Scrap for Charity!!!
Spread the word and you can win this...
One of my dear bloggy-buddies Julia, from Sweet as Punkin Pie is holding a scrap contest to raise money to help out her sister, who happens to be a Doctor who is hosting the second annual Handle With Care charity event. The money raised will go to the HIV Testing and Treatment Dept. of the Los Angeles Christian Health Center.
This contest is done in two parts. First, if you can spread the word on your blog, you can win the prize above (handcrafted and donated by your's truely). Second is the actual scrapping contest.
1) Create a LO using RED ribbon and email a picture of it to jladewski51@gmail.com.
2) Donate at least $2 (or more) to play. Julia will send you instructions on how to donate after recieving your LO.
Here is what you could win:
Your layout AND donation must be received by Sunday, March 15th at 11:59pm EST to be considered. The winner will be picked based on their overall layout, but creativity of the use of red ribbon will be heavily weighed. So get creative.
I have also taken this a step further and decided to create a Scrap Red section for my Etsy store. $1 of the proceeds from the purchase of any Scrap Red will go straight to Julia in addition to the $2 I will be contributing to play her LO contest.
So go check out Julia's site (click link/pic below) and spread the word! You have a chance to win not one but TWO fabulous prizes and it's for charity, so could it get any better?

Projects... and Gnomes!
Meet Henry,
He was my first Gnome. A gift from a co=worker for last years Christmas gift exchange. We had to write down 3 things, to give our Secret Santa some ideas and I just wrote down some random stuff. I never in a million years thought A) she would be able to find a gnome in winter and B) that the gnome was actually the giFt she purchased. Not that I'm complaining.
I love gnomes, I don't really know why, but there is an unexplained soft spot in my heart for them. Maybe it's from that episode of King of the Hill (Gnomenclature... oh Bobby Hill) or maybe its just carrying over from my other current obsession of all things woodland. Maybe it's both, maybe its neither... I can never really be sure.
Speaking of woodland, remember those cute little terrriums I talked about in this post? Well, I finally got around to making a couple at naptime today. I froze my butt off while I was outside building them, but at least it wasn't raining.
Here is Conrad,
And this is Norman,
I think I remember reading that they need to be covered, but I can't really confirm that. And I'm not much of a green thumb. In fact, I think my thumbs just may be the grim reaper to plants, so we shall see how these fare. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I'll have to keep you posted on the outcome.
And projects... maybe I should have called this post "Gnomes... and Projects" instead. No, I think I'm okay. The terrariums were projects, right?
Did you happen to notice the dessert trays in the previous pictures? Well... I made them.
Wanna find out how to win it? Click on the button below to find out ALL about it!
I'll post more details about Julia's contest later, but right now I am going to go put my feet up and try not to fall asleep on the couch before Goose's bedtime. Mamma is tired!

A while back I bought these two blue candle holders from the dollar store with this project from Once Wed in mind. So anyway, I was trying to take the easy way out and just match the blue candle holder to a plate... not as easy as I thought though. Apparently, this particular blue is a difficult shade to match
So after looking 4 EVR with no luck I finally found the plates... in the gardening department of Tuesday Morning (a retail discount store kinda like BIg Lots) of all places.
They were glazed terra cotta planter bottoms and the matched perfectly and for only $3 bucks a piece, they were exactly what I was looking for. I painted the bottoms red and then added some cute trims to finish them off. I plan on using them for Goose's birthday (in less than a month *tears*) so, I will probably trow some paper doilies on top and call it a day. To attach the trim to the plate I used Fabri-Tac (love it!) and to attach the plate to the candle holder I used E600 (also love it!).

I also worked on this nifty little package of pretty blog candy for my friend Julia:
