it's party time!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Hello fellow bloggers and welcome! I'm excited to party with you!


My name is Vickie Erlandsen. I'm a work-at-home mom of 2 amazing kids, ages 6 and 16, and I'm the owner and designer of
dillyhearts - delightful gifts for little ones on the go. I taught myself how to sew and started this business on a whim 6 years ago. (Yes, crazy! What was I thinking?!) My goals were to be home for my kids, be in charge of my own schedule, indulge my creative streak, and help my hubby bring home the bacon. And the best part? I love it!




In celebration of the Ultimate Blog Party 2009, I'm donating a great prize! Wanna win an ultra-soft personalized minkee pillow for your toddler? Our handmade, custom, cozy best-seller was just added to the prize page on 5 minutes for mom.


Besides my love of fabric, color and design, here are a few random things about me:

* I love to read - I just finished the 4th Twilight book and enjoyed every second of my escape into that world.

* I'm a sucker for reality TV, (especially American Idol) and I've become a huge David Cook fan this past year.

* Every day after my daughter gets on the school bus, I grab my ipod and walk the hills in my neighborhood...usually 2-3 miles a day.

* My family just got back from Disneyland, where all 4 of us had a blast! Other than our son's baseball tournaments, this was our first real family vacation in about 7 years.





I haven't really done much with my blog. I really want to vamp up my social networking, so I joined twitter, (follow me!) and here I am ready to party and hoping to meet a lot of new blogging friends.



What better way to dive in than with The Ultimate Blog Party? I met Susan and Janice through 5 minutes for mom a couple years ago, when they reviewed one of my minkee cuddle blankets for little Julia. You can read their review here.





There are tons of cool prizes at the Ultimate Blog Party...but my personal top five faves are:
1. $100 gift card to Home Goods
2. $50 Target gift card from Shoot Me Now
3. mom & daughter flip flops from Top It Off
4. PR trainging from PR in your Pajama's
5. $25 Office Max gift card from Multi tasking Mama

I also like #21, #26, #118, and #USC60.

Thanks for stopping by! Please leave comments.

Hi! I love your cuddle blankets! My youngest has one with the satin and the fuzzy (not the same as yours though). I just snuck it in the wash today and when I got it out of the dryer she ran to meet it like a two lovers meet after years apart! LOL

That is great that you create such keepsakes!

Hope you enjoy the UBP!

I'd love to have you come visit my blog as well. It is a toddler learning/fun activity site. I also review children's products. I'm really enjoying UBP and hope you are too.

Beautiful pillow!!!

Hi there! Glad I found you on Twitter and I'll definitely add you to my RSS feed. You have some very lovely items in your store and I'm a bit jealous I don't have that kind of skill. I can sew a straight line (barely) which is all I really need for some of the simple quilting I do with my mom.

Stop on by when you get the chance!

Love your template! But I like your pillows even more!

Have a great Saturday!
