~Purple Cows BLOG HOP right here!~

Good morning crafty peeps!

It is officially the Purple Cows St Patty's Day Blog Hop
Are you ready for some hopping?
It begins here
http://sadiepurplecow.blogspot.com/
GREAT PRIZES along the way!!

I have been on a handmade for kids craft kick lately
and if you have been here, you know I have been making bookmarks.
I made them again, now before you sigh and move on...just wait :)
These bookmarks are FABRICRemember that you don't have to limit yourself to paper only,
the Purple Cows Laminator works on fabric just as well as paper!
Also I keep a separate set of Click Blades to cut fabric.
I thought these would be EASY, and a great gift for kids, that is not all sugary
and candy (not that I mind some sugar too!) for St Patty's Day,
but when I went through my paper stash I did not have any shamrock paper!
I got to thinking, I have oodles of fabric scraps, why not use that!

Oh and I told you yesterday I would talk more about our newest venture
"CHICKENS!"
Here they are, aren't they cute?! :)
Even Daffodil thinks so, she is as fascinated as our boys LOL
We ended up with 12 and are going to begin the coop building next weekend
I am so stoked, this is going to be a great adventure with the boys!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my crafty fun.
Here is your next BLOG STOP!
The beautiful JING JING

~FRIDAY!!!!! Time for some FUN~

Good morning all you lovely crafters!

Today is the Sassy Lil' Sketches, Dirty Scraps, ScrapFit Blog Hop!
So get to hopping! There is a GREAT challenge and
fun prizes as well!

Here is what I created for the Blog Hop,
you can also find it on Dirty Scraps
a long lost friend found me and sent me a picture
of myself many moons ago...Don't you love Sassafras Lass?! I know I do!
I always struggle with sketches, so I decided to just go with the flow
and if it was not perfectly matched to the sketch it was ok! :)
Of course I am in LOVE with my Helmar adhesive, I used the Scrap Dots
on this one for dimension and they rock! They do take a little bit
to dry, so I have found putting the dimension on last is best,
but they hold really well so it is worth the time.

OK I am off to get ready for this weekend!
~Have a great Friday~
~Thanks for popping by to say hey~

~Happy Hump Day, So many things coming up this week!~

Good morning to ya!
Today is a short day for school so I will be spending the day with my boys!
And I imagine their new best friend...BOOKS!
I am so happy my middle son is old enough to be involved in books now.
Every week we hit the library and he picks out 4 books, I swear
within 2 days he needs a refill heheh

I wanted to share this picture of him because
I fell in love with the candid shot...
So grown up...

Tally had a challenge to use 20 different manufacturers
on one layout, so I decided to play along for fun
I am not 100% happy, to me it looks a little discombobulated
but it's not for anything paid or a DT call, so I guess I will live LOL
Just kidding....see?... I do scrap for myself for fun some days! :)
I thought I would also share a sneaky peek of my layout for the
Get Sassy with the Dirty FITgirls Blog Hop
I am very excited to be a part of this on the Dirty Scraps Blog!
So look for the challenge and contest on FRIDAY!!!! On Dirty Scraps!

Also, tomorrow the new Dirty Scraps Challenge will be posted!
Another project I have been working on...
You know I cannot wait for March 1st,
I have so many layouts sitting here just waiting to share!

Have a great Wednesday, I am off to make eggs for the babies!
~Thank YOU for stopping by~

This is so exciting because everyone asks me "where can I get Purple Cows Products?"
Now I can just say HSN!

Be on the lookout for this project!
This one is mine!
They asked for a simple project so it's not my usual style...but I like it! :)
It is a fantastic GIFT each picture is actually a CARD and

Perfect for V-day!

~Purple Cows Great Holiday Ideas Blog Hop Right HERE!!!!!~

You don't want to miss the Purple Cows Blog Hop!
It begins at 10:00AM CST!

My idea is to make that loved one (the little ones) a ROOM SIGN!
I made this for a very adorable 9 year old who LOVES animals,
I thought she could hang it in her bedroom!
It is not only cute & personal, but easy and inexpensive to make,
and let's face it, we all need those kind of gifts this year.The Purple Cows Blog has MANY Project sheets, any project
we make as the DT, we chronicle step by step so you can make them too!
So be sure to check out the Purple Cows Blog as well!
Here or Here
Oh and I used the Purple Cows 6040 FREESTYLE mouse
to make this sign!

~Thanks for stopping by here on the blog hop~
And the next blog is....
JING JING!
