Winner! Pick Your Plum Giveaway

***UPDATE: Our winner is #27 Steph! Send us an email ASAP so your prize can get sent off to you! 

Thanks everyone who entered!

 

Mmmm. It’s nice and crisp outside, a teensy bit of chill to the air, coziness now mandatory. And with all that coziness I’m rather jonesing for some craftiness. I’d love a suprpise bundle of inspiration from Pick Your Plum to get me started. A mystery package of supplies and doo-dads for some swanky projects sent right to my door. But guess what? Pick Your Plum wants to give away some crafty love to one of our readers! A “Plum” (package) of creative inspiration and goodies worth $100. Every “Plum” is a surprise, each one is a little different from the next, but each promises to include all the fixins for a handful of great seasonal projects.

For example (not promising this is what’s coming to you, but you get the idea):

 And my favorite of the bunch is….well, who could choose? Go ahead and enter the giveaway and see what comes your way! Entries accepted until Midnight, Friday, October 19th. Mountain Time.  Please, please  remember to include a link to your contact info so we can contact … >> find out more…

lost art of calligraphy.

My grandmother used to harp on me about “kids handwriting today….” on a regular basis. But she kind of had a point. She had a beautiful script, whereas mine is a hodge podge combination of capital letters and lowercase, half cursive, half print. It’s a lost art, is it not? I’ve thought many times about enrolling in a calligraphy class, it’s just so beautiful, and it seems like it might be a bit relaxing. An art class of sorts, don’t you think?

Baby Announcement

This Saturday Mike and I woke up and, for the first time in what seems like forever, didn’t have anything scheduled for the day. So after some discussion of our options, we decided that it was probably a great time to do a birth announcement for Little O. We brainstormed a bit and decided that we’d like to do something like the opening scene of Juno where there is a mixture of photograph and illustration. A few hours later, we had this as our final product. (Well, not the final product, but it’s ready for printing.)


I love having an artistic husband who I can collaborate with on projects like this. Mike did the photography. I did the illustration of Little O’s surroundings. Mike colored in the lion and the walls. I wrote in Little O’s stats. We basically just kept switching seats at the computer until it was done.

It’s nice to have something to show for our Saturday. Of course, it’s always nice to have a vacuumed house and a clean kitchen, which are some of the more boring but traditional weekend activities around here. But this little project was something spontaneous but tangible that we can keep … >> find out more…
