Okay, so here is the thing.
I love this little blog of mine. It was my baby before my body would make real ones, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Since having our first daughter last year (heck, even before then), I have had a really hard time balancing blog, crafting, and motherhood. And, just as it started to seem like maybe I could get on top of my game-- We found out I was pregnant again, which brought a whole new level of "whoa, I am not a super human" syndrome into my life.

Baby girl number two will be arriving sometime in the next 6 weeks (please be sooner!), and it finally came to me what needs to happen with this blog!

I need help!
In the form of contributors.
I know, lots of blogs are doing it these days, but really? I think contributors would be an awesome way to keep Oops! I Craft My Pants alive, while allowing me to still post when my heart desires.

I'll be honest, this is totally not going to be a paid gig or anything (I'm poor!...Plus, this blog is more about making connections and friends--Not much of a moola bringer-inner.)...But, I can promise you that you'll meet some fun people and gain some extra exposure for your own blog (if you have one!)

Right now, I'm thinking I want contributors for the following:
-Recipes
-Kid Crafts
-Sewing
and
-30 Minute (or less) Crafts

BUT! If you have another idea, please please please pitch it to me! Do you have awesome date ideas? Let me know! Party ideas? Send 'em my way! Is your garden amazing and you think you have great tips? We could use your knowledge!
Really, any (clean) topic is game, just email me.

I know this is super short notice, but I would like to have my contributors start next month (if possible), so please email me as soon as possible. Be sure to include a little bit about yourself, your strengths, and a blog link if you have one (if you don't, that's totally okay!...Still email me, if you're interested.)

I'm so excited to hear from you!

Thanks so much for reading, you guys!

minted.com New Year Cards

I'm a procrastinator when it comes to Holiday cards.
I always have the best intentions of sending out Christmas cards to my loved ones...But then? December hits and I realize I haven't even found a photographer yet. Not to mention, I'm not really in the mood to design my own cards these days.
Ah...Such is life, I guess.

Luckily, I ran across these adorable New Year Photo Cards from minted.com and umm...Fell in love!
Sending out New Year cards rather than Christmas cards just seems like such a good idea to me. It gives me a good extra week to find time to send out my cards, plus? The designs are cuter than anything I have ever seen on a pre-made site before. They all have such a unique feel, which is just what I want when it comes to cards.

Here are a few of my favorites!







Phew, that was hard to narrow down.
But seriously, if you are in need of Holiday cards, New Year Cards, or just cards in general--Check out minted.com.

I was compensated for this review (in form of cards), but all opinions in this post are mine alone!
