Made a unique hostess gift for a unique lady!

My Aunt Tami is a very dynamic woman.  She recently purchased a Mr. Rooter franchise.  She gave out toilet coffee mugs to celebrate her business.  I decorated one for her with high performance (outdoor) vinyl from Expressions Vinyl, filled it with chocolate and gave it back to her as a hostess gift for Easter dinner. Check it out.

Before, plain potty.

Crop Swag Bag Give Away!

Hosted my first crop at my home this past weekend!  Had a blast despite a few mishaps (including the power going out for an hour while I was baking chicken).  We had a great time and managed to eat, eat, eat; even with some dried out chicken (I was so embarrassed). 

So, I thought it would be fun to have another first....My first give away on my blog.  I will be giving away a swag bag like I gave out at my crop.  Your choice of Cricut green, purple or pink.  The mini tote will be tricked out with the little girl bug head (a fav of mine) and your name on one side and your choice of phrase from the Cricut Everyday cart on the other.  It will also include some color coordinated items and other swag.  Check it out!
