Snap Academy Workshop Giveaway!


     Today I want to introduce you to a friend of mine, I met Melissa West through this blog a while back and we became fast friends! We have a lot in common, one thing being that her family is in the process of restoring a camper, they have plans to become full time travelers! She also sews, crafts, and is interested in all things natural....but one of my favorite things about her is that this chic can take some beautiful photographs and is passionate about teaching photography to others! Her approach is what makes her so unique though! She likes to teach mamas how to take beautiful pictures of their children using what they have, even if it's a camera phone! She isn't into all the confusing stuff (changing aperture, lenses, big cameras, photoshop), she just gives very common sense ways to make your pictures great TODAY, with what you have. She offers this information on her blog with tips and tricks and now she has an entire workshop available! I went through the workshop and was amazed at how much helpful information there was! Where was this workshop when Molly was born almost 12 years ago? Or when I started this blog SEVEN years ago? I know that had I had this information in the beginning it would have saved me years of aggravation. This workshop is something that I would suggest to any mama who wants to capture meaningful photos with what she already has. I think it would also be a perfect gift for new mamas or grandmas!


Now for the best part, Melissa wants me to give this workshop to one lucky person for free! All ya have to do is sign up for her newsletter and leave a comment here saying that you did that, to be entered to win. By signing up you will also get to see one segment of the workshop for free! Right now, for my readers only, she is offering 20% off the workshop, by using the coupon code "handmade123". Hurry because the discount is only good until July 15th! If you want to read more about Melissa and her family visit her blog HERE.

I've signed up...actually 2 weeks ago. I found your website from the newsletter Melisa sent out this week. Your new design is sweet! (And I mean that in the nice way, not the 1990's 16-year-old boy kinda way... Unless, of course, you've been looking for that kind of praise!).

Your densit trip had me in stitches! Blogging a bout reality really does make life better, doesn't it?

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
