{Giveaway} Forshee Designs ***ENDED***

February 27, 2012 By 103 Comments

         

 

Last summer my laptop had a little accident.  It involved a full can of Diet Dr. Pepper and unfortunately the soda can won!  This forced me to do my blogging work on the Mac Mini upstairs in my office space.  I felt shut away in there from the rest of the house let me tell you!  It made it really difficult to get work done.  After all I had a little Banjo to keep track of and contend with.  One of my fellow bloggers asked if I could get some work done while Banjo played.  Are you kidding?  He can’t be left anywhere in the house by himself.  Ha!  Only kidding.  He’s a good little boy and doesn’t do anything bad.  He just likes to “help” sometimes.  This “helping” includes answering the front door.  My office space is quite distant from the rest of the house and I would constantly worry that he was going to answer the door if I didn’t hear it.  So this of course led to my spending many late nights tucked away with the Mac Mini.  I missed my laptop dearly!  For months and months I saved my pennies to purchase a new one.  It took awhile, but I FINALLY had enough to justify getting a MacBook Pro!  Do I drink anything near it?  Nooooo!  Of course I’m very protective over it and knew that I needed a padded laptop sleeve to keep it/carry it in at all times.  Lucky me Forshee Designs allowed me to pick out a custom laptop sleeve:

 Isn’t it soooooo pretty?!

It’s Dandy Damask.  Don’t you just love the name?  :)

Forshee Designs has so many gorgeous fabrics to choose from.  For all the laptop sleeves, but also everything else that they design!  Like:

Aprons

iPad Sleeves

And…

Camera Strap Covers

 

 

Forshee Designs even has patterns for purchase as well as personalization.

I’ll gather that you found plenty that you absolutely need from Forshee Designs!  Well, start entering to win, because…

The winner of this giveaway is going to receive a $25 gift certificate to spend at Forshee Designs!

{Giveaway} My Grafico Arts & Crafts ***ENDED***

October 10, 2011 By 43 Comments

At my house you will find loads and loads of scrapbooking supplies.  There’s some in my craft room upstairs and then boxes of it in the basement.  It’s quite sad really.  There’s so many items that literally have never even been used.  I’m talking paper, stamps, die cuts… you name it and I have it.  I think my problem is I would buy these massive packaged of paper thinking that I would use it, but then really only needed it for a few specific sheets.  Then I went through this stamping phase where I started collecting all of these different stamps and ink.  I don’t even want to think how much I spent on it all!  And now where does it sit?  In a box.  I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have scrapbooking supplies right at your fingertips.  No more of this traveling out to the store and having to buy big packs of paper just to get the few select ones you need or all of those die cuts…You can even forget about throwing your money away!  How you might ask?  With My Grafico Arts & Crafts!  It’s THE place to get those supplies digitally and at major savings!  All you have to do is print from the comfort of your own home.  Here have a look at just a sampling of what’s available at My Grafico Arts & Crafts:

The Holidays Are Upon Us! (almost)

October 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Wow.  Can you believe that the second week of October is under a week away?  I cannot.  Have you decorated yet for Halloween?  I still haven’t done this.  The time just keeps ticking by and I’m already feeling soooo behind in my fall/winter holiday preparations.  There are just so many holidays coming up!  I have some ideas for decorating and planning for the upcoming holiday season that I’m hoping to accomplish.  Ready for the countdown???

#10:  First up… I haven’t went to an orchard yet to do some apple picking.  That’s a fave of mine in the fall, so I must be really dragging to keep me away from that!  (This pregnancy is making me soooooo incredibly tired!)  My dream is to learn how to make the bestest apple pie.  But maybe I should start out with something on a smaller scale like this:

I’m thinking that this would be fabulous to give to the ladies I visit teach.  :)

#9:  Must investigate the best place to get pumpkins and stock up on my fall decorating staple!  I love this pumpkin decorating idea:

 Just the right amount of bling!

 

#8:  I absolutely adore this use of pumpkins and I’m totally doing this for the month of November around here:

 Can’t you totally picture them as planters outdoors, but also centerpieces on the Thanksgiving Day table???  I can!

 

#7:  Speaking of Thanksgiving Day tables…

 

I really need to investigate how to perfect homemade stuffing.  Sorry Stovetop!

