Cant believe I have missed out on so much blogging, especially the free shipping!!! ugh!
Love all the new pics, esp the art fair stuff…
holy cuteness is right! I guess its a good thing y’all are so far away from me…I could see I’d be in some serious financial trouble. Hope some will make it to MJP!

Drumroll please…
Ava was so sweet. Her mom made the mistake of telling her we had a “splash pad” if you know what that is. Me, I call it holes in the cement that squirt water. Well, she has been dying to come over. I should’ve had my camera when she jumped out of the car in...

any chance that you will be posting the winner and runner ups on the http://www.matildajaneclothing.com website? all of my friends are checking it to find out if we won! just a suggestion.
jenn - June 1, 2010 - 5:43 pm
Congrats to all~ I am more excited to see the picture of Ava..in her HOCKEY gear`! We are a hockey family and it is my dream for my daughter to play ice hockey..lol So sad I am not goning to be coming to 435 for the art fair and meet the boys and Ava.. 
Sundee - June 1, 2010 - 1:30 pm
Congratulations to the winner! Your video was so sweet and touching. Definitely worthy of the win.
Ashlee - June 1, 2010 - 12:54 pm
P.S. I THOUGHT ALL THE TOP 14 DID AN EXELLENT JOB!! CONGRATS TO YOU ALL!!!
Tonya - June 1, 2010 - 11:43 am
Thank you Denise and everyone at MJC for this experience. Congratulations Jami! Your video was beautiful and your little girls are adorable!!
Janella - June 1, 2010 - 10:03 am
I really like the idea about using the song “Beautiful” on your site, let’s face it that song was truely a huge hit with all us MJ fans!! Jami, I’m so happy for you I really enjoyed what you did, you truely captured a day in the life of a MJ girl!! Your photos were so sweet especially the 2 girls sharing in some fun together. Have fun on your trip! Denise, I love that turquoise rug and trunk you have sitting on your back patio!! Very stylish!!
~love - June 1, 2010 - 9:57 am
congratulations to all the finalists! i really did love the winner’s a lot!
Day to the Oh - June 1, 2010 - 8:42 am
Congrats, Jami!!!!! So excited for you! Just an idea, Denise: I think it would be really fun and totally awesome to upload the “Beautiful” song to your website, for at least a little while, as part of being runner up. It really makes me happy and gets my feet tapping and my girls dancing… might even make me buy more… just saying!!! LOL 
Anyhoo, nice to have a winner! Have a great day. xo
nammi - June 1, 2010 - 8:13 am
Congratulations to the winner – darling video. However, I have to say I was disappointed to see that the others that had made it to the final 5 (6) did not receive any kind of an award. Adjustments seemed to have been made along the way – 14 instead of the top 10; 6 instead of 5 finalists, and yet at the end, only the top 3 received any kind of an award or prize. I would have liked to have seen the other finalists receive a gift certificate also.
Chris - June 1, 2010 - 6:56 am
I knew one of the people that made it to the top 10 (top 12?) last year and all of them got some free clothing. Perhaps Denise plans to do that again this year as all of the top 14 deserve prizes!
Debbie - June 1, 2010 - 5:53 am

