****
Alright folks here it is!! The finale you've all been waiting for!... First can I just tell you I feel like Oprah? Is this what it feels to be rich and generous?--I guess I wouldn't know about the rich part, and really, it's the sponsors who are being generous! So a big THANK YOU to all of them!

FYI #1 - A LIVE giveaway means you have to be the certain comment # to win. The winning comment numbers are in RED below each prize! The rules on how to comment are at the bottom of this post!

FYI #2, all of these giveaways aren't just for moms or moms-to-be! So Future Mama's without kids and unpreggo ladies... Enter away! I purposely found things that would be helpful and fun for women in ALL stages of life!

So many people told me the LIVE giveaway was so fun yesterday I just knew I had to do one more to finish this off! It's ok if it takes longer to get all the winners... I was planning on the last one lasting about a week but that didn't happen, so I'm going to add more prizes to this one and make the numbers more spread out! Don't forget to read the rules at the bottom to know how to play!

To start it all off...
27. ...Who could get this party started better than ElleBows and More!? Are you in love with butterflies? I know I am! And what little girl doesn't love them? (Ok, actually I think I have a friend who is terrified, but she's weird). This ElleBows™ variety pack includes four 30 mm snap clips lined in bright swiss dot ribbons and adorned with funky crochet butterflies. Oh, so sweet! All clips are made from quality ribbon and ends are heat sealed in order to prevent fraying. Every item is handmade in Lisa's clean, smoke free studio. All ElleBows™ come attached to an adorable display card. Let me know what else you like from her cute shop!

Reading any good books? This next prize will help!
28. You've noticed the books on my bookshelf right? Yep, I'm reading two GREAT books right now to plan for pregnancy... The thing I DON'T have is a good bookmark to hold my spot. Well, so you don't run into that problem, Suzie from Suzie's Armoire has offered a beautifully unique bookmark for you! There are SO many cute ones to choose from! Butterflies, dolphins, cats, dinosaurs, frogs... The list goes on! It was hard for me to chose one to picture here but I have a thing for frogs so that's what you see! There's also a lot of vibrant colors to pick between, so let me know your favorite! Winner gets their choice! These bookmarks are designed with ~11" of seed beads in the middle to fit inside most book sizes!

Write love letters much?...
29. This is quite a step up from back in the say when you wrote "do you like me, (picture of a "circle") YES or NO"... But you're not required to use this stationary just for love letters, although it's so pretty, that's what I'd use them for. Wendy's Whimsical Designs is giving away one of these BEAUTIFUL monogrammed personalized stationary sets! They're made with Martha Stewart monogram stamps and Stampin up paper and cardstock. Her shop has SO much cute stuff I couldn't stop looking around!... Oh how I wish I was this crafty! But you--You can pretend to be with these! This comes in a set of 4 with envelopes and your choice in color and the letter. It also makes a great gift for teachers (although I'm not gonna lie, Id' keep it for myself!) Check out her site and let me know what color and letter you'd get!

Don't you just love stuffed animals? I know I do...
30. Jane at Janiexy hand makes adorable toys and I just LOVE her plushy animals! Featured here is Wilbur. Wilbur, the gray whale, often gets under estimated for his speed and outgoingness because of this size. You'll often find him challenging smaller fish to races, making fun of dolphins, and eating some In 'N Out - planktin style.

31. Choose your fortune with AJ Sweet Soap! I know these look good enough to eat, and I'm sure they also smell that way too! But it's actually one of the most creative bath accessories I've seen! Denise's fortune cookie soaps are adorable - and you will love that you can customize these any way you choose! Not only choose the fragrance for the cookies (Almond Biscotti is delicious with these!) but choose the colors as well!

Hey girl what's yo sign?
32. I use to REALLY want my kid(s) to be a Capricorn, but now I don't care as much... Just get me a healthy baby!!... But, I must say, I'm still very proud to be a Capricorn myself!--So when I saw this light switch cover I about died! Krystal from Rathina Decore Switch Plates has something for every room of the house! Not into signs yourself? That's ok! She has different styles, colors, and personalities from cats, bears, dogs, cupcakes and turtles, to flowers and fruit! Each switch plate is handmade by myself, using a decoupage technique with fabric. I take great care and pride in my work so that each switch plate is perfect. Single plates measure 2 3/4" by 4 1/2". Double switchplates measure 4 1/2" by 4 1/2". Screws are included. To install, simply unscrew old plate, and screw in new plate. Check out her site and let me know which one you'd want! Winner gets their choice!

Moving right along to something I treasure...

