teachers gifts

As a thank you gift for Mrs. Grove for a great school year I made this bag. I think it turned out cute except that visually it looks lopsided (hence the added flower to hopefully distract). It is all straight though - I meant to make the green fabric strip larger in comparison to the other two, but I didn't make it dramatic enough. I think that's why it LOOKS lopsided. I used some Joel Dewberry fabric I have in my stash and made the bag in just a couple of hours.

We gave homemade jam to the teachers aids/helpers in the class. I found this blog that has the cutest little labels to attach with the jam. The labels are free. Check them out!

I brought this stuff to school yesterday even though we still have a couple of days left. It felt good to check this task of my list (and who knows! This baby could come 5 weeks early like it's older brother.) I think I am nesting, but not in the clean-every-corner-of-my-house way (much to my husband's dismay). I've been getting little crafty things done that I've been meaning to get to for the past 8 months!

free books?? free money?? any takers??

Search & Win

Have you heard of Swagbucks.com?? It's freakin' awesome! You earn points by doing your searches (powered by Google) through their site. So you easily put their search toolbar into your search toolbar and earn points. If you search everyday you'll earn at least 1 swagbuck (total - not one with every search). Sometimes you'll get 3 "bucks" sometimes 10. Sometimes you'll even get multiple 1 Swagbucks if you happen to be doing a lot of searching.

Slowly but surely I've earned $30 worth of giftcard for Amazon.com. $30! That's like two free crafty sewing books! With free shipping to boot!! Just think, if you start now you'll have lots of money to spend by Christmas for gifts!

Click on the picture above or on this link. Sign up under me and as you win, I win.

Oh yeah! If you enter the "swagcode" (you'll see it as you're signing up) just enter CASHISKING and earn an extra 5 swagbucks!! Woot! Woot! btw - I'm sure this expires, but I'm not sure when. I just found the code on another blog. Also, I think it's just for people signing up for the first time.
