Stuffed Animal Hammock

Hi friends! Hope you all are doing well!

 So did you enter all my giveaways? There is some AMAZING stuff up for grabs! If you haven't, enter each one to increase your chance of winning something!

 I've been pretty quiet around these parts, and that's because we've been doing a complete kitchen overhaul! It.Is.Nuts.!!! We're so close to being finished, but it was so much work!!!! This was our last room in the house that needed to be done-and we didn't touch it for 14 months. But finally, we buckled down and got to work! It looks INCREDIBLE!!! I can't wait to share it with you! So bare with me if my posts are sparse, we're just trying to get this done!

 Ok, wanted to share with you this cute idea I had when trying to figure out WHAT to do with all those pesky stuffed animals that littered our girls room! I'm not crazy about the basic white nets that go in the corner, and I needed to get them OFF the floor and onto the wall, so I decided to do a quick search on google that pulled up THIS POST which got my creative juices flowing! So I present to you:

The Stuffed Animal Hammock!

Supplies needed:

Tulle (got mine at walmart, got 3 yards at $0.97 a yard)

Ribbon

Screw Hooks

What I did was, lay out the tulle and tied a knot at each end, leaving enough tulle to hang down. Then I put the screw hooks in the wall, and attached the back of the knot to it. Don't worry about the hammock being too heavy and pulling the knots out, these are stuffed animals we're talking about!

(trimmed the left side, since it was a hair longer than the right side)

 I then started piling the stuffed animals in the hammock...

 tied the ribbon to the knots, and voila!

 A SUPER CUTE Stuffed Animal Hammock! 

 SO CHEAP and SO CUTE! Just how I like my crafts!

Romans 1:20

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

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!

 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!
