Craftwell Designer Spotlight

The nice people over at Craftwell (makers of the eCraft) did a Designer Spotlight on me today over on their blog! I answered some fun questions and shared a project. Thanks for featuring me Craftwell! 

February Photo A Day Week 2

I have been having so much fun with Fat Mum Slim's photo challenge on Instagram! If you missed my pictures from Week 1, you can see them here. 

Now onto week 2....

I had a migraine on Day 8 so I really tried to avoid the sun but did eventually have to feed the animals and noticed that Pattycake's feed bucket is the color of the sun and that counts, right? :)

I work across the street from the house I grew up in and I thought it would be fun to take a photo of that front door. It still looks exactly the same!

Of course I had to forget to put make up on for Day 10 and it be a self portrait! Oh well. I was working at the cake shop and looking so fabulous ;)

Snuggling with my cute cat makes me happy! 

Yikes! Motivation to clean it. 

I got this in the mail from my Mom (see the little note above the chick?) and it has blue writing on it. I'm thinking of getting Chickens and she was very thoughtful to send it to me. 

This is my "infertility necklace" It says "You are worth it all". It's my message to my future children. Whatever we have to go through to get them will be worth it. When I took this picture we were on our way to court to try and get a little girl out of the foster care system and home with us. It didn't happen this court date but there is still hope. 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks photos! You can follow my instagram feed here.

New Winners for BOTH Giveaways!

So if you were sad that you didn't win the Valentine's Card Pack, think again! I had to choose another winner because the first one never responded, so you still have a chance!

I used random.org again, here is a photo so that everyone can sleep tight tonight knowing it was fair :)

Also, I had to pick a new winner for the $25 credit to my Etsy Shop because I didn't get a response to that one either. I'm batting 0 for 2! :) 

Here is the new winner...

February Photo A Day Week 1

I've made a decision that I hope y'all like. I've decided to share more about my personal life on my little craft blog. Why? Because while I really like seeing people's projects and crafts, I realized I really like seeing fun details about their lives. 

Also, I get A LOT of requests for photos of my pig to be put on my blog. Not even kidding. He is pretty popular! :)

So, I'm totally addicted to this app called Instagram on my iphone.

 Basically you just take photos on your phone and then post them for your friends to see and comment on. They give you fun filters that make your photos look awesome. I post a ridiculous amount of photos of my animals on there :)

A blogger named Fat Mum Slim created this "Photo A Day" challenge. 

 She started it in January but I didn't join until month. It is seriously so much fun! Here are my photos from this week...

I stopped by my Dad's work to say hi. 

Anniversary 

Saw my Dad again on Day 3. I thought something was wrong with my car, turns out there was just a stick under my car. Embarrassing. 

I did a little play on words for this one. I wrote, "It gets stranger and stranger how much I love eggs lately" :)

I just happened to be in the bathroom at church at 10 am. Seriously not planned. 

I made hashbrowns for the first time ever! 

When my Mom and I adopted this cute cat from the pound 15 years ago his name was "Buttons". We didn't really feel like that name fit him so we re-named him Murphy.
