Handmade Rag Quilts make the best gifts {High Boltage Quilting Review}

This post is brought to you by High Boltage Quilting.

Good morning! Recently I was contacted by Michelle from High Boltage Quilting about receiving one of her beautiful rag quilts. Michelle and her mom have made over 100+ handmade rag quilts that they have given away to friends, family members, coworkers and medical personnel. Now they have turned this wonderful hobby into a wonderful shop and are now offering their beautiful handmade rag quilts to everyone.

If you are not sure exactly what a rag quilt is, rag quilts are quilts that have exposed seams that fray when washed. This makes a rag quilt a very cozy quilt that's perfect to curl up in on the couch, lay on the ground outside in the sun or as a throw on in your bedroom. These quilts also make great gifts for new babies, weddings, or as gifts for the upcoming holidays. Let me tell you more about these beautiful quilts! (Just FYI, my daughter is in town this month, and I snagged my two grandsons for this cute rag quilt photo shoot!) :)

hello. goodbye. {announcement & giveaway}

Remember yesterday I told you about what I learned at Bloggy Boot Camp?
One of those things was having a plan & purpose for your blog & business.
Where do I want to be in 5 years?  What do I want to be doing?
This has been on my mind a lot lately.  As my blog has grown I’ve been given many amazing opportunities.  Buuut I have to realize that I can’t do everything.
Blogging/crafting takes a lot of my time.  Don’t get me wrong I enjoy it A LOT!
Almost too much! ha! For the past year & a half {in addition to the blog}
I’ve also been running an Etsy shop as well.  I have decided to close my shop.
I so appreciate all the support & my awesome customers. Thank you!

Mimi Baby Boutique {review}

Happy Friday, everyone!  I can’t believe the weekend is almost here! Yay!
One of the fun things about being a blogger is that sometimes I get
to try out fantastic products, & then let YOU know about them. 
Today I’d love to introduce you to the etsy shop, Mimi Baby Boutique. 

I need some guinea pigs. :)

I’m looking for 10 Ginger Snap Crafts followers who would be willing try out a set of my drinking cup labels from my etsy shop for FREE!!! {You’ll get 3 labels…any names you want!}

After you get them I’ll need you to apply them to some of your cups & then use them!  Please run them through the dishwasher a lot! The only catch is in 2 weeks I’ll be sending out an email to all those that participate with a couple of questions for you to answer about my product.  I want HONEST opinions!  So if you would be willing to help me out please leave your name & email address.  I’ll be getting back with the first 10 commenters with more details, to see what names you want for your labels & your shipping information on Monday!
