giveaway...

so i found a killer sale at archivers today. i rarely go there, not sure why, but i went today and found so many things on sale! i got a cute changio monkey set and i already have one of the stamps. so i want to give the wood mounted one away to a good home (it is slightly used, but great condition!) so please post here and i'll draw a random name on monday, july 13th.

update: and the lucky winner from my trusty random number picker (aka my husband!) is joan aka lakeslady!!

woot woot!! send me your address please!!

'shrooms...

ahh...i love being back in the crafty mode again. i was out of it for way too long!! here's a set of atcs i made yesterday for the mushroom swap that traci is hosting. i was stumped for a while about what to do, then found this paper yesterday at michael's and it just came to me. i'm proud that i used buttons, too. i almost never do and these were sitting on my table and they went so well with the paper! so viola!

palooza memories...

what's better than a sale..

not much! especially when it's a hero arts sale! i love so many hero arts stamps and a lot of places locally don't have them. so i must buy online (i mean, twist my arm!). so i just thought i'd do my little part to help the economy by spreading the word! the link sends you to the blog, but from there, you can find the sale! happy looking!
