I am in the process of 'fall' cleaning. My scrap area is driving me CRAZY and is simply overflowing with product on shelves, in drawers and on the floor - I hate it! I can't see half of the good stuff and it just looks so junky (remember, this is actually my 'dining' room so I can't quite shut the door and hide any mess or disorganization)! I figure, I'm in this area several hours a day and I feel the most productive when things are organized and neatly kept. We made a family trip to Rona today (kids were slightly less than thrilled) and I purchased a few sheets of pegboard and a HEAP of hooks with which I can hang all my wonderful supplies.
Anyhow..... (holy ramble!) the main reason for this post was to announce my HUGE, Gigantic, Wonderful, glorious, monthly giveaway!! I want to Celebrate! Celebrate the start of a new month, celebrate the start of school, celebrate the fact that my little ones seem to be over the worst part of their illnesses and of course, I want to celebrate my 1000 followers mark!
I've decided that because I have so much I want to celebrate, that there would need to be more than one giveaway this month wouldn't you agree??
How does THREE sound?!
I will post the second Giveaway on September 11th! Good luck!!!
Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Tara and I am a wife and mother to 3 beautiful children who are the heart and soul of my projects. I started scrapping in 2008 and loved it immediately. What a wonderful outlet to explore my love of crafting and photography. Thanks for stopping by.
