You're Hot and You're Cold . . .

Hey, hey!  I'm back with a Farm Fresh Challenge card!  Well, this week, the challenge is "You're Hot and You're Cold"! Yep, it's that Katy Perry song.  If you're not ready to end summer, then create a "HOT" card/project . . . if you are done with summer and can't wait to cozy up for the winter season, then make a "COLD" card/project.

Well, I went with a HOT & COLD card.  You be the judge.

I used the newly released Miss Anya Bags set and went with a winter theme.  Miss Anya with pigtails is wearing a luv-ly sweater for the cold weather.  She's also very stylish and is a hip chic carrying a zebra printed bag.  Isn't she HOT, HOT, HOT?  See told ya . . . winter theme . . . HOT chic?  :)

Here's a close up of Miss Anya Bags.

The FFF challenges runs until Thursday, entries are due by 12 PM CST.  The winner with the DT's fave project will receive a free single TGF stamp of choice! Please upload your challenge cards to TGF Galleria> Farm Fresh Challenges 2011> Farm Fresh Fridays 2011> Hot & Cold.  Come join in on the fun!  :)  Have a great weekend!

Have I really . . .

{Sorry for the absence . . . when I said I needed a rest and break over the long Labor Day weekend, I meant it.  No blogging so I hope I didn't miss anything.}   :)

. . . been blogging for 2 years?  Yep, I think so!  I set up my blog around August of 2009 and did my first posting in September.  Well, well, I suppose I should do a giveaway then.  I will be doing 4 giveaways for my 2nd Blogaversary . . . one per week.  Craft stuff is filling my bin that I've gathered over time.  Sometimes I find great deals and sometimes I just buy duplicates for the "just-in-case".  Can't hoard it all so this is my way to give back and say THANK YOU to those that follow my blog and to those that I've built a wonderful friendship with through blogging.

I don't have any strict rules for this CANDY giveaway.  All you have to do is comment and answer the question:

What was your most favorite Halloween costume that you wore during childhood (or adulthood if you still dress up)?

Comment here by Tuesday, September 16th and I will pick a winner using Random.org.  PLEASE, PLEASE . . . do not link my giveaway on your blog or post about it.  This is for those sweet people that come by here . . . you've given me nothing but luv and encouragement over these past 2 years!

By The Numbers . . . A "21st" Birthday!

Phew, I made it to Friday!!!  It was sure a busy week for me, but let me tell ya, I had a blast posting everyday!  Haven't done that in ages!  This week over at the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog, we're doing things "By the Numbers". Meaning? All you have to do is use a number on your project! Paper, stamp, embellishment, doesn't matter.  Easy, peasy right? 

Here's what I came up with.  I made a treat bag for a special friend who is turning "21" soon.  Ok, not really 21, but she's 21 at {HEART}!  Found the tutorial {HERE} . . . it's super easy and makes for a fast gift wrapping.  This treat bag measures 4 1/2 x 10 inches.  Yes, it's GIGANTIC!  It's the perfect size for what I have inside too.

Here's a closer look at Birthday Anya 2.

That's it for me today.  I think I need a must deserved break from blogging this weekend . . . will be back soon though.  I'm feeling a bit generous and I'm in a celebrating kind of mood.  So, if you have a sweet tooth, I'll be back with some CANDY!!!  :)