33. Dark Wolf Trading Co. creates the most beautiful handmade pieces of art. I found @darkwolftrading through Twitter and fell in love. One thing I really love is their leather bound journals and books. If you're a sketcher, or a big writer like I am--Or a big blogger like I've become you'll probably appreciate this like I do. I LOVE to jot down my thoughts when I'm on the go. Sure, I have a voice recorder, and an iPhone where I can electronically jot down my thoughts, but there's something beautiful about printing it in my own hand writing, and being able to flip through it later. Having a special place for those thoughts, or dreams, or whatever you choose, is important in my book.
This is a handmade leather bound journal featuring a wraparound thong. The leather used is suede deerskin. The journal is made up of four sets of 12 pages each for a total of 48 usable pages. The pages measure 5.5" x 8.5" and, when closed, the journal measures about 6" x 10". Paper used is plain white paper.
--Lucky commenter #491 wins this lovely prize! Be sure to read the rules at the bottom to know how to play!

I about flipped out when I found out about this next sponsor too!
34. It all started when I saw @ModMomME on Twitter. Kristen from Mod MomMe has SO many adorable things for a mod mom, but the best thing about it is there's lots of stuff for future mama's too! Like this Diaper bag Keychain for example! These adorable bags are Kristen's own creation and are exclusively at mod momME. As a mother of 2 little ones still in diapers, she says this bag is a must have accessory. She's run into problems before at the doctor's office--Not being able to throw away diapers there! She's been required to place the dirty diaper in a bag and take it home to dispose of it. This means you will have to depend on the doctor's office to supply you with a plastic bag or you will have to come prepared with them yourself. Dispose a Diaper Bag © key chains are very practical, convenient, and stylish too.
BUT what do I see when I see this? I poop bag for Snoop! When I'm walking him I'm always trying to figure out where to put the plastic bags I pick up his poop with... These cute things hold about 15 small plastic trash bags and they're easy to hook on a dog leash too!
So there you have it... Good for dog parents and human parents too!
She has TONS of colors to choose from and is open to your own idea for fabric too! Check out her site and let me know which one you'd want! The winner gets their choice! Check out her cute blog too!
--Commenter #543 wins! But remember to check out the rules below to know how to play! (If we fly past the winner in this contest too, there's another chance to win one of these here).


You know the saying.. "If mommy ain't happy..."
35. The same concept rings true to this sign which caught my eye. This is by Rebekah from Little Love Letters. Who makes all of these cute signs herself. What mom doesn't deserve this sign? It measures 8x8 and is hung with several lines of hemp cord. It's painted black with beige vinyl lettering and sanded on the edges for a distressed look. A matte finish is applied to the board after paint and lettering is applied, to ensure longevity.
Not a mom yet? Don't worry! I've got something up my sleeve for you... This adorable family sign! 10x10 sign featuring the "definition" of family. I came up with these definitions with a little help from friends, family and my little girl. I really think they are universal! This sign can be custom-painted to match your decor! The sample is hung with matching ribbon, although I can also hang it with raffia or a saw tooth hanger - your choice. The winner can pick which one they want, or if they want just the vinyl "family" saying for the wall, that works too!
So check out her site and see what else you like and let me know!

Another one of my favorites...
36. You know how I love purses! So when Liz from Peanut Babies and LovingMom2Boys told me that she makes tote bags I got all excited again! Yea... I know you ladies like these things too! And I especially love things that work for Future Mama's too... Which this does! Diaper bag... Sure... But it also looks like a beach bag, and cute purse too! This is a fun and functional medium tote bag. Made with only light interfacing this is the perfect bag for just about anywhere.
Constructed of 100%, using fabric from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain collection. The bag measures 15" wide, 10 1/2" tall, and 4" deep, with 25" handles (11" drop). Includes a large interior pocket. The super soft construction of this bag makes it perfect not only for every day use, but is great for the traveler as well. Folded up it is perfect for packing in a suitcase without using a lot of precious space.
The cool thing is she says she'll custom make it for you! The winner will be able to select from a variety of fabrics, and the bag will be made to order. Sweet, no?! So check out her site and let me know what you like!

And last but not least, I had to bring it home for the cute babies.
37. Want to have something cute for your baby while also helping the environment? Organic Beginnings may be just what you're looking for!

The fabrics she uses are made from resources grown and/or produced without the use of man-made pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers--Only natural fertilizers and pest control measures are used.

2 onesies- 1 regular and 1kimono styles
1 pair of pants
1 hat

1 bamboo t shirt

Rules:
Last time I had a LIVE giveaway it ended in two HOURS. I wouldn't mind this one going a little longer so I'm going to make rules a little different... And if it takes a week to get all the winners that's fine because the rest of these are running a week too!

3. Now just leave comments, all you want to get to the prize of your choice, but each comment has to be a complete sentence, and since I'm on vacation and don't have time to moderate and publish comments you can only post 5 comments in a row...
