What I'm Gonna Make Plus Blog Design Giveaway!

I'm discovering a side of me I never knew my soul possessed. I never, in a million saw myself as domestic... Eh, ok I still don't. But I'm slowly, day by day becoming more of a domestic diva.

I've always had an interest in fixing and assembling things, so perhaps that's what intrigued me to make curtains for baby girl's room, and refinish and personalize a wooden toy box I scored of Craigslist for $20.

Sanding, paint, new hinges... No problem! I love the feeling of accomplishment it gives me. Plus, knowing I saved a HUGE chunk of money by doing it myself makes it all more than worth it.

So, tomorrow, for "What I'm Makin(g) Monday" I'm going to show you how I learned how to make tutus for less than $3. You can even do it without sewing!Have you made something lately? Be sure to link up tomorrow and share it with me cause I LOVE finding new things to experiment with. I'll even do a tutu giveaway for one lucky participant!
What I'm Making Monday
Speaking of giveaways. My adorable new button for "What I'm Making Monday" was created by my blog designer and friend Danielle aka The Design Girl.

She's designed my blog and she's recently gone scrapbook designer as well, plus she makes all sorts of things like baby shower invites (she made some of mine), stationary and more!
Are you a digital scrapbooker? Check out her shop! She's having a HUGE sale this week for national scrapbook week!

And a special for my readers! The first 5 people to buy something from her shop get a $3 credit! use code "babymakinmachin". Gotta use it by May 8th! There's a couple of freebies in there too, plus with the sale most things are less than $5, so go check it out! Here's some of her samples.Since she has so much you can choose from we're not going to limit you to what you can win. The winner of this giveaway gets $40 toward her services! There's soooo many things to choose from: Blog makeover, stationary, buttons, and more!

{{{To Enter}}}
Visit her website and tell me what you'd like to get with your credit, or something specific you like that she's designed. None of your entries count unless you do this!

With my $40 credit, I would probably use some of it to go towards a cute background for my blog and maybe a better button. I love the one I created myself, but I know that a professional could create one that's even better. Already following both of you guys on twitter and here.
