for the fathers {giveaway}

By Nicole

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #2, Angie!

I was blessed enough to have a father who made me feel valuable.

He was there when I needed him (still is), was a living example of honesty, kindness, godliness and working hard. Not that he is without his flaws, but then again, I’ve never heard him claim perfection.

This is what he should be receiving in the mail any day now…

Isn’t it pretty? Its a photo of some of the grandkids (he’s got 9 all together) at my niece’s graduation last month. I created an 8×10 wooden panel in Snapfish’s Father’s Day store.

Its just a small token of what he has meant to the generations he has influenced.

So in honor of Father’s Day and all the truly wonderful fathers, Im hosting a little giveaway that you can use for the special father in your life or for capturing the memories made celebrating him this Sunday. Check out all the cool personalized photo gifts offered this year.

Its not too late to make Father’s Day memorable for dad, at a great price too. From now until June 19, enjoy 25% off Father’s Day gifts by entering the coupon code THATSDAD at checkout.

Need a last minute card or gift idea? Create photo books and pick them up at Walmart while you’re running your errands.

Or if you really hurry, you can order a photo greeting card designed by yours truly from my Snapfish shop…

Win It! One reader will be randomly chosen to receive $50 to spend at Snapfish! Giveaway ends Tuesday, June 28th at 11:59 p.m. PST. (Please note: This giveaway will end AFTER Father’s Day)

UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #150, Ellen!

In a few weeks we will celebrate one little four letter word. And its funny how that one little word can mean so many things.

For instance…

I love Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.

I love being a mom of 3 boys.

I love how my husband makes the bed every morning…even if I’m still in it.

I love my dog, Nacho.

I love my country.

I love my fabric shaver (the thingy that removed the little balls off sweaters…love).

I love blogging.

I love that Snapfish is partnering with me for Blissdom this year and my wrist will be looking fab in this…

From the silly to the serious, the tiny to the tremendous…love covers it all.

Speaking of Snapfish (which I love…), they’ve got a gob of cool stuff to celebrate the ones you love this Valentine’s Day. Like these photo cards…

and this flip book (I have one of these…they’re super!)…

I love these key rings too…

And because Snapfish is all about love for the readers of The Pixel Boutique, they are generously offering a $50 gift card to one reader! You can buy your wife that cute little photo bracelet, or your hubby a mug with your mug on it, or your parents a flip book full of pictures of little Suzy and little Johnny!

Win It! Here’s how to enter:

Comment on this post telling me what you might buy with your $50 gift card if you win.

{Good Cause}

I love Christmas. I wish the sentiments of this season lasted year round. We seem to be more giving, focus on what we have rather than what we don’t, and we spend a little more time with the most important people in our lives…our family.

You have to know by now that I love me some SnapFish. I use them all the time to process my photos for scrapbooking. I love their photo gifts and their photo Christmas cards. And I love that they team up with charities on various campaigns.

Right now SnapFish is partnering with the Make-A-Wish foundation and has created the “Wish” book, a customizable photo book, perfect for birthdays, baby showers, or special events. The best part? 30% of the proceeds go directly to Make-A-Wish. Love that.

Look how cute…

{Good Will Towards Men}

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:10-14, KJV
