Great Minds Revisited

Last week I did a post about thinking like another blogger, and it seems we did it again. :)

I went to JoAnn's Fabrics today and found that they are liquidating their inventory to prepare for a move. I bought loads of fabrics for 50% off and I bought an item for a giveaway. My friend Meredith is doing a giveaway for a book about crafts using a yard of fabric. Last week it was polish, this week fabric, what next? ;)

A few weeks ago I got a brilliant idea. I always try to use a painted wall for Sweetpea as a background for her pics, and it looks nice. Well, I went by a photography store the other day and they were using the cutest background. I was tempted, but 2 problems. 1. Sweetpea would scream the whole time so it would be a waste of time and money, 2. I can take great pics, so it isn't worth blowing the money. Then, light bulb. I will buy a yard of fabric to pin up on the wall to make my own backgrounds. Now, these backgrounds will only last for as long as she is little, but I figure once that time comes I can find a craft to use these fabrics.

Here is my beginning of photo backgrounds. :) Eek! Can't wait to set up my "studio" to shoot Sweetpea, and soon, her "cousin" Nathan. :)

I have a few other projects in mind, so I bought 1/3 yard of these fabrics. How stinkin' cute is that bug fabric!? (Yes, the pinks/browns are meant to go together, but the fabrics on the right are not- obviously. lol)

Sorry for the glare! :) Here is my giveaway! It is a reusable shopping bag that says "craft, create, conserve." Now, I am not big on the "go green" trend, but this was too cute! I LOVE birds, these colors, and the saying. After all, most of my crafts are from using something I have in the house- say cardboard, so this fits nicely.

I bought an extra bag for a lucky blog reader. All you have to do is leave me a comment here, (I'll also accept a comment on my facebook where this post is linked). On Friday I'll choose a winner and send it straight out in hopes you will get it on Valentine's Day. A little love for ya from the Keierleber Characters. ♥
