I just "grabbed your button", come take a look at
clippingsippingandbeautifulchaos.blogspot.com
I just had a quick question. I was just noticing that in many of your projects, you use this distressing ink. Where do you find it? What is it? and how do you use it? They sure make things look neat. Thanks! I love your blog. Please get back to me at mindysland1@hotmail.com.
Thanks, Mindy
I am just wondering where you guys are located?
The Scott Family--
Distress Ink is an ink pad, designed specifically for making projects look "antiqued", or "weathered". You can purchase it at most scrapbook and craft stores.
Love the way your mind works! And I would love the paper tower.
I came across your website a few days ago and have fallen in love. Your ideas are adorable and directions are easy to understand..especially for us who are not too crafty. I was wondering where you get your vinyl letters. I went to the local craft store and they do not sell them. I was hoping to start some holiday crafting pretty soon and would love to have find them!!
Amy--
Great question! You'll need to order your vinyl from a vinyl company online. I have a link to the one I use in my right side bar, under the title, "need vinyl?". You can call them, and they will talk you through whatever you need.
Good luck!!
Just found your website and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I am interested in the Silhouette giveaway or just purchasing it if I don't win...what a stroke of genius! Since I am not too computer savvy, I am posting this way. Is this how I enter into the giveaway? Thanks
I would greatly appreciate it if you could follow my blog. I've just started it about a week ago...would love to know how I'm doing as a newbie so far.
I love the place for everything posts. What about a fridge makeover mine always gets soo messy so quickly. Vinyl lettering can stick really well inside a fridge. Just a thought :) Love your blog!
I added your button to my new project blog. It is at www.perhapsaproject.blogspot.com under Creative Friends. You have great ideas!
Tanya
Can you post the " Kiss me Im Irish tag" so it can be copied?
It is so cute but I don't have nay of those fonts or borders?
I will email too because I need it for tomorrow.
Thanks, Suzie
Suzie--
It actually is on there! Scroll down to the bottom of my post, and the image is there for you to right click on and save to your computer. If you have any other questions, let me know!
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog! I love all your projects and I'm hoping to get my blog off the ground soon! Thank you for posting such wonderful directions and inspiration!!
I am thinking of buying a silhouette machine. I was wondering if you use the software that comes with it or if you have the software that you can purchase? I didn't know if the one that comes with it is really too basic or not. Trying to figure out my total cost of everything.
I just discovered this and I LOVE all your creative ideas. I am wondering if you might have some ideas for teacher retirement gifts and/or cards. There are many teachers retiring in my school district this year, and I would love to show them my appreciation for their many years of service. I am also looking for ideas for Teacher Appreciation Day which is coming up. Any ideas on that?
Thank you!

I have been following your blog for a few months and ABSOLUTELY love it!!! I recently started a digital design blog and would LOVE to have a FREEBIE posted for all your followers! Anything in particular that you think they might like?

I follow your blog and really enjoy your posts and ideas. I just recently left my day job to open my own business selling my art and distressed picture frames. I was curious about how to offer a giveaway of one of my products. How do you decide on what giveaways you will be offering? I would love for you to check out my blog and see if you would be interested in offering one of my small frames as a giveaway. Thanks! Jennifer

I love all of your posts!! My favorite item is the Hot Pink Bloom Bag!! love pink and the bag!!
ok, let's try this again...I posted the comment above!!
ok, anyone know how to get a "profile name" instead of all those random letters and numbers?
thanx
Tifnee
The link to like you on fb took me to the bag site, and the link to the fall catalog didn't work.
Thought you'd want to know.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love, love, love the bags!! I am a bag freak anyway! I like all the totes...I am a teacher so I always have bags full of things! I also like the computer covers and the hipster. Too many great things to have a favorite!! I would love to win your giveaway!! :))
where can I get the wooden part of the calendar so I can make some for my co-workers?
Thanks,
Kelly
Hi Kierste, if I can remember correctly, you included in one of your posts a place setting idea for keeping kids occupied at Thanksgiving dinner (I'm having trouble finding it now.) Do you have something similar for Christmas? Or could you point me to the Thanksgiving post? I'm hosting a small Christmas lunch this weekend and want to throw something together to keep the 4 boys who will be in attendance very busy. Thanks!
Hey girl, it's Andi Torgerson from high School. Remember me? I had no idea you had such an amazing blog with fabulous followers. I have a blog too, did ya hear about it? I'd love to be featured some time - we could share some fun printables with each others followers/friends. Please visit me at Hotpinkpansy.com or email me at Hotpinkpansy(at)gmail(dot)com. Hugs, Andi
Hello~

I'm lovin the crumb cake recipe i would like to pin it but can't figure out how. Any help
I landed here from pinterest due to a picture of "pocket meal planning." I'd like to see more about this but can't find it on your blog. Can you help?
I am looking for some cute May basket ideas. Your ideas are always so cute, so I thought maybe you had some you could share with us. Thanks for your help :)
Hi,
I found your blog through pinterest. I am planning on doing a blog about finding your jamberry post and making the jam with my daughter. I won't be using your images, but I will share a link back to your page. Thanks for the great idea and printables.
