Are You Ready For A Give Away?

by Summer M.

Contest is closed!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketIt’s Fall, Y’all! So says Shannon from Rocks In My Dryer. And to celebrate the autumn goodness she’s hosting a super give away. Bloggers from all over the web are signing up to give away free goodies to lucky commenters. I’m not one to pass up peer pressure so I had to join! I’ve got 2 fun creative books up for grabs. These are absolute treasures that I found collecting dust in my local thrift shop. But I am sure that with a little love they could become favorites for any creative and crafty mom.

craft books

Wouldn’t these make great additions to any craft lover’s bookshelf? Well I’m giving them away to one lucky person! All you have to do is leave a comment sharing your favorite creative online resourse. What site do you have to visit, what blog gets your inspired, what forum always has the best tips? I want to know where you go online to get creative! Leave me a comment letting me know from October 29th until November 1st. On November 2nd I will choose a random person to win both of these great books! I will also share a list of all the great online resources everyone shared. It’s a win-win!

Also if you are a homeschooling mom or are thinking about it check out my book give away at Mom Is Teaching.

    I’m a die-hard googler…and I usually Google whatever I’m trying to find so the sites I visit are typically all different.

    I do like the family fun site, they have some great selections for including the kids, and I’m a member of the Home Arts club, if only I had time to craft!!!

    Learning to make candles is on my list of crafty things to do, so this book would be a great help!

    I’m blogging about this today, too. :-)

About Creative Mom Cafe

Creative Mom Cafe is the place to come and try your hand at something you thought you could never do or to get an idea you would never have had on your own. Most of the ideas I bring to 'the Cafe' are simple and for the creativity-challenged but every now and then I will throw in a doozie for those of you who are waiting for it. Every month will have a theme and all ideas that month will tie in to that theme. It may be fun recipes for kids, a scrapbooking idea, an organizational tip or anything else that is in my head that month. I invite you to send your photos of projects you have done and at the end of the month I will highlight one or two "fan" projects! Thanks, stop in the Cafe as often as you can!
