Worthless Contest!

Let me just say... I don't appreciate it! Yes I am ranting (I am entitled as it is "THAT" week)!!! You know who you are... what is the point of having a contest when you don't really look at the entries. Out of all of the things I made for my sister and entered...

Entered
Baby Bag
Changing Pad
Burp Cloths
Diaper Wipe Holders
Embroidered Blanket (didn't even put it on my blog it was so insignificant because all I did was embroider a pre-made blanket)

Not Entered
Car Seat Tent

You picked the (1) for voting on that was only embroidered (the blanket) and nothing else done to it. Not the bag that took 20 plus hours to make, or any of the ADORABLE accessories... Do I care about the yard of fabric I would have gotten from your stash if I had won... NO! That isn't the point. The point is that I entered 5 things into your contest and you picked the one for voting that I had the least "HEART" as you called it. What a joke!

So, I took you off my side bar of favorite blogs... I checked out of your flicker group where the entries are uploaded... you will soon be a long gone memory, but for now... you are on my LIST.

Blast Ball Shirts

First off, I didn't post yesterday because you would have just had a huge long rant about me being peeved that I waited for 2 hours on Friday afternoon to get the iPad 2 only for them to run out before I could get up there. I am still upset that by the time I was able to order one that I won't get it till 4/8/11, but whatever, there are worse things going on in the world right now... so in perspective, my life is pretty rockin' at the moment!

Ok, so I wasn't super enthusastic about blast ball... what is blast ball? Well it is the pre-cursur to t-ball. There is one base, and all the little kids line up and wait for the kid to hit off the tee and then go after it. The kid who hits runs to the base and yells BLAST when he jumps on it. It's kinda cute now that Laci has gotten into the practices. But, this past weekend I made some shirts so that I would at least look cute at these games... lets just say I LOVE how they turned out!!!

I used the freezer paper & cricut method... have questions? Just ask me about it... I love doing this!

Here is the front design up close:

Here is the back:


I made Jake one too (that says Laci's Dad of course, oh and negative the glitter) and he promised to wear it. I think he has finally accepted that I am crazy and has learned to embrace it. What do you think of them? They are pretty stinkin' cute right!?!

It's Stinkin' Cute Craft Thursday #45

Before we get to the Linky Party I am trying to get as much support for Laci's picture as possible...

The other day I posted information on helping my daughter win a contest. If you can help out I would sure appreciate it. In fact I am thinking about having a giveaway for everyone who votes for my munchkin. Let me know if you would like a giveaway. If so tell me the kinds of things you would want to see ($10.00 gift card, something hand made, or a surprise that I think would fit the winner). Let me know and in the mean time go vote... info below:

Are you on Facebook? If so can you please help me out and vote for my little munchkin... If you go to the Texas Monkey Boutique Page and like them, then go to the 3-4 age group photos and click like on Laci's photo... it is the one below.


TMB Spring/Summer Model Search 3-4 Years Old
Laci Age 3
Ages 3-4 Each age group will have one winner. In the event that there is a tie a panel of judges will vote on the two pictures to determine a winner. To Vote: Only "Likes" for pictures are counted toward the votes. Comments on the photos are welcome but not counted towards the votes. If anyone leaves a negative, rude, or harassing comment it will be deleted and that person will be blocked.

Ok, now for the linky party!

I seriously don't know how to narrow it down this week... there were 40 entries and I kid you not there are 8 that I want to feature...

Hum, how to knock this down... lets just quickly mention the ones that I am suckers for... I can't help but get roped into the holiday stuff... (Laci was born 9 minutes after Saint Patricks Day so I am completely partial. I mean I am also Irish too, so this one is big for me)...
