Today is an extra special day at Creating Amazing!! I am super excited to have my very first guest here today! I would like to introduce you all to Steph from Pumpkin Loves!!
Thank you so much Sarah for letting me guest post here at Creating Amazing. This is a blog swap sponsored by Melissa at Serendipity & Spice, Thanks Melissa for putting this on.
Hi guys My name is Steph from Pumpkin Loves.
Recently we had a triple baby shower at work. In my opinion I believe that if you give one person something you have to give them all something (Even if you don’t know them that well, etc.)
#1: Regan
For Regan I made a very simple blanket.
This blanket only requires 2 pieces of fabric (I went for the cozy raised fabric and a flannel to make it softer) and 1 piece of batting. Sew 3 sides around turn right side out and sew an inch border around the rest of blanket closing as you go.. EASY, right? I also packaged it in a bow with ducky wrapping paper.
#2: Molly
For Molly I made her 3 burp cloths using cloth diapers and putting a strip of fabric in the middle. I also made her a pacifier clip using a ribbon and overall clip. Easy and can be interchanged with any pacifier because it has Velcro. All packaged in a clear paint can (which everyone loves)
#3: Val
For Val I made another simple blanket and one burp cloth see earlier directions for both.
AND.. There you go! Three gifts that everyone loved and very easy. I hope you guys enjoy and Thank you again Sarah for letting me post here.
Thank you Steph for joining me here at Creating Amazing!! and thank you for stopping by….

Well, I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad first. I’m sorry to tell you that I’m changing the Featured Follower a little bit. Instead of every Friday, I will be spotlighting a Featured Follower the on the first of every month and they will be featured for the ENTIRE MONTH!! That’s the good news. Now I know this means I won’t be able to have as many Featured Followers this will make the monthly Featured Follower even more exposed.
Please remember if you’d like to be a Featured Follower on Creating Amazing all you have to do is follow me on Linky Followers, Facebook or the one I prefer would be for you to sign up to receive Creating Amazing Posts in your email. All you have to do is input you email address in the box on the right and you’ll never miss a post again!!
Thanks for stopping by!

It’s Friday!! and today I would like to introduce you to our newest Featured Follower. Everyone say hi to Jenny from The NY Melrose Family. Jenny’s organizational skills are extraordinary! I wish she could come over to my house a help me out Take a look at her walk in closet. I love the hooks for jewelry and the shelf for her shoes! I’m dreaming here!
Look at all the shelves for shoes
You know those clear plastic craft carts that hold all your precious craft supplies. I know I bought mine to keep everything organized, when really it just holds the junk supplies 
and because it’s see through it’s obvious to everyone that it’s a mess. Well, here’s Jenny’s solution to that problem. It’s such a clever idea! All you need to do is line the drawers with craft paper! Why didn’t I think of that
Before
After!
Isn’t that such a great and easy idea
