Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

While I've been pretty immersed in the sewing realm of crafting lately, I still follow a number of blogs by very talented ladies here in Utah. One of which is Amber Packer. She used to teach classes at my favorite scrapbook store - All My Memories - before it closed last year. Last week she hosted a give away on her blog ( http://www.bloominmemories.typepad.com/ ) for a copy of a new publication by Scrapbook Trends magazine/Northridge Media: Simply Handmade.

That's right, I won! How exciting this was, not only because I never win anything BUT this magazine is AWESOME! It really can't be considered just a magazine either....more like a book. The thick pages are chock full of incredible photos & close ups, accompanied by step by step instructions for each of the crafts shown. Simple paper or sewing projects that can be completed in a matter of hours, that turn out great! I would definitely recommend picking up your own copy. This Christmas themed issue was wonderful & I can't wait to see what comes out next.

BIG THANKS to Amber for this fabulous prize. You have a beautiful home and nice ride (we drive the same car...haha). Hope the yard recovers from Nolan trampling through your flower beds!
