Clickin Moms Review & Giveaway


Clickin Moms is a community of women who have a passion for photography. Some are amateur photographers who just want to take better pictures of their family, some are hobbyists, and some are seasoned pros.



Clickin Moms is the perfect place to ask for advice on just about anything. How to's, touch ups, posing, entering photo contests, advice on new equipment and even talking business. You can ask just about anything on photography here. 

I was excited to find an email from Clickin Moms inviting me to join their fun network of photographing mommy's. I received a FREE one year membership. And you can too!

A place for women with a passion for photography!

One of the best things is your photos that you share here are private. All the forums and galleries are reserved for members only. So no worries about just anyone seeing your work. Speaking of photo forums.... with over 8,000 members, you are sure to find someone to connect with and get answers about photography.


Clickin Moms hosts great tutorials, lessons, challenges, vendor discounts, and fun photo contests with PRIZES. I love any type of tutorials on photography. Especially the ones with photos. LOL I am a gotta see it girl. And I consider myself an amateur when it comes to taking photos. So I have found this site to be extremely helpful. Who wouldn't love the prizes too. Just entering and getting feedback on your photo is a prize to me! I definitely recommend you getting a membership and joining in the fun over at Clickin Moms today! I think you should share it with all your photography loving momma friends too!


Here's a lovely thing I found out. Clickin Moms offers....
Pay back to members who contribute. They offer substantial affiliate commissions and cash/prize rewards for members who contribute and participate. In fact, more than half of the profits go right back to the Clickin Mom members. Isn't that fabulous! You have to join just for that reason alone! ;-)


Thank you Clickin Moms for inviting me to join your very cool community. I look forward to more days of browsing your site and forums.

    IKR Designs Review & Giveaway....CLOSED


    I am very excited to share with you this great designer. Jill from IKR Designs has a great Etsy shop with flameless candles, adorable coasters, jewelry and more!

    I received a great flameless candle and a set of chandelier coasters from IKR Designs for review. 


    The candle I got was just in time for FALL. It has the most adorable pumpkin on it. It takes just two double AA batteries and you are ready for that beautiful, flickering glow. What I loved about them is you could set them to either on or timer. Yep, if you forget to shut them off, they will turn off on their own. There is also an off setting. Another great thing about the candles is they have a light scent. Nothing too over whelming. The best part about these flameless candles is they won't affect your loved ones who have allergies. My husband and my dad both have problems with flame and heavy scented candles. Now I can enjoy the relaxing light from my flameless candles. Thanks to IKR Designs beautiful prints, I can enjoy them with images of my choice. 


    Jill offers many different options of designs for her candles. I was so excited about one in particular. The personalized candles. These are great for gift giving and for personalizing your home. I just had to buy one. So right away I emailed her a pic and asked if I could get it done. It was a family photo from last year.  But I had added something very special to it. My hubby had a poem written for me for my birthday, so in photoshop, I added it to the family photo. I was very happy to find out that the picture I wanted to use would work.  And with my review items, was my personalized photo candle too! It is so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye. I look forward to enjoying it for years. You just have to order some of these for Christmas this year.


    The Chandelier Coasters that I got were perfect in every way! They came in a set of 4. Each coaster is 4 x 4 tiles with cork backing to keep your coaster in place. Just like the candles, you can get different images on them. I fell in love with the chandeliers. They fit my living room perfectly. But I also loved many of the other designs. You just have to go see them all. My kids loved them too. They thought they were puzzles. Because the Chandelier image is on all fours tiles and when putting them altogether, they make the finished chandelier. Very cute!








    Some more great products that IKR Designs offers....


    Domino Necklaces 
    and
    Stubby Glass Jar with personalizing options
