 Here's some info about her:

I'm a Stay at Home Mom to two awesome kiddos (Joshua & Sarah) and a Wife to a Wonderful, Kind & Handsome Man :) I Love God and thank him for all his undeserved blessings! Accepting Christ is the most wonderful decision I have ever made in my life and it's something I will Never regret! This blog is about anything and everything. Mostly a place to share our home renovation/re-decorating process. It's my creative space where I can pretend I'm crafty, share some recipes I love & everything else in between.I created this blog as a hobby and as a motivation to finally finish decorating our little red brick home. 


                               Can you relate to her? I KNOW I can! 


Cindy has generously offered one lucky reader here at I HEART My Glue Gun a custom header valued at $25! Here's some of her work, found at Blessed Design Studio:

Giveaway #4 Purdy Paintbrushes!

WOOHOO! We're at Day #4! Haven't the giveaways up until now been GAHHHREAT?!

 Well, now we're onto the world's BEST  paintbrushes, PURDY BRUSHES!

 I absolutely ADORE these brushes! The XL brushes are the most popular and widely used series. Highly recommended for both interior and exterior painting projects. The stiffness retention of XL brushes (from the polyester content) makes them especially suited for outside painting under hot and humid climate conditions. Each XL brush style has its own unique hand-chiseled formulation for maximum paint lift and smooth no-drag application!

 If you haven't tried these brushes, YOU NEED TO! And if you have....HIGH FIVE! They're just grand right?!

 Want TWO? The people at Purdy Corp are offering a reader here at I HEART My Glue Gun the chance to try out TWO of their brushes-the XL Bow and the XL Dale!

So here's how to enter:

(Mandatory-you must be a follower of I HEART My Glue Gun)

1st Entry- Visit their website, Purdy Corp, and tell me which brush looks like your type of brush!

2nd Entry- What do you need to paint? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Giveaway #3 Auntie Lolo Crafts!

 Welcome to Day #3 of Giveaway Week!

 This awesome blogger has a special place in my heart-she's so sweet, and amazingly talented! Here's some info about her-

Naming my blog was easy. My sister nicknamed me "Lolo" when I was about 10 years old. Even though I am now 28, my dearest friends and family still call me Lolo. When my nieces and nephews came along it was only natural that they would call me Lolo as well. Being an Aunt is so much fun! I am always making something for all the kids I love.  I have been married for over 8 years to a truely wonderful man and love making our house a home. We have a cat named Murphy who is 14 and is totally nuts! Also, you should know I am obsessed with Bunnies (and lately hedgehogs), my favorite color is buttercup yellow, I am ADDICTED to Diet Coke, I love making cards for all occasions and sleeping in! 

 Awww, LOVE Auntie Lolo Crafts!

Giveaway #2 Oliveira Bags!

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of my Giveaway week! So excited about this sweet little shop, Oliveira Bags!!

Here is some info about her:

Growing up my Mom taught me how to sew, whether I liked it or not. I am so thankful for those skills today. Sewing was cool and fun (like the time I made three pairs of MC Hammer pants for myself “what was I thinking”) or it was frustrating and hard (trying to figure out a pattern all by myself for the first time). Now that I have kids of my own I have found that sewing is a big part of my life again. I started with little projects for my boys and have expanded to the products I make now.

I am blessed with two wonderful sons and a very supportive husband.

AWESOMENESS!

Look at some of these cute things in her shop!

Valentine's Day Cards

Ok, I appear to really be getting into the Valentine's Day spirit....what can I say-Love is in the air! LOL!

Here's some cards I made after I saw a really cool doilie and cardstock card on a blog.

I picked up the heart doilies at the 0.99 cents store, and I already had cardstock-so this project was 0.99 cents! 

I glued the doilies on, and used an x-acto knife to cut off the edges, added rhinestones....and there you have it! A cute little Valentine's Day card!

And mark your calendars!

Set Apart Sunday

Romans 12:12

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

Time to go GREEN!

Today is the day! In a few hours, we will be heading down to Hollywood to see the musical, WICKED! 

 I have seen it once before, and that was in December. I loved it so much, that the very next day I bought tickets for my Husband and I so that He could see it too! And, of course, so I could see it again! 

The cast is exceptional, but my favorite is Mamie Parris, who plays Elphaba, AKA The Wicked Witch Of The West. She.is. INCREDIBLE! The voice on her is like nothing I've EVER heard! 

 If you've never heard of this sweet musical, I suggest you visit their website and learn more about them! Chances are, they'll be in your neck of the woods at some point during their tour! They're wrapping up here on Sunday and heading out!

So, so excited! What a wonderful time we're gonna have! 

From Broke Down to Breathtaking!

So have you ever had an incident where you're holding your baby (child, teenager, WHATEVER), and they do THIS to your FAVORITE necklace?

Yeah, thought you moms out there could relate. I was so, so sad! Even though this necklace was $0.50 in the Fashion District of Downtown Los Angeles, I LOVED it! It was such a pretty color, and fit perfectly!

 So what can you do when this happens? Improvise!

Using these supplies, I was able to thread the ribbon into each bead, securing a knot between the beads. I attached a black bow to the necklace, and voila! A super chic, NEW necklace!

 I'm a happy mama again. Well, and I replaced the necklace with the very same one last week since we were down in LA for a field trip-HAH!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Valentine's Day Birdhouses

So apparently I'm on a Valentine's Day kick! I think I'm coming down from Christmas, and busying myself with  a new holiday's decor before I can be bummed about having to take down all my Christmas decorations!

 Anyway, here's a craft for under $5 and it's just as cute as can be!

Valentine's Day Birdhouses

Turn THIS:

Into THIS!

$3.50 for the birdhouses and candlesticks, plus glitter and paint! LOOOVVVVVEEEEE it!

Valentine's Day Wreath

Well hello there friends! How are you all? It's already 13 days into the New Year...WOW! 2012. Sounds so....futuristic. I've seen so many great ideas for Family Mission Statements and goals. Definitely gonna borrow some for this year!

 Anywhoo! Today I want to share with you a cute little wreath I put together for Valentine's Day. So here we go!

First, I cut out a heart from a cardboard box.

 I then wrapped it with strips of burlap, using my handy dandy GLUE GUN every couple of wraps.

Then I made little rosettes out of strips of burlap, and hot glues them to the heart.

 Put it on your front door with a strip of ribbon, and TADA! Cute, easy Valentine's Day Wreath! 

 HAPPY FRIDAY!
