Hey Everyone!

Happy Monday!!!! Well I am feeling a little better after the surgery. I Still cant sit at my Craft table and I miss it like crazy. I have been making stick pins (inspired by my friend Ana at Scrappy Pink Corner) and a little crochet to keep me busy while I am laid up. I want to thank everyone for their well wishes! I can't wait to get out of this bed and at least be able to sit in a chair...

Since I haven't been able to craft after surgery. Meriah at Tattered Time and I have decided to extend the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge for another week. Sorry for the inconvenience. Since we are extending it Meriah will pick 2 winners next Monday that will be entered for the Grand Prize at the End of the Month. CLICK HERE to enter the Challenge.

Now I wanted to share with all of you my NEW Button Storage! It took a while to get here but I was so excited to finally receive it. Here it is!!!
Isn't this just yummy!!! Get this! If you put a coin in it it will actually dispense the buttons... I plan on getting them from the top but thought that it was cool that the buttons came out when I put in a coin.

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for Pink by Design's Stamptastic Tuesday!
