    The Official Countdown

    YOU GUYS, the countdown is officially on. Yup, that's right. You have only a few days to enter your best project for the chance of a lifetime to work with your favorite blogger and earn awesome prizes. Just to prove it to you, (and because we love some crunch-time project drama) here's the official countdown:

    Did you know that we waited until literally the last hour to submit our project? We had done this piece of barnwood art for one of our Nate Show episodes, and weren't technically allowed to post about it yet, but we were dying to be a part of the contest so we slipped it in just under the wire.

    So, we totally get it if you're major procrastinators like us. Or, if you need some additional encouragement because you're a little nervous or afraid your stuff isn't good enough, here it is: JUST DO IT! This contest could be a major boost to your blogging career! Just trust us about this. After we won this contest, we got a whole lot more traffic and made a name for ourselves. And you know the awesome Mandi, from Vintage Revivals? She won this contest too, and we all know how incredible her blog is now. Don't waste anymore time. Enter your project here right now!

    Also, I bet you might not have known that, YOU (our awesome readers), have the power to select the 12th contestant in this contest! How, you ask? Take a peek at all the fabulous entries and click through for the tutorials.

    I know! Isn't that so fun? So, go ahead and tell all your friends to come vote for your project. I mean, really, who wouldn't want to be Miss Popular?? We are so excited about this contest, and already have a few favorites as we click through to see them all!!
    We'll be keeping you updated on all the last minute CWTS excitement on Facebook, so make sure you've liked our page or do it right here… we double dog dare you!

    Tell us: which project is YOUR fav so far, and which STAR would you most like to work with if you get the chance?

  • All-Hallows-Eve

    All-Hallows-Eve

    When the winds are howling and darkness falls remember this....the Celtics called this day Samhain which is old Irish and means "summers end".

    It marks the end of the "lighter half" of the year and starts the "darker half" of the year.

    The Celts believed that the border between this world and the otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits, both harmless and harmful, to pass through.

    It is believed that the wearing of costumes and masks could ward off the harmful spirits.

    So don your best costume to keep the spooks at bay!
    HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
