Thank you all who participated in this exciting giveaway. It was great to find out what scents you enjoy-I can't wait to try some of them!

And a special thanks to Megan Bourne with Scentsy (www.meganbourne.scentsy.ca) for providing the generous prize.

Thank you all so much

2010-09-04T10:43:00.000-07:00

Good Luck to All!!

I hope YOU are the lucky winner!

Scentsy Giveaway!

2010-08-12T21:39:00.000-07:00

Hello, hello all! Usually I have a drawing for those who attend any given craft night...well, now is your chance to enter even if you don't attend!

Megan (who is a Scentsy Independent Consultant) has contacted me and was kind enough to offer this generous prize for the drawing/giveaway. The prize is a Full Size Scentsy system - which is 1 full sized Scentsy warmer of your choice plus 3 Scentsy bars in your choice of scents. How great is that!!

For those of you who don't know about Scentsy (you are totally missing out) here's a little bit about them. Scentsy is a company that focused on aromatic candles, but it's not just any ordinary "candle". This "candle" is a decorative warmer(s) with wax melted by the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.

Who hates to light their candles only because of the dreaded smell after you blow them out?-- I do!! When I received a Scentsy system as a Christmas gift, I literally tossed all my candles out. It is a spectacular system! I love how easy it is to change the scents with my daily moods. I honestly use mine everyday.

Okay so now you are thinking, "I'm sensitive to smells" well, there's hope for you! There are many, many, many different scents to choose from. Some of them strong and some of them mild. You can burn them for as long or as little as you like. I have heard of several people that are sensitive to smells, but they have found success in finding their favorite, enjoyable scents.

BTW- the warmer to the left is currently my favorite!!! And the Home Sweet Home scent is burning as we speak....as I type!

Okay, okay, enough about the fabulous free gift, lets hear about how to enter!

Here's what you need to do: Comment below telling me which warmer is your favorite - check out the options {HERE - http://www.meganbourne.scentsy.ca/ }. You must do this in order for additional entries to count.
What?? You can enter more than once?? That's awesome!

For ADDITIONAL entries: Please make each a separate comment

*Let me know a scent you would like to try or your favorite if you have one already - 1 entry

*Become a follower of Crafters Wanted blog please be sure to comment that you are a new follower - 1 entry

*Blog about this giveaway and send me the link - 1 entry

*Place an order on Megan's Scentsy site and let me know what you bought! - 5 entries

This giveaway is open to all US and Canada residents. All entries (comments) must be posted by: Saturday September 4, 2010 11:59 p.m.

***I neglected to mention that through the month of August almost everything in the catelog is 10% off. If you shop on her Scentsy page http://www.meganbourne.scentsy.ca/ you will want to make sure you select either "Canadian Market" or "US Market" in the upper right corner of the home page.

Happy Shopping and Good Luck to all!

#1. Watering can door hang $22

This is a great Spring/Summer decoration to hang on your door or even out on your patio/deck. It is done with coordinating paper, paint, glitter, wire, ribbon, and buttons. If you would prefer a different color scheme please bring supplies. The color scheme seen in the above pictures will be provided.

# 3. Keepsake box $12 Only 5 available

This tin box was hand decorated using coordinating paper, ribbon, flowers, and embellishments. The idea for this box came to me during Spring, when I was thinking of planting my flowers and garden items. I realized I needed something to hold all those packages of seeds that I have falling out of the cabinet! This is a great, strong box with a snap closure lid to keep those little seeds where they belong...besides in the dirt!

#4. Flower clips/headbands

$1 per clip $1 per headband

These brightly colored 4.5" flowers are secured to a ribbon covered Alligator clip that can be used directly in the hair, fastened to a headband (as seen), or on a hat. Easy for youngsters to use! (Great for Adults too) Please specify the color when you RSVP.

Where are you?

2010-03-11T20:01:00.000-08:00

Hello all my faithful followers! I'm sure by now you have decided that I have fallen off the face of the blogging world....which pretty much is true. I decided I should let you know what is going on.

With the recent events, I have lost what little motivation I once had. I have a few things that I am working on currently, and hope to have them done soon. I mentioned to a few, that the next craft night would be in March, but my home is under construction so I do not have access to all my crafty supplies and my mind is elsewhere. The March craft night has been put on hold. I sincerely appologize and will keep you posted.

Thank you for your understanding.

Happy Birthday Crafters Wanted!

It has been one year already. Way to go!

Thanks for all your support and participation. I look forward to another creative year with you!

One year ago, my friend mentioned to me the idea of holding a craft night. (thanks Ali) I thought it was a great idea and couldn't wait for the first one! Right away I sat down and came up with multiple ideas for all the different seasons. The hardest part for me was deciding which ones to use, there were so many to choose from.

The first craft night was a great success and I enjoyed sharing my ideas and helping others put them together. I continued to plan and hold one craft night per month. I enjoy it every time and love to visit with and get to know everyone who attends. I look forward to this next year and can't wait for the September craft night. I hope to see you all there!

Info coming soon.

Hooray! No Rain

2009-05-22T22:17:00.000-07:00

I just want to thank everyone who came to this month's craft night. It actually turned out great. I was a little skeptical when, 20min before people arrived, the sky grew dark and the winds picked up. I was so worried, we (and I mean a few who were early) moved all the supplies that I set up outside--inside. Thank you for your help. The weather got better and we could have stayed outside, but I actually enjoyed having it both inside and out. Thank you all for working with the weather and being willing to be cramped inside the house. I hope you all enjoyed your crafting experience and your items!

Congratulations to this months drawing winners:

10% off next purchase: Kaylee L.

10% off next purchase: Kristi U.

20% off next purchase: Cara G.

Everyday magnets: Carrie R.

First Day of Spring!

2009-03-20T20:22:00.000-07:00

Happy 1st day of Spring! I can not tell you how excited I am for Spring!!! I love the warm weather.

There was a great turn out tonight at the craft party. Thank you all who came and participated and for all the delicious treats.

Here are the results of the drawing:

3 colored egg: Heather G.
Egg Hunt kit: Abigail
Celebrate America: Jennifer L.

Tonight we also did something a little different. I put together a survey to get info from everyone to see what they like and didn't like about the craft nights. I asked everyone to fill one out. I know I hate surveys too, but I tried to make it fun and had a raffle drawing for that as well. The prize was a "Spring has Sprung!" vinyl decal to place on your window or on a mirror. Here are the results of that drawing. --Thank you all who filled one of these out, I really appreciate your help. If you didn't get a chance to fill one out and would still like to, I would love to hear what you have to say.
