Nancy Drew: Get a HOT clue!

This Giveaway is Now Closed.....thank you and check this blog for a new giveaway coming soon!

“If worry were an effective weight-loss program, women would be invisible.”  --Nancy Drew

I have joined the Nancy Drew Blog Hop (Yes, my Sister made me do this too...) and today I am showing you a HOT clue!

You know how every time you go on a trip, it seems right before you get ready to pack your curling or flat iron, you just have to fix one more unruly piece of hair?  And then you try to figure out how to pack your iron without melting something or burning your favorite blouse??

 Well check out this HOT clue and worry no more!  I found the tutorial for this fabulous little tote at Sew Sweet Blog 

 There is enough room in it for your flat iron plus another iron of your choice and check out the cool tie to keep your cords under control.

 
I hope you will go check out the tutorial, and I believe Sew Sweet also has an additional U-tube tutorial for this tote......

And I would also like to offer you, my followers, the chance to win your own Nancy Drew Charms (all the ones I had left) plus some pretty fall and spring charms from my stash............just leave one comment letting me know you are a follower..............Mr. Random will pick a winner on March 15....at the end of the blog hop and I will announce the winner on Saturday, March 16.

Now without further ado I, first, want to thank Madam Samm and Carol for taking us on this fun little sleuthing trip, and also want to invite you to check out the other blogs participating in the Nancy Drew Blog Hop today.  Please check out these pages for more Nancy Drew Clues!

Americana Who???

“ Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. ”― Will Rogers


You all have heard me talk often about how my Sister "Makes" me do stuff.....but here's yet another.....well, actually two more things.....but I digress..........

 Well first of all she talked me into entering the Nancy Drew Blog Hop.....and I'm all done with what I made but I can't show ya'll til March 6.........

But next......I kept talking about making a tablecloth out of the little neighborhood House Squares I showed you on my last post that I won on Beth Shibley's Neighborhood Block Party......

My Sis reminded me that I still hadn't finished my Americana Tablecloth that was in my UFO pile.......(she quickly followed that remark with a reflection of how many things she still had in her UFO pile).............well anyway.....I don't know why but I pulled the Americana Tablecloth out and actually finished it!

  

 Tada!

So now my table will be ready for all the patriotic holidays this year!

Ah....I got some nice mail this week from one of my swap partners, Sunny...............look at this adorable Valentine Mug Rug.............such pretty pinks and love the eyelet ribbon.......

 

Sunny also included some Biscotti (which didn't last long) and some pretty heart buttons and a lovely handmade card.....Sunny and I had talked about how we remember making homemade cards ("Balentimes") when we were growing up and exchanging with all our little school friends..... Thanks, Sunny I love it all and, Yes, I will be your Balentime...

Ok.....one more thing before I go.........a sneak peek of my Nancy Drew Project and then I will say Ta-Ta for now................

 BTW....if you are interested in signing up for the Nancy Drew Blog Hop just click on either of the photos above......I believe there are still openings!  Ok then....see you next time........
