EarningMyCape

IMPORTANT NOTE

Hello, and welcome.
I would like to inform you that I AM MOVING.
...well, sort of. I have started a new blog, Oui Crochet, that focuses just on crochet, crochet patterns, and crochet resources. I am in the process of building it up as a one stop shop for all things crochet, and I am very excited about it. I hope you will come over and check out my progress. :)
I will be moving my patterns from this site, to my new site. My idea is to leave this site active, so that you can still access other aspects of this site. I will also leave a modified "introduction" post where each pattern is on this site, as to keep all links active and make it so that you can easily locate the pattern's new home. As an added bonus, you will also find new printable/downloadable versions of my patterns.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I assure you, this change is a positive one. I look forward to seeing you at Oui Crochet.
Happy Crocheting!

#ACraftersDream: Christmas Giveaway Oct.21st-Nov.4th!

   A Crafter's Dream Christmas Giveaway is here!!!!
 This giveaway is hosted by My Merry Messy Life, Tutus & Tea Parties, and Me, and has a Christmas, crafting, and supporting small business theme! Each blogger is offering her/his own giveaway worth $25 or more going on now through Sunday, November 4, 2012. 

  Christmas is coming soon, and the time to start crafting our gifts for friends and family is now! You will have the chance to win some awesome crafting supplies from some of the blogs in the giveaway group! 
Are you super busy (who isn't), or maybe you haven't gotten around to learning to crochet, sew, make jewelry, etc. yet, but you would still like to give someone a beautiful handmade gift? You are in luck!  Some of the blogs in our giveaway group will be highlighting such small businesses and offering giveaway items for them, as well. This is a great opportunity to support small businesses and shops who offer handmade items!  

For my part of the giveaway, I have chosen to go the small business route. I am all for supporting small businesses! Many small handmade businesses are owned and operated by moms. These moms work hard to raise their children and take such special care in crafting their handmade items. Let's show them some love this holiday season and keep them in mind when shopping for that perfect gift for your special someone!

If you haven't already, I'd love for you to meet my sponsors! You can meet Lori from Piper Pixies Tutus here, and Marie from Madwestdesigns, here. Each are giving away a gift certificate to their shop. One winner will receive both gift certificates!



   Now you can hop from blog to blog entering as many giveaways as you want!
