Unity Blog Candy Giveaway From Two Pink Peas...
I am SO excited to sponsor this giveaway for you all.
A few days ago I ordered one of these from the
These make ADORABLE bows and you can see you are able to make several different sizes.
That is one feature that I really like alot. These are made out of Maple wood and made with the excellent quality that you would expect from Unity.
As you can see these are super cheap and only cost $3.99 and shipping is just under $3.00.
For those who don't want to wait to see if you will win one you can hop on over to the Unity Stamp Co. You have to chose an ippity chick before you can order one.
I would suggest Ippity Chick: Heather Flaherty. That is who I went with. I found her from a blog and entered one of her blog candy giveaway's. You obviously can pick anyone you want but if you don't know anyone who represents Unity then Heather would be a good CHICK to go with.

We Finally Moved Out Of Our House Update..
Well I never thought I would be posting about our family finally selling and moving out of our house so soon!
But thank goodness our house finally sold and this past weekend we moved out. Our house was on the market for a little over one year and there for a while we, well me really, did not believe it would actually sell.
Den my husband knew it would sell all along and he
would always reassure me every time I felt down about all
of the fruitless showings and especially
how long it was on the market.
In the 6 years that we have lived in this house I did not really realize how much stuff we have accumulated until we had to pack it and move it. Several months ago we packed up
half of our house to make it look a lot bigger for the showings and we put our stuff in a storage unit. After moving completely out this past weekend we now have 2 full storage units.
This is even after a few huge yard sales at Den's parents house. That is how much stuff we had.
Because of my recent knee surgery I was not able to do as much as I would have liked to. Den and my 13 year old son Casey did most of the work. Casey did such an amazing job helping his dad and I was so proud of him. Hallie helped me go through and separate my craft items. We had to take all of the items that could get ruined from the extreme heat like ink, paint, rubber stamps and items like that and we boxed those items up and took them to Den's parents house. I am so grateful that they let us keep those items in their house. As we all know craft items are so darn expensive and I did not want one thing damaged or ruined. I was so cautious that I took all my cricut cartridges and overlays and took them to Den's parents house. There was no way I was going to take a chance. I am sure they would have been ok but since I own over 200 plus cricut cartridges I was not going to chance it.
Bella, my yorkie-poo, was very stressed out while we were moving out. She kept running up to our master bedroom and when she would walk in and see it empty or even half empty she would whine and whimper. I felt so bad for her because this is the only house she knows. She would not eat and I had to pretty much force her to drink. The last day when we were cleaning up she got sick and she never does that. The good news is that Bella is doing ok now. In a million years I never thought that she would be so upset like that. The most important thing is that Bella is ok now and I feel much better.
The family that bought our house has 2 young children and our house is perfect for them. I hope they enjoy it as much
as we did. We have so many memories as this was the
very first house we bought.
Those memories can never be taken away from us!
So now the real fun begins. We can now start building our new house. Our family is obviously very excited! It should be done in about 3 months or so. We will be documenting every single step of the way and I will be sharing that with you all.
Thank you all so much for sticking with me and as soon as we move into our new house and my new Two Pink Peas Studio is all set up be prepared for tons of new crafts, cards, scrapbook pages and everything in between. I can't wait and it cannot come fast enough for me.. lol. Den designed my
Two Pink Peas Studio for me and it is going to be amazing!
But I wanted to give you all an update and let you all know that we finally moved out and are starting this new and very exciting chapter in our lives. Now that I am able to relax some I will be able to post my new giveaway from my new sponsor. My goal was to have it posted weeks ago but since we sold our house things went so fast that I literally had no time to do it. I really apologize for the delay! So stay tuned for that!
Until then...
Big Cricut Hugs To You All...
~Terri
P.S. The first photo above is Bella in our old living room. The second photo is Bella in our master bedroom. It looks so weird empty like it is. But it is time to move on to bigger and better things for our family!

Review Of 1st Episode Of TLC's Craft Wars
After the long and exciting wait for TLC's Craft Wars to air I have to say that I loved it. For those who missed it or for those of you who are not able to watch Craft Wars because it does not air in your area I will review each weekly show starting with this first episode.
First I want to start off with Tori Spelling. I thought she was an amazing host and I love her style all around. She is an avid crafter herself and has her own line of craft supplies. So when I heard that Tori Spelling was the host I really thought that she was the perfect choice.
The panel of judges are experts in crafting.
They are
Erica Domesek author of P.S I Made This,
Stephen Brown owner of Glitterville Studios and
Jo Pearson creative expert of Michaels.
