Awesome Sponsors: June Spotlight

Hello hello beauties! It's that time this month to share the lovely ladies on my sidebar. You know, that thing on the right that's bombarded with crazy amount of buttons and links. Among them are some seriously talented women who I've grown to adore so much. Also to envy a little bit. Each one is talented in an area that I am not, which is more of a reason to share them with the world.

Meet the beautiful Jessica from the adorable online shop Grasshopper Lane Boutique. She sews like nobody's business. Her handmade clothes are just so cute and she's currently running a sale on everything patriotic! Custom orders are welcome, so head on over here to check out her shop and don't forget to use coupon code HelloAwesome10 to receive 10% off any items. You can also connect with Jessica on Instagram and Facebook.

Danielle is the sweet soul behind the uplifting as inspiring blog Danielle Faith. Through obstacles and storm, she has remained brave. I just love her enthusiasm and spirit. You will too. Not only does she share some pretty sweet blogging tips but Danielle also shares some ideas on real life, like how to save money for summer vacations. Follow Danielle on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Can I gush for a minute how much I love Aleisha from Britches & Boots? I absolutely love her funny, real-life family stories and how her faith shines through everything she does. Not only does she blog but she also runs a sweet little shop called Bliss Baby Designs. Be sure to follow her on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.

A funny thing about this online world is how you can connect with people you've never met but you know if you ever did, you'd be super BFF's instantly. That's how I feel about Aleks. If we lived next door to one another, our husbands would never see us. We'd probably be blasting Christian music while crafting all night! I had the pleasure of designing the logo for her blog A Slocum Story. Aleks loves to share inspirational stories and has an amazing guest post series about how people have overcome hardships and trials. She also creates adorable little softies and cowls! Find them right here. Be sure to connect with Aleks on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

I seriously have a soft spot in my heart for each of these amazing women. Do you have a blog or shop that you'd love to advertise? I would love to help you out. Sponsorships are open and stats are in. Use code AWESOME15 for 15% off any ad spot! I can't wait to get to know you!
If you have any questions, shoot me an email at helloawesomeshop@gmail.com and check out the Sponsor page for our disclaimer.

Agape Love Designs {Ad Space & Gift Card Giveaway}

It's hard to believe that I've been in this blogging thing for a few years now. I still consider myself a newbie and sometimes wonder what in the world am I doing! I know, you wonder that about me too. It's okay, don't hide it. I know it's true.

One of the first online friends I made was about two years ago and her name is Maria. You may have heard of her. She runs this cute lil' blog called Agape Love Designs. Actually, I lied. It's not little or lil'. Maria is a wealth of information, knowledge, crafty-cool and overall a source of all things beautiful, inside and out. With her blog being a Christian based Lifestyle type, her posts have huge range, mostly on faith, fashion, fitness and beauty. Maria is also amazing in the DIY department and is just as creative behind the camera lense.

I loved her 8 ways to increase traffic and sales to your online shop posts! I really did learn from them. I also thought her Easter printable was so cute. She shares everything via social media, so make sure you show her some Facebook love, Twitter love and Instagram love, homies.

If it sounds like I'm bragging, I am. Duh, what more can a girl ask for?
Well...how about some free ad space and some spending money, hm??

My girl has done it again! {She does that a lot with her sweetness. Yes, I am schmoozing. I do love to schmooze her, it's so easy hehe.}

Words to Remember....

So, here we are. Just a few days left, and my Facebook/Twitter & this Blog will be done. Closed. All gone.

I am sure in the future I will be back. But I have to say, I am excited about this new journey! I mean I just look back at the last couple of years and all the things I've learned. God is truly remarkable and I have no doubt that this avenue I'm about to walk on will lead to even greater knowledge!

This more than likely will be my last post. I will be working more on my upcoming books (anyone love a good Christian love story? what about some advice from an accomplished author?) and on my online art shop {do you see that awesome painting above?? It's my latest, "Say Cheese." You can pre-order your print here and get 20% off!}

I will still be advertising on awesome blogs and will still have my Google account to follow my favs. Blogging will always be a part of me, it's just I really don't have time to keep up with my own one...

So before I say goodbye, I wanted you to please take a minute to sign up for my art + ministry newsletter! It won't be spammy, promise, just about one email a month to update you on what is new in my shop and any news I need to share. You can unsubscribe at any time but this will help us stay connected and you in the loop with my business. There will also be special discounts and giveaways just for newsletter subscribers, so what do you have to lose?! Take a minute to sign up below.

You guys have been amazing, to say the least. I adore each one of you and appreciate your dedication to this blog. You are all more like friends and I know this isn't a final goodbye...more like a "see ya next time!"

So, smile for the camera and say cheese...because you look lovely today :) 

May the Lord bless you and your family in 2013!

I will leave you with some words I'd like you to remember in this new year:

God is always Sovereign, no matter what you or I think.
Follow Him and you will never be confused!
Obey the Word, it is the final say.
Love each other more than life itself. 
Surround yourself with positive people; and pray for the negative ones.
Look up, not down; aim high, not low.
In all things, honor your Father which watches all you say & do.
Be a blessing and be blessed.
Be pure in heart and you shall see the Lord.
Smile often. It scares people.
Laugh at the little things, it will make you wiser.
When you feel alone, remember Christ was alone on the cross to bear your sorrow!
His blood covers ALL sin; not just the ones you want to give up.
Have faith by having a relationship.
BE A LIGHT ON A HILL!! 
Spend more time with family than with social media.
Give your home more love than strangers. You will be held accountable.
Watch your words, they cut deeper than the sharpest swords.
Be humble like a child; let them be your teacher and you the student.
Grow from mistakes, but not grow bitter.
Forgive early, find peace early.
and finally...
BLOG WHAT YOU LOVE NOT WHAT YOU THINK OTHERS WILL LOVE!!

XOXO

Be an August Sponsor!

"You mean to tell me, that you have no sponsors momma?"

Yes son. That is the truth.

So let's change that my friends, shall we?!

I admit, this is my first sponsor attempt so I'm a bit nervous but also super duper excited because I want to get connected and promote some amazing people/shops/blogs!

Currently, my blog has ads on Our Reflection, The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife, Naptime Review and Agape Love Designs, all of which have over 1,000 followers (and counting.) As of this post, Art By Jacy has 171 followers. The number is growing daily, thanks to many blog hops & linky parties, which I participate in weekly.

Here are some stats, if that's your thing:

Blog posts - 4-5 a week; my goal is to up it to 5-7 :) 

Page views last month - 2,820+

Page views of all time - 18,560+

Twitter Followers - 280+

Facebook Fans - 290+
 Pinterest - 150+

I also do many blog giveaways & guest posts.
Art by Jacy is growing daily and though it may be a tiny piece of the blog world real estate compared to some other mansion sites, I promise to do my best to promote you & help build you up too!
My motto has and will always be "people helping people."

So...what do you say?

Again, I'm still getting the hang of this new adventure.
