More Gift Exchange-iness

I am very excited to be able to tell you that you can see what EVERYONE received in the gift exchange.

How?

Well, skip (or click) on over to Craftaholics Anonymous.

Linda is the wonderful crafter/blogger who put together the whole exchange.

AND.... she has a linky party going on right now for everyone to be able to strut their craftiness!

I've already linked up to the party to show what I received (It's called Crochet Explosion).

I hope you can go and get inspired to create some new crafty greatness!

Gift Exchange Part 2

Yay! Crystal over at 

Crafty Mamacita

was my (hopefully very lucky) recipient of my handmade gift in the gift exchange over at

Craftaholics Anonymous

So...are you ready to see what I made? I'm really excited about it!

I picked out this wonderful, wonderful tutorial over at Make It and Love It to use

Anyone recognize this:

Courtesy of make it and love it

Well, here is my version that I sent to Ms. Crystal :)

 

Can you tell I'm pretty darn proud of it? I really really am!

Plus, I just heard from Crystal and she loves it!

*lovin' that wonderful warm feeling knowing that it was well received*

I will definitely sign up for another one when it comes along :)

*hugs*

Gift Exchange Part 1

I'm so very excited to be able to show you the gift that I received in the gift exchange from

Craftaholics Anonymous

I had a wonderful, wonderful person who was my Secret Santa! I have to say that she is a very crafty lady!

Check out her blog over at

Princess Crafts-A-Lot

She loves to crochet, just look at the fantastic gifts that I received :)

 Look at that b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l teal scarf!

 If only Lolly could see it :)

  Adorable plushies and bracelet!

 She even sent my little man a present! I believe that these wonderful Mater buttons will find their way into his busy book for Christmas!

She even sent more goodies tucked away in her box!

She did such a great job at spoiling me that I felt about this big for not doing the same for my recipient!

Plus, you gotta love a wonderful, talented woman who uses Vista Print! Yay!

As a teacher, it's one of my favorite places to make professional looking resources!

I'm still waiting to hear from my recipient if she had her present delivered or not. Once I hear (or on Friday, whichever comes first) I'll be posting what I made for her :)

*Hugs*

And we're off!

I am so, so excited!

To my mail-buddy: You're package is in the mail! You should be getting it middle of next week!

I really, really hope you like it :)

For all of my wonderful readers, middle to the end of next week I'll post the pictures of my wonderful project! 

But first, I'll give you another hint!

Hint #4- I made an item that you can wear (cheat from #3) that is also a tutorial from one of my favorite blogs:

Make It and Love It

*sigh*

I know that that still doesn't help does it.... (It'd be driving me batty at this point!)

There are so many possibilities!

Any who.....

I'm also working on designing a super cute "quite book" for my son.

I'm really looking forward to it. 

However, it may  be done as a Christmas present.. but I PROMISE not to make you wait till then to see it!

Sew...

step 1 is to design the pages and decide how I want them to look.

I'll show you what I have in mind in a couple of days!

Good night all!

P.S.- Any other teachers out there? I looked at my calendar and realized I only have just over 3 weeks left before I go back for pre-planning. I'm going to miss my family. I love, love, loooove staying at home with them!

Christmas in July

Did you know that it's Christmas?

Do you have your shopping done? Wrapped?

j/k!

However, over at Craftaholics Anonymous, Linda is hosting

Christmas in July!!!

How fun does that sound? I signed up for the local (as in U.S.A exchange). Are you interested?

Here is the link for the Local.

Here is the link for the International. 

I sure hope that ya'll join. I can't wait to see what great homemade treat I'll get from my exchange buddy.

I'm already planning what I want to send!
