My 2 year old daughter is SOOO into Mickey and the Beanstalk that this bag - the Jackpack - would be her present from the long awaited arrival of Santa - how great would that be?!

Rock, Paper, Scissors, GROSGRAIN!

Grosgrain? Yup. Grosgrain, THE blog. Again. Lovely little blog with even lovelier posts (and guest giveaways)! Check this one out:RockPaperScissors GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

As if a giveaway isn't enough, it's from Rock Paper Scissors, another one of my favorite vices (coming from a self-proclaimed paper addict and font-aholic). You'll be swept off your feet with their fabulous graphic design and multitude of personalization options - time to get creative!

Too good to be true - tutorials and giveaways?!

Well, the weekend is almost here...I actually spent the whole day today thinking it was Friday. Chya! Anyway, head on over to Grosgrain to try her 20 minute skirt tutorial - this is the kind of sewing I like to do...none of these 4 hour or 4 weekend projects. I love to see the fruits of my labor in less than 2 hours. Her tutorial is very well written and has tons of photos - find it here:
