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!! :)
Time’s up!! Scroll down to see who won!! :)

Love all the pottery and the roses look devine in that vase!
Oh wow-how cool!! I love them all-it’s too hard to choose! The mini vases would look awesome on my mantle…hehe. The personalised wedding vase is a really neat idea!
Oh-and isn’t “meep” from Beeker on the Muppets? lol That’s who I am picturing anyway….
The color of those roses is amazing. I feel that I can’t arrange mine very well either…Not that I receive any very often (*cough cough)
I’m loving that cookies for Santa plate!!! How fun is that?! Thanks for the post.
That Santa platter would be my pick, but I love those mini vases too! Just so darn cute!
I love all the vases, but the Christ vase is my favorite. But I really love the cute mini vases. Makes me want to go out and get some crayons!
Thanks for the fun giveaway – surely do enjoy your posts and fonts.
Thanks for sharing your talents.
The personalized baby plate is adorable, but I love those mini vases too!
I LOVE the personalized new baby plate! I would love to have one of those and of course these super cute vases!!!
I love the Cookies for Santa plate. That would be so fun to pull out every Christmas!
So cool! I love the anniversary vase! That would be an awesome gift to give or get!
BTW: Someone taught me long ago to create a grid on the top opening of your vase with clear scotch tape. Then slip the flowers into the holes of the grid (does that make sense?). This keeps the flowers upright and in perfect position and since the tape is clear, no one can see you cheated!!
I do admit . . . this is waaaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooooo cuttttttttttttttttte! And that’s no exaggeration! I luv those mini vases! I could use ‘em for a lot of things. Hoping to win them or else I have to place a zillion orders too ;o)
my sister is getting married in june, the personalized wedding vase would be perfect!!
I LOVE that first vase you showed, but i didn’t see it on their site :( So if i had to choose something of the etsy store it would be the red peace plate! I really like the color.
I love the peace stamped snowflake plate. So cute! It would make a great base for a centerpiece.
Those mini vases are going to be in my dreams!! I’m drooling over all the beauty.
These are gorgeous – I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like them. I would also love the Rustic Stripes Vases. Aren’t they beauties?!
sooooooo cuuuuute!! =)
Oh I just adore those mini vases! They are beautiful….certainly meep worthy!
I really like the vase with the wedding date. Very pretty!
I LOVE the vase with the personalized special date. It’s so very me! All of her work is gorgeous! Loveee it!

I love all of her pieces! The “Christ be the center of our lives” vase is beautiful! I too would love the little vases for my crafting room. And…..the platters are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this amazing work!
Holy Smokes…. BEAUTIFUL work!!! I’m going to check out Paula’s shop RIGHT NOW! (gorgeous roses too, you arranged them perfectly in my opinion!) Thanks for the opportunity to win some beautiful goodies Amanda & Paula!!
Just this past weekend I was coloring with colored pencils and was wanting a cool place to put them. I really want these. But I also loved the rustic striped vases.
Are moms allowed to enter?? I want the vases. :)
I love it all! Especially the mini vases!
Those are the sweetest vases EVER! They are definatly MEEP-worthy, I don’t blame you. I can’t wait until I’m done school and can actually shop!!!
LOL!!! “Meep!” I love that. I’m so going to start “meeping” when I’m excited. ;)
I LOVE all of her stuff, but I think the Personalized Wedding Vase [FOREVER] would mean the world to me. When my husband brings me the occasional bouquet, it just turn my day/week/month around. It’s those little acts of love that warm my heart!!! :) I’m such a newlywed!
Those mini vases would look wonderful in my craft room as well and then also in spring with mini roses….. thanks for this opportunity to win them
Wow, those are cool!! I would love them!
I agree Meep! sooo cute and original! Love the Peace red plate! simple and beautiful! Thanks for the give away!
Those are just way to cute…I am definitely going to buy some for Christmas and before…I really really want them….
I really LOVE the vases and plates!!! How adorable are they!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE fresh flowers too! I can’t believe how darling the vases are… her website is FULL of the cutest things! Thanks for always posting new places and people to get adorable things from!
The roses are beautiful and a great deal….but the pottery, it’s a big weakness of mine…can’t have enough! How awesome that she used you pea font chunky Lacy!!! I’ll have to visit her sight. Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh goodness! I don’t know how anyone could decide which to choose! LOL! These are all beautiful! The one that absolutely caught my eye the most, if that’s possible, was the “Christ, be the Center of our Lives” vase. That one is very touching to my heart.
I like the “It’s Your Special Day” platter. I have added Paula’s ETSY shop to my favorites at ETSY. Thanks for alerting your readers to both Paula and ETSY. I look forward to each batch of new fonts. Can you recommend a good site for learning more about basic, introductory digital scrapbooking?
OMG…this is the COOLEST thing I have seen…I LOVE it ALL!! The Santa dish is my favorite! I cannot get over these!
Wow! I’ll take one of everything please! :) And if I can’t have that, I’d LOVE one of those forever vases! What an awesome site! :)
I Love, love the vases! l would also love to see the mini vases in my craft room holding my brushes, colored pencils and scissors. Thx.
I love those glasses!!! Too cute!

