and on sticks (or mega-cute polka dot straws in the case of the Valentine’s Day ones….cutest!).  I have them in bags to try to keep them safe and unbent on the trip through the mail.

Dating Divas Basket-15

One of the sets is based on Alice in Wonderland.  I love those hats!

Dating Divas Basket-16

The next set is based on Cinco De Mayo.  Ole!

Dating Divas Basket-12

Last, but not least, is the Valentine’s Day set.  SWEETEST!!  I simply love them!

Now let’s take a look at some of the extra props that I have made and/or included for you!

Dating Divas Basket-13

First of all, I whipped up a little bag for you to stuff all of your props into for easy toting.  For your necks I have included a sparkly red scarf and a hot pink boa.  I love a good boa in a photobooth, don’t you?

Dating Divas Basket-8 Dating Divas Basket-7

For your head I whipped up a very silly little red cap (like my Mr. Smee hat, as seen in our Family Peter Pan Costumes from last year).  I also made an INSANELY RIDICULOUS headband.  Even I was shocked by its size and ridiculous nature!  And that is saying something!  (I sortof have an addiction to making “floofy” headbands for my daughter.  It’s true.)  I hope you get a kick out of it.  It’s my favorite additional prop in the basket because it is something that is really only acceptable in a photo booth.  😉  Don’t believe me?  See the pic of me modeling it on Instagram.  Ridic, am I right??

Dating Divas Basket-9 Dating Divas Basket-10 Dating Divas Basket-11

I also decided to include a chalkboard for you to write messages on (which also made an appearance in my IG pic).  I make the chalkboard frame using THIS tutorial and blinged out the frame using THIS tutorial.  Don’t worry, chalk will be included!  🙂

Dating Divas Basket-6

Finally, I threw in a bag of heart confetti (the photo booth people will just looooove that) 😉 and 20 $1 bills, along with a website that will help you find a local photobooth.  Funnest!

Dating Divas Basket-5

Oh yes, and one last thing.  I believe that any gal on a special date with her guy deserves some special bling, don’t you?!  For that reason I have included a very Valentine-y pair of earrings from my jewelry shop, Bombshell Bling Jewelry.  They were made with sterling silver and Swarovski Crystals.  Pretty, pretty, and worth $40 to boot!

Heart Earrings

So HURRY—-enter below and then “hop” on over to enter to win all of the other unique date baskets!  Too fun!!

Dating Divas Basket-4

The giveaway ends at midnight on January 24, 2014, so don’t delay!

  9. Not sure if you are like the other sites but I don’t see the sweepstake entry buttons like the first two I visited. Can you please make sure I get entered in the contest.

    Just so that you know what I like best about yours is the chalk board. The earrings too are sweet but I am not much for bling.

    Reply

    • Thank you, Cathy! I love the chalkboard as well. 🙂 I think I need to make myself one! There was a problem with the entry tool, but it’s fixed, so be sure to come back and use it to enter if you didn’t already!

  104. We are stationed at Ft Bliss, Tx which is right on the US/Mexico border, so the Cinco de Mayo photo props would be so much fun for us to use!!! I love all the props though. We are getting ready to take our 1st family picture in 7 yrs due to deployments and moving, so I have been looking for unique ideas to make it fun and special!

  161. I’m most excited for the photo booth props. My boyfriend and I are are such fun goofy people and never really take pictures. I want some memories!! Also were both in recovery so we don’t really get to go out and have fun.this we could involve our son(16months) with as well ..

    Reply

  181. I’m most excited that this photo booth set can be used by the whole family, and for more than one holiday.

    One of my favorite websites is http://www.brownielocks.com/. We plan special family time around so many unconventional holidays because like you said, being intentional forces us to slow down the pace at which we’re going through life.

    And truly, what’s more fun than having a “Welay Waddle” on Penguin Day when you’re trying to balance an egg (rolled up socks) on your feet like a daddy penguin!

  333. I am most excited for the pink feather. Those are pretty much my go to in a photo booth, because they are silly yet super fun. And I grew up playing with the boas, so it always takes me back to the times of my cousins who were like sisters, where we would all get dressed up or chase after each other trying to tickle each other.
