Valentine’s Day Giveaway: Sweets + a $200 gift card to Sam’s Furniture!

Sierra's cupcake in a jar, lemon

Remember those beautiful chocolate-covered strawberries our friend Sierra of Dojo’s Designs gave away on Motherlode for Valentine’s Day and then made for Mom Prom a few years back? Well, she’s always coming up with the sweetest ideas and her newest creation is a cupcake in a Mason jar!

Yes, you open the Mason jar and enjoy. And they’re just beautiful.

Sam's FurnitureToday, Sierra is giving away a 6-pack of her “Cupcakes In a Jar” and the winner will also receive a $200 gift card to use at Sam’s Furniture. Sierra’s husband works there and Sam’s wanted to make this giveaway extra sweet!

ABOUT DOJO’S DESIGNS: Sierra’s been busy with other creations since we had that first giveaway with her so many years ago. She now has five kiddos! We asked her to share a little about her creative journey:

“We now have 5 kiddos, ages 6,5,4,2, and 1! (I think last time we did the giveaway we only had 2 kiddos! Time flies when you’re having kids! ) I’m still a stay at home Mom-trepenuer, just trying to make my mark in this world! I thoroughly enjoy blogging (dojosdesigns.blogspot.com), cooking, and chasing my five kiddos! My husband is a salesman at Sam’s Furniture, and we’ve been married for 8 years!

dojo's designsI get told all the time (mainly at Walmart, when I’m by myself, with all 5 kiddos) that I’ve “Got my hands full”, to which I lovingly respond “Yep! Full of blessings!” I suppose every Mom is trying to figure out who SHE is. Not just who she is as a Mom or wife, but rather, what excites her! I’ve searched for a long time to figure out my “mission”, as a wife and mom. I suppose if I could sum it up simply, my mission is to empower any woman, of any age, with or without kids that in each moment of our life, when we’re presented with a challenge, we CAN choose Joy. Finding little slivers of joy can change the trajectory of our future for our kids, our marriage, and most importantly, us.

It’s been my mission to Choose Joy, Speak Life, and Keep Marching. This Mom thing is far from easy. However, I’ve never been more refined, and had a better grip on who I am, than when I became a Mom. So Keep Mom-ing on! We leaving a legacy for our future generations to follow!”

Aren’t they all adorable:

Sierra and her family
