Today's giveaway is being sponsored by Gingercake!

Gingercake offers simple and cute PDF patterns
designed for moms and kids. They are cute and fresh
and can transform everyday items like lunch bags,
totes, and notebooks into something special. And,

completed projects for sale!

Gingercake is giving three winners a set of four patterns
each and you get to choose which patterns you want!

Winter Holiday Giveaway Week:FLY Children's Art Center!

Today's giveaway is sponsored by FLY Children's Art
Center and three winners will each receive
a set of three craft kits!

Each of these art kits is like a choose-your-own-
adventure project. The supplies included are a
springboard for a self directed project: ROLL makes a
marble chute, GROWL makes an imaginary animal, and
SWAY makes a mobile. FLY Children's Art Center is a
mobile nonprofit children's art center. We offer open
studio classes to kids in public schools at no charge to the
students and in the community for a very small fee. The
kits we sell are a mobile version of our classes and the
profits from the sale of the kits helps support
our programming.

You can visit the FLY Children's Art Center on Etsy
and see each of these kits in action. I think these kits
would be great to give as gifts to little friends or even
used as party favors, a win-win for everyone!

If you would like to enter this giveaway then visit
FLY Children's Art Center and leave a comment

Only one entry per person per giveaway. Comments will close at

Autumn Leaf Birds

Our days of having fun with fall leaves 
are over since we now have 6" of snow
and there's more to come but if you are still
lucky enough to have leaves available you
should give these elegant leaf birds a try.
See more examples at Qlturka.
