It's not that I don't cook, it's that I don't like to cook because I don't have that instincts that you all have. I can't eyeball it or make substitutions. I must use a recipe and follow it exactly in order to produce something edible. Clipboard Cafe creates these gorgeous recipe books so I can do just that. You might be less of a slave to the recipe book than me but everybody needs a place to organize their favourites. The absolute brilliant part of these recipe books is you can use it to gather recipes from guests at a bridal shower or even recipes from your students if you are teacher. Brenda, the very talented creator of these recipe books, makes a lot more than what you see here. Check out her shop here. Who wants one? Like this post on Facebook or comment below. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck.

Amelia Furman is a mixed media artist and the creator of these handmade alphabet magnets. She is the kind soul that sent me two other items, seen in the photos below, to give away to you. If I am being honest, she said I could choose what I would keep and the others could be used for the giveaway and I know I should part with these magnets but I just can't do it. I am all upside down on these reviews now because shipping the prizes from Canada is costing me a fortune so just this time I am going to keep the special prize. I love, love, love these magnets and they are displayed on my fridge so nice and orderly right now. I hope the children do not notice them too soon because then they will be in disarray of misspelled words on my fridge, like I can handle anymore chaos. I kid, of course, kinda. The children can play with them, while I supervise. I know you want them, too, but these puppies are mine. That is not to say you can't order your own set, right here. Furthermore, they are way underpriced! I am trying to think of a better combination than sweets and jewelry. Maybe a book and a nap or wine and more wine? Nope, while those things are wonderful TADAM Designs combined my two greatest loves, outside of wine and books and naps, of course. I am dieting, as usual, so this calorie free little gem is the ideal gift for me. Maybe the occasion is your anniversary, or a birthday or maybe it's just Tuesday. I am rocking the bagel right now and I love it. This is not a tiny little piece of jewelry. This is a statement necklace and today I am stating my love for carbs. You must understand this is not silly costume jewelry. These are finely made handcrafted works of art from high end materials. Your jewelry box needs one. Therapics creates these amazing visual schedules for our kids. I don't know about you but our Kate is extremely visual. She uses language expressively because she must but receptively she takes it all in through her eyes. I am pretty sure she is going to an amazing artist someday, or a lefty with heat (That's a baseball reference, by the way). Either way, she will be great. While we work towards her double career as visual artist/closing pitcher, we will use these visual schedules on a daily basis. My hand drawn scribbles have nothing on this weekly planner kit. This kit helps Kate predict her day and her tomorrow which is a concept so very difficult for her to under. The lovely and talented creator of this weekly schedule sent me one to give away to you. It is so helpful I sincerely wish I had one for everyone of you. You know what to do. Little Red Birdie is one talented little seamstress. I expected a sweet pencil case for a handful of pencils but I got a pencil case worthy of my sharpie collection and that is no easy feat. These are so well made and lined on the inside with a fabric just a chic as the one on the outside. I am absolutely desperate for Crafty Sassi, as this seamstress is know, to make me curtains. Do you hear that Sassi? I want four panels in this fabric or this or this. Can you make them reversible? And Can you bill my husband and write "Power Bill" on the invoice? I have one for you but I am having a really hard time giving it away because my highlighters would fit so nicely in it and the geometric pattern is so trendy right now and...okay, I will stop talking myself out of it. Who wants it? You know what to do. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Crazy Dog T-shirts has recently inspired much of my writing. I like their wit and wisdom. I like how they can say 'it' in five words or less. I am working on that. If you need a laugh, scroll through their shop. I am always afraid to order t-shirts online because the cheaply made ones make me insane. You know the ones; they are stiff and the don't move with you. If you turn over in bed your t-shirt traps you. What? Like you all wear proper pajamas?! I was not surprised to find that these shirts are the good stuff The soft, wearable stuff that puts them in the top drawer. Want one? I know you do. I'll be sporting "World's Okayest Mom" this weekend but I have the real deal for you. "World's Greatest Mom" in hot pink for one lucky 'liker'. I love these so much! I can't even articulate a decent or witty review except to say MOVE OVER otterbox Bark Accessories is coming through. I know you like your rubber phone case because it is supposed to be indestructible. I get it, I do. But why must we always sacrifice form for function? Bark Accessories is going to put a stop to that. Protect your phone and have a cool look, too. I had to give one to my husband and the other is for one of you, so I am forced to order one here for myself. I know, I know, my kindness overwhelms me, too. I am telling you this case is high end. Even the packaging is chic. In an ideal world we would not judge each other based on the cases on our phones but in this 'hello kitty diamond encrusted plastic phone case' world in which we live, I need some way to find my people. Who wants one? Are there any nerds among you? Nerd Mart Customs hooked me up with a handmade old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Bracelet. I have really never looked cooler in Kate's eyes than I do right now. Receiving a package of goodies from this shop made me wonder what your guilty nerd pleasures could be. We all have them don't we. Some more than others, I guess. I have a few. Here are mine in order of importance: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Batman (but that could be a Christian Bale thing, because *swoon. Tell me your list. There might be some Nerd Mart Custom Creations in it for you. Alli's Studio designs some of the most extraordinary items. I can't tell if I am unbelievably impressed or righteously jealous of her digital talent. I want everything in her shop. You're right I probably don't need wedding invitations but they are so whimsical. I do however need this, this and this one, for sure! This chic little shop is going into my favorites. Do you love these chalkboard labels for your kitchen canisters and spices? Do you want them? You know what to do. Preppy, Boho, Lily Pulitzer: all terms I gravitate toward. No surprise then, that I approached Marina's Closet and begged for some of her goods. Do you know why I am always locked out of my classroom? It's because my lanyard was ugly as sin. I can't be wearing that when young minds look to me for guidance. So, it was with great concern for the fashion conscience of tomorrow's youth that I requested some cute lanyards and hair accessories from Marina's Closet. Do you share my passion? Do you need a fashionable lanyard and a chic headband to set an example at your workplace? Like this post on Facebook or tell me why and you'll be entered to win. Contest closes in twenty four hours.
