Clothespin Wreath is a WINNER!

By -

At the end of December I entered a photo contest at Better Homes & Gardens website. They were asking that you submit a wreath you had made for the Holiday season. 
Well of course I knew right away that I wanted to enter my Christmas Clothespin Wreath. It was so fun to make and I couldn't believe all the hype I was getting from it. 
I was so excited when Better Homes & Gardens had contacted me about winning! 
You can read a little blurb about it on Facebook right now. I am just giddy with excitement and happiness!  Of course the $250 prize isn't so shabby either! 
Yippy!  


P.S. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for getting me past round 1 with all your votes! You're the best!

Congrats! You deserved to win for this adorable wreath! I've seen it absolutely everywhere lately - Pinterest, etc. I enjoyed my visit to your blog. I popped over because you were listed as someone's favorite at Vintage Revivals. I can see why!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
