Blog swappin with Just Another Day in Paradise!

Yep. It's Wednesday and you know what that means....another swap! Yippie!
This time it's with the fabulous Larissa over at Just Another Day in Paradise!
And boy does she have some fun ideas....and lots of yummy stuff too.
Have fun visiting her blog and give her some love.
The linky party from yesterday is still open below this post, so link up your stuff so I can possibly feature you on Friday!


I am so HAPPY to be doing my very first blog swap AND to be doing it with the completely delightful Beckie.

My name is Larissa and you can find my piece of the blogosphere here

My blog started out as a family blog regaling my friends and family with our day-to-day comedies and dramas. Just like Beckie, very quickly my family blog became my creative outlet. I found myself sharing more and more creative stuff, so in the beginning of this year I took the leap and joined the crafty blogging world.

I LOVE doing all things creative. I love looking around me and seeing all the potential crafts. I find inspiration just about anywhere. I am totally a wing-it-fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of crafter, and amazingly it almost always works out.

Over at my blog you will find me getting my craft on, getting my party on, and getting my eating on, all intermixed with the hilarity of living my sweet life as the only female in a house full of men...one full grown and three in minature form. So come on over and take a look. Stay awhile. I would love another bloggy neighbor.

Here are just a few things you will find when you stop by Just Another Day in Paradise

Getting my craft on--

Mason Jar Herb Garden

Vinyl Table Cloth Bib Tutorial

Felt Breakfast of Champions

Freezer Paper Stenciled Tees

Getting my party on--

THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Beckie for giving me my first blog swap experience.

I am pretty much tickled to be a part of this great blog today.

Another blog swap today with Joy from Mommas kinda crafty!!! Go check out all the adorable ideas! Take it away Joy!

I am thrilled to be blog swapping with Beckie today! She has a great blog and I enjoy reading all her posts.

I am Joy and creator of Mommaskindacrafty!

I started blogging to have a place to store all the wonderful projects I was finding online. I am amazed at all the talented ladies out there! I also wanted to share some of my projects with my family and friends. I also like to feature projects I am adding to my "to do"list. My blog has slowly been growing and I am so excited to make new friends and meet other bloggers!

I am privileged to be a SAHM to 4 great kids! 3 boys and 1 girl. I have a wonderful husband of almost 15 years! Most of my crafting gets done during naptime while the older 3 are at school. I am so lucky to have such a good little napper! I love to sew and create all kinds of fun things. Mostly things for my kids and stuff for my home. Most of my projects are simple. After all, I'm only kinda crafty!

Here are some of my favorite projects!

Bandanna skirt!

Birthday T-shirts!

Burlap Wreath!

One last project that I just finished.
Altered Clipboard. This one is for a special student teacher who has been in my sons 1st grade class this year. I made all the teachers their teacher appreciation gifts last week, but saved this for her party on Friday. I hope she likes it!

I didn't take many pictures, but these are so easy! Just choose some fun scrapbook paper and cut to fit. I chose to do both sides on this one. I have made others and only done the front for a Menu board, or shopping list board.
Give it a couple coats of mod podge and decorate to your liking! I was working with a 7 yr old on this
one and he wanted her name on it. We compromised with her initial in the bottom corner on the front and #1 Teacher on the back. I added some fun ribbons to the top and added a flower with a button center with hot glue.
There are so many options with this so just have fun! We kept ours simple since I had a good little helper!





There are lots more fun and easy projects over on my blog. I hope you will take the time to come and visit me. I also want to thank Beckie again for swapping with me today!

Blog swappin with Night Owl Crafting!

Hey there Juice readers! I am so excited to be doing my first blog swap with Leslie from Night Owl Crafting. Be sure to check out Leslie's fabulous blog and show the girl some love!
Happy Wednesday!

I am so excited to be blog swapping with Becky today!

My name is Leslie and I am the creator of Night Owl Crafting!

Unfortunately I do not have the privilege of being a stay at home mom, so all my projects are done late at night or on the weekends. I do love my job though, I am a Special Education teacher at the high school level. My degree is really in Elementary Education, hopefully I will be able to teach those cute little snotty nose kindergartners. (No offense to kindergarten parents) Being a kindergarten teacher would be one of my dream jobs! Anyway I have two sweet kiddos, Brock is 7 and Jaylee is 1. I am married to my sweetheart Jason who I met online (shh don't let him know I told you that). So enough about my personal life, let me show you my crafty life!

I started Night Owl Crafting, because my personal blog was being taken over by crafts instead of my children and family events. I have only had it for 3 months and I have a confession to make...I am addicted! My husband wants to send me to craftaholics anonymous! Let me give you a little taste of my blog. Here are a few things that I have been working on lately.

Little girl spring outfit!

Fabric Changing Pad!

Fabric Pinwheels!

These are just a few of my latest projects! I would love for you to come stop by my blog. I have a link party every Wednesday called "Hoo's Got Talent?" so come join the party every week. I want to say thanks to Becky for letting me take over her blog for the day. I absolutely adore her cute blog. Also thanks to all of you for taking the time to read this post and I hope to see you over at Night Owl Crafting!
