If you want to check out my lamp makeover that I thought about while getting ready for the party, head over here to check it out.
First, let me introduce you to my newest sponsor (and dear friend)– Lauren of Lauren Cochran Photography.
Lauren has been a photographer since 2006, before she graduated from Troy University in Alabama. After she and her husband spent several years in the Atlanta area, they’re back in Troy. Rick is a campus minister, and Lauren’s bringing her fabulous talent back to Alabama!
Check out her awesome work…..
Lauren describes her style as photojournalistic and loves to capture everyday moments in natural light.
She shoots seniors, families, children,
engagements and weddings, but she’s available for events as well. (I was pretty bummed when she was going to be out of town for Ava’s bday)
And, of course, I’m partial to these…
Be sure to check out “Proofing” on her website to see her most recent work…even some great ones of the boys in swim class this summer.
So, why all the fuss??
Well, first, Lauren’s super talented and one of my best friends.
Two….she’s offering a giveaway for my readers this week!
Get this….a FREE ONE HOUR SESSION with her in Troy, Alabama! Now, don’t be discouraged, you sweet out-of-towners, there’s something for you too!!
She’s offering you a ONE HOUR COURSE IN CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY AND EDITING!! Yay…sign me up!!
To enter, just leave a comment after you’ve visited Lauren’s site!
To gain an additional entry, let me know you’re a follower (or become one if you’d like), and for another, tell your folks about it (facebook, twitter, blog, etc.) Give yourself a separate comment for each entry! Closes Monday night at midnight.
Good luck. Now….
Let’s get this party started! I can’t wait to see your creativity and recognize the top 10 on Monday or Tuesday!! (I’d be specific, but let’s be honest, sometimes I’m not the best with that, so thanks for your understanding!)
Remember, the rules are simple. Home decor related projects only. Furniture makeovers, crafts for the home, a room reveal, before and after…you get the idea.
Link on up and have an AWESOME weekend! You’ll be hearing from me…
🙂
Yeah, I joined in on your Style Feature Saturday! I love your blog!
I'm a follower, too. 🙂
Hey Shaunna. I know I can't win the giveaway though I just wanted to leave a comment and say "YAY" for your party!!! I linked up a couple of projects (sorry they're both from last week but I don't have any new ones yet). I will definitely have some new ones for next time.
I looked at Lauren's site and I recognized a few of those faces in her gallery. 🙂
P.S. I am a follower and a member of the Shaunna fan club….in fact, I'm the president. 😉

Oh to take pictures like that!! I keep trying but have such a long way to go!!
What a lovely giveaway. Lauren takes such beautiful photographs! I would love to win the photo lesson giveaway. My father just sold me his digital SLR, hoods, lenses, and filters for a $100 (I know, that's stealing) & I'd love to learn how take and/or Photoshop pictures in the style of little Ava's, especially the second photo.
I facebooked your giveaway.
I tweeted it, too!
And, I've been a follower for a little while.
Love that beautiful baby on the Gallery, kiddos section! She's gorgeous! (Did you catch that I visited her site?!) Lauren's work is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
I'm a follower!
Recommended you to all my peeps on FB!
Hi Shaunna! I just found your blog and I love it! I linked up and I am a new follower!
I've been enjoying your blog for about a month now and you are truly inspirational! Lauren is a fabulous photographer. My daughter and son-in-law are Troy grads and I'd love a photo shoot for their two beautiful girls.
Hi Shauna! Thanks for hosting this party – I see some GREAT link up here!!
