Fall-isciousness

I'm so excited about fall. The crispness in the air changes my whole outlook. It's so refreshing! In honor of the new season I put together a collection of fun items that say "fall" to me: nail polish in a deep purple, coffee, warm browns, leopard print, military green vest, black accessories with gold studs, and what's that there? A cute little DipDaDip notepad. ;) Enjoy and happy fall y'all!!

And the winner is...

Thanks so much to everyone that entered our giveaway! Because we knew a lot of the people that entered, we wanted to make it as fair as possible. Here's how the winner was chosen: 

Each person was assigned a number for each "entry" they made. Entries included an Instagram photo of a dipdadip product, a follow on Instagram, and a like on Facebook. Also, comments on our blog were counted. So, if you did two of these you were assigned two numbers. Then, using a random number generator, a number was selected. The person assigned to that number is our winner. 

And the winner is...


For everyone else that entered, if you're interested in purchasing the item you chose as your favorite or want to get an early start on Christmas shopping, you can take 20% off your next dipdadip order! Just message me to set it up!!

Thanks so much to everyone that entered and shared with their friends! And congrats Jody!

Lookie! Lookie!

I wanted to share some photos from the "Back to School" editorial we were featured in at Lookieboo.com. They turned out so great and I just love them! All photos by Vida Mia Photography.



You can see the rest of the editorial here. The blogger's daughter, Ruby, is stinking adorable in her back to school gear and the post is filled with other great, handmade back-to-school items like these customized pencils from The Big Harumph




We were also featured in this awesome treasury over at Etsy recently. It's such a cool collection of rustic looking items. Totally digging the vibe!

Anyhoo...this is our 98th post on the blog and we just made our 96th sale over at the shop! We are closing in on 100 in both places, which, I think, is a reason to celebrate! So, we are celebrating with a giveaway!!! A lucky winner will receive a $100 credit to our Etsy shop! It could go towards some great Christmas gifts or just keep it all for yourself! ;) More details to come soon.....be on the lookout!

Been Too Long

Well, once again I've let the blog posts slip. It's been what? Almost 2 months? I sincerely apologize. I know all 10 of my readers have been waiting with bated breath for my next post! Ha! Anyway to catch you up, here are all the reasons I haven't been able to post....


1. I am very tired.

You can blame that one on stay-at-home-motherhood! I love my little Luci bear, but man, she can wear me out! Here's a current photo of my darling....this is where 75% of all my effort goes these days!!!



This was her first time wearing her pink chucks! 


2. I took a summer school course to get closer to my MBA! 

It's a slow going process, but I am in the middle of getting my MBA. I took a 6 week course in Organizational Behavior this summer and had a crazy ethics paper I had to write. I really enjoyed the class. Mostly because I finally figured out why one of my past bosses was a nutcase. Haha! 


3. I worked on a huge order for Cameo PR. 

In the middle of taking care of baby and finishing my class, I had a huge order come in for over 160 pieces. These were included in gift packs that were sent to fashion and accessories editors. It was a super exciting opportunity and I'm still waiting to hear feedback, so keep your fingers crossed for me and my little biz! Check out Cameo PR and see what cool things they do!





4.  My husband has been on tour almost ALL SUMMER!!

I don't think I've talked much about what my husband does, but he's super talented. Can you tell I'm proud? Anyway, he's an audio engineer and has been on tour most of the summer. So I've been keeping the home fires burning as they say all by my lonesome. 

Needless to say, the blog has been way, way, way down on the list of priorities at #1,375. ;)



COMING SOON....


I've got a few things coming up this fall I'm really excited about. I'm getting close to my 100th post on the blog and my 100th sale at my Etsy shop. In celebration, I'm going to be hosting a contest/giveaway where a lucky fan/reader/follower will score some swag from DipDaDip! Look for more details to come.






Our matchbook notepads and "Things & Stuff" notepads are being included in an upcoming Dottiebox! Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, check them out. Dottieboxes make great gifts!!
