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.

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)...

Cute as a Fox has done an adorable Sequin Shamrock Barrette:

Sun Scholars did some ADORABLE shamrock snacks (will be doing this):

Sitting at the Kitchen Table did an awesome shamrock shirt!:

Red Ted Art has a Spring Get Crafty post... there is an adorable Sparkly Clover... LOVE!!!

Baby Gifts - Part 4 - Car Seat Tent

Although there still are some other small little things here and there that I gave my sister to go with the bag, one of my last and favorite pieces is this...

A car seat tent with Holden's name on it:

It gets even better... It buttons up. Pretty spiffy dude!

My sister really liked it... I think. I mean come to think about it, she doesn't really know how much she will use it, but I am confident that when the little guy arrives that they will learn quickly how awesome some of these things are.

Now I can't finish this part of the post without saying where I got my original inspiration for this. A couple years ago I stumbled on this amazing site, called The Thrifty Chick. Her name was Stacey, and she was amazing, crafty and I just knew that I would follow her forever. Not long after I started reading she posted pictures of her fourth child. A beautiful baby boy named Greyson. A couple days later she posted pictures of her car seat tent tutorial that I knew one day I would have to make. The tutorial is still there for anyone who wants to take a shot at it (mine is altered just a little bit, but you can easily tell what I did to change it). Then not 6 days later it was posted on her blog that this beautiful, talented, creative mother of four had passed away. The rememberance post made me cry, "The Lord must have needed a skilled genealogist (scrapbooker) in heaven and only the most skilled would do." So Stacey years later you are still remembered and have touched so many lives. Thank you and my prayers and love goes out to your family still.

Yesterday 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).
