The Children’s Nest Give-Away

The Children’s Nest (my sister Tiffany) is having her first give-away!!! Go check it out and leave her a comment.

1. A really cute craft apron that she applied Amy Butler fabric to.

They are perfect for the sewers, scrapbookers, crafters, artists, etc… it has pockets in front to hold all sorts of things!
2. A very cute red felt pair of Santa Claus long underwear

filled with candy! This can be used as an ornament or as a door hanger or whatever you would like to use it for! The back has the little flap where the candy is put in (he he he).
3. A fun triangle gift box made from cute Stampin Up scrapbook paper and also filled with candy!

(These make cute gifts for teachers by the way!)
4. And last is a paper globe ornament also made from Stampin Up double sided paper that is SOOOO cute!!!!

Such cute things my sister makes!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
