Lets see if you can steal this! After having her Obama sign stolen, an Austin, TX woman decided to take things to a new level. She used 12 cans of spray paint to permanently mark her front lawn with an Obama logo.
I’ve heard people complaining about their signs being stolen, but none have used this measure to replace it, lol. I believe people should have the right to express their candidate of choose at or in their home and not have to endure someone else’s disapproval or desire to possess their sign. I admire this lady for fighting back.
Shannon Bennett used the logo on her stolen Obama sign as a guide to the symbol painted on her lawn. How does her neighbor feel about the new lawn decoration, her neighbor who is a Republican admires her grit and thinks the symbol is pretty too.

Personalized Placemat Give Away
Is this party table fabulous or what? It’s set with placemats from a boutique named Lilybella. Lilybella is listed on my Top 100 Urbane Baby Boutique Sites and this table shows why.
I fell in love with the Choo Choo placemats at Lilybella and we’re sure our Bloggy Give Away visitors will too. My grandson was turning 1 and had just started eating finger foods. I thought how perfect to use when he’s visiting. He loves for Gran to put his finger foods on her coffee table. He likes to walk around and pick up a piece when he wants it. We chose the Choo Choo placemat, personalized with my grandson’s name, and we love it. It’s a quality product and easy to clean. I just tuck it in a drawer with my other placemats when he’s finished. This placemat is fabulicious! It gets 3 snaps, a booty shake and goes in Grandma’s bag for sure!
Lilybella has a variety of placemats and other gifts that are perfect for a birthday, baby shower or Christmas gift. The placemats just happen to be my favorite. Lilybella has the Pretty Princess Line, Perfect Kitty, Dino Tracks, and Fluttering Flower. They also have drink ware that would perfect with the placemats. I will be ordering the personalized Pretty Princess placemat for one of my niece’s Christmas gift. She’s 2.
Lilybella has offered a personalized placemat to one of our readers. Don’t you love it! You could be a winner, here’s how: Visit Lilybella and let us know which placemat you gave a booty shake. You could win it. We will select a winner from our posts, and Lilybella will send your favorite placemat directly to you.

This little number is fun and the fabric is funky. It definitely gets 3 snaps, a booty shake and goes in the Grandma bag.

Bloggy Give Away – Child ID Bracelet
Do you worry about losing your child when you’re shopping or at an amusement park? Most parents do and we giving our Bloggy Giveaway visitors a chance to win this Child ID Kit.
My grandson is walking now, and his safety has crossed my mind more than once during the last month. Most recently last week when my daughter was shopping for a birthday gift for a party they were attending. Instead of putting him in a shopping cart she decided to let him walk with her. Once inside the store, she found it difficult to shop and keep her eye on him. Duh!Sometimes mother has to let her learn things the hard way, but my grandchild’s safety is not where I want to teach her a lesson or allow her to learn on her own. I thought to myself, what if she was alone and he wondered off. I imagined a clerk on the intercom announcing that they had a baby boy who was wearing jeans, white Niki’s and a green polo shirt at the front desk. Let me tell you, that thought didn’t set well with Grandma.
I remembered a child safety kit that had been offered to Giggles & Sugar Kisses as a Give Away, and I decided this was the pefect time to list the kit on my blog. Kay Green, Owner of My Precious Child, offers several Child Safety kits that we thought you should know about. I really like the kit that includes 8 products: ID cards, Medical Release Cards, Shoe Stickers, Car Seat ID Card, Luggage Tag ID Cards, and more. This Child Safety Pack is the winner of the 2006 Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award. The only award program to be honored by Disney. Kay’s site states that 90% of missing pets have an ID, but only 2% of missing kids have IDs. What’s wrong with this picture?
Please join Kay and I in ensuring that your child is safe all year. Here’s how: visit My Precious Child and take a look at the Child Safety products. Return to our blog and leave us a comment on the safety kits. In return, My Precious Child will offer a Safety Kit to one of our readers.
Subscribe to our blog, and you may enter this Give Away twice. List this great Give Away on your blog with a link back to us and you may enter three times. Give Away is open to USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand residents 18+ and ends November 1, 2008 at mid-night. Winner will have 3 days to respond to the notification. Safety Kit will be shipped directly from My Precious Child.

Teen Beauty Queen Arrested
What a beautiful young lady. She’s Miss Teen Louisiana. It seems that Miss Louisiana has curves in all the right places, but a dent in her head. According to Fox News, Lindsey Evans and a few friends were arrested for leaving a restaurant without paying their bill. Lindsey forgot her purse, duh, and decided to return to the restaurant to retrieve it. She and her friends were arrested.
The bill was $46.07. Miss Louisiana was also booked for possession of marijuana that was found in her purse. This young lady is 18, so this could leave a permanent mark on her record.
After I read the story, I wondered what goes through our youth’s mind. At 18 you know that your actions are wrong. Why would you ruin your life for $46.07? My heart goes out to her parents most of all. From the photos on her web page, they have invested a great deal of love, energy, time, and money into this young lady so she could have a successful life. To have to retrieve her from jail had to be heart breaking.
This a case of beauty and no brains if I have ever seen one. Let me know your thoughts.
MJennings Designs Is Stamping!
MJennings Designs is stamping. That’s right Melissa Jennings has added a new product to her jewelry line. We checked it out, and it’s adorable. The above picture shows her son’s name. The design is simple, but each piece is unique. Melissa can stamp a name, date and or a phrase of your choice! The charms can be placed on a rubber or leather cord. I love the necklace. I’m picturing it with my grandson’s name. Nice Christmas gift for Gran, lol. She can also create earrings or bracelets. The price for this piece starts at $15.00 and up. You can check out Melissa’s new designs at MJenningsdesigns.com.
Keep creating this beautiful numbers Melissa! We love them.
Ambajam
Cupcake anyone? You can find this adorable shirt and other hip and cute onesies, trendy baby & toddler t-shirts and pants, baby blankets, quilts, and more at Ambajam. Ambajam invited Giggles & Sugar Kisses to review this cupcake shirt and their froggie pants. You must know they are both adorable.
We were able to test the quality of the shirt at my grandson’s first birthday party. Boy, did he put it to a test. We decided not to allow him to wear the froggie pants at the party. It was being held outside and we didn’t want him rolling or crawling in the grass while wearing them. This was a jean kind of day, lol. We also thought we had made a mistake by allowing him to wear the shirt at his party. Instead of sticking his fingers into the cake, he decided to dive into the cake (see photo below). The cake contained orange, brown and red icing. We thought the shirt was ruined. After the party, I instructed my daughter to soak it in cold water with a little Tide. It washed up beautifully.
The froggie pants are just as adorable and durable. The fabric is a stretch corduroy fabric in a yummy chocolate. They’re trimmed with a hip chocolate dot fabric and embroidered with a cute little froggie on the leg. The shirt and pants get 3 snaps, a booty shake and they go into grandma’s bag. We have our eye on the shirt with the little elephant for Christmas. You can’t go wrong with a purchase from Ambajam! We encourage you to check out their site for your next gift.
