A Dozen Handmade Cards

I've had an unexpected few days at home. Kylie and Lexi both have the flu and so not only am I not working, but I am TRAPPED inside my house!

So far I have cooked, cleaned, made a pathetic video, read a couple of books and made a stack of scrapbook pages. With the leftovers, I made the cards below.  This is the first time I've made cards in probably a year, and it was a nice change of pace. I like using up scraps of paper and embellishments. I may spend money on crafts, but when it comes down to it, I am very thrifty! Kinda nice to say that 12 cards made and not a dollar spent! (well, lots of dollars were spent at other times, but not specifically for this project!)

All the papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart. The embellishments come from here, there and maybe even a button or two from an old outfit!
I thinking of giving this set of cards away. What do you think? And would you use them?

And the winner is…

Michelle... EMAIL ME!! I can't find your email!!!


*******************************************************
Yeah for Michelle who gets a $40 gift certificate to CSN Stores.  And thanks CSN Stores for giving me the chance to host a drawing!
And a quick word about that.. many of my “usual” followers who leave comments didn’t this time.  I wondered why… so I asked.  They didn’t want me spending my own money on a gift for them.  Well, I DIDN’T!! Isn’t it so cool that this store just gave me the opportunity to giveaway such a great prize!
So to all of you out there that hung back to be nice to me, I promise I’ll do another giveaway soon.  :)

The quest for a child-sized armchair and a GIVEAWAY from a really cool store!!

Kylie will be turning one at the end of August and is already more than mobile! She gets into everything and LOVES climbing.  For her birthday I have been on the lookout for a cute armchair that is just her size.  Of course, the one I want from an un-named company is OUTRAGEOUS in cost.. so that got me looking and I am really excited to tell you about this store on the web called CSN Stores.

I first have to show you some of my favorite things from this site..

The headboards:
 

The storage solutions:
 

The child-sized furniture:

I love all of the different things you can get from this site.  They even have an outdoor art store!  Isn’t that crazy! (In a good way..)

No, I haven’t bought the items in the above pictures, but I sure would like too!  I am thinking that the storage bench is a must-have and will be finding a home in our house soon!  As to Kylie’s chair, I’ve put my mother-in-law in charge of finding her a chair for a birthday gift.

But what about a giveaway???

How about a $40 gift certificate to CSN stores!!

The lucky winner will get to go and surf the store and find their own prize!  How exciting!!

To enter, leave a comment about what you might want to buy!  I’ll take comments from now through Saturday night, June 19th.

And the Anniversary Gift goes to….