JodiR - June 1, 2010 - 4:52 am
A huge congrats to the winner and runners up! You all did so great! Loved the entries. Have fun with your trip and goodies ladies.
gran - June 1, 2010 - 4:22 am
Oops, sorry about adding the e to your name Jami. Think you will be so happy and excited you many never have noticed.
gran - June 1, 2010 - 4:20 am
Congratulations to Jamie. Lots of work went into so many entries to show how much we all appreciate Matilda Jane Clothing Company.
The Ava and Joe pic is great.
Denise what are you going to do with all your extra time now?
Lisa M - June 1, 2010 - 3:35 am
Congrats to Jami! You will have the trip of a lifetime!! Congrats to the other finalists too… I don’t know how Denise and crew selected
Lisa and Crew - June 1, 2010 - 3:19 am
Denise, thank you so much for this opportunity and the $300.00 gift certificate! Ariana has been asking about the contest everyday. This has been so much fun for my whole family (even Papa was checking the blog everyday). Congrats to Life of a Girl and all the other participants-everyone really put their heart and soul into their entries!
Amanda Keeys - June 1, 2010 - 1:51 am
YAY!!! Congrats Jami, your video was so fabulous.
Terilyn Brown - May 31, 2010 - 10:15 pm
Congratulations!! So excited for all three of the winners!
Life of a Girl - May 31, 2010 - 10:00 pm
I am a lucky girl!! I feel so honored to have even made the top 10, but to actually win is just beyond me. I loved every one of the entries and wish we could ALL go just so I could meet the amazing women behind all of the soulful ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just think it’s heartwarming to see so many people get behind such a wonderful company and give it their best shot. I don’t know that any of us did it for the prize in the end (well, maybe a little.) I like to think there are just a lot of “Loyal Royals” out there who want to share their love with a company that just keeps on giving. What an unbelievable group of women! I’m proud to be part of it.
Holly's Mama - May 31, 2010 - 9:53 pm
Congratulations winners!!!
Mary Kay - May 31, 2010 - 9:38 pm
Congrats to Life of a Girl! I love the quote from Jami Davis on this blog– it sure sums up MJ!! It has been such a fun week and an honor having been selected into the top 14!!! Thank you!! Denise, I’m glad you & the 435 crew enjoyed my Holly Hobby story & I hope others did, too!! Kaydra asked everyday to see herself on Matilda Jane!!
Connie Helm - May 31, 2010 - 9:31 pm
Congratulations to the winner and also to the other 4 runner ups. I don’t know what the ground rules where for the contest, but I thought the winner was chosen by vote after narrowing it down to 14 out of 400. Then the pick was down to 5 out of 400. I’m not sure why it was narrowed down to 5 and then only 3 received an award for their efforts. It seems like the final 5 could all have received some type of award. I was disappointed that 2 of the top 5 didn’t receive anything at all!!
Debbie - May 31, 2010 - 9:26 pm
Mallory, Kate, and I couldn’t be happier for Jami! We loved her “Life of a Girl” video – it was wonderful! We are so happy with our $300 MJC gift card. . .thank you for our prize. My girls are fast asleep right now, but they will have a great surprise in the morning!
vanessa diel - May 31, 2010 - 9:06 pm
Congratulations Jami, what an awesome opportunity it will be to make that trip and meet everyone behind MJ.
Good luck picking just one beautiful girl, that would be so hard to do. I see so many beautiful little girls.
God Bless!
Vanessa
Tina M - May 31, 2010 - 9:00 pm
Congrats to Jami!!! & Kudos to the runners up as well! Great job everyone!!! :0)
Beautifulclothing - May 31, 2010 - 8:59 pm
Congrats to Life of a girl! I downloaded that song as soon as I saw the video. I love the song and the video. You deserve the win for sure. If you need someone to go with you I will go. lol Anyway, congrats to you and the others.
Carol - May 31, 2010 - 8:30 pm
Congrats to all the ladies, especially the winner. I do think the other 2 who made it into the top 5 should get at least $100.00 to spend. They all put so much time and effort into their projects. It must be a bit of a downer when they were all so close!
tree*head - May 31, 2010 - 8:14 pm
Congrats to the runners up as well!! I have that Beautiful song in my head all the time!
tree*head - May 31, 2010 - 8:13 pm
Congrats to Jami…loved that video!!
Monika - May 31, 2010 - 8:07 pm

I am a Boutique Photographer in GA and I love Matilda Jane. Started carrying the collection here for my clients to use. I would like to be on the photographers we love list. Please contact me. I have located my trunk keeper and she is coming here tomorow so I can buy a ton of clothes for the studio. I have several images I would like to send you way that just came out gorgeous but wasn’t sure how to post them to your blog.
Thanks ,
Karen
Mary Kay - April 14, 2010 - 5:32 am
Denise, thanks for the quick response about the contest & returning items – totally understand! Can so relate to your whole getting gas story! My daughter started a new daycare- so my route from home, to daycare, to work does not take me past a gas station… always seem to be on empty! Our T-ball starts next week & I can not wait to sport my new beach bag full of goodies to keep my 3-year old busy while her brother is up to bat! Have a great day!!!!
Holly's Mama - April 13, 2010 - 9:28 pm

