Inspirational Thursdays

If you would like to be a guest blogger find out how here.



Today's inspiration is coming from Funkymom Cards. You may have seen Funkymom Cards before on Spotlight Fridays and I just had to highlight her again because I LOVE all the creations that Leasa comes up with! Check out her spring tags below:


Are these not the most adorable tags you've seen?! I love them because they just scream "Spring". The colors are bright and sunny and are perfect for this time of year (even though in the DC Metro area it's been in the 40s).

So...are you inspired?

Happy Hump Day all! I hope everyone is enjoying their Wednesdays and looking forward to the weekend!

I'm sending out a Call for Guest Bloggers. I'll be on vacation from April 10th - April 17th and I'm looking for 3 guest bloggers for April 12th, 13th, and 15th.

I'd love for it to be a new post of yours but I'm also fine with posting anything that may be a few months old on your blog. It can be something crafty, decor, organizational tips, or, thrift finds/redos; just as long as it fits in with the theme of ~The Life of Me~ it'll work!

If you are willing to guest post for me during my vacation, I will need your post by April 8th.

So if you are interested, PLEASE email me and let me know at sashasbooks@ymail.com. We will discuss details and then all you would have to do is email me your html code of your post.

Hoo Are You Tuesdays

NightOwlCrafting

I LOVE Hoo Are You Tuesdays. I think this is so much fun and the questions really make you think. So here are this week's questions:

1. What is your favorite magazine?
I'm kind of nerdy so I actually like reading Time magazine. I also enjoy Real Simple magazine.
 
2. What color are your eyes?
Sigh...my eyes are the darkest possible brown. There are virtually black. When I was in highschool I use to wear grey colored contacts because I wanted lighter eyes.
 
3. Do you go to the dentist on a regular 6 month schedule, or do you put it off?
I put it off as long as possible. I am NOT a fan of the dentist at all.
 
4. Do you use anything to make your house smell good? ex: candles, spray,etc...
Not really. I have those fabrezze plug ins and one of those things that spray automatically but that's about it.
 
5. Do you have any pets?
I sure do. I have two kittes, Arian and Toby. Both boys. They're my kids.

Cards of the Month - January/February

In January I signed up for the Cardmaker Kit-of-theMonth Club. I have come to realize that I'm much more of a card maker than scrapbooker. I do like making scrapbooks but I need that gratification that comes knowing that I've finished something and its so much easier to get that when you make cards. So every month, when I get my new kit, I'll show case it here for every one to see :) Here were some cards from the January kit. The theme was friendship:






And here are some cards from February's kit. The theme for February was birthdays which is actually perfect because my mom's birthday is tomorrow and she'll be getting the first card below. But ssshhhh...don't tell her.




I am so impressed with how all these cards turned out. What do you think?

Spotlight Fridays


Look who's in the Spotlight today! Everyone, say hi to Andrea of Feathers, Freesia, and Fishing Tackles.


As you can tell by her tag line, Feathers, Freesia, and Fishing Tackles is a blog with a little bit of everything. She has great photos throughout all of her post that are really inspiring for us crafty folks. She's also a quilter - which I hugely admire because I can't even sew a button on.

And speaking of quilting, Andrea has an Etsy store called TAPESTRI where she sells celebration quilts. I've never heard of celebration quilts before but they look awesome! Take a look at some of her quilts below.




You can read all about celebration quilts here and visit her Etsy store if your interested in purchasing your own.

So, as always, make sure you visit Andrea and tell her I said hi!

Hoo Are You Tuesdays

NightOwlCrafting

Ok, ok I know I'm a day late for Hoo Are You Tuesday, but I love these things so much that it doesn't really matter. So here are this week's questions:

1. What are a couple of your favorite green foods?

Hmmm...green foods. I don't really eat anything that's green (I know, I'm trying to get better). So I guess I'll say spinach - but not cooked - because that's what I use in my salad.
2. Do you decorate for St. Patrick's Day?
No - I'm not much of a decorator for any holiday except for Christams and Halloween.

3. Do you have Irish in you?
I've been told I do - but doesn't every one :)
4. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
I try to remember to wear green, but I'm not much of a drinker so I don't do anything special.
5.Use one word that represents each letter in the word LUCK in your life!
L - loving
U - unique
C - crafty
K - kind
