UPDATE: And we have a winner! Congratulations to Nicole! Her comment (number 108) was randomly drawn to win.
When Carrie Hartman contacted me about hosting a $20 giveaway for her etsy shop, one click on the UUPP shop page and I happily agreed, especially as I’ve been stalking etsy for months for art prints to decorate a blank wall above my couch, so I have art on my mind. When asked, my three-year old suggested I paint the wall rainbow, then add unicorn stickers. While I do appreciate the suggestion, and even paused at length to consider, I think something along the lines of these uplifting art prints may be a better fit, while still capturing the happy rainbow and unicorn mentality, yes? Check out the entire collection HERE at UUPP, “Unique Uplifting Positive Prints.” Visit the UUPP blog HERE and the facebook page HERE.
I’m loving the collection of Julia Child quotes:
about the shop
UUPP, is a delightful store full of high-quality, original home décor art prints. As the name implies, the designs are uplifting; created from the heart of a mom of 3, a wife and a designer, who decided to channel her creativity into positive messages and quotes while struggling to deal with some of life’s bumpy roads. UUPP, (Unique Uplifting Positive Prints), is full of work about some of life’s simple joys; from family and friends, to faith and love, her passion for cooking and baking ( she is a serious Julia Child fan) and her endless devotion to Mr. Darcy (she is also a crazy Jane Austen fan). Carrie has been thrilled to be able to help spread some love and happiness through her work.
look, a coupon!
And if you just can’t wait for the results of the giveaway (see below for more details), Carrie is giving all of you 15 % discount at the store! Enter the coupon code ILOVECOOKIES.

I Love You More Than Coffee!!!!!!!
I enjoy the first one, "Make the world a better place one cupcake at a time."
I like the Take Time to Do Things that Make Your Heart Smile….so often we get caught up with "all the stuff" in life.
I love the "do small things with great love" one. It's really been my mantra these days

Make the world a better place, one cupcake at a time!! AWESOME!!!
I love the "I Love you more than coffee" sign. My husband switched my caffeinated coffee to decaf when we were newly married. It was almost the end of the marriage
. After we made up, this was exactly what I said to him. He has never tried switching my coffee again. The devil comes out of me.
Iam in love with the one that says 'Do Small Things With Great Love'

Do I have to choose just one? D: I lovelovelove the Sweet Birdcage print, the Have Your Cupcake and Eat it Too print, the Mr. Darcy quote print (my favorite Austen novel), and basically every single one there is to love. Her typography is adorable!

I've liked Carrie Hartman on facebook.
I like the "believe you can and you will" print, reminds me of something my mom would say (in a good way)
It's hard to pick just one favorite but I think it's the have your cupcake and eat it too.
Whip it good is my favorite!
And I hearted the etsy shop!
So many great prints, I would have to go for "love you more than coffee" although my family might not always believe it.
I'm totally in love with all of the Julia Child prints, but my favorite one is the one about fat.
