I wanted to share some blogs that I have been frequenting lately. All 3 have been having some great giveaways...mostly from moms who have etsy stores! And even if you don't win anything, you get to see some really fun stuff!
These first 2 have great kid crafts and activities when they aren't doing the fun giveaways!
MakeandTakes
Kiddio
This one does the most giveaways!
30Days
CocoaDaisy, a scrapbook kit club here in Oregon is doing a sort of food drive. The cool thing is, you can donate the food to wherever you want! For every 5 cans, you get your name in a drawing for some great prizes (there are over 50 prizes!). Just take a picture of you donating the food, put your picture in their gallery and let them know how many cans of food you donated. The food drive goes from now until December 20...plenty of time! Here is the blog post with all her information and list of prizes!

One Down, One to Go!
Saturday was my first bazaar of the year! It was a little slow but I still did pretty well. It is always fun to see what others make and see what of mine sells! The things I thought would go well...didn't. And the one thing I wasn't sure of...sold really well! Here are a few pictures of my table!
See anything you just can't live without? I am at another bazaar in NE Portland this Saturday. Leave a comment, and I will be sure to get you the address. Can't make it or live out of town? After Saturday, I am putting all my stock into an etsy store. For those of you not familiar with etsy, it is like a year-round, national bazaar! All hand-made and vintage items. There is nothing in my store right now, because I am taking it to the bazaar, but next week you can see the items at: www.pensneedles.etsy.com Thanks for taking a peek!

She's 2!!!
Erin turned two over the weekend! We had a little family party. We went with butterflies this time...because I found cute butterfly cupcakes to make on Martha Stewart!
Oh the joy of a 2 year old! This wasn't even a toy...it was a sleeping bag! (Princess of course!)
Here are the butterfly cupcakes! Oh so fun to make!
Such concentration on blowing out the candles! It took A LOT of tries!

XC...almost over!
I missed my every other day post this weekend but it wasn't my fault! =) Tadd has been on the computer editing his movie for the xc awards banquet tonight! We (Isaac and I) drove down to Eugene for the state meet! Somehow the rain stopped and it was a gorgeous day! Tadd's boys were ranked 12th but got 8th! That was there goal from the beginning of the season! WooHoo Raiders! So tonight is officially the last day of xc stuff...the awards banquet! I am just excited that I get to wear my red heels! (see here!)
This is some more bazaar stuff. These are Christmas gift tags. I think I will sell them in packs of 10 for $3-4. I have a ton (I think 25 sets!) but I'll just show you my favorites!
