200 Fan Giveaway Winners...

Last week I posted about my first giveaway here at {Crafty} Mommy and Wife. The plan was to give away 3 different products to 3 different winners. Seeing as how this was my first giveaway, I wasn't anticipating a huge turnout. Five lovely fans decided to try their luck in this first giveaway of mine and I am here to announce the winners of that giveaway!

And the winners are:

I decided to go ahead and give a product to each of you lovely ladies that signed up! If you could all send an email to a.wills84@yahoo.com with your address and contact info and I will send out a surprise goodie to each of you this week!

Thank you for participating in my first giveaway and for being such great supporters of {Crafty} Mommy and Wife!

Bow Boards

Recently, I came across a new storage solution for all those cute bows...a bow board. I made one for my daughter and it is currently holding 70+ bows! Contact me if you are interested in ordering one or for more information. I am always accepting custom orders.

Wedding Shower Towel Cake

My sister in law was hosting a wedding shower for a co-worker and asked me to make a towel cake for her. I told her I would give it a shot. Here's how it came out...

I love it and it was fairly simple to put together. I think this will be my new favorite go-to wedding shower present! Thank you to my sister in law for asking and trusting me to make this!

New-Dresses and Shirts

I needed a birthday present for a 3 year old girl, and after some searching found out how to make these cute toddler dresses out of bandanas. I made one for the birthday girl and of course, one for my girl too! They are so cute and just perfect for summer. I also used the same style to make dresses out of fabric and even a waffle weave towel for a shirt. Check out the pictures!

I also tried my hand at an appliqued tie onesie or "little man" onesie. I've seen these online and in boutiques and thought they are so cute. I've never had a boy to make one for but had a baby shower for a little boy come up and needed a gift! Also, I found out just a couple months ago that I am getting a new nephew in August so he will be getting one too!

Custom Printed Ribbon

I found instructions for printing your own ribbon and decided to give it a try. I wanted to make some "big sister" and "little sister" bows. I had fun with it! Here are some pictures...

Facebook Fan Page

I'm so excited about the different directions my craft "business" is going right now! I just got my fan page up and running on Facebook yesterday. If you haven't done so already and are interested, go check it out and become a fan of "Crafty Mommy and Wife". Thank you to all my friends, family, and customers for your continued support. I would not be where I am without the help all of you give!

I have a few ideas that I am toying with right now since I finally got my fan page done. I may possibly be doing an Etsy shop soon or there is a new feature on the Facebook fan pages called "Storefront" where people can shop right from Facebook using PayPal! I am currently signed up for PayPal but am waiting for my account to be "verifed" so that I may start accepting payments that way. I am always open to any other ideas/suggestions as well. Stay tuned for news about the Etsy shop or "Storefront" on Facebook!!
