Bloomin’

by 23 Comments

The other week, I was at Home Depot just browsing around. While in the paint department, I came across the new Behr paint swatches. I loved that they were shaped like leaves. I found them very endearing. So, I grabbed a bunch. (note: When I say “a bunch”, I mean A BUNCH. Like…I almost was embarrassed by how many I had in hand)… Thankfully, the lovely folks are Home Depot didn’t seem to mind.
When I got home, I took out a piece of wood I had stashed in my “craft room” and painted it white. After that, I used some glue dots to start gluing my Behr chips to the board. I ended up with a flower. It only seemed fitting to use a Sharpie to write the word “Bloom” onto the board, as well.
Easy Peasy. Just how I like my projects.

October Advertisers

by 3 Comments

I just want to take this moment to  publicly thank my advertisers. If it weren’t for them, I definitely wouldn’t be able to fund my crafting addiction. Please be sure to go show them support by checking out their sites and giving them some love.

So, who are my advertisers, anyway? This month, I have three amazing ladies helping me out.

First, there is Inner Hooker. I couldn’t help but laugh at her name. Hilarious. Inner Hooker sells patterns for crocheters. They aren’t just any patterns, though. And, they most definitely aren’t your Grandma’s crochet patterns, that is for sure!

And, oh my goodness. Look at this little Cacoon Pod for a photography prop. If I ever have a baby, you better bet I’ll be getting pictures of the precious thing in one of these! Be sure to check out her other patterns. She has adorable hats!

Another one of my advertisers is Say it on the Wall who sells vinyl to “give your home a voice” I’m totally loving these new Home Blocks!

You can change out the “O” to a different picture every season. Isn’t it perfect? Go check out her shop for more fun vinyl.

Yet another great advertiser of Oops! I Craft My Pants is Mommy Holly who sells quality handmade paper products. I was in awe when I first saw Holly’s work. Everything is so perfect and cute. Seriously, look at these brown paper tags!

I love those cute little owls, don’t you?

My last advertiser is awesome, you guys. She doesn’t have a shop, but she DOES have a great blog that everyone should check out called Get Pretty.  On Get Pretty, Laura teaches us all how to…well…Get pretty! She shares beauty tricks that seriously work wonders. I love how knowledgeable Laura is and what a great blogger she is. Go check her out, she is WONDERFUL.

It’s true. I am. I’ve just been busy these past few weeks. Extremely busy! Thankfully, I think I’m finally ready to jump back onto the blogging bandwagon, if you’ll still have me, that is.  Today, I have a few posts that I’ll be posting. Unfortunately, none of them are that interesting (besides my advertising one!)…So, bare with me here. I promise I’ll have an actual craft up tomorrow (GASP, I know).

I can’t even tell you how excited I was when CSN Stores contacted me about doing a review here on my blog. I have seen other bloggers doing reviews for them lately, and I have been a little jealous, to say the least.

With over 200+ stores to browse through, CSN is the perfect place to find everything you could possibly need. Here are a few of my favorite things for a few of their sites.

Baby Travel Systems
Dog beds that would make any pooch happy:

I could go on and on. Everything CSN stores sell is amazing! Go on, check them out here!
