And I am off! And a FUN giveaway…

Tomorrow, I leave for Summer CHA. This is a giant craft show that I go to every year for Hero Arts. I work the booth, laugh, teach classes, see friends, go to meetings, laugh more, do make and takes and get very little sleep… the whole works.

And, I am so very happy to say that I pretty much wrapped up the HUGE project I am doing for Hero Arts. Just a few minutes ago. I have some last minute finishes to do. But the guts of it? It is DONE. Whew. Once it is announced at CHA I will be sure to share here.

I have done some samples for my favorite companies/friends at the show. Want a peek?

Peeks

I also am thrilled to have a giveaway for you.

Recently, I have been collecting fun, playful prints for an upcoming remodel of the kid's bathrooms. I plan to have everything white, except TONS of these bold prints and a mix of bold towels. I have been collecting some on etsy for awhile now. Recently, I got a batch that are by far my favorites. I did something I rarely do – I asked her if I could give one away on my blog, knowing you all would love them. And guess what? She is super sweet and said I could give away two. Sweet.

So, HERE is the shop I love. Her name is Lori McDonough, and she even has a great blog HERE. These are the prints I got…

THIS one makes me smile…

Il_430xN.156100834 THIS one makes me giddy…

SO… now is your chance to win a print of your choice! Just leave me a comment here by Wednesday night telling be about a happy moment in your day and I will pick TWO winners. Each will get a print of their choice from Lori's shop HERE.

Thanks, Lori!

And I am excited that my next post will be the first of a few from Kay! And we will even end with a post from Audrey. You will love what they have to share – promise. 🙂

Oh, and I forgot to announce the winner of the Sponge Daubers from earlier this week. The lucky one is Tracey… I will email you.

I am off to pack. If you want peeks and photos from CHA, follow me on Twitter HERE. Bye!

    My parents, 90 and 85, were here to say goodbye to their great-great granddaughter who is 16 months old and on the 11th will be leaving for Germany for 3 years with her dad and mom. Her dad is in the Air Force. It was a happy time.

    A happy moment in my day today was sitting in church with my husband’s arm around me. Does it get better? After church we went shopping for our kids rooms, we are in the middle of redoing their bedrooms also. The kids hung out at home after church and my sweet, sweet husband an I enjoyed the entire afternoon on our own. It is the little things to me that are so much fun! 🙂

  17. lynne says:

    I love these and it will be hard to pick one. The happy part of my day was the Sunday paper. We stopped getting the paper as it was getting expensive. My husband went out this morning and got me a Sunday paper and a doughnut. Got to stay in bed and read it.

    Thx so much for the chance to win–some of that art would be AWESONE!

    Hope you have fun at CHA! It must be great to meet so many people and laugh with them. A happy moment for me was following your link to this woman’s etsy store. Her prints are so much fun. They make me smile. I love the one about the lottery. I love my husband very much and it is so true. He always wishes he could win the lottery so I could have everything I’ve always wanted…but I tell him constantly that I already have everything I could ever want. I know, sappy. But so what, it’s true and that poster makes me smile. 😉

  22. Stephanie says:

    Wow, love those prints. I’m fond of great quotes and sayings. I’ve got an art journal in wich I paint beautiful quotes and sayings.

    A happy moment in my day was this morning when I woke up. I was still very tired, but the idea that I’m having my vacation, reminds me to just enjoy my free day and do the things I like.

  27. Janet K says:

    Hi Jen, the happy day moment was last week that I got to travel back to my old hometown and took the chance to visit my old school and other places where I always meet my buddy mates. It was back 20 years and everything turns different now. Developments and changes on some places, fortunately the school is not ‘touched’ and I am glad I could take wonderful breath and stood a corner of the school where I have always waited for my mother and my late-granny to fetch me back home.
    Thanks for allowing to express our happy moment with chance to win. Thanks Jen!!!

  28. Samantha says:

    My happy moment of yesterday was watching the 3 women who did a triathlon open the cards I had made them that matched the leg of the event they did: one swimming, one running, one biking. I had a blast using old stickers and stuff to make the cards and I was so glad they got a kick out of them too.

  29. Michelle K says:

    Pretty much any happy moment in my day comes from my kids. I love when they just come and give you a hug and kiss just because. Have fun at CHA.

  30. Coffee in hand, puppys head on my lap, looking at my favorite card sites. Yes life is good, hope yours is!

  31. Ana says:

She has Crohn’s disease and is hooked on the pain meds. Made me happy to just see her clean and her face glowing. Thanks for the chance to win.

    It’s early Monday morning and I have been outside cleaning up stuff in my backyard that I have neglected all summer. It has just been too hot. My happy moment is knowing that I have done a job well done and that I have a cool house to return to. Love it.
