I’ve got another fabulous giveaway lined up for the weekend. It’s this weekend only, so be sure to stop in for a minute to enter.

I’ve been an utter failure at Pillow Week. Maybe next time?

Are you familiar with Chalk Ink markers?

How have I lived 35 years and never experienced them? I’m obsessed and I’ve got a couple of projects in the works.

Guess who has jury duty for pretty much the entire month of December! Hint: me.

I’ve got a shopping challenge over on the Crap I’ve Made Facebook page. Come on over, if you’re feeling helpful.

I’ve got some big plans this weekend that involve shopping at Pier 1.

Is it too early for Christmas? (43 days…holy crap!)

More about Pier 1 over the next couple of weeks. You’re REALLY going to want to stay tuned.

Scentsy Warmer Makeover

November 10, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 8 Comments

***Don’t forget to enter the Scentsy giveaway here.***

Emily sent me one of Scentsy’s DIY Warmers. Here it is straight out of the box.

Scentsy has a bunch of different theme packs (seriously…20+). However, given my current orange obsession, I decided to pimp my warmer on my own.

I busted out my Silhouette and started cutting.

I’m not thrilled with the circle-y border up top, but the good news is I can change it easily. I’m loving that I can change it up any time I want. I’ve got big plans for Christmas already!

Pillow Week

November 8, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 8 Comments

***Don’t forget to enter to win the Scentsy giveaway here.***

Are you familiar with Erin from House on Hill Road?

Hers is one of the first blogs I ever started reading. I’ve probably made a dozen of her twirly skirts…and I’m not exaggerating.

Erin’s hosting pillow week this week. And while I don’t think I can commit to a pillow a day, I do have a few projects in mind.

To kick things off, I whipped this up:

I used some of the same aqua linen I used for the round ruffle pillow way back when.

The monogram is flocked heat transfer that I cut out with my Silhouette.

Anybody got any great pillow tutorials they want to suggest?

Giveaway: Scentsy

November 8, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 843 Comments

Meet Emily. Emily and I have known each other (in the internet sense) for several years. She’s an Independent Scentsy Director. What’s that mean? It means she knows her crap!

Are you familiar with Scentsy? Bascially, Scentsy = smelly candles without the fire hazard (or am I the only one that can’t remember to blow those suckers out?).

(Prancer, the warmer of the month…10% off, in case you need it)

One time I really really REALLY needed an aqua colored warmer. I guess it had been discontinued? Emily found me one and had it on my doorstep in a couple of days.

They have these cute little new plug-in warmers, too…so you don’t lose any counter space. Heck, you don’t even NEED counter space!

Scentsy also has stuffed animals.

WHAT?!?!

(That’s what I said, anyway.)

Emily sent me one to ~~sniff~~ sample. You put a scent packet thing (total technical term) in the back and zip it up.

Bennett thinks he’s the boss of our frog (named Turtle), but he accidentally left it in my room the other night and the experience was quite pleasant. When I was awakened by BC’s RLS approximately 387 times, at least I had something nice to smell!

Emily also sent me a DIY warmer.

I’m going to fancy it up with my Silhouette and post the results later in the week.

So what’s in it for you?

Emily is going to be giving one lucky Crap I’ve Made reader:

A Scentsy Buddy: A cuddly companion for children of all ages. Each Buddy features a zippered pocket to hold delightful Scentsy fragrance. Just insert a Scent Pak and watch him (or her!) come alive with scent. From Roarbert the Lion to Penny the Pig, every Buddy needs a friend! Adopt a Scentsy Buddy for the child in your life (or the child in you). For children ages 3 and up.

You can adopt your Scentsy Buddy at http://scentsybuddy.com! They also have some fun games and downloads for your child. So cute!

And, she’s going to be giving another lucky Crap I’ve Made reader:

A Full Size Warmer* and 3 pack of Scentsy Bars of your choice: Make a statement in any room with over 60 full-sized Scentsy Warmers to choose from! Unique Scentsy warmers use a low-watt bulb to melt specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing its fragrance time. With no flame, soot or wick the Scentsy wickless candle system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy Fragrances.

*excluding the Patriot Collection, the Campus Collection and Charitable Cause Warmer

TO ENTER:

Click on over to Scentsy and have a look around. Come back and leave a comment ON THIS POST saying which warmer you’d choose.

ADDITIONAL ENTRIES:

“Like” Emily Andersen, Independent Scentsy Director on Facebook. Come back and leave a comment ON THIS POST saying that you did.

Click back over to Scentsy. Decide which 3 fragrances you’d choose and leave a comment ON THIS POST. You can do this THREE times, once for each fragrance.

That’s 5 entries and 2 prizes, so get to commenting!

***Giveaway closes Friday, November 12 at 10pm MST. Disclosure: I received a Scentsy Buddy and the DIY Warmer to review for this post. I enjoy Scentsy and use it in my home even when I’m not blogging about it.***
