One Year!!

Giveaway closed! Thanks for your entries!

It has been one year since we started this blog & our shop! We can't believe it's been a year since we started this adventure and we have learned so much in the last 366 days! Tonight we celebrated with cake. :) We made a pink lemonade cake with lemon whipped cream icing. (Brandi will post the recipe later for your cooking adventures.)

We wanted to celebrate our first anniversary with you by having a little giveaway. We're going to make up a personalized State Tote and put some really great things inside of it and send it to the winner.

Our first personalized header.

We want to thank all our family, friends, and fantastic followers (alliteration, baby!) for everything you've done for us and with us this last year. Thank you for your support, strength, and love!

To enter please leave a comment below (or on the corresponding Facebook post) telling us your favorite place in the world along with your email address or some other way to get a hold of you. Brandi's is Animal Kingdom in Disneyworld and Meig's is Edinburgh, Scotland.

Good luck!!

Made it Monday

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a fun and crafty weekend. I had a babysitter Saturday and me and the hubby sat around and watched movies, it was great. I did manage to fit in some sewing time too.

I made this little zippy pouch for a friend, it matches her state bag.

This is something new I made, it holds a pack of wipes and a couple diapers and it zips up.

I have a store bought one made of denim and it turned out to be very convenient, especially after the bottle days when all I really needed to grab and go were wipes and dipes. This thing fits nicely in my large purse. I made this one for my cousin but I think I'll make some more because it was so fast and fun!

Just a reminder, this is week two of Project Recycled and I made it through! So today is a brand new set of projects, we all reused a shirt. Please go over to The T-Shirt Diaries and vote for your favorite project. You can vote once every 24 hours.

Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you all have a great week!

Thanksgiving Giveaway

We have been friends for 4 million years, and about 3 months ago we decided to start our own business. Ever since we met we've been tossing around ideas for our own businesses. Coffee shops, cupcakeries, crafty stores, you name it: we wanted to own it. We decided that since we love making crafts of all kinds, we'd share those with the rest of you so we opened our Etsy store: Crafty Girl Squared. 

Of course, we had to have a blog to go along with it. Not only do we have this blog, but we maintain our own blogs separate from this one. Since we opened our own shop and things are going well, we have decided that we're going to do a GIVEAWAY!! 

ONE lucky reader will win one of our I Love My State Bags! We will custom make it with the state (or country if you're an international reader) of your choice and put a sweet little heart over your city!

Choose one of the three fabrics and we'll customize it just for you!

Have fun and good luck!!
