Craftastic Monday Link Party, Magazine News & Giveaway Winner!

Valentine's Day is coming up in just a few days, so this week's party is full of features that really share love.  And since I love my readers,I've got a special new how-to & big fabric news to share with you later this week;)

I've also got an extra Valentine's announcement: you can find me in the last issue of YUM Food & Fun Magazine!

I created this fun edible treat box tutorial, made especially for the magazine's Valentine's Day section:

Using basic ingredients, you and the kids can create a tasty, totally edible box that's just as delicious as the goodies it can hold.  You can find it on pages 12-15 of the new Spring 2014 issue, as the Cool Ideas feature.    

 

You can find YUM Food & Fun at select Barnes and Noble, Target, Wal-Mart stores and on newsstands.  You can also subscribe to it here.  I hope you'll go check it out and make some fun foods soon!

It's also time to announce the big winner of the $95 Fabric Lover's Giveaway:

Congratulations Susan.  Enjoy all that fabric goodness!  And a big thank you to The Fabric Exchange for providing this generous fabric prize!!
