Crafting Over Sweeting Challenge.
Sweets eaten: None.
I must confess though that I ate a couple of chewy granola bars and feel completely guilty about it. I wouldn’t technically classify them as “sweets”, but they were sugary enough that just eating them got me craving some bigger desserts. Needless to say I will be avoiding them now, just to be safe :).
Sweets craved: This. So yummy lookin!
Today I’m going to be doing my featured craft section a little differently.
When I started this challenge I knew I wanted to do a small giveaway at the halfway point,
and a bigger giveaway when I finished
(you know, just to show you awesome readers some appreciation :D).
This weekend was the halfway point. YAY!
I almost didn’t realize it, but when I did I started working on my small little something for the first giveaway.
Here’s a little something you need to know about me. I LOVE making stuff for girls. Clips, bows, quilts… you name it! There’s only one problem,
I am a mother of two beautiful BOYS.
I love them very much, but the fact is they don’t like to wear bows.
So with that in mind here is the Halfway There Giveaway:
and here’s a close up:
These are black felt rosettes similar to the flowers made for this wreath.
They’re made with glitter felt, which adds a touch of sparkle.
So? You want them? I know you do!
Here’s what you have to do:
1- Leave a comment telling me about the crafts you
like to do for Halloween.
2- That’s it!
I’ll be keeping this contest open through the weekend and announce the winner Monday morning. Remember to make sure I have a way to contact you, whether through your profile or the comment. Good Luck and as always…
Happy Crafting!

Decorating Pumpkins is a craft I love to do every year, and your cupcake paper painting on the pumpkins was awesome!
But, I think this year I have my eyes on making a Halloween garland like you made!

I know exactly what you mean. I make bows and am in the exact same boat =) It seems as though I like to make pumpkins for halloween. Fabric, wood, or paper. I have made them all lol

I didn’t even know glitter felt existed 🙂 As for Halloween, I’m not really brave enough to make my kids’ costumes, but I like to make accessories to jazz up their costumes a little (a matching trick or treat bag, jewelry, etc.)

The only crafty thing I do for Halloween is carve pumpkins…maybe in the next few years I will get more into crafting when I am not so busy with Steve’s school and my work plus little kids. I would like to start making halloween outfits.

I love pumpkins, and candles all around the house make Halloween more mystical for me.

We love to make our costumes every year, and making all sorts of candy and cookies! A couple of years ago we made candy corn! 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Scarlette likes to decorate for holidays, so for Halloween we make paper ghosts, bats and pumpkins and put them all over the house.

First I just want to say how inspiring you and your blog have been. I love what you are doing and it makes me want to do more crafts. For Halloween I love carving pumpkins with the kids and decorating the outside of the house for the trick or treaters.
