It was so much fun to read about the things that you ladies love. It definitely reminded me of how full and blessed our lives are. You ladies rock!

Without further ado, our giveaway winner is …

Heather Innusa who said,

“I love my husband, 2 babies (1 & 4 and a half).
I looooove being crafty!! I love scrapbooking & making mini books and gifts/invitations for friends & family.
I love God, Jesus and my Church. I love my bible study group (5 couples like us) – just learning to follow the Lord.
I also think I love scrapbook ‘blog surfing’… I may actually have a problem at this point!! I love life, even though it’s so unpredictable and trying sometimes.”

We also have another winner. When we read all the comments ant went through all the mails you ladies sent us, we saw a bit of a theme. Sophia Allison did an amazing job getting people to our site. Sophia, you’re awesome. We appreciate your blog and getting lots of people to ours. As a thanks you, we’re going to send you some goodies as well.

Heather and Shopia, can both you ladies send me an email with your address so we can ship all this crafty goodness to you?

Have a wonderful Monday. Check back tomorrow for our Design Team announcement!

I love … crafting with my daughter. Last week, when I was suppose to be doing something else. Ya know what I mean. Something grown-up like work, clean, or make dinner … my daughter wanted to craft. She can craft all day and all night if I let her. She loves all things crafty. So I said the heck with grown-up responsibilities, I was going to enjoy my child. This is what Shelby and I made. A princess flag banner as she calls it. She now has a princess bed (at least that’s what she told me!). The flags were made from patterned paper. We used ribbon to sting the flags. And we accented each end with fabric flowers. The flowers are just layered fabric flowers (cut some out with your Cricuit), sewed together and completed with a button in the middle. I had planned on using these two flowers to make Shelby some hair clips, but she had other ideas!

I love … this smile. Need I say more? My Cooper is 10-months-old now and is a doll. He wakes up with a smile. Goes to bed with a smile. And never stops smiling all day long. I love this little angel and am so blessed to be his mama.

I love  … to give stuff away. I honor of Valentine’s Day we want to give you some goodies. We have 7 Gypsies Binderie tool, along with a Crazy Daisy Scrapbooking bag and other crafty goodies. Tell us something you love. Anything. We want to hear all about ALL the things you love.

We have a few different ways to enter. Leave a comment here on the blog.

Follow us on Twitter.

You can become our Facebook fan.

Or if you tell a friend to come to our site and they enter to win … email me and I’ll give you an additionaly entry into the giveaway. We’ll announce the winners on Monday, February 15th.

Have a GREAT Monday!

My children visiting Santa

It’s a little crazy at my house. Crazy good, but still crazy.

I have been up to my eye balls in work and have traveled to Canada more times than I’d like (not that I don’t like Canada, it’s just that I’d rather be a home!).

But through all the craziness, we’ve been getting ready for Christmas.

I wrapped more presents today. My daughter and I made the most adorable card for her teacher. Even with her directing most of the process, she’s five, it turned out super cute.

I made some ornaments that feature pictures of my kiddos. I’ve been meaning to make these snowflake picture ornaments for years, but just got around to it. Now I want to make tons of them. They were easy to make and are just adorable.

Last night I addressed what seemed like a million Christmas cards and I’m happy to say they’ve all be mailed and are on their way to points across the globe. I’m notorious for mailing my Christmas cards after Christmas, so I’m quite proud of myself.

At the end of this week we head to Atlanta. I have a company Christmas party to attend and we’re going to squeeze in a quick visit with some family and a tour of the Biltmorein Asheville, NC.

Then it’s home for the final dash … cookies to bake, presents to wrap, gifts to finish making (I’m making a lot of things this year and they’re all in various stages of completion!).

There are still a few December Main Kits available, so make sure you order yours now. If you head on over to Stacy Julian’s blog you can enter for a chance to win our December Main Kit. She will be closing her contest today, so get on over there … fast.

Don’t forget we won’t be having a January 2010 Kit, we’re taking a much needed break and will be headed to CHA to shop for future kits! So, do as much shoppng now, while we are still open for biz.

We’re looking for more Facebook fans and Twitter followers. If you click on one o those buttons on our page and become our fan or follower, we’ll give you $5 off your next order. Tell a friend and we’ll give you another $5 off. Just mention Facebook or Twitter in the comments of your order and I’ll refund you $5.

Hope you’re having a wonderful December; stay warm; and stop to enjoy the season!

My baby, Cooper, is eating baby food these days. I’ve been buying the organic baby food and on the label of every jar it says “Please recycle.” So, I feel super bad every time I toss one of these jars. I know, silly …  but I do!

So, is there some sort of fun craft I could do with these? I’ll be feeding him food from a jar for at least another four or five months, so it would be fun to come up with a creative way to reuse the jars. Maybe I could turn them into a gift of some sort or even a toy for Shelby (my five-year-old) or something I can use to entertain Coop.

Any ideas? If you can’t think of one, then ask a friend. Please leave a comment and help me! In fact, how about I offer up a prize. I’ll randomly select a winner from the comments and send them one of our cool new grab bags. So tell a friend. I’ll pick a winner Monday night (Oct. 26).

Now, since it wouldn’t be fair to dangle a free gift in front of you without showing a you a little something, here’s a peak at the September Main Kit!

A sneak peek at the September Main Kit from Crazy Daisy

All you have to do is place an order for at least a three-month subscription before the stroke of midnight on July 31st and we’ll throw in a very special surprise gift. It will be awesome. You’ll love it. Trust me. Jennifer and I love to shop and we especially love to shop for scrappin’ supplies … so our shelves are overflowing with great giveaway goodies!

If you’re already one of our awesome customers … do not despair, you too can get something free. Just email us and extend your current subscription for at least three more months and you too will get a special prize.

We’ll send you your goodies when we ship your August kit … Speaking of the August kit. Have you checked out our little sneak peek of the main kit? Here’s some of the Jenni Bowlin paper that’s part of the August main kit. The colors you see here are the predominant colors of the kit. Aren’t they just so yummy?
