I have been loving this sight since I stumbled across it in late December–much to late for any good holiday crafting! Thanks for some great inspiration. My to-do (someday) list is way to long.
I’d love the Recipes or the Crafting with Kids. Happy blogaversary!
Love your make and take’s Marie. You are an amazing chick with so much to share. Thanks for taking the time each week to post your fun ideas. I use many many of them. I would love the kids crafts or baking. So fun. Look forward to many more years to come as well. miss ya.
Happy Blogaversary! Love all your kiddy craft suggestions. We are always looking for new ideas.
I enjoy reading your posts so much. I have 2 little ones of my own and it is nice to get different ideas on how to entertain them. Also, I am just a few weeks behind you with my pregnancy so it is nice to compare “notes” with other people. I would love the crafting with kids or baking choice.
Good job on the one year mark! I’m sure there are many more years to come from that craft little mind of yours. I’d love the crafting with kids or baking items. Heaven knows I need to do more of both!!
Happy Blogaversary! I homeschool my kids and I love your crafts for kids ideas!
I’d enjoy the cooking and baking since my little girl is so into that right now.
I love all your make and takes, though!
Hooray for one year! I love the kids crafts you post. My son is a little young, but I always check them out and can’t wait to start “Making” stuff with him. My second choice would be the recipes. We’ve made several from your posts with great results.
I love the crafting for kids.
I’m a big recipe and cooking guru so I always love cooking stuff, but I just love reading your crafty stuff for the kids. I have a 2 year old so he loves doing fun crafts!
I love your blog! I’m most interested in recipes.
: )
I love your recipes! The cake mix snickerdoodles have become my family’s favorite cookie! I also can’t thank you enough for introducing me to the Bakerella blog and her oreo truffles. YUM! I will be trying the Nutter Butter balls next! I’ve been wanting to try one of your hand-stitched cards, but haven’t yet, so I would LOVE that prize!
Love your blog….read it often! I would have to say I enjoy the kid crafts and activities the most, so count me in for that drawing. Thank you so much again!! Keep up the great work and writing.
I love them all. I just can’t pick one right now. How is that for choosing!
I guess if I was hard pressed to pick, right now I would choose…ok, kids crafts. I feel my time is growing short with them, when they want to sit with me and do something.
I love your site. I check it every morning. I have two boys and I love your craft ideas for kids. Your recipes are awesome too!
Happy Blogoversary. Gotta be crafty stuff for kids!
I love all of your great ideas! I cant pick just one!
I love your blog! I have been reading it for a couple of months now. I love all of your ideas…couldn’t possibly pick one. Crafts and baking are at the top of my list, but I also love your cards! Happy Blogaversary!
You always have such cute ideas. I am having a hard time with the prize. I think that I would use the kids crafts or cooking and baking prize the most. I have 2 kids(and one on the way). They love to cook and do crafts. You have a great site. I check you out all the time. Thanks for your ideas.
I love your blog!!!! I get such great ideas from you. I would really like the cooking things and I’m not such a great cook and anything that helps me is great!!!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas and keep up the good work!!!!!
WE MAKE YOUR CRAFTS ALL THE TIME.
I too love your blog…stumbled upon it last summer so I have been a loyal reader ever since (even though I don’t even know you!). You post wonderful ideas and tips and I already feel like a winner because I copy your ideas all the time! =) But if I do by chance win your giveaway…I would love the kids crafts supplies or the cooking/recipes supplies. You’re awesome!
happy blogiversary! your blog is fabulous, i’d love a little taste of it for myself!
oh, it’s so hard to choose. your blog is great and you have wonderful ideas. all three prizes would be fun, but i think my favorite is the kids craft one. :)
Ooh! Pick me! Pick me! I LOVE to bake, especially with my toddler. Can I be winner #3?
I love all your kids crafts! My 3 year old is always asking me if we can “make something.”
Thanks for all the fun ideas!
Wahoo — I hope I get third place! I love your simple baking tips! I don’t have kids — so those don’t apply to me, but sometimes I star them just because they are so cute!