The competitors are Cheryl Burchett from Knoxville
Each of the crafters were able to bring along one person of their choice to assist them. Two of them brought their husbands and Traci brought her dad.
This show reminds me of a cross between Project Runway and the Martha Stewart show only it is all crafts. Each week the hour long Craft Wars show has 3 different crafters. The beginning of the show the crafters have a timed craft challenge called the Pop Craft Challenge. The Pop Craft Challenge will narrow the 3 contestants down to 2. This is where it really matters because in order for the judges to decide which crafter will win the $10,000 prize, the 2 contestants will compete in a much larger master craft challenge where they have to craft and create a much larger craft project using themed materials.
For the 1st Pop Craft Challenge the crafters had 1 hour to create a duffle bag out of athletic gear. The supplies they had to use were footballs, baseballs and many other types of balls, cheerleading outfits, pom poms, tennis rackets, ballet slippers, karate belts and many other types of athletic gear.
The crafters also were able to utilize the enormous craft closet provided by Michaels. This craft closet is a crafters dream come true. It has every type of craft supply and tool you can think of. All I know is that I would love to be able to dive in this huge craft closet and just create and craft. If that was not enough there is also a wood working shop that they are able to use.
This is really a crafters dream!
All 3 contestants used cheerleading outfits as part of their duffle bags. They also were able to pick out fabric that was in the craft closet.
She used hot glue to attach it to the bag instead of sewing it. Jo wished that the tennis racket could be removed so that it could be thrown in the washing machine. But she felt that a teen or tween would love it. Erica, the last judge said "Rah Rah Siss Boom Blah" as her description of the bag. I think that sums up how she felt about this duffle bag.
Christy used beautiful blue chevron fabric, ballet slippers and a cheerleading outfit for her bag. She had her husband drill holes in 3 balls and threaded them through the handle. She also cut up a football and used parts that she painted blue to match her bag. It really looked beautiful and was a great detail. Of course the judges had different opinions about the balls and ballet slippers she used as pockets on each end of her duffle bag. The ballet slippers were just attached and not closed or made to look like a pocket. The judges thought it was a beautiful bag, a little too much going on but all in all they loved it.
I am not completely sure about that though!
and that is not much time.
I have spent more then 1 hour on cards before.
Surprisingly even though Cheryl's bag was not finished the judges felt that her bag was better then a poorly constructed bag that Traci made so Traci was eliminated and Cheryl was sent to the next round. I will say that I was so nervous for them and I was not even on the show. 1 hour to make a duffle bag out of materials you normally would not use is quite a challenge
but they did really well.
Christy wanted to make a school bus play house. She took all kinds of different yellow fabric and mod podged the entire bus. She also used composition notebooks on the doors of the bus and mod podged notebook paper on the inside of the school bus. Christy used chalk board paint and painted on the inside and outside in many places so that every wall was interactive for the kids. Christy had a huge apple shape cut out of wood and then added cork over the entire surface and painted it red so that it was an apple shape cork board. Really cute! She also took pink erasers and used them as door handles on the bus doors. It is almost impossible for me to tell you everything she added on her school bus play house. Even though Christy finished the entire bus the judges felt it was way too much going on especially with the scallop boarder that was added on the outside of the bus. The judges did not like that since there are no scallops on real school buses. Christy said she likes to add doodles and scallops everywhere. The judges felt it took away from the bus and there was no rhyme or reason for all the doodles. They wished there was continuity throughout her school bus.
Overall I felt she did a really great job and it was a huge
project to finish in 5 hours.
Cheryl wanted to make a classic little red school house. It makes sense since she is a teacher. Cheryl was very creative and made window shutters made out of rulers, window flower boxes made out of wood and she glued pencils over the front and added paper flowers with pencils as the stems. She added adorable curtains and made 4 huge pencils that looked like number 2 pencils complete with painted pink erasers on each of them. Cheryl's husband had some issues with the framing of their school house and for a minute it looked like her house was not going to be finished just like her duffle bag. Her husband corrected the problem and the school house frame went up and it started to come together. She painted the whole school house red and added other school type touches like a chalk board on the outside of the house. You could see a boarder of the alphabet across the rooftop of the porch which looked adorable. Cheryl grabbed a ton of composition notebooks and took the covers off and stapled them on the roof and it looked amazing.
Over all it was a very very cute school house that any child would love to play in. She was not able to finish the floor and the judges said that there was nothing inside for the kids to play with unlike in Christy's school bus. So who would the judges pick as the winner? It was a tough call and I really am not sure who I
would have picked myself.
