Eye Candy Creations blog is having a Birthday celebration!!!! Whoo-hoo!
Today it turns the big 3 ! Three years ago I sat down and nervously wrote my first post. If you wish you can click here to read.
Im opting to call it a birthday celebration instead of an anniversary. My blog started out like a newborn baby. Not too sure what I wanted to share and say and kinda feeling my way around blog world. I took baby steps and learned more and more about how to make my blog represent ME to the best of my ability. By the big 1 & 2 I had grown more and more comfortable in writing, and having fun expressing myself a bit more and really sharing myself with my friends and readers. Unbelievable doors have opened, and I've developed the most incredible friendships which where all created and blossomed thru this amazing blogging experience.
Now that Im celebrating the BIG 3 I feel like my blog has grown, evolved, and matured a bit. Naaaa! I will never take myself too seriously and I will always want to share the fun, silly, pretty, and simple things life has to offer. I do however like to think my blog get's better with age??? hee! hee!
In honor of this BIG day I am having a SUGAR~LICIOUS giveaway!
Drumroll.....
The goodies are as follows.
Eye Candy Creations sugar-filled kit.
(loaded with pretties and goodies inside)
This is just half of the goodies.
Flirty girl lip gloss. Perfect for the summer. Love this stuff!
A new set of tags I've created in which you can use for your girlfriends during gift-giving.
These beautiful embellished girl tags will look darling on a gift bag going to your blonde, red, or brunette girlfriend.
Also included is a sweet of lamb tags
Last but not least....a beautiful table dress mannequin with frilly petticoat. I used these beauties on my tables at my event. They look so pretty on a dresser!
Oops! I can't forget the most sweetest birthday bunny.

OH Jenn! What a sweet giveaway. I so love your blog, I have so much fun when I come to visit you. I have even bought magazines because you have been featured in them. I have always loved those little dolls you create with. I remember as a little girl all the brides would drive around with them on the hoods of their cars, with matching ones for each bridesmaid on theirs. So of course they were always in my dream wedding plans,as every little girl has! Then there is the music you play on your play list, that also takes me back to my childhood. My mom always sang along with the radio, when she was baking, or taking a long bath(lol) many of the songs you choose are the ones that were in her repertoire.
Any way happy blog birthday, and don't change a thing about your blog, I just love it the way it is and so look forward every week to visit Georgia! Vanessa
