Letting the creative juices flow...LINKY PARTY! and an upcoming GIVEAWAY!

I am super excited to announce an upcoming giveaway....my very first ever giveaway!!!
And it's courtesy of the fabulous people at...

How fun is that? The giveaway will begin on Wednesday morning so make sure and come back and enter to win one of Shabby Apple's fabulous dresses! I can't wait to show you which one is up for grabs.


I will not be doing any features with this linky party due to the fact that I am having major issues with my blog and I'm super frustrated with my computer at the moment and it needs a time-out :)

You may also notice, all of my buttons (besides the linky party one below that I managed to pull from an existing post) are all gone. Have you seen some In Memory thing popping up in place of my buttons? Bizzare-O......I will be working to get them back on but who knows when that will be due to the fact (I kind of like that saying) that my husband might need surgery sometime in the very near, possibly tomorrow future.

p.s. don't mind the blog....it seems that every time I check this blog some new problem appears...so if things look wacky here and there just bare with me. I might have a whole new look at the end of the week ;)

Now the rambling is done....onto the party people.

*Go ahead and link up as many projects as you'd like!

* Grab the button so everyone can come party and get in on the fun (it's the nice thing to do).

* Please no links to Etsy shops or online stores.

* And last, but certainly not least, it always feels good to see that others enjoy your stuff, so please leave a comment with the two people who posted before you :)

Blah...

I greatly dislike Valentine's Day.

(come by later tonight for the linky party and my very first super exciting giveaway info!)

p.s. does anyone know what's going on with some of the blog buttons out there? My linky party button is all funky and weird and I have done nothing to it....so I am sure who ever has this button on their blog, it's not appearing with my graphics. I will try and figure it out asap. If any of you know what is going on please let me know what I can do to fix it....thanks!

Let your creative juices flow....Linky Party!

Yep. I'm a little late with the party. I apologize.

Thanks SO SO SO much for the amazing party last week! The biggest to date....you guys are awesome!

I will feature some projects from last weeks party tomorrow if that's ok....I'm dealing with a major headache :(

Bieber Fever?

I'm getting ready for my daughters birthday tomorrow, so I'm busy busy with all things

JUSTIN BIEBER!

Did you know there is NOTHING birthday wise with him? NOTHING. You wanna know when they will start having birthday decor of Justin? February 14th naturally. ARRRGGGHHHH!

So needless to say I have bought tons of posters, I actually found wall decals and different shades of purple in streamers, balloons, plates etc.....because that's Justin's favorite color didn't you know? :)

Here is a peak at her invitation...

I will post pictures of the party on Monday!

Have a great weekend everyone!

My Valentine Decor...or lack thereof

My Valentine decor...

I don't think I will ever change my Valentine filler for these jars! I just love em too much! Go here to see the post on how to make some for yourself!

I know, I know. These are EVERYWHERE. I have never made some of my own and now I'm so in love with them that I'm making them in all sorts of colors for every holiday! Crazy felt lady! My daughters favorite part is helping fold and staple the ends. If you would like to see a tutorial on how to do these, leave me a comment and let me know!

These are heart picks that I found at (you guessed it) Hobby Lobby. Super cheap too. Like $1 for a bag with 4 in it!

Not too much Valentine decor going on in my house....slowly, very slowly. There are a few more things around, but I'm sick of taking pictures :)

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Made my day moment...

These are my girls. I love them to pieces. Olivia (the one on the right) is in First Grade and was asked to write a paragraph describing what she thinks she will be like when shes is 100 years old....this is what she wrote.

Wen I am 100 I whant to be a chirliter and chir and chir and chir and chir.

And be a palis women.

And see who ever does samptheng rong.

And B sow hape and be good to the wrled and be a good chirliter.

Did you get that? Let me translate.

When I am 100 I want to be a cheerleader and cheer and cheer and cheer and cheer.

And be a police woman.

And see whoever does something wrong.

And be so happy and be good to the world and be a good cheerleader.

Then I saw her picture she drew to go along with it which made her have gray hair, glasses, some wrinkles and a big birthday cake.

She turned to me and said "You wanna know why I have a birthday cake mom? Because I'm turning 100 duh?"

Normally using the word duh like that would be cause for me getting mad, but Oh my word. I love that girl. She makes me laugh and laugh! The whole thing just made my day so I just wanted to share that with you....thanks for listening :)
