Happy Blogiversary!

Today is it!  My official one year Blogiversary!  What a wild ride it's been!  I have had so much fun creating and sharing projects with you, discovering many other wonderful projects and blogs all over the web, and "meeting" and "getting to know" some wonderful fellow bloggers friends along the way.  Every single comment, link, guest post, and feature has been so very much appreciated... thank you.

I have been wanting to clean up my blog's appearance for awhile now... and thought that today was an appropriate day to unveil my new look.... whaddya think?  I'm hoping that this new, clean and sleek Ready, Set, Craft will be easy to use, read, and share.  Please, let me know your thoughts... and feel free to grab one of my new buttons to post on your blog!

I must tell you that I was hoping to also unveil my finished craft studio to you today.  I was reeeeaaaallly hoping to... I mean, wouldn't that have been just a wonderful conclusion to the week?!  Unfortunately, I've been sick in bed most of the week, so I haven't been able to finish everything up.  I guess that just means there's one more reveal to look forward to, right?  Stay tuned for the finished craft studio... I am very excited about how it is coming along!

And now to the important stuff... the giveaways!  Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and entered Tuesday's giveaway for 250 Custom Stickers from UPrinting!  Drumroll please... the lucky winner (per the random number generator at Random.org) is...

LINDSEY WOLFE!

Congratulations to you!  Please drop me an e-mail at joanneroehm@yahoo.com so I can get you all set up to order your FREE 250 stickers!  How exciting!

And now, for a final hurrah, let's finish the week with a bang with another giveaway!  I'm very excited to announce...

I need to get my act together and come up with a new project (stamping, perhaps? hmmm!), but my favorite project this year was a fluffy dog bed that I made to keep our chihuahua, Daisy, warm in her crate!

I haven't been crafting much lately because I'm working on my new craft room in our new house. My fave craft in the past year has been the B-day invites and favors for my son's first B-day.

Congrats on the one-year anniversary!

I'm working on crocheting constantly... with a few birthday projects thrown in! :)

M.E. Greene said...

What a great birthday bash! :)My current project is that I'm working on some sweet little knit party favors for my blog party, and then hoping to dig into one of my other larger knit projects soon. I am really missing stamping... SO MUCH! I can't wait until June when we move back into a house and I have room for my stamp stuff again. Woot woot!

Carrie said...

I'm working on a bunch of craft projects right now, most recently covering old magazine holders in nice wrapping paper to update them for our new desk. I'm also working on updating a luggage rack for the guest room.

Thanks for the chance!

Hey!! I just found you through SITS...wish it had been sooner :) I don't know what the old blog looked like but I LOVE the new one, it's great!

I've been working on my computer room, that just became a computer room and I think that is probably my favorite project so far. Hop over and take a look.

My newest venture is finding ways to repurpose cute vintage pillowcases. You can make purses, skirts, little girl's dresses, etc. I follow you as well :)

Sue D said...

I just found your blog from Meg's--I came to see the cupcakes! I am always working on something crafty. I am part of a card ministry at church so I am always stamping cards (using many SU stamps too) and I also do a few Christmas craft shows at elementary schools for kids to shop for their families. Right now I am knitting crayon rolls but I also do a lot of stamped items for the craft show. Thanks for the chance to win!

I will be working on some file folder notebooks (using the file folders I ordered from Dawn's party). Hoping to give them to my friends as an Easter present. I also will be making more card & scrapbook pages. Oh so much to do and so little time to do it. I'm a follower & fan of everything you do. (Does that make me a stalker? LOL) Thanks for posting and have a great day!
