Time is almost up & an award!!

2010-06-01T19:36:00.000-07:00

Just a friendly reminder that I need all orders for Craft Night in by this THURSDAY, JUNE 3RD for our upcoming Crafty Goodness on June 10th!!

As usual life has be crazy busy! Last month Lyndsey, from Lyndsey's Craft Spot, gave me this award for this blog. I am super flattered...Thank You! Lyndsey is super talented, and always seems to be coming up with super cute things to decorate her house. I even was lucky enough to be the recepient of one of her giveaways on her blog. You can imagine how excited I was when this came to my mailbox (I stole this pic from her blog because I am lazy and didn't want to take a picture myself...but rest assured they have been making me smile all spring long!).

Check out her blog, and be inspired!

Anyhoo, here are the rules of this little award...

1. Accept and thank the person who sent it to you.

2. List 10 things about yourself.

3. List 5 additional things you don't like.

4. Pass the award on to 10 other bloggers.

Ten Things about Me

1. I have been married for 10 years!

2. I have 3 kids, but hope to add another in the next year or so.

3. I am not really that creative...but I like to copy other peoples ideas

4. All of the crafts on this blog are not from my brain...I owe all its greatness to Cami!!

5. I love to party...or I guess I just love getting together with lots of people...It makes me happy!

6. I have lived in the same state my entire life...my heart belongs to ARIZONA!

7. I am a flight attendant for a major airline, but have not actually worked in over a year.

8. I hate being cold (also another reason why I love AZ)

9. I play the violin for an awesome organization!!

10. I wish that I could go to school for cosmotology, interior design, & culinary. (that way I could blend my boys hair better, my house would look awesome, and dinners would be delicious!)

Five Additional Things I don't Like

1. Apple Juice...plain apples, applesauce, apple pie, apple anything...except JUICE

2. Fish...nuff said!

3. I am a procrastinator...it causes lots of stress...but at the same time that is when I get my best work done...underpressure. I do hope to someday overcome it.

4. I don't like my toes, but I guess no one does.

5. People that get offended easily. I am seriously one of the most laid back persons I know, and just don't understand why people let themselves get all ruffled up about little things!

Bloggers who deserve this Award

From Hand's to Home (Cami is really the one who originally deserves this award...the majority of the crafts on this blog are hers. Anna & I just host the event because we wanted an excuse to get together with our friends. This blog would not exist with out Cami's help!)

I know I am supposed to name 10, but most of the ones that I would give this award to have already received it. There are so many different blogs that I read, and love so if you haven't got this award yet consider it yours!

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget to keep scrolling, and get your order in by THURSDAY, JUNE 3RD!!!

June Crafty Goodness!!!

2010-05-11T06:59:00.007-07:00

Come join us

THURSDAY, JUNE 10TH

6 pm til Whenever!

Crystal's House

I thought I would try something fun for the potluck theme:

The Last Meal

This unique potluck theme lets you choose any item to bring… as long as it begins with the first letter of your last name. Sarah Smith can bring spaghetti, Barbara Brown can bring buffalo wings, Mary Martin can bring mud pie and so on….and so on.

Make sense???

I also wanted to thank Cami again with From Hands to Home. She is the amazing woman behind all of these projects. Crafty Goodness would not be what it is with out her!

In order to make things a little easier on everyone we decided to use Google Checkout exclusively. We also were able to make it possible to have no additional cost to use it (the price is the same even if you were to have paid with check or cash - NO TAX OR SHIPPING)! If you have any questions just email me. Hopefully this won't cause any problems. If for some reason you are not able to pay with a credit/debit card please contact me! Thanks so much! Can't wait to see everyone again!!

We also have had many requests for FINISHED projects! If you would like something we offer, but don't want to do it yourself....we can do it for you! We charge $5.00 extra for each FINISHED project. Just pick that option when you order it!

Edited to add: ALL ORDERS NEED TO BE PLACED BY THURSDAY, JUNE 3RD.

Another DATE CHANGE!

2010-05-04T16:01:00.000-07:00

So life for me has been pretty crazy. Our family ended tagging along on a business trip with my husband in London for 10 days, and then I was home for only 2 days before heading off on a girls trip to Utah. Between all of this I have had no time to get ready for the upcoming craft night that I had planned to have on May 14th.

I have decided to push it back again to THURSDAY, June 10th! I am sorry that I changed it again, but there is just too much going on this month. I figured this would work out great, and since there is no school, a Thursday would be okay!

Check back here in the next few days...I will post all the crafts that we will be offering! I am super excited, and hope you will be too!!

Success, Food, and Date Change!

2010-04-05T12:55:00.002-07:00

We had so much fun at March Crafty Goodness! Thanks to everyone for coming out, and having a great time! I love seeing everyone's finished crafts...it amazes me at how each one turns out so differently!

