RANDOM

This is my new ride. The blueberry beast. It's a gas hog. And it's loud. And BIG. And I LOVE driving it! My minivan (a.k.a. the "mommy missile") is in the shop. It needs a new transmission. Poo.

I totally forgot to include this photo in my last 'Cupcake Post'. My girls & I went to McDonald's for lunch last week & while I was happily ordering happy meals I had the girls find some seats for us. They yelled, "Mommy! Let's sit in these chairs that look like cupcakes!!"

Now that the One World One Heart giveaway has come to an end, I've announced my winner. If I don't hear from Carolyn of Carolyn's Creations & Paper Crafts by Sunday then I will pick a new winner! (I know there are many of you re-crossing your fingers right now.)

And not to brag or anything, but I won this & this & this & this & this card & this & this & this & this. Oh, & the first pic in this giveaway. All day yesterday & today I was doing crazy hyper sweepstakes-style jumping & squealing! I can't wait for my sweet packages & goodies to arrive!! I LOVE getting happy mail!

Guess who's almost at 500 sales?? Why me, silly! I'm SO excited! I'm hoping to get there by my 2 year Etsy Anniversary---which is technically Feb 28th, but last year I celebrated at the end of March 'cause that's when I first stocked the shop with handmade goodies. (500th sale gets extra goodies too!)

Look at this sweeeeet mushroom fabric I got yesterday while out on a mini thrifty run at my favorite antique spot. Such a happy little print!

I was up last night finishing the owlie Valentines for my daughter's Kindergarten class. She actually made them all. I just stuffed the lollipops in the wings. They turned out cute! She's very proud of them.

We even put together some hearty goodies for her teacher--using the shrinky dink keychain idea from Lost Button Studio...

...& this cute little wrapping job from Zakka Life. (All the Valentine projects found via The Crafty Crow.)

Hope you're gearing up for a lovely Valentine weekend!
