They seem to be pretty popular around here lately; in fact, a lot of my traffic can be attributed directly to that tutorial.
What a better way to celebrate 100 posts than by giving a set away?!
They are 5 x 7" and 4 x 6" and are great to use as journals, idea books, etc.
All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what your favorite craft is. What project have you made that induced pride in your handy-work, not to mention compliments from friends and family? (I'm not fishing for ideas for future posts.)
Leave your comment by Monday morning, when I will announce the winner!

de-lurking to say those notebooks are adorable.
My favorite craft is graphic design photo cards. www.keriscarddesigns.etsy.com
Yay! I love these notebooks and I keep thinking about how I need to make some myself. Someday, I suppose. I guess my favorite craft is reusing items for something other than their intended purpose. Is that a craft?
Love your blog & those notebooks!!! I would have to say my favorite craft is making hair bows!

Those are adorable. Hhmmmm my favorite craft, how do I just pick one! I guess I would have to say making bows or scrapbooking!
Love your blog and the notebooks!
My favorite craft that I have done recently is the Nester's ragamuffin garland.
Those are awesome! My favorite craft is the bird mobile you showed. Mine is almost finished! Thanks for all your great ideas.
Cute notebooks.I love notebooks.
My favorite craft is the one I'm working on right now. I'm sewing up scripture totes. I'm working on my third one, and they're getting better each time. I really like the one I'm doing now. I'll be posting about it soon, I'm sure. :o)
I love these notebooks, as well as this site! I've linked it to my blog.
My favorite craft is pocketbooks made from fabric placemats. They're frugal, easy, and wonderful to give as gifts. They get so many compliments. I plan on posting a few pics on my blog, as well as a tutorial. I'll leave a comment when I do so that maybe you can try them out. : D
does making list of all the crafts I want to do, count? Well I guess my favorite craft is to embellish, like adding appliques to onesies, burp clothes, etc.
My favorite craft is anything where I get to paint! I'm working on a cavas of horses right now and I love it! Off to check out that tutorial...
Oh Goodie...a give away...I am new to this blogging and never seen so many give aways...I can't wait to get my 100th post so I can give away some goddies.
Now the crafty stuff I am just getting into cause of some wonderful bloggers out here...now I missed your notebook tutorial so I am going to go check that out...great Christmas gift ideas...
Ok I tried your brown sugar scrub..I googled that and your page showed up and I have been here ever since...So please add my name...
These are so great. I love any and all crafts, scrapping probably being #1. But sewing is a close second :)
Love these, I got a few when walgreens had them for 5 cents but I have yet to try my own. My favorite craft is the "celebrate" banner I just finished sewing and anything with ribbon.
I love those notebooks. I hope to make some soon.. when I finish my 50 other projects :) what crafter doesn't have a room full of unfinished work right???
I recently learned to make gift bows from magazine pages and it has become my new obsession. I hope to post the results soon.

I would love me some decked out notebooks, especially when I don't have to make them...I would say my #1 craft is sewing at the moment, making blankets...my baby can't have enough of them, or is it me?...mmmm
Congratulations on 100 posts Kristin!!My favourite craft is anything to do with a sewing machine and fabric. I am most proud of some of my quilts that involve patchwork, applique, and hand quilting.
I am currently working an a Christmas advent calendar made out of felt with 25 felt ornaments and I already LOVE it. I really hope that my daughter loves it and wants it for her home when she is grown.
So adorable! Those would make a great gift. I can't wait to try it!
My favorite craft I've recently is my the magnet boards I made for my sister and mom last year for Christmas. I painted the border and made magnets with clear beads and put scrapbook paper in the middle. They turned out so cute!
Just recently I made my kids ABC books with pictures of them and family members so that they would have something quiet to do during church! I loved it!
I LOVE these notebooks! Thank you for doing this!
My favorite craft is digital-scrapbooking... is that even considered a craft?
I've been enjoying your blog...and the notebooks are so cute! My favorite craft is quilting...although stitching comes in a close second!
Gosh, I love just about every type of craft there is. I guess if I had to pick a fave, it would be sewing. I LOVE fabric and I really enjoy creating things out of fabric. My curtains that I made for my bathroom are probably my favorite project to date. LOVE your notebooks!
My favorite craft right now is softies. I made a set of softies that curiously resemble my favorite anime charaters, Totoros! They are so cute!
These notebooks are beautiful!! Although I stamp and scrapbook - my favorite craft is quilting. I made a quilt for my parents for their 50th anniversary. That is my pride and joy for sure.
Since I can't operate a sewing machine to save my life (or even sew on a button!) I love crafts like the notebooks that I can do too. Keep up the good work! ;)
I love the notebooks. You have inspired me so much... I have tried projects I never thought I would.
My favorite project to do (which I do often) is diaper bags for friends. It is a low-cost, but very personal gift to make and give. The bad part is I don't usually want to give them away when I am done!
I don't know if this is a craft or not, but I love designing my children's bedrooms. We're expecting baby3 in a few weeks and I'm excited to be doing another nursery.
I read your archives last night and went out today and bought my first ever "modpodge" and the initial of my daughter - I just covered it with one kind of paper because I'm a newbie, but it turned out great!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
My favorite craft is my hair bows of course! I always get lots of compliments on them.

