I was a frantic crafter this weekend (working my little baby bunny procrastinator fingers off on MomChops birthday present (her birthday was Saturday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMCHOPS!!!)).
I was not able to get her present done in time for her birthday dinner Sunday evening (but I did manage to bring her bits and pieces to peep at).
The present presentation went something like this... "Hey Mom... look what I almost made you... now give it back so I can finish it!" She is used to this kind of thing from me so she took it all in stride!!
The pic of the craft table is all I have to share of it since it's still a work in progress!
As I was prepping the pic I noticed something that got me a inquisitive personal email last week. The person asked if I was drinking a GIGANTIC glass of wine as I was crafting (a glass with reddish liquid has showed up several times in my craft table pics).
Let me assure you folks.. it's just cranberry juice mixed with water. I like to drink a ton of water and I find that I can get loads more in if I have a little juice with it. Cranberry is my juice of choice so that's all it is! Don't worry... I am not sitting there sipping on a 64 ounce trough of wine as I am punching butterflies and glittering cardboard! hehehe... honest!
Are ya ready to vote??
Sew... since there are no tutorials to share today I have something I need your help with! I am redesigning my blog right now and I want to see if you guys will help me pick out the bits and pieces as I get them ready! Think of it as an interactive redesign! I need you to chime in and help me pull this thing together!
The parts I am going to be re-doing are: image treatments, background and header (the header is going to be the hardest part because I am making it instead of just designing it on the computer).
Today I will be sharing a few image treatment options. Let's jump right in!!
Option 1 - Grungy Borders
This one is kinda grungy with a little butterfly thrown in.
I can change up the butterfly with other stuff whenever I want.
I kinda like that.
Option 2 - Swirly Border
Rounded corners with some swirls and a leaf.
I am thinking I can change out the leaf too (like the butterfly one from above).
Option 3 - Flower Corner
This one is just a regular flower corner with LC.com up on the top right side.
Option 4 - Circle Frame
I am not sure this one is gonna fly... but I sure do like the idea of having a page full of circle pictures!!!
I can change up the colors and make the circles in different sizes.
It's not out of the running completely - but I think it might be harder to pull off.
So there they are... are you more of a grunge kind of girl or are you all about the circles??
Can you pretty please leave me comment and let me know which one is your favorite!?! If you don't like any of them that's ok! Just tell me to get back to it and come up with something else or you'll never talk to me again (that would work... trust me)!
I'll share the winner from this voting bonanza AND the background image options AND a real tutorial AND a pic of MomChops finished birthday present next Monday... (it's totally going to be action packed next week)!!!
P.S. + O.M.T. = Big Thanks
To thank you for helping me out with the redesign I made up a download and print freebie of the "pie addict" badges. You can wear them when you attend your next Pie Eaters Anonymous (PEA) meeting (or you can give them to your friends who are in denial about their pie addiction).
If you send me a pic of yourself, your friends, your pets, or your craft projects wearing a badge - I'll post them!! Us pie addicts need to stick together!
P.S.S.T. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo's!
