The Countdown Begins

This morning hubby mentioned how this time last year he was on full baby alert. In fifteen days Ivy will be ONE YEAR OLD.

How time flies by.

It's been a good fly by though.

I thought I'd do something fun to ring in her very first birthday, so for the next 15 days I'm going to post some fun giveaways. Starting now!

This first day's giveaway is perfect because I call Ivy my little monkey, and she never goes anywhere without her lovey monkey stuffed animal.

Space Monkey is the new baby of my very long-time bloggy friend Laura Seymour. Space Monkey's all-original affordable artwork on canvas and archival paper was created by Dan Peeler & Charlie Rose, artists for Sesame St, PBS, & Disney.

Not just for the kids' room or nursery- choose from funky and fun to beautiful and unique like the Close Friends: Butterfly that I could totally see in my kitchen.



Leave a comment here telling me which one is your favorite and you can win the print of your choice!

I'll choose one winner at random on the night of Ivy's birthday, September 15. Winner will be contacted via email (so please include it when you fill out the secure comment form) and I'll also announce all winners here by September 16.

Just can't wait until then? Use coupon code BABYSTEPH at checkout to save 25% off your order.

Yay for giveaways! What a great way to celebrate Ivy's big day!

I'm torn between Close Friends: Butterfly and Stitchkins: Ella. Just can't decide which is my favorite. So I have two favorites. :)

Stef said...

Yay!

Happy birthday sweet Ivy!

I think if I had to choose one other than Butterfly then it would be David the Shepard. I could see this hanging on my son's wall as we transition him into his big boy room.

Joanna said...

My favorite is Miriam Watching Moses print. I think it's perfect for another little baby's room, who is being watched over & taken care of.

My favorite is the Space Monkey, but Wog would pick The Joker. He's corny like that!

mandiegirl said...

I love the butterfly! Yay for Ivy! :)

~michelle pendergrass said...

I'm gonna have to go with Franken-Tiki. I'd definitely hang him in my office!

MamaBear said...

I couldn't decide between all the cute African animal prints - we have a 'curtain' (shhhh, don't tell anyone that it's actually a fabric shower curtain) in the playroom and the elephant stitch on print would look adorable in there.

It seems like only yesterday you were munching on celery before she was born....

Jinxy said...

I can't believe Ivy is going to be 1 so soon.

I love the Wildflowers on canvas.

Amanda + Michael said...

I have to say....Butterfly is my favorite. :)

Mel said...

I'm torn! I'd probably pick SpaceMonkey if I were choosing for myself. However, my husband is way into Superman (as are my 6 boys) and even has a Superman tattoo so I'd probably go with SuperGeorge and gift it to my husband.
By the way -
I'm new to reading your blog and I have to say I love it. Your passion for your children is so beautiful!

Laura said...

How time flies when you're having fun!

My favorite is Jungle Twilight 3. What pretty colors!

CandG~Jill W said...

My daughter would love the wildflowers on canvas, thanks!

I cannot believe Ivy is almost one - that means I have been reading your blog for over a year already. wow. Happy Birthday to Ivy!

Celeste said...

The butterfly one is my favorite too, though the turtle is pretty cute also!

Mama bee said...

I love the Close Friends: Butterfly the best, though the jungle twilight series is great too.

Happy early birthday Ivy!

Shea said...

Of course I love the Joker one!! My husband would disown me if I picked 3else!! All of the prints are so cute though.

e-mail: gc_benjisnumber1fan@yahoo.com

Jenn @ Beautiful Calling said...

Well, I like the wildflowers on canvas but DH would completely pick Birdman. Chloe is in love with giraffes so that would be her pick or perhaps space monkey or the peeking duck for John-John.

Which to choose? LOL

John-John turned one in August too....exciting, a little sad and amazing that the time went by so fast!!

Magaly C said...

Great idea! Thanks for the chance to win such beautiful prints! I love the print of Miriam and Moses.

denise said...

I love the Close Friends and Jungle Twilight. Its so hard to believe how quickly and wonderfully years can pass!

Kim said...

I love the Jungle Jazz: Giraffes. The theme in our nursery is Africa, so it would go perfect!

Kim said...

Hmmm ... fyi, the comment form didn't ask for my email, but you can leave a comment @ my blog.

Jessie said...

I can't believe she is going to be a year old! I actually think that the butterfly or wildflowers would go best for us - thanks!

Corinne said...

I love the Stitchkins Ella - we're big elephant fans here so that'd be a huge hit :)

Shaina said...

Stitchkins: Here Kitty.

As a minister, I gotta say I LOVE the Miriam watching Moses.....such a great concept!

designHER Momma said...

Summer Nicklasson said...

Most definitely my favorite is Huckleberry Blue.
Good luck to me!!
Happy Birthday little girl!

Kari said...

Miriam Watching Moses is definitely my fav . . . I'd so put it in Mackenzie's bedroom.

Hope you are enjoying these last few days of "Ivy's First Year." I can't even believe how quickly these last 12 months have flown by. Unbelievable.

Miss Von said...

I would love the Wildflowers on Canvas for my little girls room. What a great way to celebrate Miss Ivy's birthday!

Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting said...

What an adorable way to celebrate her birthday! I was just thinking of her today, as I saw my baby dude standing, again, thinking today is the 1st. In 2 weeks Ivy will be 1. In less than 4 weeks baby dude will be 1, too. And I had to fight back tears.

Heather said...

I LOVE Jungle Twilight 2.

And it seems like just yesterday that you were pregnant with Ivy-it can't be a year already!

Amy J said...

Stitchkins: Hoot the Owl or Here Kitty are my favorite!

Happy Birthday Ivy!

Thanks!

Happy Birthday Ivy!!!!

Maggie said...

Jennipermichele said...

Margaret said...

I love the Close Friends: Butterfly, but I also love David the Shepherd. I would have a hard time choosing between the two! :-)

Heather said...

They are so cute! I like the Space Monkey (I call baby D a monkey too!) and the Jungle Twilight 2. It would be hard to decide which one to get if I won, but it would be a nice problem to have!

PsychMamma said...

Happy Birthday Ivy!! What a great giveaway! My favorite is still the Space Monkey on Canvas. Close Friends: Butterfly is a close second, and the robot one is fun too! Thanks for the chance to enter!

Julie @ The Mom Slant said...

Steph, I'm primarily here to wish you and Ivy a big congrats and happy birthday...BUT, those two retro prints (bat cave and bowl-a-rama) are too fabulous not to call out!

Wishing you two many more. xo

Melissa Joff said...

Where does the time go? No seriously- I have a 10-month-old and I fell like she was just born. Happy almost b-day Ivy! I like the Stitch-Kins: Monkey Do. My baby loves monkeys too.

Carrie said...

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a year! I love the Peeking Duck print - and the Space Monkey is cute, too! :)

Kris Livovich said...

Love the RoBit. Super cute robots.

Em said...

Ah yes, time does fly. School is starting soon and we went to the faculty party tonight. Exactly one year ago was the very first time we left Sierra with a babysitter. The same babysitter was here for a repeat performance tonight, but the baby was oh-so-different.

I love the animals the best. I'm stuck between the owl, the elephant, and the gecko.

I am excited for all the give-a-ways! Hopefully I win one! It would be a first for me!

I really love the butterfly one, but the elephant (http://thespacemonkeyshop.bigcartel.com/product/stitch-kins-ella) is a close call.

So, if i win, I would like the butterfly!
