    March Giveaway

    Happy March Little Peanuts!! If you are new here WELCOME!! You will find that this is an amazing group of people. The Peanuts (that’s you now!) are supportive and caring! I’m your Head Peanut Connie.  This is a monthly giveaway. I always start with a brief blurb about my past month. Sometimes I have a TON to say. Sometimes I’m pretty boring. I live on top of a mountain in Sandpoint Idaho. I have a craft room that I never in my wildest imagination thought I would own. I swear it’s bigger than my 1st apartment!  The 2 sets of double doors look out at Lake Ponderay and it’s a STUNNING view!!  Not only am I blessed with this room and this view. I have deer that lick the door when it’s time for their corn ration of the day!! Wild turkeys, bears, and moose too. But they don’t lick the door. This month I’m working on sublimating more craft items for the craft fair. (TALK about branching out of my comfort zone!) I had several custom orders. One from Granddaughter Olivia that came out so cute. She wanted a pink daisy tumbler. Next was key chains for daughter Selena’s…

    February Giveaway

    Here is my monthly update before we get to the giveaway. January drug by! I think because it’s so dang COLD here in Sandpoint, Idaho. Which really means I spent more time in my craft room. Creative Time For Christmas my amazing children Selena and Zachary bought me the Cricut Mug Press. OHMYGOSH!!! I am beyond addicted.  I’m still working on getting colors and placements right, but DANNNNNNNNNG this is fun!! I can take a plain ole white mug, white tumbler, coasters, and magnets and turn them into THIS!!!! Of course all the pictures have disappeared. SORRY!! Yes, I Do Requests Granddaughter Olivia requested some new acrylic designs for her light. So I etched these on the Cricut Maker with the help of the etching blade. What I love about these blanks are they come with the stand, remote and a power cord but you can also use batteries. While I had the etching tool attached, I made a couple keychains too. While scrolling away on Instagram I saw this ADORABLE idea!! Welllllll that backfired. Selena immediately asked if I could cut out a stack of hearts. I was thinking more SHE could just hand cut them……… however, the Cricut…

They REALLY like MY STUFF!”) From The Craft Table I wanted to share some of the things I made for Christmas 2022. My craft room is always busy! I saw a video on HammonsNest to make a wall ornament or a plaque. Using $1 Tree items and they came out AMAZING!! I used the remaining tile to decorate a coffee can and…

  • December’s $50 Your Way Giveaway

    December Giveaway

    This is the last giveaway of 2022!!! Hard to believe that 2023 is only 31 days away. Holy Guacamole Batman this year went fast. BUSY MONTH! My November was busy. Between the emergency trip to California to a slew of medical appointments for The Husband, November went FAST! I didn’t even get to make everyone crazy by putting up my Christmas decorations on November 1st!! I feel all outta sorts because of it! As a matter of fact (get ready to gasp!) I gave serious thought to NOT decorating at all this year! I KNOW RIGHT?!?! Me the 3 different trees and a million different decorations.  Lucky for me The Husband pouted until I gave in and decorated on Thanksgiving Day. I can NOT be responsible for The Husband getting coal in his stocking because of all that pouting. So I decorated After the tree went up, I pulled out all the Christmas Craft projects.  Wooooo my craft room looks like a bomb exploded. There is not a single space left on any countertop, tabletop, or workbench.  The floor, I can’t even… I had to even move Winston to the top of my yarn basket. I don’t particularly like him…
