Handmade Mania week 16

Happy Monday!! It was a wonderful weekend here! We enjoyed time playing inside due to the cold weather on icy snow outside. We made a couch fort and had our own "snow" fight with balls of paper. And then of course, it was Super Bowl Sunday! Did you watch the game? Or was it not that big of a deal? My team wasn't playing but my family still watched the game. The end of football season means spring is coming. And I know there are many ready for spring weather.

Last weeks link up was awesome!!  Everyone was sharing! And there were a few NEW shops! Woohoo! I love meeting new people. Thank you so much for sharing this link up with others, makes hosting so much fun! Welcome to a new week of Handmade Mania!!!

With Doll my Heart

For the month of February, Ashley from Penelope's Eclectic Closet has a wonderful line of limited edition dolls available which will benefit charity. She's here as a guest to tell you all about it! Welcome Ashley!

When Stella was born, she had a small hole in her heart. The tiniest imperfection in an otherwise perfect newborn. We feel so fortunate! Her issue was minor. Just a tiny heart murmur needing a couple cardiologist appointments (At Primary Children’s hospital) during the first year of her life to monitor it. In Nov 2013 we got awesome news that her hole had closed and she was good as new! This isn’t even something that would affect her during the rest of her life. We’re so lucky and so grateful for the health of our kids!

February is National Heart Month, and Penelope’s Eclectic Closet will be celebrating by offering one limited-edition doll every day for the 28 days in February. These Heart dolls have the same charm as Penelope’s Eco Friendlies (dolls made from scraps of Penelope Original Dresses to keep extra bits and pieces out of landfills) but have a sweet little heart sewn to their chest! I'll be donating 20% of the proceeds from sales of these dolls to the wonderful folks at Primary Children's Hospital!

You can find Penelope's Eclectic Closet on Storenvy, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, or contact via email.

If you are interested in donating directly to Primary Children's Hospital, read more about it here.  
 

Thank you so much Ashley for sharing your 'heart' and the way you are helping out others with us! What a wonderful gift!

Handmade Mania week 12

Whoa! Time really flew for me these last couple of weeks. I do apologize for dropping off the grid. I lost my Grandmother suddenly and my world, well, sorta sped up but slowed way down. I had to get things finished and pack everyone up to head up to be with extended family. And the children and I stayed on through the holidays. Rabbit, hubby, joined us when his work break permitted. It was a joyous holiday with family, even with the loss of Grandmama. Thank you for understanding the why behind my disappearance. 

Now onto the new week - the FIRST Handmade Mania week in 2014! Happy New Year! Happy fresh slate, new start, and new beginnings! So here are the features from Handmade Mania week 11:
