  Cosmetics Shopping Spree

Something we tend to put on the back burner is cosmetics. Its so easy to pull your hair in a ponytail and head out the door when life gets busy. This would be a great way to put something special back into your days..

  Scrapbooking Shopping Spree

I know with all three of my kids in High school we have really been paying attention to getting lots of photos lately. Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve those memories. My oldest is a senior and he actually has to create a Memoir book as a project for English. I love the idea- you have to collect 5 tangible items every 9 weeks, compile funny things that are said or quotes from books etc. Scrapbooking is a great way to look back on the memories.

Poinsettia Pot Holder Giveaway

I am hosting another simple giveaway. This one is for Poinsettia Pot Holder's.

My Potholders are larger than normal, roughly 8 inches finished. They have two layers of Warm and Natural Batting as well as a layer of Insulbright, this is a batting that has a metallic inside it so that it helps with reflecting the heat.I stipple these potholders, which is quilting randomly around the entire fabric so they are nice and tight and will hold together for a very long time.

You CANNOT put them in the microwave but they can be washed just like normal potholders and are a great size for those big tasks. I often use them on my table to put a hot pan on.

This Giveaway will end at 800 followers on Facebook. You must enter here to be considered a participant. Thank you so much for entering. Have a great day!

Don't forget about a towel/potholder combo giveaway hosted by Freebie Corner

Quilted Wallhanging Giveaway

This is the exact Wallhanging/Serving Mat you will get in the mail. It is made especially for the winner of my 500 Followers on Facebook

It has this wonderful fabric I found a few years ago at Hobby Lobby with the pledge of Alligance on it. I feel strongly about the idea that we should keep GOD in the Pledge, so thus it is in this quilt.

It has some really pretty red/white fabrics to represent the stripes in our American Flag

It has this beautiful flannel backing. I stitched it with a leaf embroidery stitch and it has a pretty bright red with white leaf cotton binding to top things off.

This pretty star fabric reminds me of the Star Spangled Banner- I think of the line of bursting in air- and fireworks

Tackle it Tuesday

I have been promoting my facebook page for my quilting business and my blog
In order to drum up some more followers I have given some items away. My first giveaway was for this set of towels and potholders. She has an apple themed kitchen so I found this really cute fabric. I am hoping she loves it.

This is a giveaway on my quilting page on facebook for someone who promoted my page and had her sent followers comment that She had directed them my way. I made these cute holiday towels for her.
The winner of the actual giveaway for 300 followers that night will get a custom made pillowcase in Penguin fabric with her daughter's name on it. I am still waiting for that fabric to arrive. So stay tuned. 

Don't forget to promote my pages I am giving away a quilted wall hanging when my facebook page hits 500 and a pinwheel quilt when my Blog followers reach 53 in honor of my mother's age when she passed away July 2010.

The Frustrating Life of Computers

Sometimes I am so frustrated by computers. I just recently requested that my Blog be made over.

 I wanted tabs and a blog button with a code etc. I am so excited that Becoming a Strong Woman for God led me to Traci at Ordinary Inspirations she also has a facebook page

So what do you think?

I think she did an incredible job. I really love it. 

I could not figure out the tabs/pages on the Blogs.

I wanted a code button and I could not seem to figure that out either.

I wanted a header that was more about me, what I stand for, why I blog.

The frustrating part- she has this cute little quilted looking border with the maple leaves on the side- I can't see it on my computer. I was able to see it last night on my son's. I have tried everything. I reinstalled FireFox. I cleared my caches and cookies. NADA. It just shows up white across the entire screen. I am a tad upset that I can't see the beauty of my Blog in its entirety. I hope to figure out what setting is blocking that. Other blogs I visit have their cute little borders, so that tells me it is not my settings overriding it.

Another frustrating aspect today. I wanted to have my Blog posted on facebook. I have been working on it this morning. I have yet to get my graphic the size that Facebook requires. I can't seem to directly import without using Network Bloggers either, but I know many of you do. I feel like nowadays with all the HTML codes, RSS feed etc you need a class to get anything done. 

So to show you the kind of morning I have had. I just noticed that my PJ bottoms have been on backwards since I took the kids to school today. LOL!!! 

I guess they are just one of those pair of pants. Maybe on that note its time to shower, make enchiladas for dinner and work on my new Quilt Sampler.

Facebook Hopping Wednesday

I found a great way to boost your facebook page followers on Chubby Cheeks Thinks
