And The Winners Are...

Congratulations to Kimberly W for winning $20 for Spoil Me Rotten Momma and to Heather Smith for winning $20 for CBK Vinyl. (Check your email!) These winners were chosen at random by Rafflecopter. Thank you everyone who entered! Let me know if you are, as readers interested in more giveaways and what I can do to make them easier and better for you. (I have some ideas too.)
Remember I am going to be going a drawing for a $25 gift card to Applebee's once I get 100 followers. And a $50 gift card to Olive Garden when I have 500 readers!

ONLY 30 HOURS LEFT!

There are only about 30 hours left until my giveaway is over. I will be honest; been disappointed with the turn out. Only 4 people have entered! Can you imagine your odds if it even was 10 or 20? All you have to do is follow me or do one of the other items (there are 5 total). Completely easy! Check out my Rafflecopter which makes it even easier to do! I am so happy to be offering this as giveaway. The Applebee's gift card is still happening, once I reach 100 followers. To add to that if I get 500 followers (yes, I am ambitious) I will be giving a $50.00 gift certificate to Olive Garden!
To end here is a picture of Little Miss with Santa (bet you can't guess where we got the picture done)! Great way to start off the Christmas season (officially):

You Made WHAT With Cardboard!?!

Along with adhering to my goal of being more crafty (and I make working on growing out my hair, just throwing that out there). As I may have mentioned (but to lazy to verify) I am not only trying to be crafty and do so on a very tight (ok non-existent) budget. Cardboard however is in great supply (thanks to drinking soda and baby diapers). Once again I took an idea and ran a completely different direction with it.

Here is the original & it had the deer template too!
So here is my latest project (made from a diaper box):

The No Animals Were Harmed In The Making: Deer Head!
Supplies Needed:

• Cardboard (boxes work great!)
• Sharp razor cutter thing (What are those things called anyways?)
• Deer Template (From Chronicle Books Blog)
• Tape
• Scissors
• Wire or something to hang it up with (I used the hooks for Christmas decorations)

It really was pretty easy to do just time consuming, hand hurting. I started out by printing out the template and taping the extra long parts together. I cut wide and taped the template on my cardboard.

I proceeded to carefully cut along the lines and cut out all the pieces.

Then it is pretty self explanatory. Add each piece where it goes and you have the finished head.

Then all I did was take a pin and pin a couple holes and feed the hook through and bend to make a hanger.

Lastly I decorated it for Christmas. :)

My hunting hubby grudgingly likes it (since he hasn't gotten to hunt this year or last). I love these types of projects because there are about a million ways to do your own! Hope you all enjoy! I had a blast doing it (more then I probably should of). Don't forget to enter my giveaway it ends only in a couple days! Also remember 100 followers and I will be giving away to $25.00 gift card to Applebee's.
