Review & Giveaway: MOO cards!

February 27, 2012 |

As a blogger, I get offers all the time to do a giveaways or sample a product. Most of them I don’t deal with, but this one was one I had to pass along.

Canvas print Vday Gift Idea (and a Giveaway!)

February 8, 2012 |

My friend and local Atlanta photographer Sarah Howell (check out her new website at kimballbates.com!) had done some fabulous black and white photos of the Boy, and I figured that one of those would make a fun and striking canvas print. And conveniently enough, and the kind folks at FedEx Office (I’ve guest blogged over there before) were kind enough to offer me a chance to try out their canvas printing service and tell you all about it. So, perfect! The canvas print came out really lovely, and the kind folks at my local FedEx… Read on...

June 9, 2011 |

If you remember, Tiny Prints sponsored a great blog party for Dabbled and some fellow Atlanta bloggers last month for mother’s day. Well, due to some technical difficulties, I didn’t have a chance to order mother’s day cards prior to the deadline for arrival by mother’s day, so I decided not to push it and order some cards for father’s day instead! And they just came in, and they are lovely. (Oh, and if you’re my husband stop reading this!) (Want your own? Go to the Tiny Prints facebook page and get a free… Read on...

Review: Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People by Amy Sedaris

December 6, 2010 |

I got a review copy of Amy Sedaris’ latest book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People
and thought you lovely people might be interested in hearing about it… First off, let’s get this straight that this is much more of a humor book than a craft book. Although there are a few actual projects and recipes in it, most of the projects are tongue in cheek or downright weird. If you were around during the 70′s, you’ll probably remember a few of them from when you were a kid (I totally remember making sweet gum ball Christmas… Read on...
