Something To Brighten Your Monday! {Crystelle Chic Giveaway!!}

Did I mention yesterday that I had sand
everywhere?
Like, places I didn't know sand could exist?
All part of visiting the beach on a super windy day, I suppose.

I think I'll be attempting to get sand out of my hair for days...

On a brighter and less awkward note,
It's that time of week again...
yep, time for another giveaway!
I think this may be my most favorite thing about Mondays!

Today, my friend Crystelle, is sponsoring a super great giveaway!

Before we get into all that goodness,
let's meet Crystelle and her adorable family,
shall we?







{Ok, how precious is this entire family??!!}

"Hi, I'm Crystelle (pronounced Crys-tell) a stay-at-home mommy of two wonderful kids: Caitlyn (Caitie) is 3 going on 16, and Samuel (Sam) just turned 18 months and is the sweetest walking tornado, mama's boy ever. I've been married to my wonderful husband, Joel, almost 7 years (oh, my!). 

I've always love crafting and dreamed about selling the things that I made, but wasn't able to do so until Sam was born and I was lucky enough to finally quit my office job and stay home. I love my kids, being a 24/7 housekeeper, butt-wiper and nursemaid (yeah, I don't really cook) wasn't exactly what I thought it'd be. At first, I really wanted to go back to work just to get a break from it all, but one day I decided to open an Etsy shop, dive in and see what happened. 

NOTHING. That's what happened. I opened my shop as Crissy's Crowns and even had business cards made up, but didn't sell a thing. I got really discouraged and didn't do anything with my shop for months. My listings expired {all 3 of them} and I wasn't sure what to do next, how to market myself or take a decent photo. I did know I wanted to change my shop name to something that would encompass both my hats as well as my earrings {and anything else I decide to dabble in} so on Thanksgiving last year I opened up Crystelle Chic. I had a better vision of what I wanted my shop to be as well as new, original designs and much improved photography skills.

While I'm still learning and adapting my business, I'm really inspired by other crafty mommies, like Alex, and hope to one day be an inspiration to others, going beyond just making cute hats. I invite you to come take a look around my Etsy store and Facebook page. I have about a billion new ideas floating around in my head and will be adding new items to my store, so come back often! Thanks for letting me share my passion with you." ♥

Don't you just love Crystelle's story? I think it's such an amazing quality to try something after you feel you've failed, and I so admire Crystelle for doing just that!

Here is a sneak peek of some of the things you'll find in her etsy shop


{ok, you can stop drooling now}

I seriously love the wide variety of items that Crystelle offers...from crocheted visor hats and baby beanies to headbands and earrings - plus some special stuff for the men out there - there really is something for everyone!

And, Crystelle was generous enough to allow one very special Alexandra Rose reader a chance to win

a $20 shop credit
