I want YOU { and your craftiness }

AND LINKY PARTY!!

That's right, I want you. But more than that, I need YOU!

As you can tell, I have been on a blogging low lately. I really just need a short break to recuperate and come up with some fresh, new ideas.

So here's where you come in.

I want your fresh, new tutorials!! This is a great way for you to spread your craftiness, and a fun way for me to feature you on Sweet Charli.

All you need to do is:

e-mail me a fresh, new, original tutorial. I am specifically looking for

DIY Mother's Day Gift Ideas

but anything will do.

Make sure you format it just like you would if you were doing a step-by-step on your blog with pictures and all. I will e-mail you back and let me know if I will feature you, or if I already have spaces filled. I will try and feature as many of you as I can. I will start featuring your ideas next week.

Here is our e-mail:

sweetcharligirl@hotmail.com

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Oh yeah, I will still be having our Linky Loves Party, and I might snag some of your ideas from that too! So LInk Up! And take this button:

Earth Day Flowers...

Fun way to recycle pop cans...

Flower Magnets

My hubby likes Dr. Pepper, a lot! If it weren't for him, we would have no cans to make this fun project (I am anti-pop!) But this is a great way to reuse and recycle your pop cans.

I found this cute project HERE for Earth Day and can't wait to try it when I get time!

Happy Earth Day!!
