Jonah H. Both Grand and runner up prizes. I would like the photo session from small begnnings for my friend she just had her 2nd baby earily. The reason i want to give it to her is because valintine day is to show that u care about someone. She has always been there for me and has been overly kind. I would love to give her a great gift to show how much i appecate the things she has did for me. If i win the runner up i would like the hand made maryJane style crochet booties and matching headband, from mimi's babies

Went to the sites. Like this format with the links. Everybody has great stuff. Most are easy to get to, others need to be a little more user friendly.

Love Funky Baby Hats! And Sarah's pillow cases!

Sabrina S. ~ Ooops, last(all) comment(s) should have also said "Both prizes."

Visited the links. And I agree with Jeannine, I like how the links are layed out to go visit, but some aren't as user friendly as others.

I think the Lasagna on ya is an awesome idea! Especially for new parents!

I love them all, but I am going to say a 20-minute mini session with Small Beginnings Photography because I can never have too many photos of my boys.

Oh my goodness, how do I choose just one?! Besides your 20 minute mini shoot, I would have to say the thing that tickles my fancy the most at this moment (because I HAD to pick just one) would be the Starbucks gift card. I'm one tired momma after a long weekend with a sick little one and a nice cup of joe is much needed this morning! ;) All the other items are great too! What a wonderful giveaway Court!(Tatum W. - eligible for both)

I love the earrings by Greysmama, and I would never pass up a chance for the mini photo session! I visited some of the sites and as far as whatI am looking for, I loved Chrystal's corner and her blog about Daily deals... (I am also in love with all of the girly stuff in this giveaway, but my husband was quick to remind me as I was looking at some of the sites, that we only have boys!)

I want to enter for the grand prize. I am super excited about the hand made cards! It seems like I never have enough cards for all the sentiments I want to give out. I'm also stoked about the lipgloss for when "my lips hurt real bad"--Napolean Dynamite.

I've looked at all the sites. I'm currently stuck on the Funk Baby Hats site. I think my favorite goes to Mimi's Babies though mostly for the Woody's crochet cowboy hat. I'm smitten for it :)
