Prizes!

I was so excited to find out I won a big ass Beach Body prize from the Broke Ass Bride. I didn’t even enter but won just for signing up for her newsletter a while back. I am venturing into writing some DIY content for a bridal site so I ran around and signed up at wedding blogs for inspiration and my name got plucked and boom I won!

I am very familiar with Beach Body DVDs because I have all of Shaun T’s and  I totally have a crush on him.

Yea for me and my new workout gear and tons of DVDs! Ok let’s get moving.

Bad Spellers

That’s me!

I can not spell and I always tell my students that we all have talents, I have many, but spelling is not one of them. My Dad can’t spell either and he writes music, poetry, journal entries and he also substitute teaches as a hobby in his retirement. So I’ve always told myself it is an inherited trait that can’t be helped.

When I came across this article in the New York Times entitled The Price of Typos By VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN and I saw this written in her piece I knew instantly it was a quote I would live by.

Bad spellers are a breed apart from good ones. A writer with a mind that doesn’t register how words are spelled tends to see through the words (s)he encounters — straight to the things, characters, ideas, images and emotions they conjure.

I like to think I am exactly that – well said!

T-Shirt Yarn Kits – Getting Noticed

I had to post a link to Mary Lou and Whimsy Too, who wrote a sweet piece about my t-shirt yarn instruction kit. Mary Lou, I want to see your necklace posted on the Flickr Group: T-Shirt Yarn – get to it! Happy Crafting.

Here is the necklace she is referring to in the post, made by the kit publisher, Carrie Bloomston of Suchity Such for the show.
