Hoo Loves You?

Don't these cute owls just make you go "hoot"?  I've been trying my hand and making an owl crocheted pattern, so right now, I'm just wild about owls!

ROYGBIV Lovin'

Have you ever woken up, and just felt like, "I'm going to make something special today?"  

Today I did, so I made TWO (count them TWO) treasuries.  Yes, I'm feeling all right.  And no, I was not abducted by aliens.  I just felt a little... well inspired.  

So here's my second treasury from today, featuring some lovelies from my fellow Homefront Team shop owners, inspired by a rainbow.

Mother's Day Giveaway with Homefront Team

Because there is NO such thing as TOO many giveaways, I have joined another one!  This time it's with Etsy Homefront Team for Mother's Day.  23 fellow homefronter's (a group of military spouses and loved ones) got together and donated $400 worth of awesome prizes to be awarded to ONE luck winner!

Anyone can participate (er, well except for me, which saddens me to no end!) and it's super easy to enter.  All you have to do is follow the Homefront Team blog and like them on Facebook (which I linked those for you here so you have NO excuses!); then you are entered!  Awesome right?!

Camelot's Treasures donated a lovely rose fabric basket, perfect to hold anything your heart desires.  What I like to use them for?  Holding fat quarters, CDs (what few I may still have), or the T-man's Super Hero Squad guys (Iron Man is partial to roses, while Thor prefers puppies I am told...).

(bows not included)

So check out the blog post here (just in case you didn't ALREADY click on the previous log) http://homefrontartistryteam.blogspot.com/2011/04/mothers-day-giveaway.html and get entering!  And be sure to search "homefront team" on your next venture on Etsy for some super awesome handmade items by military families all over the world!

Blog in a Blog?

So I wrote an article for the Homefront Team's blog , talking about the story behind the name Camelot's Treasures.

By the way, for other awesome handmade treasures made by fellow military spouses and significant other's search "homefront team" at Etsy!

Monday Meet-Ups

I'm on a mission to start blogging more frequently, so why not jump onto the bandwagon with the Etsy Homefront Team and join in on their Monday Meet-Ups!

A "Monday Meet-Up" is when it's the 2nd or 4th Monday of the month, questions are posted on the Homefront Team Blog for anyone to answer! :)

This weeks questions were asked by Sarah from Florida Scarf on Etsy:

1. What song is your personal anthem? If you don't have an anthem a favorite song will do. MY ANSWER - "No Rain" by Blind Melon is definitely my personal anthem. I could totally see myself rocking that Bee Outfit the little girl is dancing around in...it's not sane. :)
2. What is your favorite ride at an amusement park?
MY ANSWER - Anything that is death-defying with crazy corkscrews and loop-da-loops! If when I get off the roller coaster I don't feel like I'm going to hurl, than it wasn't worth it!
3. What was your favorite restaurant at any of your past/present duty stations?
MY ANSWER - How hard is this to answer, when we are currently stationed in Italy? So far, the best food I've had has got to be at this little restuarant in Gaeta, which I can't recall the name. All I know is I fell in love with gnochhi...
4. Where is your favorite place to go for supplies?
MY ANSWER - any craft store will suffice, but currently since I'm overseas it's been limited to online ordering. I will admit I have found myself to be resourceful and utilized the local stores (including the Panaroma and Brico) to do some of my bidding. But I totally miss being able to wander through the aisles of Jo-Ann's, AC Moore's, and Michael's pretty often.
