So, uh, that last post?  The one about the paint colors in the Utah Jazz mural?  I thought I’d saved that as a draft, not published it.  I was doing some de-junking and wanted to throw out the paint chips.  Instead of writing them down and creating another piece of clutter, I saved a draft.  Or published them for all the world to see.  Whatever.

Now what I really meant to post about today:

The super super super nice and super super super cute Cheri over at I Am Momma Hear Me Roar is having a contest (with prizes!) for boys shirts/jackets/vests/tops.  Have you made one recently (as in, since February 28th)?  Have you embellished one lately (as in, since February 28th)?

GO HERE TO LINK UP!

And the judges?  They’re FABULOUS.

Once upon a time, when I had my 4th kid, I decided that I had some insane sewing skillz and that I was going to slipcover a chair for the nursery I bought a Jennylund chair from IKEA and a plain white slipcover ($29) to rip apart and use for pattern purposes. Then I spent approximately 5 hours carefully seam rippering (totally a word) the sucker apart and taking copious amounts of notes and pictures as I went so I could get it all back together correctly.

Disaster in the making? Eh…it actually turned out pretty great, probably because my mom was helping and talking me down from the crazy.

But when I posted about it, I said I probably wouldn’t do it again. And I didn’t. IKEA did. See?

What’s my point?

I suspect the experience wouldn’t have been nearly as traumatizing if I were Shelley.

Or even if I was still just me but I had put my cash towards her DVD instead of a slipcover to rip up and Happy Meals for the kids because I spent 5 hours with a seam ripper instead of cooking dinner for them.

Let’s take a look at some of Shelley’s awesomeness, shall we?

I LOVE that Amy has products to sell that donate to various charitable causes like Designs That Give Back and Maggie Lee…For Good. I like the create charm, the penny for your thoughts necklace, and the life is a journey bracelet. If I had that gift certificate, I’s definitely get a Maggie Lee charm and probably the airplane necklace from Designs That Give Back. That way I’d have something that would also mean that someone else benefits, too. Anne, yourmainestamper