Thanks Kristin for the chance at an adorable notebook!
Fun notebooks!
My favorite craft is covered pocket calendars that are personalized!
my favorite craft is to make baby burp cloths. I love the notebooks and would love to show them off to all my mommy friends.
How fun! Mine is definitely the one and only (successful) clothing item I've ever made--a sundress for my daughter. I'm so proud of it.
my favorite craft is modpodging...clipboards, Christmas ornaments, initials, boxes, the hooks in my laundry room, everything! but, i get the most compliments on my fleece baby blankets. your notebooks are cute! and your glitter birds have inspired my next project!
My favorite craft was the name badge protector scrapbooks (you posted 8/3/08). I made some as party favors for my daughter's 4th birthday on 8/28. Everyone loved them, and I got to use some of those gazillion wallet size portraits I had from years 1 through 3. I made one for her to keep and I think it will be a great keepsake for years to come! Thanks!!
oh my. those notebooks are so cute.
favorite craft? sewing with my mom. notice: not just sewing. but WITH my mom. i can't do it alone.
Love the notebooks...I scrapbooked some composition notebooks for Christmas presents this year and I was so thrilled with the way they turned out. I'm not very crafty so I really get excited over any small feat..lol.
Loving those notebooks! New to your blog, but I've already printed off quite a few projects and put them in my To-Do binder.
A favorite thing I've made recently was a birth sampler for a friend who just had a baby. I love to give handmade gifts as keepsake presents.
Count me in! Recently I love to make bibs and burp cloths for the babies that are making their into my life.

These journals are so adorable! I would love to use them to jot down ideas for my shop.
My favorite craft by far is sewing! I started learning shortly after my daughter was born and fell in love! I take pride in all of my creations, as I put so much love into each one. I receive compliments from friends and family who are always surprised that I've only been sewing for a little over a year.
www.babytopia.etsy.com
I love to do to many things and don't have just one.... but I am very proud of the apron that I made for my son...
Love the journals. I made something like that for my daughter, we used composition notebook and scapbooking papers.
Come check it out....
Oops... I did make something similar minus the mod podge and the pretty bottons for closure(I just saw your other post...)
They look great...
I think I'm going to make some more....
I do computer crafts, most especially personalized candy wrappers, buttons and personlized gift cans.
I made a gift can for our friends when their daughter was born that turned out GREAT! I filled it with plenty of goodies and topped it with a pink bear and lots of ribbons. I was so proud of myself! It turned out so much better then I could ever imagine.
Thank you for the great giveaway!

My favorite crafts I made was for a gift...a needlepoint Peter Rabbit pillow/doorstop for my sister's babyshower, along with a baby blanket I made with one side fleece with sweet bunnies and one side soft minky, nubby fabric. I then bound it with a satin ribbon edging. Sometimes I feel like I should visit it! Loved it.
My fave craft for this summer has been repurposing pillow cases into dresses. Found this on your site, actually.
I was thankful to have found the tutorial for this and thankful for the savings for our clothing budget and in seeing my daughters gratitude for a pretty dress that her mommy made.
Hello! I love your 100th Post Giveaway Drawing. I wish you many more happy and healthy posts. Please enter me in your delightful notebook drawing. I love the covers of them!
Thanks, Cindi

