a gorgeous giveaway with jack & tina fussell



inspired.
and inspiring. 
that's how i think of tina and jack fussell, and the amazing handmade life they've crafted for their family.

just a glimpse into their artistically-forward world on their popular and inspiring blog: traveling mama, and i was fast smitten with tales of this beautiful couple and their children traveling & adventuring abroad as a creative family. 

it's an inspiring pairing indeed: tina's love of handmade: { be sure to visit her gorgeous handmade paper goods shop, Handmade by traveling mama } & jack's love of photography { see his fabulous gallery-of-a-shop, flying house studios } 

and beyond my obvious appreciation for their talent, wit, and enthusiasm for creative family living, i am so tremendously inspired by jack & tina's excitement for life, for being active parts of their communities, wherever they live, and taking the paths less traveled in life and inspiring each of us to do the same.


{ oh ... and did i mention what a gosh-darn CUTE couple they are?! :) 


it's been a pleasure working with tina thru my *hire a cheerleader* consulting program, and i can fully attest to, and i just plain love, that what this wondercouple does is meaningful, thoughtful, genuine and personal: in life, work & play. i find their honest, open and helpful words & ways so refreshing.

inspired & inspiring indeed!
thanks for connecting to each of us in such beautiful, sincere ways, tina & jack. 
thanks for showing us the importance of real connections in our world.
i think we're all better folks for it.

so ... i hope you'll read on to see how YOU can win a shopping spree 
to their lovely lovely inspired shops!
