Don't forget I have another giveaway in progress. It's not as big and magnificent as my previous giveaway, but I still think it's a nice little bundle of things. Check it out here to enter! Good luck!

Technically this is my post for the day for Blogtoberfest, which is lame. But I promise that I'm SUPER BUSY. I'm at work all day today, and as soon as I get home from work I need to leave again to go to my friend's baby shower to give her this...
...hamper full of baby goodies!! I should have taken a photo of it before I put on the cellophane.. the contents are super cute and I've taken a liking to doing up baby hamper's all funky and fun. I'll try and remember to photograph the next one before I wrap it up.
As usual all of you fellow bloggers are inspiring me. Here are a few things I saw just this morning that I either want to do, or dreamed I had the skills to do.
1. Cara from Me? A Mom? made this AWESOME name badge for herself. I want one. And I don't even have anywhere to wear it.
2. Adele from Adelisa Designs made this awesome card at one of her Card Classes last weekend. I want to learn how to do the ribbon like that. I often do the rippled ribbon but it's all perfect and neat.. I think I like this messy look better.
3. The amazing Kate from Foxs Lane made this vintage dress with a sewn-in apron. It is to DIE FOR! But I can't sew those kind of clothes yet. Practise practise practise. I'm starting small.
4. Kirsty from kootoyoo just won this handmade vintage granny square ring. I want one and I want to learn how to make my own rings. I have huge fingers and have never in my entire life found a decorative/dress ring that has fit a finger other then my pinky. Stupid fat fingers!!
I also might do a plug for a friend of mine. Her name is Ami and she is pretty much amazing. Please check out her blog and her madeit store (just search for Chirp under User/Store name). Here's some of the cool stuff she's made: (Oh and she has a giveaway on her blog ATM too)
Vintage button earrings ( I want these too )
I told you she was clever. Check it out!
I promise a more productive post for tomorrow filled with
Until tomorrow!!
