We packed up a March 2010 Kit.

Shipped it somewhere exotic.

And it has landed in the lap of a real world scrapper.

Where in the world is Crazy Daisy?

Starting with our March 2010 Main Kit we’ll be playing a little game we like to call, “Where in the world is Crazy Daisy?” We have found scrappers around the globe and we’ll be sending our kits to them. As we wait to see what they create with it, we’ll give you hints about where they are from. Try to guess. If you guess right, you’ll be entered to win a prize. Once the scrapper and their locale is revealed, he or she will tell us a little bit about what crafting is like in their part of the world, what inspires them and of course show us what they created with our kits!

How fun is this? If you love to craft and would like to get one of our kits (for free!) and play along with us, send me an email. We still have a few spots left for 2010.

Now … time for some hints as to where the March 2010 Kit landed.

• Almost 43 million people live here
• Those who live here are serious about soccer
• The colors of this country’s flag are red, green, white, blue, yellow … with a little black to boot.
• There was a movie, which got Oscar buzz and a few nominations, that featured this country 

Any ideas where in the world Crazy Daisy might be? Tell us where you think our March Kit is … and even if you don’t get it right, we’ll pick a winner next Friday (March 26) . The winner will get a cool bunch of goodies, including a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, MME papers and a Crazy Daisy Scrapbooking tote.    

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!

Brianna T., who submitted the following idea:

“I saw this the other day online. A baby jar pincushion. http://www.craftpudding.com/2009/03/tutorial-baby-food-jar-pincushion.html   … Super Cute!”

Thank you for the fun and cute Idea Brianna T. And thank you for coming to our site and joining the Crazy Daisy chatter! We’re happy to have you.

Please send me an email with your mailing address so we can send you a grab bag. Also, tell us which grab bag you want (girly pink, girly purple, earth tones or critters).

I have quite a few baby food jars sitting on my counter, now cleaned out  and waiting to be used in a very crafty way. I even saved a very large pickle jar today to use for some crafty goodness.

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!
