Thanks to Chrishawna for sharing this sweet treat with even sweeter results! Throughout September, Cold Stone Creamery is selling wall stars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and to top it off (on Thursday, September 25th, 5pm-8pm), they’re hosting the 7th Annual World’s Largest Ice Cream Social, and all guests will be given a free 3-oz. serving of ice cream flavors inspired by two children: Jack and Emily…very special members of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

This is a great time to take the kids out for ice cream and contribute to an amazing organization for children. While free ice cream will be given to all customers, this is not just a fun and free marketing campaign to promote a national creamery chain…there’s a very powerful reason behind this promotion.
Sometimes, I stumble across things on the web, and realize that I’ve been living under a rock my entire life. When I saw Camille’s $25 Fruitful Vine Creations giveaway on There is a Season…, I had an immediate “AHA! So THAT’S how they do that!” moment.

I don’t generally post other blog giveaways since there are so many sites that already do that (though maybe I should?), but on the off-chance that I’m not the only rock-dweller around here, I thought I’d share this with you! Fruitful Vine Creations creates customized word art for pictures, plaques, and even WALLS – known as wall lettering. The company takes the words you want displayed, and somehow transforms them into a thin matte vinyl, which can be applied to a wall without ruining the paint OR looking like a sticker. Very neat!
Lots of goodies today! Thanks to all of you for sharing your great finds!
