happy new year & saturday sponsor spotlight

Happy New Year everyone!!!

It’s most definately been an incredible year for our little family! 2010 brought so many changes – with a new baby, the decision to sell Randal’s Chiropractic clinic & pursue a new career & moving our family of 6 to this little island in the Caribbean. We’ve had enough excitement in 2010 to last for quite sometime thank you very much. 😉

I’m putting together our annual year in review family slideshow to watch Monday night at Family Home Evening and going through all our photos from the past year has been so much fun! While we still experienced our fair share of challenges & ups and downs I can say without hesitation that I am so grateful for each and every experience we’ve had together as a family – good or bad. We’ve learned, we’ve grown, we’ve faced challenges together and we’ve made so many memories together this past year.

It’s been quite the year here at simple as that as well and I can only thank you, my readers, for that! I appreciate your support and your lovely comments and emails so much (more than you know in fact!) I’m so excited for all the fun we’ll be having in 2011!

Be sure to pay these ladies a visit sometime and take a peek at their fabulous products!

Monika from I Love it All has so many darling prints in her etsy shop.

If you are participating this year in Ali Edwards one little word idea then you need to check out her one little word custom prints!

Creairtive is a darling etsy shop featuring simple, classic and affordable jewellery designed by Senja from Sweden!

I love so many of her pieces but these little green ones caught my eye the other day as I was browsing her shop!

did someone say party is a brilliant little shop dedicated to simplifying your next party planning experience with their handmade party packs. 

Not only are their products wonderful but I love popping by Gretchen & Heather’s cute blog where they share so many fabulous party planning ideas! 

I couldn’t say enough good things about Kristina of two happy mamas blog design studio, both personally and professionally. She is a doll and was who I turned to when I was looking to do a quick redesign here at simple as that. I happen to think what Kristina was able to pull together is pretty darn amazing! 😉

You can find information on her blog design rates, check out the adorable predesigned blog templates they have available and more at their website here. If you feel like learning the ropes and taking on the task of customizing your own blog their blog designs basics class is a must!

Jaime, from simply J studio, creates so many cute digital products from scrapbooking kits to darling printables!

 I think these little lunchbox notes would be so fun to start sending in the kids lunches when they start back to school next week!

I must admit I’d never heard of willow house before Stacey Cox, a willow house consultant, contacted me about becoming a blog sponsor. Oh my…they have some seriously cute stuff! Just look at that cute apron!! 🙂

If you feel like joining in the simple things photo challenge the first one of 2011 is tommorow!

 We meet here every Sunday and it would be so much fun to have you join us! Find out all the details here!
