This past weekend was completely craftily insane... I had a LOT of project deadlines!
What to do...?
As RonChops and I were having breakfast (with several potential project elements on the table... there were unfinished boxes, spools, flowers and ribbon nestled amongst the bacon and eggs...) I was discussing various ideas with him (he'll never admit it, but he helps out me ALL the time with ideas). As he was slathering yummy orange marmalade on his biscuits I was seriously fretting over what I would do for my post today.. suddenly he brilliantly proclaimed... "you should just have a giveaway!"... so here we have it folks... by RonChops decree... it's giveaway day!
I am gonna give away 1 mega box of all sorts of craft supplies (I haven't even packed it up yet but I'll take a pic and share it with you guys next Monday)! I promise it's gonna be loaded with fun crafty things (like knock your socks off fun crafty things)! RonChops has authorized me to take the box to 10 pounds... gulp.
How to enter...
All you have to do to enter the giveaway is say hello (teal HUGS are always welcome too)! I'll pick the winner next Sunday evening and announce who the lucky cur is in my post Monday!
P.S. If any of you are looking for a really really good potato soup recipe... go check this one out HERE. RonChops and I make this ALL the time (this past weekend we ate it three times in a row... it's that good)! Enjoy!
P.S.S.T. Up above is a sampling of some of the 25 birds nests with eggs that I made for a class I'll be teaching at CHA... that's all I can reveal for now, but I'll be sharing more soon!
O.M.T. Note to the winner: If you see any fingernail marks on your newly acquired box-o-craft supplies... that will be from RonChops wrenching them from my hot glue grip (he's super duper excited about this giveaway... I think he's going to be the one to haul the box to the post office for me... I mean craft supplies leaving the house is a time to celebrate as far as he's concerned... the only thing he doesn't know is that my 13 pound box of Crate Paper should be here by Tuesday... MUHAHAHAHAHA). shhh... don't tell him ok!?!?!?!
I know I've been an absentee friend lately. Life has gotten the better of me and I'm SO ready to get back to my normal routine...drooling over LollyCrafts!! Anyhoo, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to add to my collection of craft supplies AND to say hello!! I hope all is well!! Love you my dear friend!! Talk to you soon!!

Hello - I got rid of all my crafty supplies a decade ago and got into digital scrapbooking, etc. instead. Now I am ready to get back into some hands-on crafting. Your blog is inspiring me to give it a whirl. Now I am going to check out that recipe you mentioned above!

Lolly, is this a ploy by Ron Chops to get you to purge the craft supplies?! Well teal hugs to you for going along with it all! I would love to win, but won't be able to check my email until the 2nd week in Feb. If I do win and don't respond, please tell Ron it will have to sit in the craft room another week. cjdempsey9 at msn dot com

Very cute!! I love when springtime nears...I love all of the bird decor that comes out...will have to to pick up some more of the fat and happy ceramic birds from Michale's again this year! My three year old loves them in her room and I noticed one yesterday that has a crown; so you know he's pretty important!
Thanks for sharing the soup recipe; will have to make some here; sounds really good!
