Now some final thoughts from me!

 

I love Blogging…yes that’s with a Capital B!

I Heart Crafty Things, too.  So having a C.R.A.F.T. blog has been a dream come true!

These past 6 months have been amazing. I have been Literally Inspired by all of your Sassy Sites!

The BEST thing about blogging is ALL of the Truly Lovely bloggers I’ve met.

{Especially all of you Southern Lovely ones…yes, I’m from the South, too! :)}

My second MOST favorite thing about blogging is that my Someday Crafts are getting done

TODAY!  Wahoo!  I’ve had so many projects on my to do list fOrEvEr…it’s so fun checking things

off the list.   Of course, when I see YOU doing A Little of This, A Little of That it makes my list grow

once again!  I love seeing what YOU are up to each week at my {wow me} wednesday party!

{Thank YOU so much for all the support you give to my little party that has gotten SO BIG!}

Seeing all of the creative ideas UCreate gets me inspired to create some more, too!

{I’m afraid I’m going to have join Craftaholics Anonymous or maybe it’s hopeless, I may just be

Mad in Crafts! ;) } Of course, with the ups of blogging there’s a few downs.

It does take a lot of time, it’s not as Simple as That. Yes, blogging is hard work!

I’ve even thought about trying to recruit my 5 sisters to become “Six Sister’s Stuff, TOO”!

{Do you think they’d go for it?? :)  We could all take turns staying up until 2 am blogging! :)}

I have definitely become a Mommy by Day, Crafter at Night.  Good thing I’m good at

Night Owl Crafting!  I’ve also found many, many Reasons to Skip the Housework!  {Whoops!}

My home does not have as much Delightful Order as it once did, but I’m working on that.

I’m trying to find a balance…I’m trying be better at Keeping it Simple.

{So where do I go from here?}

I’m not sure.  I started this blog 6 months ago as just something fun to do!

{My goal was to have 100 followers in a year!  So yes, I’m amazed at the support!  Thank YOU!} 

It’s fun receiving kind comments, meeting all of you, answering your questions, hosting fun

giveaways, thinking of new crafts & post to write & learning new blogging tips & tricks.

It’s fun gaining a new follower who becomes a friend!

So yes, I’m beyond thrilled to be at this point in A Step in the Journey for my little blog. 

Hope you all will continue to follow along!

See you on Monday!

special guest {lil’ luna}

Saved one of my most favorite blogs for today!  Love Lil’Luna!  So excited to have Kristyn over today sharing some fa-boo-lous Halloween crafts. ___________________________________________________________________________

 

Hi There Ginger Snap Readers!

I am so happy to be here as part of Ginger's 1000 Followers Celebration! How fun and exciting is that?!  

  Well, my name is Kristyn and I blog over at Lil' Luna. I've tried to make it place where anyone can find fun and unique recipes, crafts, tutorials, printables and more! Come on over and say hi. :D   Today I wanted to show you some of my FAV Halloween Creations I've made over the past year. I hope you like them as much as I do! {Just click on the image below to see the tutorial}  

  Thanks again for having me Ginger and be sure to come on over and say HI!

special guest {sweetly made just for you}

One of my first blog friends was Emilee from Sweetly Made Just for you!  She is super sweet!  She is also super talented.  I’m always amazed at those who can knit & sew!  Wish I could! I have tried a little sewing…but knitting seems a little tough!  {OK… a lot tough!} So here she is….take it away, Emilee. :) ___________________________________________________________________________________   Hey bloggers...it's Emilee from "Sweetly Made (Just for you)." I was thrilled when Ginger gave me the opportunity to share with you my creations.   My love for knitting started in 2005 when I decided that it was time to learn how to knit. My grandma knitted all of our Christmas stockings and I knew that I needed to continue the tradition.   So, I asked my grandma if she would teach me and she was thrilled. Next thing I knew, I knitted my very first Christmas stocking for my niece Emma. I kept going...and knitted four more that year (with the help of Michaels since I had moved a few states away from my grandma).   I was on a roll!   I started my blog found {HERE} in 2007 and started receiving orders. I even designed some custom orders such as  

{Christmas Kitty}

{Sleeping Beauty & Cinderella}

{Snowboarder}

{The Grinch}

A friend told me about Etsy so I checked it out. I finally added my shop found {HERE}.

I haven't been too successful but I'm still learning and

I receive most of my orders through my blog.

Some of my Etsy creations are...

{Baby/Toddler slippers}

{12 days of Christmas}

{Button up Headbands}

{Women's hats}

{More button up headbands}

Overall, I love to knit. I have a passion to create.

And, my favorite thing to knit are Custom Christmas stockings

because they allow me to design a brand new stocking. Plus, it brings joy and happiness to other people's lives. And I know they will cherish them for a lifetime. Let me sweetly knit something "just for you." Thanks Ginger! I have a coupon code for all of your readers to use on any Etsy product. The code is Sweet10 for 10% off anything in my Etsy shop.   Have fun shopping!   (Note: The code is only for Etsy and cannot be used towards custom orders)  

giveaway {tinker b boutique}

I met Melanie from Reasons to Skip the Housework when I first started my blog.  She left a sweet comment inviting me over to her weekly link party, Tuesday Time Out. {I party there every week!}

 

Soon after I won a giveaway she was sponsoring on another blog, & I won 2 pendants from her cute little etsy shop, Tinker B Boutique.  My two girls were so excited to pick them out.  Cara chose this cute little pink one, and my daughter, Cailey chose one that said “Strength”.  Thought they fit them both perfectly.  :) {I even had to pick one out for myself & my sister…you can’t stop at 2!  Trust me!  They are so cute!}

Melanie has graciously offered to give one Ginger Snap Crafts follower a $20 credit to her shop!

Just check out the cuteness!  Love, love, love!!