Three post in one day! Wow! All this anticipation for the 3rd release is killing me. I don’t know why I’m so anxious though…I will want it all wether I see it now or in a couple days…too bad my budget never matches my taste. sigh.
RachelR - April 13, 2010 - 3:15 pm
OMG….I sooooo NEED to have the green momma dress & the little girl Cher!! Hmmm, and if the mini-cher comes in a 12, well I need it for me too! Now I just gotta figure out how not to be broke…..sometimes being an unemployed single mom sucks! LOL!
Jennifer Fernandez - April 13, 2010 - 2:47 pm

Samuel Jackson
Yes, we like to refer to her as Samuel Jackson, or little Mule or just Sam. We love this girl and she is now 21, well, on the 1st she will be!! Seeing she has become part of the brains behind Platinum we’d better offer FREE Shipping on Platinum as well. Consider it, her birthday...

Happy Birthday Sam! Love this girl. She sends the sweetest emails, and is “always” kind and helpful! Love her spirit and passion for her job. The new look of Platinum reflects all those qualities. Have a great weekend.
Lil - April 2, 2010 - 8:40 pm

Emma's*Mommy - April 1, 2010 - 8:10 pm
Happy Birthday to Sam and thank you for the free shipping! My husband probably won’t thank you since I placed an order today that I wouldn’t have had I not had a good excuse like free shipping…oh well…it would have eventually happened anyway. Thanks again.
Laura Ann - April 1, 2010 - 7:36 pm
Denise ~ thank you so much for continuing to GIVE, GIVE, GIVE and GIVE some more. Seriously, you never stop. I know you do not do this to get thanked and you would rather your thoughtfulness go unrecognized, but every day I see more of your giving spirit and out of the blue got to experience it today through Share the Love. What a sweet suprise and it could not have come at a better time. Thank you so much for all you do…I try to live by the motto “you can never outgive” everyday in my role as an educator and you sweet friend exemplify that. I never knew the day I discovered MJ that I would gain a sweet friend & fabulous TK (KN) and so much more. Thanks again for all you do.
Laura Ann - April 1, 2010 - 7:29 pm
Happy Birthday to you…happy birthday to you….happy birthday dear Sam, Happy Birthdy to you! I hope you have the happiest 21st birthday evah. Thanks for all you do to keep the MJ Platinum coming.

Oh, I am so there. When I first read this, I thought it was THIS Thursday and I was already on Delta looking for flights. Decided to confirm and realized the parties in June. WOOHOO!!! Plenty of time to plan. CAN’T WAIT!!!

WOW! The photos are absolutely breath taking. The girls are beautiful, the photographers talented and your designs just make everything perfection! GENIOUS!
Amber - March 22, 2010 - 12:07 am
Yes – Liberty of London – perfect reason to go to Target…and photos of the house – we know you have incredible style!!
Rachel - March 21, 2010 - 8:53 pm
here is your reason to go to Target. SUPER cute womens clothes as well as several other super cute items by Larrys or Lloyds or Someone of London. I can’t think of who it is but you will know it when you see it. Adorable rain boots too.
Emma's*Mommy - March 21, 2010 - 7:46 pm
Just wanted to say that I got my “first installment” of Hammond Bay last week and your mission statement totally summed it up…it just makes me HAPPY!!!…and my daughter loves it because it is soo comfortable.
Also, I can’t imagine why you would ever feel nervous able what anyone here thinks about your new house. Everyone on this site obviously loves your taste and style or we wouldn’t be here…I’m sure we will all just be envious when you decide to show off your new home.
RachelR - March 21, 2010 - 7:17 pm
Awwww, look at little miss Londyn!!! She is just the cutest little thing! Now Denise….post the pics of your house already!!! It’s cool, your cool….now, pics please!!

Katelyn's Mommy - March 21, 2010 - 5:20 pm
Ditto on the question regarding the headbands with flowers. Too, too pretty!
Hope Target was a success.