I forgot to mention that gardening if my craft! Cindi

My favorite craft is anything that involves paint - acrylics, oils, you name it. Painting is my thing.
I wish I was more crafty for sure...but I think scrapbooking is my thing...and I would like to get back to it! Thanks for the chance-I am a happy subscriber :)
De-lurking from this side of the computer. I have that tutorial saved as a favorite so when I have a chance I can make some too. I dabble in a lot of crafts (beading, knitting, crochet, sewing) but I must say that my proudest is the sewing because I just learned how to sew this summer. I've had a machine for years but was intimidated by it. Now I'm making tote bags, zippered clutches, quilts. I'm very proud to have overcome my fear of my sewing machine.
Thanks for the giveaway and the reminder of wanting to make these notebooks!
My favorite craft is anything where I can use photos.....I am one crazy picture taking mama! lol My favorite craft however is where I took some pic and printed them out on fabric and then made lampshades with them. When the lights are turn on and the pictures are backlight..........aaahhhhh! Lovely!
I made a wall-hanging birth announcement for my daughter that matched her bedding and room decor. I had it hanging on our hospital door and I just felt so proud of myself. Her name is Reagan Which means "little ruler" so that's what I put on it.
I think these notebooks are too cute!
My favorite craft is latch hooking rugs, I don't get to do it much though because all those tiny bits of yarn seem to have a luring effect on tiny hands and they get lost!

At the moment I am loving 1940's fabrics and images...and am having fun decopauging both on to canvas. Tomorrow I will love something completely different. Ahhh...that's the way it is with us crafty girls!
Congrats on your 100th post. My favorite craft is using polymer clay. I have been making clay creations for around 15 years and love it. Love those notebooks, I would use them to jot down all of my clay ideas.

Gorgeous notebooks. :p
My favorite, stop everything craft, is sewing..usually clothes for my kids, but pretty much anything. My last pride inducing project was a little purse, involving sewing AND painting. :D
I don't stick with any one craft at all, we go from one to another, creating this and doing that- makign painted tshirts- to seeing what we can create...like scrapbooking although not professional like alot
What cute notebooks!
I'd have to say my first sewing project that I took a lot of pride in were these burp clothes ( http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2008/01/burp-cloth-tutorial.html ). The mommys that I gave them to absolutely loved them.
I am on a bag making kick right now.
My favorite craft is making the clipboards - as evident by my Sept 1st blog. It was so much fun I invited my sister and niece over and they had a blast, too! Also, I made one for my friend who is a RN and she loved it! Nurses always need something to write all of their notes on. Other than that, I love to scrapbook and am in a scrapbook group! I'd love to win and show off my new journals!
I have just gotten started... but making one of my husbands old dress shirts into a dress for my little girl was so fun. Plus she loves knowing it was one of Daddy's shirts. Oh and I love the applique tutorial you have here. So easy to understand.
I love these!! My favorite craft is making scrapbook photo calendars of my children!
You know that I am a jouranl fanatic....throw my name in the hat for sure!
I LOVE painting but right now you have put the flower making bug in my head....thanks, I think? :)!
My favorite is my scrapbook pages.
I put a lot of effort and time in them so I really love the pages just as much as I love the photos.
They can be seen at my flickr page.
Love those notebooks! They would be perfect to jot down notes for school or for future craft project ideas!
I made bean bags plus a bag to carry them in out of an old pair of pajama bottoms yesterday. They weren't exactly beautiful, but the boys had fun with them.
My favorite craft is scrapbooking. I need to get started working with some of the craft supplies backlog that I have! Thanks for the opportunity to win your lovely notebooks!

Super cute notebooks, I love your stuff and really love your blog. I would say my favorite craft is buying scrap supplies, urr I mean scrapbooking! I love to scrap anything I can get my hands on, lately it has been frames. Thanks for a great site and great giveaway!
I really enjoy your blog!! My new favorite craft has to be the one I just finished making...scrapblocks. You can look at them at our blog: http://sisterlylovecardco.blogspot.com
And I know I will love the Black Apple Doll when I learn how to make them in a couple of days...so excited!!
Congrats!
The most appreciated gifts are various bed quilts that the family members have. I think Emily's is my favorite of all.
You have a great blog - I get lots of good ideas (that someday I will do, but we all know how that works) so I need the book to write them down in?
I really like paper crafts - making cards, scrapbooking, etc. My other favorite thing is knitting purses.
Love the journals!!!
super cute notebooks! My favorite craft would be to make handmade greeting cards!
I love to crochet, but I haven't had any time lately.
Thanks!

