~Happy Video Tutorial Tuesday & A RAK for fun!~

Morning my crafty crafters!

Just a quick note, I am on Helmar today.
Since my video has some Helmar in it, we posted it on their blog.

*psst...don't forget the DT call for Helmar!*

While I was in West Virginia this weekend I found some GREAT
deals and the first thought that came to my mind was...
"WHAT GREAT RAKS for my blog!~"
So I picked up a FEW goodies to give away!
Now here is the first goody, it is a brand new 8X8 paper pad from Cosmo Cricket
and look at the fantastic shape on the edge of the paper! HELLO!
Plus they have journaling cards inside too.

This is the first prize for this week and I have a few more from me
and one from a Manufacturer too!
But I am going to make you work for it LOL
Follow my blog *duh* and if you are not a Fan of Helmar,
go check out Helmar on Facebook! HERE
sign up and tell them Pinky or Cristal sent ya!
Or become a follower on their blog! HERE
The girls work so hard to bring you new ideas or inspiration on a daily basis,
I am proud to be a part of such an amazing product/group.
Don't worry if you are already a fan or follower, you have the same chance!

If we can get more than 20 crafters to sign up, I will give away
another great prize to top it off! :)
Let's have some fun this week!

Oh and enjoy the video guys! Let me know
if you try it, I want to see your project!

BUUUTTTT, since so many have asked about the chicken coop and chickens
I HAD to update everyone about our dirty dozen and the coop.
This is how far hubby and the boys got on the chicken coop.
This is the back view (because our neighbors have garbage behind it
and no one needs to see that LOL
This hole will be the hatch for me to collect eggs! WOOT! I am excited
just thinking about all those fresh organic eggs!
And here are the Dirty Dozen...
oh how they have grown, I am ready to put them out soon!
They are still adorable to me. But I am ready for a quieter house LOL
So someone come and help hubby get the roof on the coop.
He ran out of wood and we have to go back to the store tonight.

That's all for me today my friends...
I have more to share and a GREAT RAK I need to photograph!
While on my trip I was thinking of you all and I picked up some
great giveaways for the blog, so stay tuned this week
I am RARING TO GO!!
