Give away!!! NOW CLOSED

This give away is closed!


Ok I got it finished!! I have a nice little give away gift for one lucky person that follows my blog =)
My blog birthday (one year anniversary) is Nov. 4th. When I started this I just wanted to record my craft projects. I never knew how blogging worked and saw you could follow others and put comments on and everything! I totally go addicted! I follow over 150 blogs.. Lost count after that...
I never intended to have people follow me but its nice to see people interested in what I make!! and jabber on about......
I thought I would give away a nice present for one person and I wish I could make one for everyone that follows! I probably will get a tutorial up for those that would want one?? For this!!
 I made a 2012 planner cover with planner included. I used the Little Apple's fabric line for the whole thing.
 I added pockets on the inside flaps, I wanted to get the trees up farther so you could see the little squirrels and turtles but didn't work out after I put the pockets on , my bad.
 I made a bookmark because those are always handy to have!!
 The planner I purchased at the Dollar Store, it just has the main stuff, weekly pages, and monthly pages, with a notes page. Also has address sections and information pages like conversion charts on the back.

I was going to put a pen pocket on the outside..and forgot.. I got all excited about the bookmark !!! But you can put one inside one of the pockets or it will fit tight on the velcro  closure tab when closed.
This is a standard little planner so any will do to trade them out if wanted or for new one the next years..
So here we go,, of course you have to be a follower! Because I made this for you!!
You can follow me by email or RSS or Google or whatever else there is to follow from, just let me know how you follow .  Thank you!
Just one comment please and if you comment anonymously please add a name for goodness sakes!! And email ! But of course if I know ya then that won't be hard to track ya down..
I will also throw a pen or pencil of your liking into the pot. I have many to choose from!! I will let the winner know what types I have.

This will stay open through  Monday Oct 31st. and announce winner the 3rd of Nov. =)
Its open to anyone , international as well. And new followers!

Ok,, another Zoey sighting!!

 We did the Spiderman tattoo bandages. If you notice on my arm, she was practicing real inking.
Thank you everyone for reading my blog!!

Well hello there...

It seems like I get away from this page longer and longer from each post. I don't intend to...
I love posting pictures on here, I love reading all your nice comments, I love making new friends!! And I do love seeing my blogger follower list grow!!! I don't beg for followers but thinking that some people out there in this big world is interested in my blog post's and want to read about it and see what I sew,, well that makes me very very happy!!! Thank's to all of you that follow through blogger reader and email!!! And welcome my newest followers!! 
It's funny because I'm a shy person and if I put in a room with all of you I wouldn't know what to say!!! But I'm sure someone would break the ice and then I wouldn't shut up.. true words..

I also noticed in my blogger draft page, I past up my 100th post and have seen  people post a celebration for their 100, 200,etc posts. Mine sneekied  up on me and I thought.. oh well.. but then I saw my very first post was on November 4 of last year. Well then I think I will celebrate that because let me tell you why.. skip ahead if you don't care!! haha
I have a habit of starting things and get bored fast. If I read a book and it doesn't keep my interest for two chapters, its gone. If I watch a movie and 15 minutes into it I'm wanting to go to another room and do laundry.. not for me... If my husband talks to me while I am reading a good book or watching a good movie I do like, I try my best to stay interested in what he is saying.. well, you get the picture here.... But my blogging surprised me. I took to it slow. I followed others first before I decided to make my own page. I think one month I had one post!! 
I saw a ad where you can make your blog into a book.. that would be something neat to do later down on the golden years road... 

Ok enough jabbering.. Since my one year blog birthday is coming up I'm going to do some sort of give away.. I got a idea and I hope it will make ya all happy!!! NO don't worry no more bags!! haha I still have some left though!!!
Will announce something on this later on in the month....

Ok I have been sewing.. derrrrrrr
These...
I found this Little Kiddie Pouch here. I think they are so cute.. They have a pleat in the bottom and let me tell you they are LITTLE.. but perfect for little hands. I also put a key ring on them instead of the strap it called for.. I got a thing for key rings. I think they need to be on anything I make!! 
I used the Little Apples print I bought from Julie here. I love that line. I sure didn't want to cut it up either!! The Marvel Comics print I had left over from some backpacks I made awhile back.(bought at Joann's) 





 I made two more notebook covers, but you only see one right? I showed them to Liz my daughter in law to be.. and she snatched one up already, so fast I didn't have time to get a snapshot of it!!!














I have used this owl print a lot in my projects huh??? 
Liz took 3 of my fat wallets I had made up and sold two of them in one night for me!! AND got me 3 more orders!!! So after a post I'm doing tomorrow afternoonish... (you don't want to miss this one!!) I probably will be hiding in my sewing room all weekend.. come to think of it that's not a bad thing for me!! 

I did make me a new purse and forgot to take pictures.. I'll save that for a slow day...
One last thing.. my sweet friend Sasha had a little misunderstanding with her bicycle last week, it ended up her breaking her elbow.. eeks. Wanted to shout out to her that I miss her emails!! lol Go over and give her some cheer up words!!!