Wow, there are a LOT of comments here. Good job. Love the journals and I have to admit I get most of my ideas from you. Your blog is one of my favorites. Anyhow, my favorite craft is baking and decorating! I make really good sugar cookies (not to toot my own horn...Toot Toot).
I don't know if I have a favorite craft. If I had to pick, it would be soap making. But recently my child went to a birthday party and as a gift he gave 3 beanbags that I made. I knitted them and stuffed them with beans.
pinkveganmiso(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love making simple frames.
Cute Notebooks!
I'm new to your site and have bookmarked so many projects to try! My fav craft I've ever made are the paper machie letters I made for my daughter Zella's room. I covered them in fun, bright fabric. so cute!
I'm crossing my fingers for the notebooks. :)
Lori
i have recently become addicted to making your decoupaged notebooks after seeing the tutorial.
i would love to have these, made by the original decoupage queen!
Love these...I have tried them myself, but yours are way cuter! I think one reason that mine didn't turn out just so is that I used wrapping paper, which is so much thinner than scrapbook paper. I am going to make one for my sister and send it to her in Texas, so I think I will try thicker paper.
My favorite craft is handpainting canvases. I have done some here and there...I do them for each holiday and hang them in the middle of an old set of glass cabinet doors that I have hanging in my living room. I also have made several for gifts...babies being born, birthdays, etc. Mommies use them on their hospital room doors, then later in the nursery. I always like to include a Bible verse or spiritual saying on them.
Have a great weekend!
I hope scrapbooking counts!
Also card making some.
Those ate adorable! I love sewing!
Congrats on your 100th post!!
My favorite craft project that I ever made was a knit dress for my 4 year old (and it still fits 2 years later!!). She loves it and everyone is so kind and has nice comments about it.
Love the notebooks, Kristin! I guess my favorite crafts at the moment are making cards, scrapbooking & making a few 'decorating for Fall' items! =)
Well I turned a couple of old Tshirts that an ink pen exploded on into T-shirt bags. One hangs in our pantry and holds potatoes (plus since tis the season zucchini).
I have a pic on my blog where the baby was put in the bag with her diaper stash on a day trip. http://thedcookshouse.blogspot.com/2008/09/so-this-is-from-trip-to-family-farm.html
Easy, and a great use for old Tshirts that you can't really wear. Or maybe outgrown ones if you have kids? Making little tote bags or something.
My favorite craft right now is sewing...although, I haven't had much time with a newborn and a two year old! My current favorite project is a curtain I made for our kitchen door. I've gotten quite a few compliments, and it does look goof - if I do say so myself. :)

I found an old silver tray at an estate sale and it was all scratched up in the middle. I used leftover fabric from the duvet I'd made for the guest room and decopaged it on the interior of the tray for a cute magnetic memo board. the outside is the pretty scalloped edge of the tray. It looks so cute on the wall in the room and serves as my reminder for monogramming orders (I keep my machines in that room too.)
my favorite craft to make is my dolls.I just can't seem to stop!!
My favorite craft is scrapbooking. I recently used my scrapbooking skills to make a memorial shadow box, see here....http://primacraftymomma.blogspot.com/2008/08/memorial-shadow-box.html
My koalas...check them out here:

I love piecing quilts. I don't really like to quilt by hand, but I do enjoy putting the tops together. I am proud to do this because my grandmother was a fabulous quilter.