I love them all!
Cute! Cute! Cute!
WOW – these are fantastic! I think my two favs are the santa plate and the baby plate!
Gorgeous flowers and the pottery is fabulous. I have a friend who would love this stuff!!
MEEP!!! I’ve gotta have these!! What I’m dying to have in my house??? The “Peace” stamped snowflake plate…..wouldn’t Santa be impressed to get cookies on that platter? Thanks for the gift idea!
Love those vases!
Never hesitate to share such beautiful pictures with us!!!
The Roses are so gorgeous. Your picture taking capability makes them twice as gorgeous, I think.
I would love to have the Custom Personalized New Baby Plate. My niece’s birthday is coming up in January so it’d be the perfect personalized and unique gift.
Love ‘em. Very, very cool! I am going to “meep” about them now…
♥ the vases! They are too cute!! Also wanted to say, while I’m leaving a comment, that you and your husband are so cute together and very photogenic! And the pups…adorable!
How cute are those vases?! Wow – what an art! I love the peace stamped snowflake plate in Paula’s shop!
First, I saw your roses and thought they were stunning.
Then, I saw the vases and practically started drooling.
Finally, you mentioned the word “giveaway,” and I’m pretty sure I died a little.
:)
This is great work. I would love to own the personalized wedding vase.
Amanda – I love the mini vases and the cookies for Santa plate. Actually, everything is really nice! Thanks for sharing Paula’s Etsy Shop!
Very cute! I like the special day platter.

How can you pick ONE??? These are the cutest things out there! What creativity there are in mom’s these days!!
Thank you for introducing me to this artist! I just ordered one of the personalized baby plates for my daughter. The prices are amazing and what unique gifts! I really hope I am the lucky winner of the mini vases!
gorgeous! I’m going to go check out her etsy shop right now!
Amanda!! The roses are beautiful! The vase sets them off real well! I am envious of your camera!! I love the mini vases as much as you do!!!
I really love the ‘it’s your special day’ plate…but honestly, everything she makes is wonderful!
So, so cute. Please enter me into the drawing :)
These are ADORABLE! I am definitely going to snatch the cookie platter.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you so very much for introducing me to this whole new realm of phenomenal-ness :o)
I’ll take one of everything! These vases would look sooooo cute in my little princesses room! P.S. I lack the ability to arrange flowers in a vase gene as well so they would have to hold her bows, etc!
Wow! Great looking stuff!
I love the bowls and my husband loves ice cream.
I LOVE those mini vases! Out of the other stuff on her etsy site I absolutely LOVE the “Christ Be the Center of Our Lives” vase. Gorgeous.
BTW, I am loving your site. You are very talented and I think you did a great job arranging the roses.
Ummm they are all AMAZING!!! I love those mini vases!! And what great prices! I was expecting it all to be expensive but was pleasantly surprised! If I don’t win, I’ll order some for myself!
I love the original designs found on her website! And I love that you can have them personalized for your family/friends/self! :) My most favorite is the vase with date but instead of using it for our wedding date, I would use it for my sons bday! (who just happens to be having a 1 year old bday coming soon!) 12-6-08
I too love flowers! Fun fun!
Oh my goodness, I love it all! And Wednesday is my birthday–perfect day to win! :)

Oh, your roses are beautiful. The potttery is amazing. Love the wedding present vase, and cookies for Santa, and platter, and…and…
Paula’s work is beautiful; thanks Amanda for showing me this talented artist.
“meep” is actually a word from neopets x) a cute little pink thing called a “meepit” says it.. and think it’s the only thing it knows how to say o.o
Your roses are beautiful and your vase is adorable. What a great idea buying more vases to use here and there. Roses are my favorite flowers. Becky
Super Duper Cute!!!!!!