Okay, I love your blog for ALL 3! However, I guess my favorites are the kids crafts. I have really enjoyed doing them with my kids throughout the past few months (since I found your blog). You are so creative… thanks for taking the time to post!
I love to read your post. I read daily to get ideas on what to do the next few days with my kids. I love your craft ideas for kids. They are simple and I feel like a better mom. Thanks for your hard work and Happy Blogaversary!!!!
I’m into cooking! Love new recipes to try. I’ve recently gotten into bread baking – without a bread machine!
Oh I love all of your ideas! Right now I’m focussed on the home and cooking ones since I don’t have kids yet but I’m stashing away all the kids ideas too for future use! thanks for sharing so many fantastic projects with us!
I love your ideas I’d be super happy to win #2. Well, lets be honest, I’d love to win any of them. Happy Bloggiversary.
oooo pick me for the cooking supplies!! i love all of your blogs marie! but i love your recipes the most! its probably because i like to cook more than craft. haha love you auntie marie!
Happy Blogaversary! You have such wonderful ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. My pick would be for #2, although I have to say when I first looked at this post that cupcake made me salivate. Maybe because I’m on a diet.
I want #3 – I love baking and cooking. I check your blog daily – it is very cute and fun!
Thanks for the time you take to share your ideas. I’m looking forward to trying some of your kids crafts with my 2 yr old this summer. And I love new recipes. I’m always looking for something different to try. I just appreciate your joyful and upbeat attitude. It always makes me smile when I visit your blog! Happy blogaversary.
I have your blog saved in “my favorites” list. You are so cute and you have the best ideas :) I can totally relate to your posts as I am a former Kindergarten teacher as well :) Great job! keep it going!
i just love your site! thanks for all your great ideas! i would like #1 or #3. thanks!!
Hi Marie….I found your website through a friends a while back, and I love all your great ideas. I love that they are simple, yet look so great. I would love to be entered into your drawing for anything really, but especially the crafts (#2).
SOOooOO glad I stumbled upon your site–you are a great inspiration–I’ve started collecting fabric for my very own “here comes the sun” quilt. I check your blog every day for new ideas. I love all your ideas for kids but your home crafts(#2) are the best–with 4 little kids at home I have to do something just for me so I don’t go crazy!
Yahoo – I’d love #1. But you know… all things crafty are a-ok in my book.
I like the mix of the three. There are lots of blogs closer to a solo theme, and I like the variety of your blog. I would never subscribe to a recipe blog (I am pretty happy with my sources and I like browsing books), but to come upon a recipe every so often at a blog I subscribe to for different reasons is so nice and refreshing for me.
I just recently and somehow found your blog about a month ago. I could not read enough recipes in one day!! I have loved trying some of your dishes.
I made your homemade chewy granola bars last night. Instead of honey, I used peanut butter and mini chocolate chips instead of m&ms…..I am in heaven. I am a nursing student and plan on giving all my classmates one of the granola bars I made.
My next batch of granola bars will be with the honey and bits of dried apples…..mmm mmm….I can’t wait!
oooppsss I guess I forgot to add that I would rather win #3, your FAVORTIE! supplies for cooking and baking.
Number three for me, and next number one. How fun!
How fun! I would love to win #2 and receive some fun card supplies. I love making cards!
I am SO glad I found your blog. Your ideas are so great. As a grandma, I love both the kids’ and home crafts (#1), and I also love baking and cooking (#3). I have both my daughters reading your blog now too. Keep up the good work!
I just found your website through your comment on Allsorts. As a mom of 3, and a teacher-librarian for JK-gr.6, I’ve already found lots of interesting kid-crafts. I can’t wait to explore further. I really like the card-sewing ideas!
Wow, everything you do is great! If I had to pick I think I’d go with the cooking/baking. Thanks for all your great blogs!
