I just love fresh roses. :)
I *especially* love the multicolored ones- it’s like a rainbow of roses! :)
My favorite grocery store has these gorgeous buds for $7 a dozen– so I try to pick some up when I know we’re having company over.
The only problem with that is then I have to arrange them myself. And I am just terrible at that! Is that just me? Does anyone else lack the necessary gene required to neatly arrange roses in a vase?? :p
But they match the kitchen pretty good, huh?? :)
Check out that vase… This is *definitely* a “company’s coming over” vase!! :) It was custom made and engraved by Paula from Plays with Mud.. And look at that- she used a Pea Font! :) That’s Pea Lacy Chunky. Isn’t that cool?? :)
Can you *believe* that gorgeous detailing?? Outta this world!
Look what else Paula came up with.. Oh my goodness… I admit, when I first saw these mini vases (engraved with Create, Inspire, Dream), I wanted to snatch them right up and use them in my scraproom! :)
Can you imagine all the cute stuff I could hold in here?? Colored pencils, pens, brushes… Meep!
Yes. These vases are so cute, I actually “meep’d”. I’m not even sure what a meep is. It just slipped out.
But I’ll have to wait… cause THESE mini vases are going to one of you!! :)

Oooooh! Beautimous!!! I LOVE THOSE!! Very cool shop… I love the set of Rustic Stripe Vases.
I am dying to have those!!! How stinking cute! I think something Christmasy (is that right???) would look cute in them!!! Wierd, I know, but I am dying to get the Christmas things up!
SUCH cute stuff! They would make wonderful XMAS gifts!
Meep! I love it!
The mini vases are really, really cute. I can’t get over how cute they are. I think those are my favourite. And I love how the crayons look in them!
I love the forever wedding vase AND the kids bday plate! They are both awesome, along with everything else she has on there!
These are absolutely gorgeous!! I can’t wait to checkout the website! Thanks for sharing~
Your roses are just gorgeous! And I’d LoVe to receive ANYthing in Paula’s Etsy store (or shown in your post), although when I saw the “christ be the center of our lives” vase, I knew that was THE item I’d most like to have. I think it would be a perfect anniversary gift for my hubby…may have to go back and add it to my cart. ;) Thanks so much for giving us a chance to win those darling mini vases, Heather!
You are so right! Those are the cutest gift stuff I have seen in a long time. Very original and adorable! I hope you get tons of cute stuff from her.
I am a sucker for cute vases…I LOVE these!
Oh my gosh… I want those for my craft/sewing room.. they are so cute.. so hard to choose what you would like from her shop.. they all awesome.. I do really like the “Christ me the center of our lives” She is very talented.
What a great entertainment piece. I’d sure like to have one, I better add it to my WishList. he! he!
Those mini vases are adorable! I really like the cookies for Santa plate. That would be such a fun tradition to start with my little 15 month old this Christmas. All her work was adorable though and very hard to pick a fav!!
I really like the forever vase and the platter. Very nice!
What beautiful, beautiful workmanship! I love them!
I would love to have the Personalized Wedding Vase FOREVER. This would make a nice addition to my family room and would be a great way to commemorate my marriage.
Those look so great!
Omigawwsh!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THESE! I think I “meep’d” too! Well, mine was more of a “Squeeeeeeeeee!” but I am sure they mean the same thing!
Girl, I can’t pick just one thing I can’t live without from her Etsy shop because….. well, I want it allllllllllllllll! Thank you for the chance to win, but more importantly, thank you for turning me on to Paula’s shop! I am going there again, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs and smooches and all that mushy stuff!

I love those and I went to the site and loved everything there. I wish I had seen that earlier, since I have a wedding on Saturday that I would have loved to get a vase for! My favorite item si the special day platter!
I love words and fonts and would love to get my hands on these.
LOVE them! Thank you so much for sharing! Her site is wonderful! I would love to win them!
I love the cookies for santa plate and the vase you put your roses in. So dang stinkin cute!
I like the “You Make the World A Brighter Place” vase. And the rustic stripes vases. And the new baby plate.
Like you, I can’t just pick one!
Those are so cute! I would love to win these.
I love it all! The more I look, the more I find that I want!
OMG, those are all amazing. I’d die for those mini vases!!
I would get the Christ Be the Center of our Lives vase. That is so true right now as my mother is going through cancer treatments. We are putting it in God’s hands that she will be cured.
These are all great. I love the crayons in the little vases… that’s too cute.
Wow…she has talent! I love both wedding vases.
These little vases are just TOOOOO cute! I would love them for my studio too!
<3 Lisa J.
those little vases are so cute & would look just perfect in my creative corner!!
Oh how I love the FOREVER vase. . . might just have to get me one of those!!
Oh my, I love the little vases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, her site is full of beautiful goodies. I really like the tall vase that you have your roses in as well as her striped vase. Please pick me…..I’ll even start saying “meep”….LOL
hugs,
Shayna
I LOVE the cookies for santa plate, too cute!
Love the vases. LOVE the font. Love sweet stuff to store all my little stuff in.
I love the Christ centered life vase! They’re all awesome, it’s hard to pick just one! I am not crafty enough to think of things to use the fonts for that can be displayed like that–but I LOVE those Pea fonts!
LOVE the vases! Wish I could be that creative!
I love those mini vases! If I were ordering something I think I would choose the “Christ be the center of our life” vase. Or the Santa plate.
Oh, never mind, I can’t decide.
I LOVE LOVE the marriage display plate and the vase that said ‘Forever’ and the anniversary date. LOVE. IT! I’m lucky enough to have a husband that brings me flowers often, so that vase would be put to good use!
Love her work – I’m on my way to visit her Etsy store now!
Adorable!! i want one of everything in her etsy store!!
PS: Roses are super easy to arrange–just pull off almost all of the leaves and cut them down so that only 4-5 inches of the stem/rose sticks out of the vase. :)
Wow. What beautiful work. My must-have is the custom personalized new baby plate. I have a 6 month old daughter, and think I just might have to place an order soon! Love your site, by the way. I visit almost every day! Keep up the great work.

I’d love to have the personalized baby plate! With several newly married cousins, there’s bound to be a bun in the oven soon! (We’re all in our *very* late 20s) And…meep? I know a gal who meeps. That’s exactly the sound she makes when she hiccups. It’s hilarious and adorable!
*Beautiful roses by the way! I love the yellow/peachy colored ones!
I am not sure I could chose any one item from Paula’s Etsy Shoppe. I LOVED EVERYTHING!! And I absolutely “need” the mini vases!!! Don’t feel like the lone Ranger – I can’t arrange flowers at all but your roses look beautiful!
Wow! I def. love the baby plate and the stand, except I would want my three kiddos names ingraved instead! She has super cute stuff! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
Well it looks like you highlighted everything from her shop in your post! The mini vases are not in her shop, but they are my favorite!
I’m loving the wedding one. What a great idea!
