Comments are now closed! I will be back later today to announce the winner!
I'm in the mood for a giveaway.
How 'bout you?
Let me introduce you to the adorable shopgussy.com. Have you met? This girl makes some of the cutest things I've ever seen!
As you can see, she makes checkbook covers, zippered pouches of all sizes, and just about the sassiest laptop bags I've ever laid eyes on. How cute would I be, going to the coffee shop to do some blogging, carrying my laptop in this? (Oh, to have the freedom to go to the coffee shop, period. Without sippy cups and cheese sticks? Heaven!)
And when I saw these baby blankets (handmade, and in such fun colors!) I was totally sold. Don't you love that spring green?
To enter to win a $25 shop credit to shopgussy.com, just leave me a comment answering this question:What are your favorite types of posts to read on Buzzings of a Queen Bee? Tutorials? Before and after? Crafty stuff? Room decorating? Thrift store re-do's? Recipes? The giveaways? Or even a little dose of cuteness from my kiddos or a peek into my Colorado life?
I'd love to know what keeps you coming back here. That way I can keep delivering! So, thank you. I'll leave comments open until Sunday night. Good luck!
Carrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps me coming back here are your posts about decorating, crafty ideas, and recipes. The Lemon Chicken with Croutons is my favorite recipe you've shared and it's on our menu at least once a month. It's always fun to see pictures of your family too!
I'm having a little give away on my blog too so make sure you stop by:)
Have a great day!!!
I love your tutorials and just finding inspiration through your pictures and ideas! Thanks for a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog because you have simple, manageable redo projects with a few more complicated ones thrown in. I absolutely love seeing what you are working on in-between being a wife and a mom and feel like these are projects I can easily do while also being a wife and mom!
ReplyDeleteI just love your style! My favorite posts are before and afters and redos. I find those to be so inspirational; looking past the surface of something and envisoning it's potential; then uncovering the beauty underneath. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love your crafty ideas (since I don't have a creative bone in my body)! Thanks for all of the fabulous inspiration!
My favorites are the decorating posts and little crafty projects.
ReplyDeleteLove your tutorials (you know I need those), your crafty and decorating tips and most of all, hearing about and seeing some of that cute family of yours! Love giveaways too!
ReplyDeleteJanet
I love reading your blog! I love reading your blogs about decorating! You have some great ideas!
ReplyDeleteHey Carrie! I love a little bit of everything about your blog - crafts, redos, recipes, family stuff, etc. Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the crafts and tutorials, but combining everything you do is so nice! Has a more personal touch that way. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving your before and afters and tutorials! You have amazing decorating taste and I love to see what you do. But any glimpses into your everyday life would be fun too! Like, show show your refrigerator or closet! Maybe then we can see if you are normal and messy!

