My Kitchen Canisters and Giveaway Winner

It’s time to announce the winner of the 3 months of advertising giveaway!!!  I am so excited! 

But, first, I want to show you my very first experience with vinyl!  I know, I know:  how can I be a blogger and not use vinyl?  Well, I’m not sure what my excuse is, but I’ve got to say, I love this stuff!  I ordered some numbers (1, 2, 3) from Wonderfully Wordy because they were having such an amazing deal through Groopdealz.  *By the way, they are not endorsing me in any way, I just wanted to share! 

So, anyway, I have these canisters I got several years ago from Walmart (on clearance).  I love them because they remind me of Winnie The Pooh’s honey pots!  Just looking at them almost gives me a rumbly in my tumbly! 



When my vinyl arrived, it was such a snap to apply- you just remove the backing, press it on and rub it down good and then peel away the paper.  I love my little honey pot canisters even more now!  I think the numbers just make them stand out. 



So, long story short - I love vinyl!  Not that I’m going to cover everything with it, but it’s just so fun! Now, I am really wanting a Silhouette!  If you have been living under a rock (like, apparently me), and haven’t tried vinyl , you really should - I’m sure you have somewhere you could stick it!  It’s super easy and fun!  I was very pleased with Wonderfully Wordy’s great prices and fast shipping!  I’m sure I will be back for more…


Now, back to the Giveaway!!  I used Mrs. Glosser’s Math Goodies random number generator (instead of Random.org) because I could show the results for free.  Yes, I’m cheap (and proud to be)!  So, without further ado, the winner is…………………………….

A Grand Opening and A Giveaway!!!

I have toyed with the idea of offering advertising and having sponsors on Krafty Kat for a little while.  I have finally decided to make it official so this is like "the grand opening"!  I have even dedicated a page up top that you can click on for all of the details.  Take a minute and check it out and let me know what you think. I am open to any and all suggestions- nothing is written in stone!

As with any grand opening, there has to be specials and giveaways and this is no exception.  I am offering a B1G1 FREE monthly ad special for the first month.  Pretty sweet deal, I think.  Also, one lucky reader will get 3 free months of ad space! 


THAT’S RIGHT…IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!


All you have to do to win is:

1. Be a follower of Krafty Kat
2. Leave a comment & let me know why you want to win, what do you think about blog ads, any advice, etc.

For extra entries:

1.  “Like” my Facebook Page & leave me a comment saying you did.
2. “Follow” me on Twitter & leave me a comment saying you did.

That’s it.  This giveaway is open until March 31st.  The winner will be chosen via Random.org.  GOOD LUCK & Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

New Year's Mantel & CSN Giveaway!!

I did it! The tree is down and all of that Christmas stuff is packed up. My house is starting to get a little more back to normal! I did decorate just a little on my mantel for New Year's. I never have but I feel like it's a holiday that often gets left out when it comes to decorations.

I simply put my icy wreath in front of my Goodwill silver tray and added a Happy New Year printout I made on the computer.

If you would like to download the printable, you can find it here

Would look great in a frame!

By that is a whimsical picture from the Graphics Fairy of a girl dancing on a bottle of champagne and says Happy New Year.

I put some frosty white ornaments in my dollar store hurricanes along with some silver disco ball looking ornaments.

I added a couple of glasses with gold disco ball ornaments and wrapped it all up with white tulle and holographic curling ribbon.

Not too bad using just what I had laying around. I thought about making a really cool banner but it will only be up for a few days ( and I'm lazy) so I'm not going through all of the trouble. Wish I had a little silver and gold tinsel...sigh...So, are you planning a big New Year's party? If you use the printable, I would love to see it!

Now, in case you didn't get exactly what you wanted for Christmas, here's your chance to shop for yourself. I was so excited when CSN stores contacted me about hosting a fabulous giveaway for my US and Canadian followers! They have an entire network of sites full of fashion and home accessories! You could literally shop for days (200+ stores)! Here are a few of the things I have been looking at:

These adjustable bar stools would be perfect for a New Year's Eve party!

I need some new black boots and I am drooling over these Carlos (by Carlos Santana) Clifton boots

My boys would love these metal bunkbeds:

I need to get organized (that's one of my resolutions) and these jute boxes would be perfect:

They really have just about everything! They will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is: be a Krafty Kat follower and leave a comment on this post. That's it. Super simple! The winner will be announced at next week's Gettin' Krafty With It link party on Tuesday.

This giveaway is now closed.
