Day 2~ Computer Desk

Sooooo.....my computer desk is everything lol. It's not only my computer desk but my craft desk as well. It gets messy quick and when I mean quick I mean it! I can spend hours cleaning it and gosh it can get messy in oh the same amout of time it took me to clean it or less! Its not a normal desk more like a fold out table that I use as a desk, but it does the job that I need it to do.

So here is my before picture:

It took me awhile to get this under control! Hard to do it when I have a 3yr old who wants to stand in the middle of my mess, lol.

Here is the after:

I am soooo glad that my desk is cleaned and all pretty. Now I can actually work on here nice and comfortable!

Day 1 ~ Organizing the Junk Drawer

Well I actually started this yesterday and got caught up to the most recent. Yay me!! I am extremely happy to be doing this challenge as I really do need all the help I can get!

So day 1 was to do your junk drawer....well I dont have a junk drawer because I don't have much space in my kitchen for one. I do, however, have a junk closet, junk bookshelf and a junk front door table! So that is what I did!

I totally forgot to take a before picture of the closet, lol. I did however take a picture of it as I was getting it nice and done. So my closest I had coats off the hangers and just laying all over the place, lol. I organized it so stuff was not falling on you as you opened it up, lol.

This is what my book shelf looked like before:

My 3yr old loves to help decorate it with putting books all over the places and what not, lol.

Here is the after:

Now the table in front of the door that is our "Catch All" for the hubby, so it gets OUT of CONTROL! Here is the before:

Here is the after:

I forgot to take a picture of the drawer but it is all nice and organized, I promise!

I am so happy that these areas are nice and clean now, its so pretty!

21 Days to getting Organized!

One of my New Years Resolutions was to be more organized. I tend to slack off a bit and it was time to put thing in order in my life. So I am taking the 21 Day Organization Challenge from the "A Bowl Full of Lemons" blog. I will be posting the results of the daily challenges here daily. If your New Year's Resolutions was to get more organized then join us!

Mom Attack! ~~~ Other topic

So there is a group on Cafemom that I am in. We support mom who create handmade items and sell them. Every week a mom is choosen and we "attack" her, meaning we link her shop, purchase if you can, blog, or tweet about the shop. Its a great way to get traffic in and new customers.

So this weeks mom we are attacking is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/frecklesgalore stop by her shop and check out her items.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So where has the time gone? Can anyone tell me? I know I have been busy crocheting and going on trips, its just flown by. The New Year is creeping up on us and I have been racking my brain for new items to add to the shop to see. As always I would love to hear what you all would like to see. So if you have any ideas please feel free to let me know!

I am wanting to do a giveaway when we hit 275 fan on Facebook. It will be an item of your choice and possible a credit to the store. I have not yet worked out the details as well. Next week is my birthday and I am thinking about doing a discount, what do you all think. I want to get more people introduced to my items. Please share with everyone you know, I would greatly appreciate it!

So are you all ready for the New Year? Anyone know what their New Years Resolution is going to be? I know I sure dont. I hope you all are doing well!

It was a close one BUT......

We have a WINNER!!! There were three of you that where SOOO close and it was hard to decide the winner! Sorry its taken me a while to get on here to post who the winner was but I was having to deal with a very horrible headache and was very light sensitive for a few days. I am much better now as I can sit on the computer and write this post.

So are you all ready to know who the winner is? I am sure that you are since you all have been waiting to find out. Well my son weighted in at 8lbs 2oz and is 21 inches long. So I had my mom help me figure out who the winner was because it was a close call. So the Winner of this contest/giveaway is Jblunkall and their guess was 8lbs and 20 inches long. They were off by .2oz and 1inch for the babies height. So that's how we decided who the winner was. So Congrats to you!! You can pick ONE item you want from the shop here or if you see something on Facebook here. Send me an email at craftyjones1@yahoo.com with your name and address and what item you want in what colors.

So here is what the little munchkin looks like

200th Fan Giveaway!!

Sorry fans for my lack of Blogging! I have been nesting BAD!!! Any who like I said before if we got to 200 fans I would do a giveaway and we made it to the Day that I wanted to get to 200 by! I am super excited and I couldn't do it without you all! Thank you all so much!

As you all know I am scheduled to have my second child tomorrow via c-section and I am extremely anxious to meet him and welcome him to our family! I had my pre-op appointment this morning and we go to the hospital tomorrow at 6:30am! Wow that is just super early for me, lol. I have an estimate of what he will be weighting.

So here is the Giveaway/ Contest that I am going to do for you fans. Its SUPER easy! All you have to do is post in the comment how much you think he is going to weight and how long he will be! Only ONE comment per person! If you invite new fans to the page they can also jump in on this giveaway/contest as well! So I will give you a little bit of history to help you with guessing. I was an 8lb and some change baby and my husband was almost a 10lb baby. I am 5ft6 and dad is an inch taller then I am. Hopefully that will give you an idea. To my friends and Family you need to get your entry in TONIGHT if you are going to participate in this because I will be sending a text tomorrow when the baby is born so it would not be fair if you all posted your comment AFTER knowing the right information. So friends and family if you are going to jump in on this you need to post TONIGHT no exceptions! So just remember one comment per person. I will close this on Thursday the 23rd. I should be back home by then. Oh yes the winner will get to choose any item in the shower or anything that I have posted on the fan page of things I have made but not posted in my shop. Also if you are not a fan on my Facebook please fan me here

So fans lets get to posting what you think this baby will weight and his length!
