Our First Giveaway!!!
Ok, folks…We’ve reached our 100th post and it’s time for a little giveaway! We’re still in our humble beginnings, sponsoring our own giveaways and all, so we’re keeping it low-key with a book. But, if you’re looking to be inspired then you’ll definitely want to get in on this giveaway.
I love this book by Alicia Paulson (from Posie Gets Cozy). A few of my favorites from the book are the sleep-over pillow (on the back cover), the fabric growth chart, and the photo memory game (featured in this post). But truly, there are so many lovely things to make here, I can hardly keep myself from picking it up and looking at it every chance I get.
But you really just want to know how to enter, don’t you?
Here’s the deal: I love posting links to tutorials and inspiring projects, but am limited by the fact that I don’t have every single crafty blog or mommy blog on my reader. I do have an impressive amount of subscriptions, but I’m greedy…I want more! So what I want you to do is check out the Crafty List on my right sidebar and tell me who I’m missing. What blogs inspire you? Who is out there creating projects that you think should be featured here? Leave a comment and gimme some links!
Your comment is your entry into the giveaway. And if you really can’t think of any links to send me, just leave a nice little comment saying how much you love One Crafty Place. 😉
Want to earn a second entry? Link to me! Either in a post (whatever little blurb you want to put together) or on your blogroll. Just tell me in your comment that you have linked to me so I can check it out and I’ll add another entry for you.
Please only one comment per person. If you have more than one link to share, just pack ’em all in to one comment. If you post a link to me AFTER you already commented, shoot me an email and I’ll get you counted twice.
International readers are welcome to enter. Contest ends at midnight Pacific time on Saturday, March 7. I’ll announce the winner on Sunday.
Any questions? Send emails to onecraftyplace(at)gmail(dot)com.
Good luck!

I am just getting into crafting sites, so I don’t really have any ideas for you! I have been enjoying One Crafty Place. 🙂 Thanks!
I enjoy your blog–my only suggestions that I didn’t see on your list are http://www.cheekymagpie.com/ and http://www.craftstylish.com/
Love your blog and so excited it is your 100th post! I think you should add http://www.chicaandjo.com to your crafty list. I just finished making my own version of the lampshade they created recently and it has gotten rave reviews from everyone who walks into my house! http://www.chicaandjo.com/2009/02/03/cricut-lamp-shade/
You have one of my blogs, CROQ zine, but not Dollarstorecrafts.com… which is awesome if I do say so myself! 🙂
happy 100th post One Crafty Place! I truly enjoy your treasure trove of the coolest and cutest crafts! Have linked you to my blogroll!
Oh! http://www.skiptomylou.com is great, too!
Check out http://www.ohbrooke.net. She writes a fun blog that is a mix of fun design ideas and DIY Crafts. She just bought a new home and is showing how she’s decorating it herself. Definitely some fun things to check out and a few giveaways as well.
Congrats on the 100th post!
I recently came across your site and really enjoy it. That is an impressive list of links on the side!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Congrats on getting to the 100th post! I love the ideas on 5orangepotatoes http://5orangepotatoes.blogspot.com/ She has endless knowledge and enthusiasm for exploring the world with her children.
I LOVE One Crafty Place.
And I would love to have Alicia’s wonderful book for my very own!
I had SO enjoyed One Crafty Place! It is one of my first stops on my blogroll, in fact! And as for crafty blogs that inspire me…well…the list is really too long. But a couple of them would be:
Nini Makes–ninimakes.typepad.com
and
(did I just miss it in your sidebar? You should DEFINITELY put it up there!)
Posie Gets Cozy–rosylittlethings.typepad.com.
Her book looks like so much fun! Thank you for the neat giveaway!

I just found this website the other day and I’m back for a second look since it is such a great site! I came here from Whimsy Love…but you have that in your list already, of course!
I just discovered your website and really enjoy what I have seen so far. I can’t offer any new blog suggestions but I will be checking into some of the ones on your current list. Thanks.
Congratulations on 100! So many of my favorites are already on your list and in the other comments too. I also like:

I look forward to the expanded list and all the fun that will come from it. Happy celebrating and thank you!
Congrats!!!!
I’m a fan of Inchmark (even though you already have that one listed) and Wise Craft. (And, of course, you!)
I would love to win this book. My favorite crafty link is Wardrobe Refashion. It’s so much fun to take something old and make it useful again.

Hi
I always go to thelongthread.com and visit the site which links to others crafty blogs.
Another I like to see children project is the Crfty crow from Bella Dia.
Kiddio is a great site.
http://www.kiddio.com
I love http://blueyonder.typepad.com/, probably because the crafts/activities, etc are definitely on the boyish end!
I just discovered your website…. I came from http://chicaandjo.com. I discovered that one on a post card in a craft store on Sanibel Island, FL. I have always been a crafter but I now have a “crafty” grand daughter and my searches have taken a new direction. Your site definitely fits my new interest!
