V & Co

>> Monday, February 1, 2010

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks!

Ever heard of a little blog called

Only V & Co isn't so little. And rightfully so. Amazing Vanessa (the face behind V & Co) fills it full of amazing ideas, life as a mom and wife, and tutorials. Oh her tutorials! Here is just a snippet of what she's got going on:

Click the images below



That's just the tip of the iceberg. I love reading Vanessa's blog because she's funny and real and talented all in one- what a combo! I started reading V & Co back when her husband was deployed far far away and I thought, 'If this girl can do it with four kids and a husband far away, I can surely get my act together.' (which, btw, I'm still trying to get my act together)

Today Vanessa updated her adorable Uptown Jane shop. The shop is stocked with new patterns. Patterns like these:

Don't these pictures make you just bust out your sewing machine?
I know, me too. ;)

And guess what? Sweet Vanessa is giving away 4 of her PDF patterns to ONE winner. The winner will pick any four patterns from her shop. Her patterns are in PDF form and will be emailed to you right away.
On top of that, Vanessa is offering free shipping (excludes barn wood frame) for 2 days and a buy 3 get 1 free deal! To take advantage of the buy 3, get 1 free you will need to buy the 3 you like and then convo her which pattern you'd like for free. Good deal, huh?

So...to win..visit Uptown Jane.
Comment here what you like best over there.
Which will be tricky because it's all good over there.

To get an extra entry:
as always, separate comments please
-Become a V & Co follower
(or let us know you already are)
-Become a 30days follower
(or let us know you already are)
-And for fun link up a Valentine's idea

I will pick a winner this Thurs morning, Feb. 4th.
Good luck and thank you Vanessa!

The strawberry shortcake pattern is adorable! And I love that she sells a kit too!

Amanda Fry,  Monday, February 1, 2010 11:54:00 AM PST  

It's too hard to choose! She is so talented, but I think I may be leaning towards the ruffle pillow tutorial!

Amanda Fry,  Monday, February 1, 2010 11:55:00 AM PST  

I think a fun and easy valentine's day idea would be to fill glass jars with red candy, pink candy, and white candy, all separated so that each jar has just one color. Conversation hearts could also be cute. Another cute thing would be to make a wreath out of conversation hearts!

Amy Croley Monday, February 1, 2010 11:58:00 AM PST

I really like this Valentine's gift idea to give a husband or boyfriend (I am totally doing this). I think I am going to go frugal though and try not to spend too much money planning, but getting restaurant gift cards, movie tickets, etc would be awesome to already have.
A year of planned date nights.

I think it would be fun to put them in envelopes, then mix them all up so it is a surprise when you pick your date.
