~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

~Attracting Chickens...hehehe~

Good morning all my amazing crafty friends!
I spent most of yesterday just sewing,
I broke down and made some pillowcases for my boys
they have been asking since we made them for Conkerr Cancer,
so it was time to make them some too.

It is MY DAY for the Helmar post. Go check it out!!
Using up those snowy pictures :)

How are your My Memories mini books coming? Is anyone else making one?
Are you having fun with it? I know I am! I even put a little notebook
in the car to keep a record of the cute things the boys say.
This weekend was chalked full of fun, like this little page
"Chicken Attractin' " LOL Oh my goodness I nearly fell out the car~!
I used Helmar zapdots for dimension.
I used them on the journaling spot, this is going to be a
fun thick mini book! :) They come in black, white and clear,
I cannot wait to try them on something more transparent.
This paper is the My Little Shoebox paper, I am finally using
this die cuts I won forever ago!

Yesterday was a great day, beautiful and full of sunshine, plus the kids
were learning to ride bikes, I think I took 50 pictures.
I will share a few after I get to editing them.
Remember Dirty Scraps is coming up tomorrow!
Now back to getting these kids off to school.

~Have a beautiful day~