 

 #6:  Having a party?  Then the holiday party invitations are a necessity!

 

#5:  Another of my personal faves is the Christmas holiday decor that’s DIY: 

 

 

#4:  Don’t forget about DIY holiday favors:

 

And…

#3:  Ornaments:

The retro look is so in right now and these are eco friendly, since they are make from cardboard tubes!

And some pipe cleaners that you probably already have in your craft room.  :)

 

#2:  Oh and there’s always holiday thank you’s:

 

The top holiday planning that needs to be done sooner than later???  Drum roll please….

#1:  I really need to decide already on the holiday cards I will be sending out to family and friends.  Gotta get them ordered, addresses, and sent before December 1st!  Now here’s some really unique Christmas cards:

It’s a magnet that your recipients can hang on the refrigerator!  Now that’s my kind of way cute and dandy holiday card!  Be sure and check out all the dandy Storkie Christmas cards to find your favorite.

Good luck with all your holiday planning!  I best get started around here.  I’ve got A LOT to do!!!

{Giveaway} Fat Quarter Shop ***ENDED***

October 3, 2011 By 103 Comments

 

I have this thing for fabric.  The closet in my craft room is filled with shelves and shelves of it.  So many different patterns and colors.  Seriously yards and yards of it.  Much of it never even used for a project!  When I told the audiologist man that I wanted to make the bedding, curtains, and accessories for baby girl’s room he immediately said that I should be able to use fabric that I already have.  Of course that’s not possible.  Upon taking inventory of my fabric stash nothing jumped out at me and said, “This is perfect for baby girl’s room!”  So…  I’m on the hunt for the perfect fabric combinations for her room.  We have yet to paint her room, because I haven’t decided on the colors yet.  We do have until January, but  that’s going to be here before we know it, so I best get deciding! 

Lucky for me Fat Quarter Shop has so many different options when it comes to fabric!  Fat Quarter Shop also offers, excellent customer service, super fast shipping, exclusive quilting clubs/kits, and a large selection of fat quarter bundles!  I’ve been pouring over pages and pages on their website.  There’s so many options that I’m having difficulty with the decision making process!  I’m not particularly a fan of the color pink, so I’m trying to avoid that for baby girl’s room.  I guess my aversion developed from over exposure in my childhood.  :)    But the more I look at Fat Quarter Shop I’m becoming more used to the pink idea.  However, I would still like to try to have minimal use of the pink hues.  :)    Here are a few of my favorites:

   

                                                                  

 See what I mean about this being a very tough decision???  I really LOVE this one, but have no idea what other color to bring in to match with the yellow and gray.

 

 Suggestions???  :)

Don’t have a little girl room to decorate?  Not a problem, because Fat Quarter Shop also has tons of fabrics perfect for home decor, quilting, and a little boy’s room!

How cute is this quilt kit from Sew Emma?

 

And this fat quarter bundle is perfect for a little boy! 

 In fact Fat Quarter Shop is giving away that Robot Factory Fat Quarter Bundle!

A $38 value!

{Giveaway} Little Lizard King ***ENDED***

July 4, 2011 By 88 Comments

About a year ago my nana got me a new sewing machine.  While she was undergoing treatments for brain cancer I took care of her and she would watch me sew on my ancient machine.  It was a machine that I had acquired at the age of 8, so quite the outdated piece of equipment!  To show her gratitude for my taking care of her she wanted to get me a brand new, fabulous sewing machine.  I told her that she didn’t have to do that.  That I wanted to take care of her and needed nothing in return, but she insisted.  My nana is one of my favorite people, I love her so much, and she has always been my biggest fan.  I wish this story had a happy ending, but that’s not true.  Nana continued to decline due the harsh radiation treatments on her brain.  She now lives in a nursing home, because her quality of life has been so greatly altered.  I am glad that she’s still with us, but it’s also extremely difficult to see her suffering.  Despite the life changes every time I get my sewing machine out it brings a smile to my face thinking of her wonderful gift.  I’m not the greatest sewer in the world.  Far from it.  But I have a spectacular machine and as long as I have a pattern I’m pretty much good to go.  Speaking of patterns are you always on the lookout for unique and fun patterns to sew for your kiddos?  I know that I am!  That’s why Little Lizard King is one of my favorite online shops.  The woman behind the designs is allowing me to pick out some patterns for my very own and it hasn’t happened yet, because it’s soooooo very difficult to make a decision!  I mean have a look at what she has and you will now why it’s such a difficult decision!

