First off: I MADE the top 20 in the Made by Heidi crafty competition! AND, the only way I can move on is if you vote for my project and I make the top 5. I’d LOVE to make the top 5! I am not allowed to tell you which one is mine (Even though you’ll probably guess which one is my creation). But, please vote for which creation you think is the best. PLEASE head on over and vote! You can vote everyday… So, I may get a little annoying. 😀 You vote for the project in the right sidebar.

I have also received some awards. I want to get to them tomorrow… I’ve been so busy I just haven’t blogged about them yet. But, I plan to tomorrow! 🙂

I am also VERY behind on visiting all my new followers blogs and replying to comments. I LOVE to check out and visit AND show some love to any readers. I’m sure most of you know: It’s hard with a little babe to get anything done. 🙂 But, I’m working slowly on catching up on my reads. There is just SO many lovely bloggers out there!

So, usually I like to have Ruari draw the names for me… but there were so many entries and she’s busy talking to her toes… so: I used the Random List Generator! Here’s who came up #1:

Christy from The Adventures of a Blondie Mommie!

Woo hoo! Congrats Christy! Please e-mail me and I will let you know what to do.

Lovely Faith at Simplicity is having a little contest. She’d like to have her blog revamped, but doesn’t really have the time. She put out a contest for button designs. Ta da:

First, I wanted to keep it simple. I also wanted to use one of her floral photographs (since it is a photography blog). Some of my favorite photos from her are of flowers. This photo was especially sweet. I also made sure that any font or designs used I had a commercial license for. Eventually she would pay the winner, so I wouldn’t want to mess with any copyright issues. 🙂

I thought of possibly doing a border, and I had the font going another direction in a different design. This is the one that I ultimately decided on. Happy weekend everyone!

I entered a little crafting contest last week, and now you can vote for me (well, if you like my creation). Click here, and vote for the The Paper Mama-Washi Tape (or whatever else you’d like to vote for) We had to create something using tape. I used Washi Tape to create an amazing beautiful crown! 😉 If you REALLY want to see the other entries, they are here. And, here’s my original entry.
