BLOG CANDY WINNERS!

I SWEAR there was no favoritism/nepotism that took place in selecting the winners of tonight's blog candy!

Drum roll plz......winner is hadesigns!! Congrats, Holly! Grant chose your name.

Now, there was a 2nd winner - favorite name for the teeth envelopes goes to: Tooth Treasure, submitted by Cami! Grant also chose this name - Beck's wouldn't choose, says that she can't read so she didn't want to choose (btw, he didn't know who submitted the names). Congrats ladies!

And thanks to Heather and Lila for playing along! I will pack up the goodies tonight and mail tomorrow!

Stay tuned tomorrow for sneak peek of Make-your-own Purse kits!

What a weekend! Plus Blog Candy details!!


School is out!!! Which means both kids are home with me - all day! We're here for a week then off to Florida for a couple of weeks to visit my parents.

This is a picture of the boys during the sleepover. Yes, that is a tent INSIDE the house. Great way to contain the sleepover mess and keeps them in one spot. LOL!!! Despite their wanting to stay up all night, they all fell asleep around midnight. It was the most tame sleepover I've ever experienced.

Making things for Dizzy Broad is slooooow going. Especially this weekend with the sleepover, Super Soaker playdate, and oh, Father's day! Here's a photo of some of my card candy packed up and ready to go to a new home:







Also, new card design for anniversary - soon to be posted in the shop - it is, afterall, wedding season!



Here's the fun present my son gave to his teacher. Made some stationery using some free fonts and also some "teeth envelopes".






Now, for the BLOG CANDY details!!!! These sad little "teeth envelopes" will have to go through re-design as I'm not very happy with the way they turned out. These are great teacher gifts though - especially for lower grade teachers where their students are starting to lose those precious baby teeth. Isn't this a great way for the teacher to send that lost tooth home? It is a small envelope with a die cut tooth on the front and hand-stamped with "date" on it. My son's teacher got a dozen of them and packaged up in the cute little red handmade box you see in the group photo above. The only thing missing is a clever name for them. This is where the blog candy contest comes in.....How do you enter to win? Leave a comment on this WEDNESDAY's post (a picture of the blog candy will be up then) suggesting a clever name for the sad little "teeth envelopes" and your comment will be entered in a random drawing to win this week's blog candy.



Anyway, hope you enjoyed these photos! Tomorrow, I will post the pictures of the really cute Tie/shirt magnet bookmarks books. Good night!
