Creations by Alison Shane: Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Happy Thursday!
It's almost the weekend!

It's that month again. The month that you see pink everywhere. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so of course we created a collection to help in that awareness.

I started this collection last year because my mother in law was diagnoses with stage three inflammatory breast cancer. She is now considered "no evidence of cancer" after a rough year.
So in honor of her struggle, and anyone else who may have been affected by this disease sometime in their life, this collection started.

Since these items are available all year round, it's more like breast cancer awareness all year long. During the month of October, 100% of the money made from this collections sales are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
http://www.bcrfcure.org/
Last year we were able to donate $17 to this organization. I know that might not seem like much, but every little bit can help.

What do we do with the money from sales the rest of  the year, you ask? 100% of the money gets donated too, just in a different way. Creations by Alison Shane chooses one person a year who has been affected by breast cancer and donates to help pay for medical bills.
For the year 2014 the candidate is my mother-in law, Jennifer Galloway.

So here are some items from the Breast Cancer Awareness Collection, "Think Pink"

Bracelets




Flower Clip


Knit Blanket


Adult Headbands



 Brooches



 Bows




 Knit Scarfs



Knit Earwarmers




 Baby Headband

Are you, or do you know someone who has gone through, or is going through breast cancer? Send us an email at creationsbyalisonshane@rocketmail.com with your story to be eligible to be a candidate to receive donations.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!

October Special


Hello everyone!

Sorry I've been kind of absent from the blog last month. A lot has been going on. My dad came for a visit for a week for my birthday and my husband and I just moved into a bigger store for our business. So needless to say, I've been one busy girl. :)

(At Rock City, TN because no blog is complete without pictures)


Now I'll get to the point of why you're really reading this blog. ;)
Of course, no month is complete without having some kind of sale!

So for the month of October, get free shipping with any purchase!
There is not minimum order either!
Payment must be paid in full by October 31st to receive discount.



If you would like to get in contact with me you can email me at weddingsbyalisonshane@gmail.com or check out our facebook page at

Real Weddings: Alison and Addison



Happy Thursday!
The weekend will be here soon!

So I've done a few blogs now, mainly just to talk about deals that I am having. 
I want to also be able to show you some of my items in real weddings!

I will start with the wedding that started it all, my own!
(There will not be a designer fun fact on this blog since the whole blog is one)

My husband and I got married on November 5, 2011 at the Knoxville Zoo!
It couldn't have been any more appropriate (unless it was Disney of course) because we are both big animal lovers.

The colors we chose were red, white, and black.
The theme was, of course, Disney. ;) (I told you I was obsessed)

So here it is, enjoy!

Introduction



Good Evening!
Welcome to my new blog!

I guess I will start with a little bit about me. :)

My name is Alison Galloway and I will be turning 23 next month. I was born and raised in Southern California and now living in beautiful East Tennessee. I'm a wife and mother to two beautiful boys. I have a almost 16 month old and a 6 week old (Yes, they are a little over 14 months apart). I can't imagine my life without them now.




My husband and I have been married for almost three years (November 2011) and that was the start of my obsession all things wedding.



Back in the beginning of 2011 I started crafting some hair accessories for some co-workers of mine. Then I stared making tutu's. I then decided to start my own business. Creations by Alison Shane.
www.facebook.com/creationsbyalisonshane


I made a lot of the decorations for my own wedding and through this business, I started getting Brides asking me if I could make some things for their wedding. Of course I said yes.
And so, Alison Shane Weddings was made.

I do still run my Creations by Alison Shane business, but it is more for tutus, hair accessories, and knit items.

I'm excited that I finally figured out what I want to do as a career. With two little ones, running my own business couldn't be anymore perfect. Plus, I love making people happy, what better way to do that then on a day that is so special to them?

As of right now I do not have a website (still working on that) so my main contact is through my facebook page. www.facebook.com/weddingsbyalisonshane
I am also a vendor with The Bride Link for Knoxville, Tn.
 https://www.thebridelink.com/knoxville-weddings/vendor/alisonshaneweddings

I know I still have a while to go for me to get my business where I want it to be, but we all have to start somewhere.

If you are interested in Alison Shane Weddings making items for your wedding, you can send me an email at weddingsbyalisonshane@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for reading.

At the end of every blog I will try to do a fun fact about me, or something wedding related.

DESIGNER FUN FACT: I am obsessed with Disney! My husband proposed at Disney, we had a Disney themed wedding, we had our honeymoon at Disney World, and we even go back for every anniversary.
