things to love and a giveaway



-Burke could always use more lounge pants.

-You are the icing on my cupcake... love it, all of it. Printed out the orange one for my hot hubbie, actually.

-Wow! Just wow! Who will win, do you think?

-Unexpected materials, fabulous results.

-And again.

-These will be making their way to a table near me. Soon.


Two more Things To Love? 
Our sponsors- I Sew Lucky and Benzie Bazaar. 

 

 
I can't tell you how much I wish I'd found I Sew Lucky before we threw our sisters' Owl Shower! April's shop is stocked with small owls, big owls, owl banners, mini party-favor-sized owls, even owl bookends. And they are too fabulous for words!

Be sure to check out ALL of the owl goodness at I Sew Lucky!


 And to make the Saturday sweetness even sweeter, we'd also like to introduce you Benzie Bazaar!

Whether you're looking for absolutely sumptuous sheets of wool blend felt for your latest projects (Looking for a project to start with? Maybe here, or here, or here), or a whole yard of wool blend felt for a larger undertaking (think laptop cover), Benzie's Fanfare of Felt is the one for you! Don't you love those colors?

Additionally, in celebration of her one year anniversary, Renae is also offering a 10% discount through Monday, so right now is a great time to order if you need wool felt!

Which brings us to today's giveaway!  
Want to see what you could win?
An Owl Bookend (the hedgehog edition) from I Sew Lucky
Or one of two $10 gift certificates from Benzie Bazaar

To enter, just leave a comment! 

*Three winners will be drawn. Make sure to leave an email address so we can contact you (if you don't, we'll draw another winner). US residents only, please. Giveaway closes Monday (2/21) at midnight.

Happy Saturday, friends!

    The felt is gorgeous and just what I've been looking for!! HOWEVER I PROMISED my husband I would not purchase any more crafting supplies for, well the time frame is undecided. Its more a situation of waiting until the addition is finished (and they haven't even been able to dig the foundation due to weather....) (and this purchasing ban was my idea NOT his! We have some pretty hefty financial goals... pay off a house/an addition and eliminate all credit card debt prior to son #1's graduation in 2012)

    If nothing else I now have a resource for purchasing wool blend felt!!! :)
