And a PRIZE to boot! Read on for instructions.
I challenge you to create something beautiful this coming week. Something different than your usual craft,
or your known craft with a different twist.
For example: If you normally sew you can still sew, just not fabric. OR, use your fabric in creating something, not sewn.
If you scrap, you can use paper in your creation, but not a layout or a card, etc. If you crochet or knit use the yarn in a different way other than knitting or crocheting. Does that makes sense? It's really not that hard.
Some of you may ask what is beautiful and who is to judge? That's easy. It is what ever
you, the creator think is beautiful. And I will get the tough job of judging. ;)
Maybe you have an awesome collection of gizmos and gadgets, buttons and ribbons, rusted doohickeys, old magazines, old lace, old...anything. Maybe you have brand spanking new do-dads that you could throw together and just see what happens. It's about having fun. Once you've made your new beauty I want to hear all the details. What is was like being creative outside of the box. What you think of the finished creation. Anything you want to tell me about it!
It doesn't matter what you make.
If you're taking my challenge post here to let me know. When you've finished your beautiful piece post back here with a link to a picture of it. I'll pick my favorite item and that person will get to pick something from my
etsy shop valued up to $20.
You have until Sunday, March 8th to get your entry in. I will announce the winner on Monday, March 9th.
Obviously I can not enter my own challenge. But here is something to get your creative juices flowing...
It's made with a skeleton key that was given a crackle finish, sanded and inked a bit. I tied on a piece of a real clothing pattern, a strip of tea stained muslin fabric, and ribbon made of threads that I coiled. It's topped off with a crocheted flower and small sprig of pink pepperberries that I got from
Ryan. I love it and plan to hang it on my TV armoire by my bed.

There are coupons for .75/1 can of Sweet Sue White Chunk Chicken in the 1/18/09 Smart Source inserts, (coupon exp. 4/30/09).
The black Felt Fusion is a flower, butterfly, and dragonfly pattern. The green is a scrolling leafy design.
I got $95.13 in product for only $3.82 real cash. I "rolled" $21.96 in EBs and got back $23.99, so a little bit of a money maker, but my OOP was a little higher than I would like.
Here are some others she has made. Don't they look awesome!

Tonight was another good CVS trip. Everything fell in to place and I got everything on my list.
REPosting: Don't forget! The chance to win the pendant is good through Feb. 28th. You do not have to reply to this post but instead you need to FOLLOW my blog and post about the giveaway on YOUR blog to be fully entered. Doing one and not the other won't count. ;)
That handsome guy on the left is my hubby Chris. I just got a call from him telling me that he has been officially promoted to Head Supervisor. That means he is the supervisor of all the supervisors. LOL It also means a company vehicle, more time home, from hourly to salary with a dandy raise! (No more missed paychecks for his home time!)
And, It's not like you have any way of knowing it is going to be an ink-hog beforehand. Oh no! You don't find that out until you're half way through the printing process. Sneaky, sneaky, and downright mean if you ask me. I also happen to have one of those printers that, if I tell it to cancel mid way through a job it gives me nothing but trouble and will NOT print anything else until it finishes printing the previously cancelled job.
I got $98.87 worth of product for only .28, yes .28 CENTS!
