~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

I have a new project today and before you say anything...
I know I know, they are bookmarks and everyone makes bookmarks
but let me tell you why I am sharing them today.Do you have children in school or church?You know I have a 2nd grader, and in class they have a
"Treasure Box" the teacher is always looking for parents to
buy candy, or donate old toys for it because every Friday if they
had a great week they get a prize.
My son came home and said
"MOM the treasure box is so boring I don't want another piece of candy...
can't you do something fun for it??"
Mom to the rescue!Bookmarks...easy, inexpensive, uses up those fun stickers,
and uses scraps up...I can't think of a better project!
So here is what I used
Imaginisce Live Loud Collection Live Loud Ribbons 2"X6" scraps Rub-ons Stickers Tombow Metal Glue my Purple Cows Laminator
I can guarantee you that you will be the hit of the class/Sunday School
with these FUN and cute bookmarks, plus they encourage reading.

OK on to the RAK, I know you are waiting LOL
I have the cutest album here for someone! :)
Cosmo Cricket Jack's Album

~Just another amazing Monday~

Good morning my crafty friends,
I did nothing remotely crafty this weekend, except sew...
and my son had his very first baseball practice.
I loved every second of this weekend with the boys.

Since there is nothing too crafty to share this morning
I will just share a couple things coming up!
#1 is the huge blog hop with Helmar!
Not only will there be a huge prize at the end but also I will be
giving away my favorite glue! The one I rave about all the time
Helmar 450 Quick Dry

#2 Look to Helmar on the 11th I have a blog post coming with
a fun project to scrap those snowy pictures in a quick easy way.

#3 keep an eye out for my latest project and how to make it
yourself on Purple Cows Laminated gift baskets...I love
how easy they are and make a baked good gift seem
so extra special. :) This is a great time of year to give some spring cheer
to those wintery blue-filled neighbors :)This project and the project sheet to go with it should be coming up soon!
That's it for me today, I have a lovely day planned in front of my sewing machine
making a couple aprons for auction at a Lupus Charity crop.
Have a great and beautiful day
~Thank YOU for supporting me and stopping by~
