Weekend Inspirations

I don't know if you have seen yet but Nike from Thrive is at it again!  She has seriously raised the bar for all of us thrifty and frugal crafters.  This projected has absolutely wowed me.  Can you believe this Wall Pocket Knockoff is made from CARDBOARD??  So incredibly inspiring.  Her "Rock What Ya Got" attitude towards life is something to commend her for as well.  Awesome project Nike!

Lucky Bits

I am so incredibly ridiculously excited to have reached the 100 follower milestone and seriously want to thank all of you for taking the time to read and comment.  It means so much to everyone to feel like someone cares, especially me.  I never thought anyone would even care what I made but you guys have given me so much motivation to do bigger and better projects.  SO why not have a giveaway to celebrate, right?  I will be posting tomorrow about this but I just couldn't wait to let you know I noticed. :)

Allie from What Allie's Making Now has came up with the cutest idea!  She might seriously be the cutest mom ever. She has made a jar of personalized Lucky Bits to carry around for some extra luck that I am sure we all could use!  Forget using a plain old penny!  I know I want some extra luck right about now!  So if you haven't already, check her out because her blog is packed tight with awesome projects like this and she also hosts a Linky Party that has no limit to the amount of projects you can share.  Yup, she is cool like that!  

P.S.  Did I also tell you that she might be the nicest, most helpful blogger I have met to date?  I am so thankful to have met such an awesome friend through blogging.  So make sure you find some time to share the love :)

LOVE it

I am so crazy in love with Leo Reynold's collections on Flickr.  There I said it. I cannot stop spelling out different words with different letters and they ALL look awesome!  I have done so many but I wanted to show you my version of the alphabet. Oh yeah...and you can do it too!  All I did was save the pictures and edit in PAINT.  How crazy simple is that?  Simple yet stunning ;)

Weekend Inspirations

This week I have seen so many awesome posts that I decided to start something new.  Weekend Inspirations is dedicated to all the posts that have stood out and inspired me.

This week it's definitely all about Suzy over at http://www.suzyssitcom.com/.  She is one of the most creative bloggers out here.  Some of her posts that have just awed me are her Faux Stained Glass

Or how about this freaking awesome Monogram?  Can you believe she made this out of cardboard?  This woman is TALENTED!

And I am sure you have all seen her ridiculously fabulous Faux Metal

So what and who had inspired you?

**Caught In Grace Feature**

Have you ever stumbled upon someones blog and just adored everything they did?  Well, I have and she deserves so many props for her fabulous blog!  (Drumroll) Let me introduce you to Jaime from Caught in Grace.  From fabulous photo shooting tips to unique ideas for wood pallets to fun little recipes and my absolute favorite her window turned picture frame.  I just fell in love with Jaime's style and did I mention she has THE cutest family? By far I think she has some of the best pictures in the blogging world.  Can you tell I am like her biggest stalker fan?  So stop by when you get a minute and show this talented mama some love!
