Amelia and a Freshly Picked Moccasin Giveaway

Amelia turns two in a couple weeks and I can't believe she's so grown up.  This little girl has grown up to be a brave, sweet, funny, silly, friendly, and vivacious little girl.  Sometimes I can't stop just staring at her where I get to enjoy her little expressions, the mumble jumble of words she says, and how she interacts with the things around her.     

For the longest time I've really wanted a pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins.  It's one of those things you wish your Mom, a friend, or your rich Aunt would buy you a pair for a birthday or Christmas gift.  Well, I waited and waited and never got a pair.  I know, I should of have saved my money and bought a pair, but sometimes buying food and paying the bills comes first, you know?  

Well, I'm happy to say I finally got a pair.  Thanks to Freshly Picked, of course!  When I got these in the mail, it was an experience.  The cute little muslin bag, the scent of fresh leather, and loved how soft they are to the touch.  Because I loved them so much, I had a hard time having her wear them because I didn't want her to get them dirty or scuffed!

I realize that they're shoes and they're made to be worn.  So I thought it be fun to do a mini photo shoot of Amelia in her cute Neon Pink Moccs.

They have a built in program in their website where you select your photos, select your canvas size, and you can move, edit, add text and graphics to totally customized your wrapped canvas.
