Welcome to the 2000 Followers Event Draw #4!
Thanks for helping me celebrate what I consider a major landmark. That there are at least 2000 of you that think this little blog is worthy of a visit THRILLS me! Watch the blogroll over the next few days. You'll see lots of festive happenings around here.
Games! Food! Presents! We have it all!
So let's start this party already!!
~ Games ~
What's YOUR project?
Today we are celebrating the fact that today's giveaway sponsor 'invented' the giveaway. :)
I can actually name quite a few blogs that are 'famous' for a given project of theirs.
One of my own examples would be what I call my wooden crate stairs. :)
Creating something new and 'uniquely yours' is scary ground to cover! But look at the rewards when you achieve it!
Now before you throw up your arms and exclaim, "I don't rate in this category! I've never invented anything!", I want to point out that I think that's wrong. There HAS been something you've created that has been uniquely you. Perhaps it wasn't a world first, but that doesn't matter. You did something special to your project to make it 'yours' that was different from everyone else's.
What did YOU make that you consider to be 'your own creation?'
Please include this comment in the same post as your giveaway choice option below. If you have a link of your project, feel free to include it with your comment as well. We'd love to see it. :)
~ Food ~
I love flowers, I love marshmallows and I love cupcakes. Put them together and you get...
Oh my... These beautiful cupcakes don't even look like cupcakes! The link below even includes a video on how to do this. Aren't they beautiful? By Hoosier Homemade from SNS #29.
~ Presents ~
We have a new invention in our midst today. :)
Todays' giveaway sponsor, Missy from The Little Green Bean has been busy INVENTING her own purse design.
Meet 'Pockets and Posies'. :) Can you scream ADORABLE?!? Check out those two pockets on the outside, scooped like a pair of jeans! So cool and useful!
The purse is adorned with a flower pin that can be removed. There is also a magnetic snap to keep the purse closed making it a breeze to get into. Totally unique, bright and cheerful, and pockets galore, I rate this design a big winner! The value of this sweet purse is $35.00.
Missy has a choice for the gal that prefers rustic over florals. She is big on recycling and loves to use coffee bean bags for many of her creations so... hmmm... could this be one of them??? You'll find out soon. :)
Missy is one of the most creative gals I know of. I've followed her for a very long time and she's always whipping up something brand new. Her ETSY STORE is brimming full of brand new and innovative creations all the time. So even if you don't win this round, I guarantee you'll find an awesome replacement in the store.
You will also enjoy Missy's blog. She likes to show you her newest creations when they come hot off the press. Her blog also displays her fun sense of decorating. She's a junk to jewel kinda gal like me, so I really get her style. :)
Missy has a 1 click post waiting for you so you can run on over and choose your own personal purse or tote choice!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway, Missy!

ReplyDeleteHere is my original project:
http://honeyandmaplesyrup.blogspot.com/2010/01/super-easy-coat-rack.html
I've never seen anyone else do this, although I'm sure someone out there has done something similiar, but I can honestly say I didn't see it and copy it...although I did get inspiration from Cost Plus =)
I follow Funky Junk and now Little Green Bean. Not because of the giveaway though - I really like her stuff! =)
ReplyDeleteI follow Funky Junk!
ReplyDeleteI follow Little Green Bean too! She has great taste! I adored her bag the second it hit her blog!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to a scarf I did that's a modification of a pattern I liked. It was the first time I went off-pattern! :)

ReplyDeleteLove the camera bags! My unique invention would probably be the two patterns I sell in my Etsy store (RedDoorHome.etsy.com) - the sassy stool topper and the peek-a-boo tote bag.
ReplyDeleteI would probably choose the posies bag. Just so cute! She has a lot of great bags in her shop!

I follow both. I love the purse.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, would be very hard to choose. I picked up a dresser that was missing drawers, instead of using baskets we cut it down, now I do it all the time. You can see it here: http://christinassignsofobsession.blogspot.com/2009/10/un-deux-trois-sweet-dresser-redo.html
ReplyDeleteThe PURSE is amazing! I love everything Missy does! Something 'I' created was a new way to display a tassel, taking it into places it didn't fit previously! http://chickncharge.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-way-to-display-your-tassel.html
ReplyDeleteI've been following you for a while now! You never cease to amaze me!

ReplyDeleteThat pockets and posies bag is too cute! It has summer written all over it!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I turned a long hallway table into an entertainment center. It was such a fun (and exhausting project!) We sanded it down, sealed the wood, painted it a nice satin black, closed off the sides and the back of the table, built a shelve, drilled a hole in the back for all the cords and wa la! Our very own unique entertainment center! I love it!
