Here it is, friends: the Craft Hope book giveaway. To enter, leave a comment telling me your favorite craft, be it painting, scrapbooking, sewing, underwater basketweaving, etc. If you are reading this on my Facebook, please click over to yeebird and leave your comment on my blog.
The giveaway will close Wednesday, September 8 at midnight, with results posted on September 9. Winners will be chosen at random (in other words, Ian will pull a name from a hat).
Also, check me out here!
And one more thing--Dana Willard of MADE is doing a giveaway of the Craft Hope book too, so after you enter here click over to her spot (if it is not posted there yet, try again later today) and enter again.
Now, a few photos of this morning--Lilly's very first day of preschool. I'm not sure if she was excited . . .
As for the obnoxiously huge tulle hairbows . . . last night I asked Lill, "What do you want to wear on your first day of school tomorrow?" Lilly replied, "Um, PURPLE." And there ya go. So, when we parked this morning, she said, "I need to get out and go show everyone my hair." She is an absolute TRIP. I love it!
When we arrived it was pretty much, Mom and Dad WHO? Cool.
Remember to leave a comment to win. Happy Thursday.
Adorable pics.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those bows.
I'm off to draw, cut, sew, paint and paste.
I guess mixed media is my thing these days.
I left my heart at the elementary school this morning.
Lots of tears from my baby.
More now from Mommy.

Purple? That was the color Romans class or preschool rather was supposed to wear...lovely! can bows ever be too big? really? I cant believe her hair is that long and what great pics you got of her...as always;) We drew stick people w sidewalk chalk in our front driveway this morning...does that count?;-) xoxo amyb
ReplyDeleteShe is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love all things crafty. Anything I can make with my own two hands makes me happy :)
Love those hairbows. Bigger is better! =)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafts are scrapbooking and sewing.
Hair bows... adorable! My girls would love them.
ReplyDeleteAs for my favorite craft... depends on what I am in the mood for. I like my off the cuff ideas that come to me in the middle of the night that I have to start on the next day. Anything from things to hang on the walls, to a fake fireplace that I made last Christmas because we don't have a real one.
They grow up so fast!!! My favorite crafts are scrapbooking and quilting. Wish I had more time for both!
ReplyDeleteLilly looks adorable! Preschool...is that possible?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE scrapbooking and sewing. Now, if I could find a way to produce more time I would be set :)
Pre-school, such a huge step for both parent and child! It is one of my favorite stages.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafts are those I can finish :) I love to scrapbook and paint. I would also really love to learn to sew better. I have the basic concept, but I'm a little intimidated by it. I can't wait to see the craft book!
I LOVE LOVE the purple hair bows! You can't beat that!
ReplyDeleteI love learning to sew (I am trying!) and paper crafts (I made my son's birthday invites last week that I was super excited about!).
Scrapbooking is my favorite hobby. I'd love to win this book! Please enter me.

