Authentic Kate Spade Organizer and Target Gift Card Giveaway!

First let me apologize for not doing a giveaway in about a month. Things have been a little hectic around here! I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of running a business and being a stay at home mom. So thanks for being patient with me, and thanks for your continued support with www.DressupJane.com!

Anyways, I thought for this giveaway I would do something fun and share my three great loves (besides my husband and children): Organization, Kate Spade & Target! Every year after Christmas (usually on our flight home) I become desperate to start organizing for the new year. I love day planners, I can literally spend hours days looking for the perfect one online and really I just can't do the Google calendar. I am a paper-and-pen kind of girl. As for Target do I really need to say anything. It's a running joke in our house that my husband's employer should just sign a portion of his paycheck over to Target each month. It would save a ton of time!

So if you are this week's lucky winner, here is what you will receive:

1. Authentic Kate Spade Planner (none of this Canal St. business)
2. A $10.00 Gift Card to Target
 Good Luck! Entry form is below!

This Week's Giveaway a $24.00 Gift Certificate to Sarah + Abraham

I don't know how I cam across Sarah + Abraham. I'm sure it was during one of my unproductive productive nap time Etsy searches. When I first came across Sarah + Abraham it was L-O-V-E at first sight! I quickly ordered Grace a plate (because every child needs one) and it has been a household staple ever since. My love affair doesn't end with the plates, check out her brilliant present sticker ideas (love them!) and the mommy cards. Plus cupcake toppers, pillows, banners, and OH MY it is just all way to C-U-T-E! I just needed to share all her cuteness with my fans! That's why I am giving you a chance to go on a mini shopping spree at her store with a $24.00 Gift Certificate.

You have 5 chances to win! Details are Below!

When I met her and we started talking, I realized she was the mommy who made the most beautiful bows I have ever seen (seriously they are that adorable, I had a group of knitters gushing over their cuteness)! Her bows are like works of art and some of the most original I have ever seen (and believe me I have seen A LOT of bows). I LOVE them and more importantly so does Grace! Anyways, she was super kind enough to donate one of her Halloween Over The Top (OTT) bow for this weeks giveaway!

My Gram made her living by sewing, and my Mom makes extra money buy selling her hand knitted items at Craft Shows. I really wish I had it in me to make things to sell, but  I am still trying to figure out to be on the computer for 10 minutes without having the children go completely crazy, I can only imagine what would happen if I broke out the sewing machine. Anyways my mom was kind enough to donate some of the ADORABLE hats she makes for this weeks giveawy.

This Weeks Giveaway a Skip Hop Zoo Lunchie

I HATE sippy cups, I especially hate them in my bag. There is nothing worse when you're looking for something in your bag only to realize that the receipt you needed to return something to Target is now covered with diluted something or other, or once again I ruined another cell phone ( oh how I hate that thingamabob in the back of the phone that tells Verizon you indeed got the phone wet and there is nothing they can do about it). Oh and don't get me started on crumbs, I hate crumbs on the bottom of my bag and perhaps if I don't have diluted apple juice and animal crackers all over the bottom of my bag thousands of red fire ants will stay away when I place it on the ground at the park ( this happened once and it was a nightmare!). I have had enough and decided to reclaim my handbag for myself!  My babies are getting bigger, but they still can't EVER leave the house with out a snack and something to drink. So when I started looking for something small enough for me to carry around on a daily basis but still able to fit everything I needed I cam across Skip Hop Zoo Lunchies and fell in love! They are all so cute and come in different animal shapes that I couldn't resist sharing! So here is this weeks giveaway One Puppy Dog Skip Hop Lunchie! 

Here are the rules for our giveaway:

1. Become a Fan of Dress Up Jane on Facebook.

2. Ask your friends to become a fan of Dress Up Jane on Facebook.

3. Let us know what brands and sizes you would like to see more of in the store.

This Weeks Giveaway 2 Bows From Proud Child Boutique

Some of you might know that I am an avid knitter (though not so much since having kids and starting a business). One of the many questions I get asked is if I knit things to sell, but this has never appealed to me. Luckily for me I happen to know some super talented Mommas out there who knit and crochet! My friend Sulem, a College Station transplant from California ( like me!) , who is also married to a mathematician (like me!) runs a super successful handmade boutique called Proud Child Boutique. She is amazing, and I have had her make many things for my kids (because I am super slacking crafting momma). 

Here is "P" Wearing a Proud Child Boutique Sock Monkey Hat!

She was nice enough to give me one bow and one headband for Dress Up Jane's 1st Giveaway! Perfect for fall and back to school!


Here are the rules for our giveaway:
1. Become a Fan of Proud Child Boutique on Facebook

2. Become a Fan of Dress Up Jane on Facebook.

3. Tell Your Friends About Proud Child Boutique and Dress Up Jane.

4. For each entry leave a comment in the message box below.

Winner will be chosen at random Thursday Evening to be announced first thing Friday morning ( I like to start the day out right)! Shipping will be provided to the 48 contiguous states.

Giving birth to an idea..

It all started with a an obsession with children's clothes and a box of clothes. Ok, lots of boxes of clothes and an idea to sell gently used high quality children's clothes at really affordable prices. Even before I had children I was secretly obsessed with children's clothes. I remember the day clearly when I saw a little girl dressed in a Hanna Andersson playdress and leggings and thought to myself that when I have a little girl, that is exactly what I want her to wear. Little did I know at the time what the cost of that particular dress and leggings would be.

When I told my husband my idea to start an online children's resale and consignment shop, he thought it sounded great and even agreed to help (i.e., bankroll) my endeavor. He had no idea how big my plans were for Dress Up Jane. I've always wanted to do something on my own, but kept on thinking I needed to wait until the kids were in school, when we had more time, when we were traveling less, when I knew... and that's when I decided to take matters in my own hands and just do it. 

So without further ado I introduce you to www.dressupjane.com

Check out the website, buy some super cute clothing, and let me know what you think. I will be updating the website with new arrivals a few times a week, and let me tell you I have some exciting new arrivals! I also hope to expand to larger kids sizes and add a section for special occasion and seasonal outfits too. Let me know if you have any ideas for the site as well; one mom mentioned having a gently used cloth diapering section on the site, which you should start looking for soon. As for the blog, keep checking back for sneak peaks of our new arrivals, fun kid activities, yummy recipes, and giveaways! 

Also if you haven't already done so, please like us on Facebook! When I get 250 Like's I will be doing my first giveaway, a $25.00 Gift Certificate to www.DressupJane.com!
