We Are Growing Thanks To You!

From My Front Porch is growing by leaps and bounds and I am so very thankful for that! Along with growth comes exciting changes like the blog makeover, more giveaways, some product reviews, and the addition of new blog Sponsors! I am happy to announce that From My Front Porch To Yours has FOUR new sponsors!

Folky Art Candles y'all already know from the gracious giveaway April helped me host. It went well so she decided to become a Sponsor.

 I personally have some of her goodies and they are so yummy smelling! The perfect gift for those upcoming Holiday Parties.

I am so excited to introduce y'all to Jennifer from The Magic Brush! I have been following Jennifer's blog for years now and was excited when she said she wanted to become  a sponsor.

Jennifer is a faux finisher and everything she touches turns into something beautiful! She works out of Kansas City, Missouri and always has wonderful projects to share from faux painting in large expansive homes to road side trash transformations. In the very near future Jennifer will also have her own line of Instructional Videos so we all can learn her tricks of the trade! You can Follow Along With Jenn and see what she is up to over at The Magic Brush Facebook Page. 

Eddie & Eva makes handmade natural soaps.

Their soaps are made with skin loving ingredients like natural butters, oils, goats milk, and coconut milk. I just love the little bag they come in! Their soaps would make great stocking stuffers!;) From now until Oct. 28, 2013 you can get 15% off your order using discount code MyFrontPorch!

The Farmhouse Porch you all may know from their blog. Linsey is a wonderful gal that has a passion for anything vintage with farmhouse charm. 

She offers up some of her finds in her Etsy shop along with her custom paintings!

Thank you ladies for becoming Sponsors of From My Front Porch To Yours!

If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor you can find out more information at the top of my page under Advertise. 

Now off to clean up this ol' kitchen for some picture taking!

Change Is Good

So do you notice anything different around here!?;)

I have been doing a little sprucing up. I decided that it was time for a blog makeover and I am so glad I did! Karen from Valentine Designs did a fabulous job creating my new header, sidebar tags, adding social media tags, and making my new blog button!! You may already know Karen from her blog My Desert Cottage. I highly recommend her!Other than wanting the blog to have some pizazz I also wanted to make it more functional for my visitors. As mentioned you can now find my Social Media Tabs in the upper right hand corner of the blog. All you have to do is click on them and they take you to my other pages like FaceBook and HomeTalk.

 I also had Karen add a hovering Pin It button to all the pictures on my blog because I know we are all addicted to Pinterest! So if you see a pic you want to Pin just put your mouse over that pic and click on the P. It is that simple now!:)

I hope that you like all the new changes as much as I do. I will be working on adding a Home Tour tab up at the top so stay tuned and Karen will be updating a few other buttons for me like "How I Found My Style Sundays".

 Before I go I wanted to let you know to hop on over to this gals blog!

This is Kris from Junk Chic Cottage and she asked me to be a part of her Saturday series "Life Behind The Blogger". Thank you Kris for having me over today!

Also believe it or not the runner up for the Folky Art Candles did not claim their prize so that means I have chosen yet another winner. Congrats to Vicki Baggett Malick! Vicki I am sending you an email PLEASE claim your prize. Pretty Please!:) You have till the end of Monday.

I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend and see ya back here tomorrow for "How I Found My Style Sundays"!

Computer Trouble & A Winner

This is me right now! Our less than 2 year old Mac has up and died. Seems the hard drive crashed. The Hubster has tried everything to revive it but it is a loss. Hopefully this weekend we can go out and purchase an external hard drive to run off until we can save enough to buy a new computer. I am not able to get any of my blog stuff to include all of my pictures I had downloaded for upcoming posts. For now I am on our 8 year old Mac which is a dinosaur compared to what I am use but it will do. It just takes me awhile to accomplish anything on here.

 On a happier note I have the winner of the Folky Art Candles Giveaway!

Congrats Karen Gregory Farris!

Y'all blew me away with all your entries and I thank you for that.

Thank you April for offering up your candles they are truly amazing! Head on over to April's Etsy Shop Folky Art Candles if you have not already. It is time to start putting a dent in the holiday shopping list!:)

Hope everybody has a great weekend and see ya back here tomorrow for "How I Found My Style Sundays".

Welcoming Fall & A Folky Art Candle Giveaway

Yesterday was the first day of Fall. Anybody else as excited as I am about the lower temps and cool breezes? It is quite a welcoming change here in Texas that is for sure. With Fall upon us I decided to get cracking on bringing Fall into our home and the first place I started was our living room.

Our living room recently got a makeover so that called for a different route on the Fall decor this year. Simplicity called out to me unlike years past. You can click here and here to see some of my previous fall mantles.

My first attempt at free handing a chalk board and boy let me tell ya it took many tries. I know it still looks a little wonky but eventually I will get the hang of straight lines!;)

We just  love our little hooty owl.

The Hubster thought that I had lost my mind when he saw me adding book pages to the t.v. armoire. I had to tell him not to worry. They are not permanent.

Certainly a change from previous years but I am really liking it. Next up will be the dining room.

So are y'all ready to welcome Fall with a giveaway!?

I was recently introduced to Folky Art Candles when Anita over at Far Above Rubies was talking about them on her FaceBook page. I was intrigued because I am a candle lover. Let me tell ya when I got my hands on them I was in heaven. The scents I got are beyond yummy! I have Sweet Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Berry Compote and Patisserie. 

I was chatting with April telling her how much I loved her candles/tarts and she offered up TWO 16 oz jar candles to the winner! The Winner gets to choose two scents from the 32 scents she carries plus you get to pick from the adorable Fall labels she has. This giveaway I am afraid is open to readers ONLY here in the continental Unites States. Shipping out of the country is just too costly for the candles. 

Thanx for stopping by today!