I really have enjoyed all your craft ideas. I just saw the tu-tu you made and I am going to make one for my daughter’s birthday. I made your stitched Valentine hearts for all my siblings for V-Day and plan on making the other stiched cards too. So I guess my favorites are your hand stitched cards. Who doesn’t like to get something besides bills and junk in tha mail?
ooo! I would love any of them, but the cooking/baking sounds really fun! I would also love the handstitched card supplies, but only if it comes with instructions. I’m a pretty good copier, but as for making it up? forget it.
And WOW! Blog of the week!! I’m so honored! Thanks Marie!
I think I would like #2 because I am trying to make homemade cards and I love to cross-stitch so I have been dreaming of trying a handstitched card.
I would also like #3 because I would give it to my sister she is the best cook in the kitchen, I have had really bad health the past year and my sister came up twice on her own to cook and clean for me.
Oooh, I’d like #3 – I love baking, and recipes!
I am loving all of the blog attention you get!! You rock Ree!! I love the baking suggestions.!!! Happy Blogaversary!!
Wow, you have such a fan club Marie! Congrats on 1 year!
I am most interested in your kids crafts, but also love your recipes and other crafts. I am not too crafty, so I love how you make things look so easy.
Happy blogerversary!!!! I la la la love your blog keep it up and keep the great posts a coming. I am a big fan!!!!
Always up for a giveaway! Cant get enough of kids crafting ideas!
Thanks for your super fun posts and ideas!
Kelly
Ever since my friend, Ashlie, told me about your blog, I am always looking at it for ideas and inspiration! You are amazing. I would love to be in the drawing for handstitched cards! :) Happy Blogging!
I would love #3. I love to bake and cook. I also love your site. Thank you, Diana
I love your blog! I would like any of the giveaways, but probably the stitched cards the most! You always have such fun ideas! Thanks!
Wow! You are amazing! I love ALL your ideas…and I definitely need all the help I can get in the “crafty” category! I’d LOVE to receive #1 or #3 :)
Happy blogiversary! I love the recipes (and would most like to win prize #3, if Canadians are eligible).
Hello! This is my first post on your blog, but I check it everyday! I love all of your creative ideas! I would LOVE the card stitching give-away! Have a wonderful day and keep those creative juices flowing!!!
NNaaaaaaoooohhhh!! I am crying!!!! You have the hugest following! I don’t deserve your prize, because I don’t check your blog enough. :( But if I was to choose, it would be the baking goods, of course. Congratulations on your blogaversary! I am so proud of you!!!! …..your loving sister!!!
look at all these commentors… i definitely don’t have a chance, but i’d pick option number 1. happy happy blog-irthday!
How about those great recipes that kids love to help make? Such a fun site – keep it up!
I can’t pick just one…it is a mix of great things that apply to all areas of my life. I love it all!
WAAAU Congrats – great site you have made here!
Happy Anniversary! I would love to win the crafts for kids! I’m just starting to look for things to try with my 3-year-old daughter. Thanks for a fun give-away!
You are just the most fabulous-I just found you a few weeks ago and you made the kindergarten party at the local elementary school a huge hit!!!
I’m drooling over your crafts for kids. Keep up the inspiring work.
Happy blogaversary Marie. Crafts for the children are always my favourites and the ideas for kiddlet craft on your blog are always very interesting!

Congrats on the anniversary!
I would LOVE to win some baking things. I love to bake and cook!!
I would like to win the firs or last prize but wouldn’t mind the 2nd one either. I have 3 kids and am in the process of decorating my home. I love making handmade card and I LOVE to bake. Thanks for a great blog full of inspiration.
Happy Blogiversary! I’m really happy for you!
I love your CARD PATTERNS. I have shared them with a bunch of people! We even used some of them for an enrichment service project, making cards for veterans!
I guess now that I have a blog, I’ll have to post that activity!
Have a happy day!
Kids crafts for sure! Although I would be excited about any of those!
Happy Blogaversary!
Unfortunately, I just came across your blog today! I wish I would have found a year ago. I enjoyed looking around your site and looking at all your projects. I really enjoy how you try to include your kids whenever you can. Happy one year anniversary and hopefully many more to come! Take care…
I hope SOMEONE’S head is not getting too big. Oh wait! Yes I do! You deserve all the fame and fortune you get. You’re awesome, and I’m proud to have taught you everything you know!
