Sorry! This giveaway is now closed. A big congratulations to our winner, Heidi (Commenter #14) on winning this wonderful prize pack. Please check back each Tuesday for a brand new giveaway and thank you for participating in the contest!

Paging all my crafty mommas, I have a hot giveaway to share with you that you will not want to miss!  We are offering up a $50 bundle of great instructions and patterns for making some of the coolest projects for you and your family!

You Can Make This was created by a mom who wanted to provide downloadable instructions on how to make just about anything from children’s boutique clothing and jewelry, to handbags, home decor and more.  What makes the site unique is that these instructions are written by everyday moms who have an expertise in an area. They are written in a way that makes you feel you have a friend sitting right next to you, telling you what to do next. They all have detailed instructions and step-by-step full-color photos so even the most “craft-challenged” person can make these items for their homes and families.

In fact, if you’d like to try out some products for free, you can sign up for their FREE newsletter. After sign-up, you’ll receive a link to your email inbox asking you to confirm subscription. Simply click on that link, and you’ll receive all of these product instructions pictured here, plus an online video and digital scrapbooking frames.

Would you like to win a $50 bundle of even more DIY instructions? Check out YouCanMakeThis.com and come back and post something you’d like to learn how to make. You can learn how to make a Child/Adult Apron Set, Women’s Reversible Wrap Skirt, The “She Loves Me, She Loves Me KNOT” Handbag, The Reversible Patchwork Bucket Hat, Easy-Fit Pants, and Boys Ties. Remember, even if you’ve never sewn before, the site believes that you REALLY CAN make these things!

Please leave a comment and tell me what you would like to make from the site and get your entry in by Tuesday (2/17) at 8PMEST. Good luck, everyone!
