Congrats! Email me so that I can get this sent your way.

I am so sorry to those of you who's comments got lost somewhere in the great unknown. Just like with things I make, the next giveaway will be better and go smoother.

Thanks to those of you who participated.

Bon Appetit Giveaway

I have a strict rule that I usually give away the first of something I make. (that is if it's logical and reasonable) Why? Because after you've completed a project don't you always say, "If I were to do it again I'd do this or that differently." Well, my OCD takes over and I can't stand looking at my mistakes forever.

So, to celebrate having ALMOST 50 followers I am giving one of you the first felt pizza I've made. I made this pattern up on my own. You will get 4 slices of cheese pizza with sauce made from a secret family recipe :) Also included are removable pepperoni toppings. I promise that the only flaws are the ones my OCD brain creates. Like, I swear the cheese is crooked on one of these... The pepperonis are done by free motion stitching. They are not perfect circles, but this was intentional. I think they look more pepperoni-y that way. P.S. The props, aka The Pizza Cutter, is not included in the giveaway.

If you'd like a chance to win leave a comment before Friday, November 6, 2009. I will draw the winner at 10:00 pm MST. Good Luck!

You're gonna want to come back...

You'll want to check back later today. I will be posting my first giveaway! That is as soon as I get mycamera back from the ILs house. I left it there after all the chaos on Halloween.

I'm so excited!

And just so this post isn't so boring here's another scrapbook page I've been working on. I found the kit at HoneyDesigns

Playdough Cookies

I made these Halloween Playdough cookies and gave them as "Boos" to my neighbors. Yummy! Find the recipe here.

Magical Halloween

Ever wonder what the heck you are going to do with those graduation gowns hanging in your closet? Well I made mine and the hubs into wizard costumes for Halloween.

It was fairly easy. I bit time consuming, but easy. I cut out star and moon shapes from felt. On mine (purple) I sewed them randomly all over the gown. On the hubs (black) I sewed them down the front, right over top of the zipper. This makes it so the zipper no longer works. So check that the person can slip it over their head without unzipping it.

As for the hats, I cut out a basic cone shape using poster board and this tutorial. After forming them into a cone shape I rolled the cone along a piece of news paper, tracing it to make a pattern for the cover. I used fleece to cover the hats. At first I used cotton to cover the hubs, but the fabric laid wonky. The fleece stretches and fits nicely around the cone. I added a strip filled with polyfill to the bottom for a brim.

Magoo was a dragon, hence having wizard parents. Happy Halloween everyone!

P.S. I got the dragon costume at Old Navy. Unfortunately you just can't make a costume like that for $20
