Want to Show off Your Blog

Well why not have a contest and give away a few magnets or pins with your Blogs logo on them. Like this company for instance:

Here is their company Logo and then here it is on a glass tile magnet or pin. This one is a magnet.

Here is another one. I just chose one that was on my blog. This is Graces blog button .

If you are interested in having some cool give aways just contact me at patt_m@comcast.net and we can talk about it.

sock blocker keychain

Yesterday I ordered 2 sock key chain kits. I plan to keep one for myself and use the other one for a contest prize on my blog!

I also ordered more materials to make more square tile pendants. I have ribbon necklaces in 5 different colors and I've just ordered more ball chain necklaces for them as well.

I hope that you guys will go to my Etsy store and check it out every day. Who knows when you might find just the right thing for you? And you can also request custom items from there as well. Want to mention that I'm secretpal friendly. I can send straight to your pal for you.

I can put any photo that you send me on a pendant. Want one of your tabby? I can do that. Want one of your kids? I can do that too. Want a 1 inch photo magnet? Yep, I can do that for ya.- I got lots of skillz and am willing to share them with you.

Hey I can even hang a sheep from a ribbon necklace for you. Look.....

Sweet!!

New Award from Vanessa

I received this wonderful Rene Award from Vanessa-The Ohio Crafty Bug-.

Here is what her blog says about it.

The Renee Award. This Award was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee, an incredible lady who in the face of a frightening life battle is tackling each day with great spirit and courage. Please check out the blogs of these three creative ladies.

Here is what Bella says of this award:"this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds it's way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

Thank you Vanessa I appreciate it so much. I hope I can live up to it and give some acorns myself, to others.

Easter

So did everyone have a good Easter? I didn't. It' sucked. This is the first ever Easter that I didn't get to see my gkids hunt for eggs and have fun. Rue has been so sick here lately that she didn't feel like going up to Napa to Tina's so they stayed at home and so did I. Rue's kids, did come over for a few minutes and then later to show me what the easter bunny left for them. ANd Tina and her kids called me this morning to say hey but it stilll wasn't the same thing.

Guess things are changing and I better get used to them huh?

Another Grandson Boo boo

I just have to show you all this. Cole was running behind Pa the other day and when Pa curved around the granite kitchen table Cole didn't. Crunch!!

Look at the big ol knot on that head. Poor kid had a headache for 2 days. This kid is the cutest kid ever but he is a total daredevil. He jumps and climbs and runs and gets into everything. A total bundle of energy and I think he is wearing my girl to a frazzle.

LOve ya Tina, you to Dade and Mia Bella.

Here's my girl Mia Bella. Isn't she beautiful? Yep she is.