Just wanted to tell you I love all the ideas on your site!
My favorite craft is... anything I can decoupage!
I just bought a sewing machine (though I have NO idea how to use it) so I'm hoping to try out some of your sewing ideas... er, soon!
I love those notebooks! Your blog is fantastic. I don't think I'm crafty by nature. I try but it seems to come to others so much easier.
But I have loved making hairbows for my girlies and crocheting blankets for all of my children (and given a few away).
I'm just now trying to decoupage some things. Right now I have a small box drying on the table to put all of our scissors in.
love all of your darling ideas... i am just discovering the fun of decoupaging, so i love all the crafting with that... those birds were pretty darn cute, too!!!
I'm tried of watching USC walk all over OSU. BUT I love the note books. Yours look better than the ones I did last night.
im not that crafty by any means but i am good at photoshop. my favorite "craft" so far is making pictures of my husband skiing look aged/vintage-y. i am decorating our son's room in a vintage-y ski fashion so those pictures will look awesome!
oh what lovely books! hope you pick me!!
My favorite craft is scrapbooking and my favorite project to date was the album I hade from our honeymoon! Our family has enjoys looking at all of the pictures from it, they say they feel like they were there too!
Neato Notebooks!!!
My favorite craft of late has got to be the Child's Tent that we did... LOTS of Fun and super easy following Boutique Nutmegs tutorial (that I found on Sew Momma Sew)
All your projects are so inspiring... I'm eyeing the dollhouse!
Love your blog!!!
Lala :o)
Love the notebooks! One of my favorite crafts is a coat hanger I made with vinyl lettering and knobs from a home improvement store. It hangs by our front door and we always get comments on it.
These are beautiful! I hope to try some this week. My favorite craft, at the moment, is making baby blankets and embellished baby wipe cases.
Love your blog - it gives me so many ideas. More than I can ever find time for!! :)
I Just barely found your blog and LOVE it. I must say the covered notebooks are my favorite. Your tutorials are amazing...so easy to follow and I love the pictures! My favorite craft is making baby gifts, burp cloths from cloth diapers that are embellished with ribbons, ric rac etc. and bibs with terry cloth backs that velcro close.
My favorite craft is making greeting cards. Love those notebooks!
Lurker here also .. but I'll come out of the shadows to join!
My favorite craft that I do? Probably those flower hair clips.... I also love making fabric appliques for aprons as well, but that's as far as I've gotten!!
I DO want to learn how to make these journal. I've looked at the modge podge I don't know how many times, but haven't bought any b/c I don't know which is better: gloss or matte. Pathetic, isn't it?!!
Well, I am duly impressed with your beautiful notebooks!
I actually have a couple of favorites that I end up making as a sort of therapy on a regular basis. :) (With 2 gorgeous daughters, 6 & 3, adopted from Ethiopia, I need the therapy! Haha) We make jam 3 times a year and make our own label featuring a recent photo of my daughters on it. I make jewelry out of Ethiopian coins and vintage beads. My favorite, though, is making memory cookbooks from my family's recipes and photos. Made one called Cinnamon Rolls and Tea Parties about my grandmothers, handbound it and gave it for holiday gifts to relatives last year. I'm making Ethiopian cookbooks this year.
~Beth
I've been meaning to make myself some of these...but haven't yet. I'm so glad you're giving some away! Pick me! My favorite crafts are ones I do with my girls. The "Lazy Girl Slipcover" was my most recent project!
Great notebooks. I'm new to your blog but love the hairclips. My favorite craft is scrapbooking, but I find myself sewing for the little ones more often. Thanks for the chance to win.
alliehdgs at hotmail.com
I love these journals!
I cannot commit to a favorite craft! I'm so fickle. Right now I'm loving sewing, but I also do paper crafts, and tole painting.
I just recently made a skirt set for my kids and neice from a pair of shorts. I added ruffles to make it a skirt, then appliqued hearts onto a tee. The kids love it and it got lots of family compliments. :)
I am in my dark house with no electricity from the hurricaine and we rigged the computer dsl for a short time from our car!!! So I really wish I could win! I never win anything!!! Crossing my fingers and hot in Texas. Great Givaway!!! My favorite craft is hairbows, clipboards and anything modge pog!!!
Its hard to pick just one craft! I'm pretty much drawn to recycled crafting.
My favorite craft is sewing, for sure!
Love your blog and love this giveaway!
I am delurking for this one! I love that tutorial you gave. Making some of my own is on my craft to-do list!! I'm thinking my favorite craft-ish thing is to painting or altering furniture.
My favorite craft is Christmas cookies!!!
I love the notebooks..I don't comment to much but I love your blog lots of cool crafts ...
my favorite craft is making cards...or just making something! lol
http://yelowflowersgarden.blogspot.com/
I hope I'm not too late!! I was on a 'blog fast' and I'm just coming back!! My favorite craft was a 'teacher's paint bucket' -- wrapped in scrapbooking paper and filled with goodies -- then presented to the teacher on the first day of school! Would also make GREAT holiday gift containers too!
Love the notebooks! My favorite project was something similar, I covered an old composition notebook with scrapbook paper and made it into a guest book for our new home. I was so excited to have the first guests sign it!
I love to make jewelry!!! I love your tutorials and have been coming back again and again for them. I will use them for Christmas gifts as well as my Homemade with Love edition!
Cute!!
My newest craft obsession is making wreaths. Yesterday I made a glass bulb wreath and a hydrangea wreath.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
My latest thing is picking up old saw blades and other circular metal items, painting them like flowers, and nailing them to my fence. I have a little garden started.
I am not very craft but I like to scrapbook, I can also decorate cakes really good.
thanks
jen62728@aol.com
not at all crafty, unfortunately...but i once decoupaged a tiny box for my husband (then bf) and cut out little hearts with body parts/qualities so that he could have a "box of me." :)
andrewandkristan(at)hotmail.com
very nice notebooks! Now, I will be honest and say that I am not a crafty person. But I do like to make envelopes out of scrapbook paper and give them to friends or send them out in the mail, and people have complimented me on those!