The Soup and Salad potluck was also a hit. We had many requests for Gina's recipe for her Pasta salad. You are in luck! She actually has her own recipe blog! Here is the recipe for "My Big Fat Greek Salad" You should also check out her many other recipes...she is one good cook! Be sure leave her some comment 'love' when you try out any of her recipes! One of my favorites is her "Chicken & Pinto Tostadas"

Also, just a heads up! I had to change May's Crafty Goodness to MAY 14TH! I am in an orchestra for EVMCO, and they changed the concert to May 21st...tickets for that go on sale on April 12th! We are playing at Gammage this time! Woohoo!

Anyhow, hopefully the date change will work for most!

I am working on getting different projects compiled...if you have any ideas, send them my way!

Come for some pampering & adorable flowers!

2010-03-25T15:31:00.000-07:00

There is something for everyone!

So even if you didn't order anything...

Come for a great Girl's Night Out!

We will have Sydney (not my daughter :o) painting toenails!

She charges between $8-$14 depending on the design you choose.

Here are some samples of some of her 'creations'

And Sherry will have an assortment of different flower clips available for purchase.

This one is one of my favorites.

So then you can leave with pretty piggies, and great hair accessories!

See you soon!

Don't Forget!!

2010-03-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

Don't forget to bring your favorite Soup or Salad for the potluck!

Also

If you have an electric sander BRING IT! There is alot of wood, and I only have one electric sander. I will have sandpaper if you want to do it by hand, but it will be much quicker with an electric one

If you ordered the Vinyl for the "Mom" plate...don't forget to BRING YOUR OWN PLATE (OR TILE). It needs to be a 9 or 10 inch plate.

If you ordered the "Mother, I love you!" Block...we WILL be providing paint in the color shown (sage green) in the picture. If you want it a different color or would like to mod podge scrapbook paper on it...then you will need to bring that. We will have Mod Poge for you to use.

Can't wait to see you!

Want a different color?

2010-03-22T23:05:00.000-07:00

This totally last minute, but I wanted to give you the option!

An awesome crafter named Lyndsey happened upon our craft blog, and made her own version of the spring blocks.

Instead of using the blue vinyl on her 'Spring' side....she used a lavender color.

I totally loved it...so I asked Cami if I could have my 'spring' side cut in lavender.

She said that she could!

So if you would like either your 'Spring' or 'Easter' side in this lavendar color instead please let me know by WEDNESDAY.

The font & design will be the same as the ones on our blog, but just in this color.

Here is the picture of Lindsey's blocks so you can see the lavender. Isn't she so talented!??

If I don't hear from you I will assume that you want the original color.

New Design for Mom Plate

2010-03-17T22:50:00.002-07:00

I know that this is late notice...

Cami came up with a different design for the Mom Plate Vinyl.

Before

After

I think it is totally cute!

If you ordered it, and would like the new design,

Please let me know ASAP! (crissybug at gmail dot com)

The color options are still the same

Beige "mom"/Brown

Black "Mom"/White

If you didn't order it...you still have until Friday, March 19th!

New Way to Pay!!!

2010-03-12T16:30:00.006-07:00

So my husband being the tech man that he is....set us up with a Google checkout!

Now you can put in an order with a CREDIT CARD right HERE!!

The only catch is that we have to add $1 processing fee for each item.

When you go to check out it will be listed as a shipping charge.

So if you buy 5 items it will be additional $5.00.

Please remember that we will still accept cash or check if you prefer to pay us that way. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem...we just wanted to offer an easier way to get your order into us!

We also are EXTENDING the date for your orders until FRIDAY, MARCH 19TH...but from now on if you plan on writing a check make sure it is payable to me since Anna will be out of town until Craft night.

Unfortunately you will no longer be able to order the Swarvosky Necklace or Scrabble Tile necklaces since they need to order their products online, and give time for shipping. Everything thing that can still be ordered is listed below!

******Edited to add: I have talked with Merri & you can STILL order the Scrabble Tile Necklaces after all!! Yay!!*****

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Last Call!

2010-03-11T15:01:00.003-07:00

The time is drawing near,

And we need your orders!

Please get them to us ASAP!

I also wanted take the time to tell Cami at From Hands To Home

THANK YOU!

As much as I would like to take credit for many of these project ideas...

they are not from my brain.

She has come with so many cute things that help make Crafty Goodness

so much fun!

You can look at some of her other stuff on her blog.

And although Shelley at Simply Words is not contributing any projects this time...

She has also been a big part in making Crafty Goodness what it is in the past!

And I can't help but thank all the other ladies

Merri

For providing their talents and doing demos of the different crafts we have had in the past & coming up. This really would not be possible without everyone elses help...because really I got nothin! Haha

And of course Anna for helping me organize these crazy events!

So I just felt like I made some acceptance speech for some award that I never received, but I just wanted to make sure that all these people know how much I appreciate their efforts!

Order Form

2010-03-09T19:48:00.001-07:00

I have made an order form to help keep track of what everyone wants.
