Well, it's the end of SYTYC for me. This week I got creamed, pulverized, bamboozled, slaughtered, taken to the cleaners, they waxed the floors with me... so I think I'm 5th place crafty! :) I'm fine really, just thought I'd make it sound a little more dramatic!
Since I knew I was in the bottom all week, I've been putting my energy into some other things that you'll hear about soon...
- Planning two super exciting family vacations and the crafts that will go along with each!
- Planning an old-school pajama party-style lingerie shower for one of my best friends
- Dreaming about how to decorate Owen's big boy room that he will soon be in (we said goodbye to the paci this week, a bitter-sweet time for mommy and daddy too!)
- Researching ads for my blog... yes, I've thought long and hard about it and after some good pep talks from my friend Jill, I'm taking the plunge!
What a fun journey this competition has been! I've been crafting since December, so there are a lot of good memories and a lot of not-so-great memories (like my 5 crafts that were started and trashed and my teeny tiny window of crafting time due to the pregnant ickies)! I had a total blast being pushed each week to come up with something new. I've made a lot of great friends with my ridiculously talented competition and you all were so encouraging last week with all of your sweet emails and comments! Thanks!
Let's take a look back. (Cue cheesy sad music)

looks like a great list! go for some ads, why not?!
Instead of the sad music, let us play some joyously rising notes for you are now free to do your own crafting!
I adore you. I loved them all and I can`t wait to see what you do next.
I'm going to miss you! I LOVE your new header!!! LOVE IT!!!
Love your new blog look - does the ad mean you were accepted in martha's circle? (because if so, yay!)
I'll miss seeing your stuff on SYTYC. You were my favorite crafter of this round.
you're awesome Sarah! You don't need to win the SYTYC competition for us to know that you're the best! ;)
aw, i actually liked the whole potato stamped stationary...it looks really cute.
Congrats for making it this far though!
Hey, I gave your this award because I think you really are a beautiful blogger.

Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks for the encouragement y'all!
Jill, I'm still waiting to hear from Martha's Circle.
Lila Jo, Thanks so much for the award! I have had a crush on my hubby since 7th grade and it wasn't until late high school that he realized I existed, so I'm totally with you on that one! :)

Oh my gosh I love the book birdhouses. I am mad for birds and bird houses at the moment. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job Sarah! And I'm still in love with that Mailman bag. Hold your head high!
And YES....I agree with Swati's comment....you are now FREE! :)
