Sharing some awesome giveaways!

There are so many amazing giveaways going on right now, I just had to share them with you!

Sumo's Sweet Stuff is giving away a $60 to spend at CSN Stores Website.  They have some very nice items and a HUGE variety to chose from.  If I win, I think I'm going to get this "cool" (as my hubby would say) fishing toy for our son.  He's not quite old enough yet, but it won't be long.

A girl and a glue gun is giving away her OH SO AWESOME magnetic menu board.  I fell in love with this thing when I first saw it and said I would make one once we got moved.  Now I've got a chance to win one, and so do you!

Now, go enter for your chance to win! 

Late night rambling

I'm in desperate need of some crafty inspiration... actually I take that back.  I have a system going with my Google Reader and how I'm keeping track of some AWESOME crafty ideas.  My problem is I don't have a variety of crafty supplies or things I can alter... or time.  Yea, I need some of that too.

I haven't held my 2nd giveaway on this blog yet and I'm a bit disappointed with myself.  I originally started this blog thinking I would be promoting MY STORE more but I totally changed my focus to just crafting in general.  I have to say life has definitely thrown me some curve balls since starting this blog but I'm thankful that I've made a point to try and do a little bit of crafting each night.  And on nights that I couldn't craft anything I have been browsing all the craftiness that blogyland has to offer.  I have been thinking about gathering up some random crafty supplies and doing a mystery giveaway.  What do you think?

Without looking in my stash I could definitely come up with a long list of things that I would be willing to pack in a box to a lucky crafty person with hopes of seeing what they are able to create with it.  I think I'll take some time this weekend to gather those items up and get them ready for a giveaway next week.

Don't hold me to it, never know what life will throw at me before then.  But as of right now that's the plan.

Tomorrow night we'll be heading to our property that we're moving to in May to get the yard cleaned up and then this weekend or next... WE'LL BE PAINTING!  I'm so excited.  Can't wait to get started!

So, anyway, let me know what you think about the giveaway!  I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.  Will you participate?
