Hey blog readers! This is my 1000th post!
A big thank you goes out to all of you for being such loyal readers. I hope I’ve brought you some inspiration or just something pretty to look at in the two years I’ve had this blog. I’m so excited about this milestone and I want to thank you for being my readers so I’ve decided to do a couple giveaways to celebrate.
I'm really excited to offer this first giveaway, it's my very first mug rug!
What in the world is a mug rug you ask? It's a mini quilt or even a mini placemat that is just the right size for your cuppa morning joe, and maybe a scone. How cute is it?!? I find it hard to believe that you could have this little cutey sitting by your desk and not smile when you see it. In fact I might venture a guess that it could actually cheer you up if you were having a bad day!
It was so much fun to make! It's very special too, because it has vintage fabrics in it that were in my grandmothers stash.
To enter this giveaway please leave a comment on this post telling me about something that makes you smile. To enter a second time, please link this post to your facebook page. After you've done so, come back and leave a second comment. Leaving a comment is easy, if you have trouble please send me an email and I will do my best to help. The giveaway will close a week from today, Wednesday the 22nd of September. Oh, and please be sure to either leave an email in your comment if I have no other way to get hold of you if you win.
One more thing I want to give you today before I head off to accomplish a few things... Some of you may remember when I made my paper wall flowers. I was inspired by these plastic wall flowers that click into magnetic pins attached to the wall. At the time my wall was ugly apartment white and I didn't want white flowers so I made my own! Plus it was super cheap to do. If you can trace and use scissors you can definitely do this!
If you want to try making them yourself, I'm sharing the templates I created! You should be able to click on the images below and print the 8 1/2x11 sheets yourself. I traced them onto cardboard then used them to trace onto the colored sheets of paper. Once you have them cut out you can use a pen or pencil to curl the edges up a bit.
Check back for a couple more giveaways happening later this week in honor of 1000 posts!
