Home for the Holidays Giveaway Preview

Starting this week I’ll be participating in a fun, month-long giveaway hop called Home for the Holidays.  The hop revolves around holiday gifts and we have about a hundred bloggers participating as well as a grand prize from Nature’s Sleep!

For my giveaway package, I thought it would be fun to give away some books.  As a blogger who loves to share food, craft, and decor ideas, I think books that inspire new ideas in these areas make great gifts, so I was very happy when Ulysses Press agreed to us with a book bundle for this giveaway!

Friday Favorites – Week 182 – with DIY Pillow Projects

friday favorites

Welcome to week 182 of Friday Favorites!  And Happy September!  I have to say, I had a hard time choosing features this week. We had so many great recipes, crafts, and I was also surprised at the number of great furniture and room makeover projects we had last week.  And  did I mention printables? Yeah! Last week’s party had a little bit of everything!  If you missed it due to the Labor Day weekend, you should definitely look back.

Anyway, after much deliberation, I decided to share some pillows with you!  These not only look like great projects to take on, but the pillows look very trendy and stylish!  Hope you enjoy them!

By they way, this is my last chance to remind you to enter my Holey Donuts Giveaway.  Winner gets 5 assortments of donuts and $250 cash!  Also, I’ve just launched a new giveaway from Publix. [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 181 – Featuring Crafts

friday favorites

Happy Friday! And thank you for coming by this week for my Friday Favorites party! While you’re here this week, I’d like to take second to promote a couple of my latest endeavors.  First off, early this week I posted a great product feature: Easy Breathing with Arm & Hammer.  This is the first of a few posts that I will be doing for Arm & Hammer over the next few months, and I’d really appreciate some comments if you have a moment or too! (Thanks ahead of time!)

Also, over the last couple of weeks I’ve been adding new college football jewelry to my Etsy shop, so if you’re a fan please check them out. I have several teams available, and I’m happy to do a custom order for you if I don’t currently have your team in stock, and I can do NFL teams for you as well.  I also have 3 different chain options for these, and they look great on girls or guys.  And all necklaces can be made into key chains too, if that’s something you’re interested in. (Again, thanks in advance for looking!)

Now it’s time to get crafty! Check out this week’s features!
