Something for my Shabby Friend...

I think she's already checked in for the day...so it's probably safe to post this now. Hee hee. I hope she likes it. She has inspired me so much with her blog the Shabby Old Potting Shed and her crafty blog Shabby Secret Garden.

Although I have never met her face to face...I feel like we are kindred spirits!

So, Lea, I hope you like it. I hope it makes you realize that someone in California is thinking of you and praying for you!

Have a great weekend to all my bloggy friends!!

I'd love to hear from you if you stop by here!

My friend Lisa has a giveaway...

Head on over to her blog at Sharing Life With Lisa. She is about to celebrate her 100th post by giving away one of my Joy Boxes! I especially love her blog called Living A Fit Life. It's great motivation for those that are interested in weight loss, being healthier, and ..."presenting your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God"...Romans 12:1

I will be making a custom Joy Box for one special commenter on her post - so, go and see!

PaperKrazy Creations!

We have a winner!! The lunch box tags will be going to Cori! You can email me your snail mail address at midnite_scrapper06@yahoo.com You will LOVE these tags!


(I will probably use these to help make some quick cards)

You all know I love Etsy! I have been doing a little shopping here and there, because I really haven't had a lot of time to play with my papers and inks lately. Well, recently I found a set of tags that I really liked and it has led me to find a brand-new favorite seller.

*My most recent purchase*

*I already used some from this set!*

Etsy is a place that you can buy or sell hand-made items. You can also find antiques and supplies there. There are so many sellers offering wonderful things on Etsy, that you have to just know what you're looking for or mark a few favorite sellers or just watch the front page to see what's newly listed (these flash through!). Well, I do all of the above.

So one day, a set of bold tags caught my eye. I clicked on them and it took me to Kyla's PaperKrazy Creations and WOW! the prize was right! I hit add to cart faster than anything. LOL

After I bought the tags, I looked around the shop for a while. I knew I was in love. It wasn't long before I received the tags and was so impressed by the quality and the communication from the seller, that I knew I'd be shopping with this seller again! Oh, and she throws in a little freebie too! I have been reading her blog since then and asked her all sorts of questions about her work and she has gone the extra mile every time to explain and answer everything. I decided there and then that I wanted to tell others about this lady! I let her know that I wanted to feature her and buy a set of her great lunch tags to give away. Well, she graciously donated one set, so that I could keep the set that I purchased. I have purchased two sets from her and love them. I've been using them for my girls' lunches and also for birthdays and notes of cheer. You will LOVE these.

I am going to be holding a drawing to give away this (above) set of lunchbox tags. All you need to do is:

1. Go to her Etsy shop here and look around. Tell me what you like best.

2. If you make a purchase - let me know - I will enter your name twice!

3. Post about this drawing on your blog, linking it back here to mine.

4. Comment here to let me know that you have done the above things, and you will be entered!

I will close this on Thursday, February 26 at 8:00 pm and will announce the winner shortly after!

Thanks for playing along and by all means - if you have someone you want us to check out - let us know!
