~Gypsy GIVEAWAY Come Celebrate The Holidays With Me~

♥ Good morning my amazingly talented crafty friends ♥

I have a special giveaway today straight from the Cricut Circle.

You know I gave away 2 Gypsy's this year and I saved one for

Christmas time!! I wanted to give one away right at the holidays,

just in time for Christmas!

Provocraft is an AMAZING company, and I am so blessed to

design with them on the Cricut Circle Magazine.

I am overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness.

I am so blessed to work with companies who truly do care.

In the spirit of kindness and the holidays from my family in TN

to your families all over the world....

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

There are no strings to this giveaway....

I would LOVE for you to be a follower but it is not required ♥

Just leave a comment about your holidays

I mean anything you want to share...does not have to be elaborate.

This truly is a RANDOM DRAWING.

I would LOVE for you to share with your friends and on all

message boards and media sites (even Facebook).

But it is not required, it would be nice ♥

On December 19th I will randomly choose a WINNER! :)

And ship it out priority right away!

So be sure to check back so I can ship it same day!

Happy Holidays my friends, you all make my life so much richer

and you all have enabled me to share these amazing gifts throughout the year.

~Second GYPSY Winner! & PLAID Fun~

Good morning my craty-licious friends,

I can honestly say it is a bittersweet day today...

because I am SO HAPPY to giveaway a GYPSY

but so sad I don't have 100 more to giveaway!!

To be fair I kept it 100% random, I painstakingly put

every name into Random.org this morning and

let it do it's randomizing thing and this was the very first

name (The Winner!)

I cannot honestly believe I have heard the rave about this all over the place and it's so hard to believe the generousity of Provo Craft and yourself.
You have all these free tutorials and share all kinds of fun things on your blog.
I just became a follower and I hope I win this because I am gonna make someone's holidays the best there is. I hope that is.
It seems like winning the lotto

Good luck to us all

~Ghostly Sunday & Chicken Update~

Good morning my crafty friends...

are you ready for another Halloween project?

This is another invitation using my Cricut Expression,

Color Core'dinations cardstock, Stickles, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

I thought it was an appropriate invitation for a ghostly party~

It was fun to make too.

I loved this Core'donations cardstock, when I filed it down

it made it look like actual aged stone. So fun!

*Quick chicken update*

Another picture of eggs, this one had special note,

one of our chickens has taken to laying more blu-ish then green-ish eggs,

very pretty, I love seeing them in the morning.

The chickens now lay from 7/8 to 10 eggs daily, plenty for our family

and a few extra for the neighbors. It hit me last week

when I was outside gathering eggs and my bowl was full...

"We are really doing this, the cycle of life in our backyard"

It was a great feeling, and I love not buying eggs anymore.

I also love the diverse colors and waking to the clucking.

Now our neighbors...not so much LOL they hate it, but it's our property

so they don't really have a say. I get to hear their music and parties

they can listen to my hens *smile*

BIG week ahead!

Tomorrow : GYPSY GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Tuesday : SPECIAL GUEST BLOGGER

Wednesday: I WAS INTERVIEW :) *link will be posted*

I am so excited about this interview!

Big week! Do NOT forget to enter for the second Gypsy! :)

~Happy Sunday

~Gypsy WINNER!!!!!!~

Good morning!!!!!!! It is an EXCITING DAY TODAY!!!

Today the WINNER for the Cricut Gypsy is announced!

But before I get to that....hehehe

I had to share another Halloween project with y'all!

This is a Halloween Mask made using my Cricut,

my i-rock, denim, and Mod Podge. Fun right?

I used My Cricut to cut "peacock" feathers but I embellished

them with the i-rock and made it very ghoulish instead.

I blinged this baby out! I must have spent 1 hour just

i-rockin' these studs on LOL

I wanted it to last so I sealed the Jack O Lantern with Modge Podge and

used Extreme Glitter Paint on the edges to make it pop.

I am thinking I might out a ribbon in it and hang it

(like I don't have enough Halloween wall hangings LOL)

Ok Ok....I know no one cares about projects today...

You all came over to see who won this amazing Provocraft GIVEAWAY!

I put all the names into Random.org and here is the winner of

the amazing Provocraft Giveaway (GYPSY) Thanks YOU

Provocraft and Cricut Circle!

~Halloween Acrylic Fun!~

Good morning my crafty friends.

Halloween is fast approaching, usually I have all the costumes

made by now and we are a bustle with spooky fun,

but this year I am knee deep in softball and way behind.

Instead I am using my time crafting fun Halloween projects.

I saw this acrylic heart in my stash last night

and thought "Oh my goodness I love Halloween, it has always been

so fun for our family, why not use the heart? Go crazy girl"

Yes, I say things like "Go crazy girl" in my head to myself LOL

I just wanted to have some fun and be funky...

I love the end result and the boys are so excited about these signs.

I don't even know why they just are LOL

For this project I used:

Clear Scraps Acrylic Heart (surprising right?)

Echo Park Papers

Imaginisce i-top and i-rock

Netting & Pearl strands from the fabric shop

Elmer's Exacto scalloped scissors

Which reminds me.....

Did you know Clear Scraps is having a Halloween Crafty

Contest? They are RIGHT HERE! You should enter.

I have a VERY a busy week coming up

Friday: the Gypsy WINNER will be randomly

chosen and announced on this blog so be sure to check back.

Monday: A NEW Gypsy GIVEAWAY!

Tuesday: A Surprise Guest Blogger (PINK POWER!) many amazing giveaways too!

Wednesday: You might just see my face and an interview pop up somewhere special!

So stay tuned, as always it will be hopping~

I have a very sick boy home today, so we will

be snuggling up with the breathing machine today. :(

Hopefully tomorrow he will be able to breathe a little better on his own.

~Have a beautiful fall Thursday~

~THANK YOU for stopping by and being such amazing crafty friends~