I love your decorating posts and the before-and-afters, but mostly I just love seeing all your great ideas and getting inspiration, whether its a color, pattern, or something else I can incorporate into my own home.
ReplyDeleteI love your DIY projects!
ReplyDeleteI love all of it! I like that it's a good well rounded group of things that I love! :)
ReplyDeleteI come back for all of the above-tutorials, before/after, creative inspiration. I always leave your little corner of blogland inspired!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I'm gonna have to go with Crafty Stuff as my favorite things on your blog! Thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteI love it all, but mostly the crafts and tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love a good before & after followed by the tutorial on how I can reproduce the same look. Thanks, Carrie.
ReplyDeleteI am loving that green so much!!
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps me coming back is tutorials!
I love them and they make me want to be creative even if I don't have time for them now... I now I can save them and do them when I have time!
Blessings
Patricia
I love the crafts and the tutorials.
ReplyDeleteWow, super cute stuff! I love reading about your thrift store re-dos and your before and afters. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the DIY stuff with your person touch of course!
ReplyDeleteSince I'm new around here, I have to say ALL of it...there are tons of tutorial blogs that I could visit, but they're impersonal...easy for me to forget.
ReplyDeleteBut yours is well-rounded and of course, since I'm in CO too, that just seals the deal for me!
Always love a good tutorial!
ReplyDeleteBefore and after!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your thrift store re-dos and the before and after. You also have some cute tutorials on making fun room decor!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing your crafts and thrift-store redos, but I also just like seeing pictures of your house. I really like your sense of style.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I love it all. If I had to pick my favorite topic I think it would be the thrifty re-dos! It helps me when I'm out and about on what to look for.
ReplyDeleteLove it all!
Is this a cop out? I LOVE IT ALL!! I think a nice mix keeps things interesting. :-) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . how about all of the above? I really look for any ideas about home decorating, and tutorials, but I love it all!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy all of your postings but especially your design inspirations, before and after projects and tutorials. Your style is so beautiful and unique. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I like it all. So helpful, huh? I guess I'm always a sucker for some type of tutorial or crafty thing.
ReplyDeleteI love the decorating, before and afters and crafting post! They inspire me!!
ReplyDeleteI do love a good tutorial any day. I also love your decorating so it is always nice to see decorations to be inspired by! I love it all actually.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, how I would love to win that shop credit. Beautiful stuff.
Making us choose that is so unfair. But if I have to choose, I love the decorating and craft ideas. I'm not a crafty person but you make them easy for anyone even me.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's a mix of all! I like it that you give us a variety and a dose of those sweet baby faces are always great!
ReplyDeleteLove it all... but if I had to narrow it down, I'd say decorating and crafts. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog because of the Gussy giveaway but it looks great. I always love a site than can share a great recipe or how to!
ReplyDeleteCan it be option i: All of the above?
ReplyDelete:)
Ummm..I love seeing your decorating and your thrifty make overs. Ohhh but then I remembered your Advent Calendar so I like your crafty stuff too. :) I think what you are doing is perfect. It's a good mix of all things life and home!
What a great giveaway! I love the fuchsia baby blanket!
ReplyDeleteYour before and afters keep me coming back.....plus your munckins are pretty stickin cute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the thrift store find makeovers. It's so fun to see something old brought back into the now. The posts leave me itching to run to my Goodwill or thrift store and get my makeover on. Thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteI can't say there's a post of yours that I don't like! :) Decorating is always my fave...how you do it on a budget, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, those cute kiddos are always fun to see too! :)
I love the tutorials as well as the crafty projects! I guess I should add the recipes in there too! Great site all around!
ReplyDeleteIt's the recipes for me, due to my loe of cooking, and then the before an afters, just because I love seeing someone's ideas realised, and I find you fearless when it comes to changing things, which is quite inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps me coming back? Umm. Everything you listed. Lol. But probably my FAVORITE things are the before and afters and room decorating. I never feel like I can truly decorate because my toddler ruins most everything. But looking at what you do in your home is inspiring me to branch out a bit in fun ways that still allow for a toddler to roam free without me stressing over what he's going to ruin. Thanks so much for all you share!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite posts are tutorials for home decorating!!
ReplyDeleteHey Carrie:) It's been a while! If I had to choose ONE favorite it would be your DIY's! Love the thrill of making something myself AND saving $ in the meantime:)
ReplyDeleteI like your posts because you have good ideas that are afforable and cute/beautiful/lovely/creative/etc. I think it's fun to have a window into other people's home decor and into their creative mind - it helps me to have a "fresh" perspective in my own home, and sort of "see" things anew.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog because of the crafty things as well as getting to know your family.
ReplyDeleteHolly
I LOVE seeing all your projects. The before and after pictures inspire me so much. I am not at all crafty or talented (really, I'm not) and there are always projects around here. Thanks for giving me ideas. I will definitely continue to check out your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love the tutorials and crafty inspiration, keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteleiselflower@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! I love before and afters, crafty stuff and decorating...I just love having sites to go to for new ideas and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love anything that has to do with decorating as I am a copycat kind of decorator :) I love the tutorials, before/after, and crafty stuff. I do love a good recipe too though. And I can appreciate cute kids as much as the next person :)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!

Oh I LOVE that green blanket! And I LOVE reading and seeing you decorate and re-decorate your home!! I'm living vicariously through you since I am still an apartment liver ;)
ReplyDeleteXO
I saved one of your posts on sanding/staining and I need to use your advice and get on my project of redoing an empire style dresser I got for free!
ReplyDeleteI like all of it but especially the tutorials!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't really matter what you post, I'll keep reading. Love seeing things you've done around your house.

i love all the projects
ReplyDeleteI just enjoy your honesty and simplicity in your life and projects. Plus, it gives me a taste of home when I hear you talk about Colorado. And I now know what Salvation Army I would be going to if I lived with my parents! Have a great weekend - thanks always for the great giveaway opportunities!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and everything you write about. My favorite, however, are the before and afters, especially junk/thrift store makeovers.
ReplyDeleteThe springy green blanket is perfection!
I love the DIY projects - always inspires me for my own inspiration book! I have been very crafty after reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteTutorials, Room decorating and learning about your life are really fun. I have been reading your blog for the last few months and always enjoy what you bring to it. Love all the inspiration. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe DIY with tutorials & before & afters. I LIVE for that kind of stuff & it's where I grab inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThe Before and After are always amazing to me. But my favorites are the thrift store re-do's. I try so hard to see "junk" as "treasures" but my mind doesn't work like yours. I love your style!!
ReplyDeleteI love a good before and after...but I enjoy all your posts!!!
