Weekend Wander #6

Don’t forget to enter my 300 Followers Giveaway!  Before we get to the party I wanna do the features, cuz well, we’re leaving town and let’s face it… If I don’t do them now, they won’t get done.  So let’s get to it.

How adorably cute are these FREE printables?  Saying it Sweet did an awesome job on them!

What cute decorations!  And from the Dollar Store (my favorite place…).  Kyra at Racks and Mooby continues to knock my socks off.  She is definitely my kinda girl.  Dollar Store and spray paint… aww.

Check out this sweet bag!  You’ll never guess what it’s made from… maybe you will, I don’t know.  Make sure you check it out over at Crafty Girls Workshop.

How fabulous is this top?  Absolutely, that’s how.  MJ over at My Busy Craft Life did a fantastic job!

I was in love the minute I saw these!  And Gail at Can’t Stop Making Things did this waay cheaper than Pottery Barn.  That’s a victory in my book!

Aren’t these cute little tags?!  These are too adorable.  Check them out at SmileMonsters.

Craftsy ‘Cause I Can: Printable Thanksgiving Subway Art

I’m madly prepping for a trip, still working on all those Christmas gifts, and finishing up a couple Etsy orders so this will be brief and to the point.  Want some printable Thanksgiving Subway Art?

I made this in 8×8″.  Click on it, save it to your computer and print from there.  If you use it, I’d love to see how.  Enjoy!

Guess What?!?

So, guess what happened over the weekend?!?  I’ll give you a hint… 300… no, not the movie.  Followers!  300 Followers!  Whew.  That makes me so excited!  And as promised… a giveaway!  Another one, I know.  Aren’t we just full of fun over here?  Hehe.  So… Wanna know what I’m giving away?  How’s about a nifty little Christmas grab bag?  I don’t have everything for it yet and will probably be adding more until I ship it.  It will be fun, though, I promise.  I will update you as I collect things for it.

So… how to enter:

This giveaway is only open to followers of While He Was Napping.  It is a giveaway celebrating my followers, after all.  This does not, however, count as an entry.  Following will be verified if you are the winner.

I will add extra ways to enter every few days.  Make sure to check back often to get all your entries in. 

1)  Tell me what you are most thankful for this year.
2)  Follow on Facebook.
3)  Tell me what dish you always get seconds of at Thanksgiving dinner!
4)  Check out my Etsy Shop!  Tell me what item you’d love to have!
5)  My favorite holiday, hands down, is Christmas.  What’s yours?
6)  What do you wish you could find an insane deal on during the Black Friday Festivities?
7)  Send a friend over.  If they follow, you get an extra two entries.  They just have to leave your name in a comment
8)  Name your favorite holiday tradition.  Or one you would like to start.
9)  Link up to Weekend Wander AND put my button somewhere on your blog.  I’m not picky where, but please leave the link so I can find it.  If I can’t find it this entry will be discarded.  And I don’t care what you link up.. as long as it’s family friendly.
10)  Submit a Christmas craft, recipe, DIY gift idea or other holiday related idea for the 12 Days til Christmas Event going on now!  Not only does this get you more entries… you could get your very own featured post!  You may leave the link in a comment or send the link to whilehewasnapping[at]gmail[dot]com.  If you email it, please make sure you leave a comment that says you did so.
11)  What was your favorite gift you received as a child?

Please leave a SEPARATE comment for each entry you complete.  Giveaway is open until 11:59pm on December 10th.  Winner will be chosen by random.org and announced shortly thereafter.  Good Luck!

Craftsy ‘Cause I Can: Let It Snow Tumblers

Remember these…?

Well… I HAD to have some for the holidays!  Check out these.  By the way, I HATE photographing glass!

They are soo much prettier in person!  And with a candle burning in them:  Gorgeous!  Alas.  One year olds, lots of flammable stuff in not a lot of space, and exploring and curious hands do not make a good combination.  So these little cuties found themselves on my Etsy shelf.  Check them out and grab yourself this amazing wintery set.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.


It all happened