For starters there are the cutest…

                                Skirt Patterns

With matching patterns for doll clothing!

 

Dress Patterns 

All of which are perfect for my making some cuteness for my little nieces!

And then how fun is this crayon roll pattern?

 

Little Lizard King also has an entire line of patterns for boys:

See what I mean?  Way tough decision!!!  Well, one of you is also going to have this tough kind of decision, because the winner is going to get to pick 2 patterns from Little Lizard King!

*** This giveaway is open to entries worldwide!***

And…

{Giveaway} The Ribbon Retreat ***ENDED***

June 27, 2011 By 56 Comments

Alright so I do have a craft/sewing room.  In fact I have an entire room in my home dedicated to this space.  Is it organized?  Probably not very well.  Ok it’s a disaster most of the time, but at least I know where everything is!  Kind of.  :)     As we start to need use of that room in our house (as a guest room) then we will be adding some space in the basement for my craft room.  That’s the plan anyway.  If you have any suggestions on how to finish a basement please let me know, because I need a craft room!  :)    Yep it’s a necessity that I cannot live without.  I’m always on the lookout for the perfect crafting items to add to my supply.  But who really has the time to shop for crafting supplies in an actual store?  Not me.  That makes The Ribbon Retreat is my new best friend!  Care to take a look at some of the items they carry that I’m also in need of more of?  Who am I kidding???  I’m always in need of more of everything!  :)

The Ribbon Retreat has materials perfect for making a ribbon bow…

Wired Ribbon:

 

And loads of other ribbon as well!

There’s also a huge variety of Ric Rac.  So many sizes and colors to choose from!

Can I just tell you that before the holidays last year I decided to make an advent calendar?  I hunted and hunted for the perfect Ric Rac and never found any that was perfect for my project.  How I wish that I had known about The Ribbon Retreat then!

Also at The Ribbon Retreat there’s more items that everyone is looking for…  like:

How about a way cute tutu?

 

 Or an adorable Newsboy Hat?

 

There’s even my personal favorite… FABRIC!

Here’s a few of the fabric selections from a collection titled ‘Just Dandy’:

I see a really dandy quilt in my future!  :)

Basically if you are looking for it then The Ribbon Retreat has it!  And what’s being given away this week from The Ribbon Retreat?  A $25 gift certificate that’s what!  Thanks The Ribbon Retreat for such a dandy giveaway!  :)

{Giveaway} Express The Moment ***ENDED***

May 30, 2011 By 41 Comments

I’m a closet scrapbooker.  Closet, because sadly that’s where the books I’ve done end up.  I’ve started and stopped scrapbooking lots over the years.  I always start with good intentions.  I go to the store and buy loads of paper when it’s 50% off or something.  You will now find stacks and stacks of it in my basement.  Then I get stickers.  Those might be in a box somewhere from the last move?  And don’t even get me started on the pens.  My handwriting is absolutely atrocious, so why did I think that I would even use all of those pens?  The computer printer is much more effective.  When it comes to scrapbooking I just don’t think that I have that creative edge.  I lack the eye for that sort of thing.  Sure I’ve got all the supplies, but putting them together to make a work of art?  Not so much.  I’m just not very good at that sort of thing.  Now if I had a kit…  Hmmm.  A kit.  Now there’s a dandy idea!  In fact… with a scrapbooking kit from say Express The Moment I would get that gorgeous work of art and I would get to avoid buying the stacks of paper, stickers, pens.  You name it.  So with Express The Moment I would actually save money!  :)    Who’s sold and I haven’t even begun to show the gorgeous works of art yet?  Now I know that many of you are shouting, “Me!  Me!  Me!”, but I’m still going to show you all this dandiness.  Okay are you ready?  Brace yourselves for the works of art!!!

I’m seriously in love with these Recipe Kits from Express The Moment:

These pages would majorly dress up your recipe book and make it the envy of all of your baking friends!

There are even kits perfect for card making!

You can get this look with the May 2011 Expressions Card Kit “Celebrate”.

 

My Banjo majorly hearts dinosaurs, so how cute is this Stomp Kit?

Yep I’m pretty sure that he needs it!