WOW 77 comments! That means that u r so famous now Marie :)
Ok, It’s so hard to choose one of them but I LOVE Kids crafts and recipes. I’d love to win one of ur Giveaways ;)
I am a daily reader of your blog. Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us. :-)
I would be happy winning any of the prizes. I have a huge interest in kids’ crafts and also crafts that I can make for other people.
All the prizes sound great, but I think I’d prefer number 3.
Thanks
Happy Blogaversary! Well I have to say that I like recipes. I am always on the prowl for new ones since I love to bake and cook and we enjoy trying different things. I would prefer #3 please. Thank you !
Thank you for sharing your talents so that some of us can work on developing ours. I enjoy all of your posts, but particularly enjoy the home crafts. I am just now starting to have spots of time where I can try fun things. Again, thank you for sharing!
Hi Marie!
Happy Blogaversary!! I have LOVED your website since I found it! I love all your ideas and have a list a mile long of what I would like to from your ideas! I would actually like #1 or #3, but #2 would be fun too!
I just came across this today. Happy Blogaversary. Just from the comments I am intrigued. Must surf more on this site. I am not so great with the crafts for kids, although my Brownie Troop would probably be overjoyed. The #2 and #3 are very intriguing though. Will have to bookmark you and learn more.
I love your blog and I’m going to add the link to mine. Thanks! I’d love the #3 gift! Check out my food blog to see why. I’m a baking and cooking freak! :)
Happy Blogaversary to you!
Happy anniversary! I just love all of your ideas! I’ve got a three year-old and an almost two-year old at home and I am loving all of your craft ideas. Thanks and keep them coming!
Happy Blogaversary!! :) Nice blog, love the kids and home crafts.
I love all of your posts, but I have to go with kid’s crafts since I have two little ones. Keep up the great work!
I love them all too – but I’d probably want the kids prize for my little ones! Thanks for all your fun ideas :)
I happened upon your website and you have such cute and fun ideas. I will be coming back often. I think I’d like to win the kid crafts. Thanks for your fun ideas!!
Well, I really want all three prizes! If I had to pick I’d probably go with the cooking and baking supplies. I love to cook. My next choice would be the kid and home craft supplies. It’s hard to decide!

I have loved reading your blog, and getting such great ideas from you!
Your are so sweet to do a giveaway, and all 3 prizes sound great. I would have to go with the kids craft supplies. We are always looking for something fun to create. Thanks!!
92 comments are you kidding me!! You’re the new martha!! I love package #1- I’m always looking for new things/ideas to do with my kids at home! HELP!!
Thanks for supplying such great ideas all the time- I love to read your blog!
Marie – Wow! I am amazed to see all the responses from 94 different people on here! This is a very wonderful Blogaversary present to you and all the work and time you put into your crafts and projects and blogging about them! I am so happy for the success of your site and all the readers you have!! So exciting! Way to go – look at what you have created for people – I love it! Thank you and keep it up, because I love your ideas! I don’t care if I get a prize – I am just very happy for you!!!!
Holt! Holy Crap — you’ve almost got 100 comments!!!! How can a gal compete?!?!?
Well, I think I should win the prize because I have asked Alyssa if I can be in charge of “Setting the Table” for you-know-what…
I’m totally planning on making it look at Martha-esque with my Pottery Barn best!!! All for you darling (plus, it’s the least I can do after not responding to anyone and failing to get it done at my place, eh?)
Anyway, thanks for your cute thoughts on my blog… and I am putting my wish in for the cards as I don’t have any kids (although, “procreate in 2008″ is feeling the clock ticking) and I’m not much of a baker… cooking reduction sauces and chutneys sure… baking? No way!!!
Love you –
suite
i forgot to say i would like the home crafts
Happy Blogaversary! Looking forward to the next one. That picture has me drooling…ohhh cupcakes! Have one for me!
