life is good - top 10 reasons i love the asptl diy party

what is the asptl diy party? only "the" place to be every thursday this summer. the place to see & be seen! where is this party? right here in bloggyland. click on this button
DIY Day @ ASPTL
& it'll take you right there.
who's the hostess? kimba from a soft place to land. she's cute, crafty & creative & extremely generous with her time & talents.

the top 10 reasons i love the asptl diy party:

#10 i received the encouragement to start & finish a project

#9 now i can say i did something this summer

#8 it gave me a reason to make a bookshelf for the grandkids

#7 my blog got lots of comments

#6 the comments were from all over the country

#5 it gives you a chance to visit lots of other blogs

#4 i got so many ideas from all the other projects

#3 i saved a bundle of money by making the project myself instead of buying
it ready made (actually target has one in the ads today for $39 but wrong color)

#2 my project was in the top 10 with 9 fabulous projects

and the #1 reason i love the asptl diy party is:

my name was selected out of the top 10 projects & i won the prize from whiteflower house (yeah!). they have gorgeous things in their online store at whiteflowerfarmhouse.com

i'm gonna use it for my "beachy" theme coffee i'm having on the 14th. i love it, i love it, i love it. the queen of procrastination has won a prize for a diy project.
how cool is that?

& i owe it all to kimba & these little cuties:


blessings & peace -

Hi Randee

Cute story you left on your comment to me about the mother of the bride dress! Too funny. I'd love to see this dress myself since everyone loved it.

Hugs!
Kat

Yay for Ohio!

Hi, Randee! I was excited for you when you won. :) I loved your project.

Thank you so much for the sewing tip! I'll have to see if I can figure it out next time.

Sadly, I've only used my Cricut a few times. I have the older one. I'm hoping to change that as I organize my space.

If you drop in later today, I'll have tons of pictures up from the shower. :)