So the bottom line is who won the $10,000?
The winner of the first episode of TLC's Craft Wars and the $10,000 grand prize was.....Cheryl.
I was surprised that the judges did not eliminate Cheryl for not finishing her duffle bag on the Pop Craft Challenge and especially since the inside of her school house was not completed I was not sure she could win but the judges liked the outside of her school house better then the whole school bus that Christy made. Overall I really liked the show and I can't wait for next week.
I would love to know what you thought about the show and if you felt the judges made the right choice picking Cheryl as the winner. Next week after I watch the show I will do another review and to
be honest I can't wait to see what happens next!
If you love crafting I would say to make sure you catch
TLC's Craft Wars each Tuesday at 10 pm EST!
Until then Big Cricut Hugs to you all!!

TLC Craft Wars Show Starts TONIGHT!!
I have been SO excited for TLC's Brand New Show
called Craft Wars!
As I am sure that most of you know that it starts tonight and it cannot air fast enough for me because I am that excited about it. The beautiful and multi talented Tori Spelling will be the host of this brand new show. We all know how much Tori loves to craft and she also has her own line of craft supplies. I think Tori will be the perfect host for this new craft show.
Above you will see some of the photos of the show.
Talk about having access to every craft supply available.
This is a crafters dream!
Who would not want to have access to the huge craft supply closet. I would LOVE to just look through it and see all the goodies that these 3 crafters get to play and create with.
It is so exciting.
Each week I will be posting and talking about each episode. We will talk about what the crafters made, all the craft supplies they have access to and anything and everything
in between.
What is so funny is that before I heard about TLC's Craft Wars show I was talking to my 11 year old daughter Hallie and we were talking about how amazing it would be if there was a craft show like this. It was really weird when I heard that there was a new crafting show called Craft Wars.
Hallie and I always watch shows like Project Runway and other shows like that. That is when it popped in my head.
We were even coming up with show names.
Anyhow, I know that Hallie and I are so excited to watch this new show and I hope that it is a success so that we will be able to watch future season's of this show.
After you watch this tonight I would love to know what you all thought about the show and anything that has to do with it. The only thing I was thinking was that should there be more then 3 crafters who are competing? I don't know yet but we will find out in a few hours.
So until then...I hope you all are able to watch it and we will talk later!
~Terri
P.S. I wanted to update you all on some amazing news. As most of you all know we have had our house on the market for a little over 1 year. Well it has SOLD! We are in the process of moving out and then we will start the building process of our new house. Our family is beyond excited. During the whole process we will be taking photos of every step and I will be sharing that journey with you all.

My Knee Surgery Update Plus Bella's Birthday Is Today!
Today is my sweet Bella's birthday! She turned 4 years old today. You all hear me talking about Bella alot.
Bella has been the most loving, most loyal and the sweetest little girl I have ever had. Never had I loved any animal as much as I love Bella. I got Bella for my 10th wedding anniversary. She was just 2 1/2 pounds when I bought her. She was so tiny and she still is. Bella is a yorkie-poo. Since the day I brought her home she has been by my side for every minute that I am at home and she follows me everywhere. She LOVES to go bye-bye and she goes pretty much everywhere with me. When I am driving she will take her left paw and brush it up and down on my arm a few times when wants to get in my lap. So I will move my right arm off of the steering wheel so she can get on my lap. Bella will then stand up with her front feet on the steering wheel and then she will sit on my lap. It is so cute to see her do this. Since day one I have talked to her like she was a little person. Bella always amazes me how she understands everything I am saying to her. She is seriously the smartest dog I have EVER seen. When you get a new pet you really never know what their personality will be. I won the jackpot with Bella's personality. She LOVES people and I mean she loves every kid or adult she sees. She is so friendly and when we are around people whether it is kids or adults she will literally pull me so she can go up to them. Bella is always so happy and loves to play. She has been the best gift I have ever received in my whole entire life. Our family looks forward to many many more years of happiness with her. Bella is such a blessing and I love her so very much!! Can you tell? :o)
So Happy Birthday Bella!! We love you so much!
Here is my update from my knee surgery from yesterday.
Because of my total joint replacement on both sides of my jaw the anesthesiologist came to see me before surgery like they always do and because of my jaw replacement he was so nervous and he decided to give me a spinal and he put me to sleep with other medications. I am in a TON of pain. It hurts so bad and has me in tears. I cannot put weight on my knee for up to 12 weeks. But I am doing ok and I wanted to let you all know. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. I hope you are all doing well! Sending hugs to you all!
Big Cricut Hugs!
