My good friend Margie Romney-Aslett is a designer who has her own line of products for paper crafting. She also has a kit club that she runs with her daughters. Every month The Girl's Loft sends out a kit full to the brim with fun crafting supplies. The kit for October featured Margie's Halloween line "Toil and Trouble". The girls sent me a kit to play with because they think I'm the shiz. That's what I like to think anyway. I finally found a couple of hours when the babies were sleeping to dig into my goodies.
I made candy cones. Okay, they may not be original, but hey, who doesn't love a candy cone? And candy cones made with Toil and Trouble products? Uh. That's a yes. Any day of the year.
And now, as if this post isn't festive enough, I get to give away an October Girl's Loft kit for you, yes you, if you be the winner. Believe you me, it's a package of fun.
You can see all that the kit contains here.
You can enter to win said kit by leaving a comment.
You can have a second entry by tweeting this exact comment- @suaviloquy I really want to win @thegirlsloft kit because it rocks and so do you.
I really do love being Queen of this domain. Everyone should be the Queen somewhere.
As Queen I decree that a winner shall be chosen on Monday, October the twenty-fifth in the two hundredth and tenth year of our Lord. Let it be written. Let it be done.
Stumble It!
