Guest Judge | Page 16 of 16

I am so excited to announce our guest judge and giveaway sponsor for this week's challenge........ Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy. Since she's basically famous in the blog world, I 'm sure most of you know who she is and lust after the beautiful handcrafted creations in her shop, like I do! Not only is she a successful and uber talented business woman, she is also a crafty homeschooling mom to 3 precious children. I am in awe...I seriously do not know how she does it all. Well..... maybe this little snapshot into her daily life gives us a peek into how she really manages! Makes me like her even more, if that's possible. Lindsey's blog, The Pleated Poppy, is a daily read for me. I love looking at her gorgeous craftsman style house, seeing what she's wearing, and hearing about her cute kids. I love that she paints beautiful furniture yellow, decorates the tops of her kitchen cabinets with vintage globes, and refashions old doors to hang on the bathroom wall! She is definitely a keeper. Lindsey is also our giveaway sponsor this week. Man oh man.....y'all are in luck! If you have never seen her stuff, you are in for a real treat. She makes the most beautiful posy pins and hair clips, checkbook covers, bags, necklaces, covered notebooks, and so much more. Her shop is pure eye candy! Here is just a sampling.......... For Mother's Day this year, I was fortunate enough to get one of these fabulous covered notebooks. It is even more gorgeous in person, if you can believe it. I carry it everywhere, just so I can show it off! If I had my way, I would buy every single thing in her shop. Lucky for you, Lindsey is offering a $25 gift certificate to one lucky participant in our challenge this week.
