Showing Off

 Let's jump right into the fun of Showing Off from the link-up yesterday:

Simply Designing has a cute ball for New Year's - love it!:

At Second Street made bags with upholstry fabric - nice and sturdy:

Home Hinges tell us we can get rid of the decor we didn't use (seriously, I'm just like her - half my boxes are still filled with stuff I didn't put out this year - why do I think I need to keep it!?!?)


Yum, Taco dip over at Between 3 Sisters - we make this a lot and call it "Page 30 Dip" because years ago that's page it was in my mom's new recipe book:


Little Eme whipped up a cute monster softie - great job!

Potholes and Pantyhose made an arsenal of rubberband guns:

 

 Welcome Sunshine Home showed off these yummy chocolates - I like to make bon bons and now I need to!

Of course I had to show off these greeting snowmen over at Keeping It Simple because Kaysi was inspired by the ones I showed on this blog a couple of weeks ago - aren't hers cute?!? (check out her tutorial - the hats are made of gloves!)

Rae Gun Ramblings made this heart dress for a special little girl - love the details:

And since I started with a New Year's idea, let's end with one - - a banging drum, shown over at Sassy Sites:

Testing, Testing

Hello out there - - I've been tweaking my blog sizes so I can fit the pictures on as "x-large" if I want (have you noticed - there's such a jump from "large" to "x-large" - I wish there was a "mid-large" option - anyone want to relay that message to blogger for me??  while you're at it, I have the same issue with the text sizes "normal" and "large" - such a jump!)

Here's an extra-large picture (we eat breakfast Christmas morning upstairs in our bedroom to prolong the Santa anticipation - love it!) - I got it to fit, but I had to stretch all the white space on my blog.

So, can you tell me, am I cutting any of you off??  I still see plenty of the turquoise dot background, but I know on my mom's computer she sees less than me -  is there anyone out there who's screen can't view the whole main-area (where I write the posts, with a white background) on my blog??  thanks in advance for the input - - -

Take-A-Look Tuesday

So who won the spot on my sponsor sidebar??

Congrats Amanda!!

So have you gals been crafting, putting away decor, or just chillin??  I've been hard at work cleaning my craft room (remember the DISASTER it used to be??) - I'll share pics when I have it done - I'm close!!


Time to Take-A-Look at what you've been up to -  Can't wait to see what comes this week - and who will be the most viewed link - maybe you?

- - just a run down- -

• Link to a Specific Post, not your whole blog (to do this, click on the title of the post you want to link and it will open on it's own page, then copy that url)
  
  Please don't link up a post that you've already linked here before - since we've been getting so many linkups (great!!) let's keep it to a maximum of 2 links per person - thanks
  
  
  Grab my button below - you can post it on your post, on your sidebar, on a page of a list of link-ups, wherever.
  
  Try to visit a few other people on the list - it's fun to support and encourage fellow craftiness - and everyone LOVES comments

If you're new to link-ups and have questions let me know and I'll do my best to help