Love your blog! Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas and precious family moments with us!
ReplyDeleteI like all sorts of crafts--my friend recently introduced me to stamping/card making! Those are fun to mail, make as gifts, etc.
Love the hairbows!! Super cute.
ReplyDeleteI love to make homemade, organic dog treats and decorate cute jars with pawprints and ribbons to give away to other puppy mothers like myself. Is that considered crafty or culinary? Or culinafty?
Love the look! She rocked it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite craft hmmm... I probably sew more than anything. (In fact I'm getting ready to try my hand at a Tim Gunn moment... "Make It Work"... A skirt I've never worn fits but looks horrible... I'm gonna cut into I think... if I can... I think I can... anyways!)
very exciting school year for your sweet family. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy sewing the most....or painting. crafty painting though, not artistic museum type painting.
Crafts........holiday specialties.......especially our handprints for my husband we make each year for Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all your exposure. And, I love the purple bows!
Wow, those purple bows were something! That gal is too cute.
ReplyDeleteFavorite craft...well, I like foodie crafts...although not intricate cake decorating. More fun things. I do like the usual crafts - painting, making cards, etc - but I am too much of a perfectionist and can never decide what to do. So I end up not doing much. I'm better with "here's some random items - make something cute."
Anyway...yay for your book! It almost inspires me to pick up sewing ;)
oh my goodness...she is so stinkin cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to pick a favorite craft??? hhhhmmm that is a toughie since I love to do just about all of them...but I would have to say paper crafts are probably my all time favorites...so lets give it up for scrapbooking and cards!!!
So excited for a chance to win your book:-)
My favorite craft? Making autumn banners out of fabric!!! I LOVE pumpkins!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to knit, crochet, make jewelry, rosaries, Christmas crafts with my kids and niece and nephew and of course, color with Evan, my five year old. Kim Otradovec
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of crafts in the Craft Hope book. Thank you, ladies, for helping disadvantaged children around the world through your abilities and creativity. Rebekah, Grandma's Bernina surely must have dreamed of being owned by you. Your caring heart, talent, and generosity have blessed many including me. Proud of you, sweet daughter.
ReplyDeleteMom
Was Lilly excited about her first day at preschool?? I'd say the look on her face in the photos says it all! She could barely contain her excitement! How cute she is. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a very "crafty" person as far as doing things myself but I love crafts and often have other people make things for me. I have ventured to do a few things over the years and the most meaningful was a wall hanging made with a spray painted frame, velvet covered backing with a heart in the center filled with pieces of my mother's favorite costume jewelry. I did this after she passed away and made one for myself and my sister. It is one of our treasured memorials to her.
Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite craft is cake decorating. I've been taking classes all summer long and I'm now hooked. Too bad those calories aren't helping me in the weight department.
i love to repaint rooms. Walls that is. Does that county for crafty...or is that just therapy?
ReplyDeleteI love to sew. thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved those purple bows! :) So girly and sweet and happy!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite craft is scrapbooking. I just started learning about it sometime ago and love making pages to store all my memories!
Thank you for the giveaway, I'd really love to try those crafts in the book!
Cool book! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love how kids are so fearless and indifferent to what others think of them - and their outfits! Go, Lilly!

I would love to be entered in the giveaway! It looks like an awesome book!
ReplyDeleteThose bows (and her smile) are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a paper crafter, but my mom got me a sewing machine for my birthday this year...and I love it.

My favorite craft is sewing, and this book would be a great addition to my collection!
ReplyDeleteashleylynnwybenga@gmail.com
I am not crafty at all....atleast I don't think:) I just really love what your mom wrote about you Rebekah, such sweet words and so true. Straight from the heart of a mom!!!! And congrats to Lilly....lookin cute as usual!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book, it is just so beautiful! My favorite "craft" is cold process soap making, although I see it as more of an art, so often craft becomes art doesn't it?
ReplyDeletemissavene at gmail dot com
I would love the book to inspire me as sewing is my favorite craft.
ReplyDeleteocean77ee@verizon.net
Sewing, definitely - I like knitting and crocheting, but it takes sooo long, and I can't handle glue, nor water paint ;).

Hi what a great blog, you have some of the most adorable kids. I am all for any type of crafting, as long as I can create. I would have to say sewing is by far my favorite.
ReplyDeleteFabulous hair bows x
ReplyDeleteI love doing all sorts of crafts but i think scrapbooking is my Number 1 x
Adorable pictures! Can't believe she is already in preschool!! Scrapbooking is my favorite craft, but I do love cooking, baking, photography and endless other crafts. I leave the "sewing" to my hubby! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hair bows - and you can't go wrong with purple! And my favourite craft is currently knitting, closely followed by sewing and scrapbooking. I'm not sure that crafty blog-following is a craft - but I'm pretty good at it too!!
ReplyDeletepick me! pick me! :)
ReplyDeletei love it all -- scrapping, sewing (messily), and painting murals.
love the bottom pic of u and lilly == gorgeous!
Happy 1st day of Preschool... another milestone.
ReplyDeleteLOVE to sew! But can't rule out so many others... knitting, card making, baking, the list goes on and on. What a great book to add to the collection. Thanks.
Favorite craft.... gardening and sewing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite craft is sewing. Even though I'm just a novice, I still enjoy creating. My close second would have to be painting with my kids. I love that abstract art that 3 year olds make!
ReplyDeleteSara B.
Oh my gosh. How cute is she!! Gotta love a kid who responds to the question of 'what do you want to where tomorrow?' with a simple, "Purple".
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of crafting for a cause! Simple and effective.

Hmm..I have tried a variety of crafty adventures... painting, counted cross stitch, embroidery, feather tree making (no joke), wool rug hooking... currently enjoying playing with pretty paper.
ReplyDeleteBut underwater basket weaving--must add that to the resume.
SO PROUD of you friend :)
