I am an Auburn alum so it's not difficult to say that I make Auburn crafts around this time of year. Every year I am trying to celebrate my Auburn traditions by making a craft of some sort before the season starts. Last year it was making "AU" shirts for the Brindley girls: Sis, Mom, and me.<br />

Christmas is by far my most favorite holiday. I think it is my favorite from all of my <a href="http://adayinthelifeofthetodds.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-i-have-abnormal-memories-of-my.html">fond childhood memories</a>. ahh, memories. And I can't wait for Christmas this year.<br />
<br />
Becuase I am so impatient, I decided to celebrate early! ellebeeTee Originals is having a 20% off sale this weekend. And yes, that is an extra 20% off the already low sale prices. Use the code MERRY at the checkout.<br />
<br />
Don't wait too long because the sale ends Sunday evening.<br />
<br />

Use discount code <em>HONOR</em> to receive 30% off everything in the <a href="http://lbtoriginals.bigcartel.com/">LBT Store</a>. You can choose from a yarn wreath, Hair Blooms, or even the newest item: Bloom Bows. All are available 30% off!<br />
<br />
The best part of this special celebration is that 50% of all proceeds will go to my brother-in-law's FRG Unit Fund (more specifically the 720 EOD Unit FRG Fund). Josh is currently serving "overseas", defending our freedom by disarming one bomb at a time. It's not easy but someone has to do it. You can read more about <a href="http://lbtoriginals.blogspot.com/2011/03/justice-sacrifice-patroit-my.html">my contribution</a> to his unit and by buying an item from the "Justice Sacrifice Patriot" line (aka JSP line).<br />

I mostly use <a href="http://www.kraftfoods.com/">Kraft Foods</a> for my recipes. They are easy and don't require a butt load of ingredients. There is nothing worse than wanting to make a quick, easy meal and having to get our 20 items. Some of the best recipes require 6 ingredients or less. Don't take my word for it.<br />
<br />
A couple of years ago I ventured out into the world of desserts. I can barely make a cake without messing it. Just ask my sister who crunched into an egg shell by eating my very first cake to bake. The sad part is that it was just a couple of years ago when this happened. At any rate I was looking for a recipe with minimal ingredients and not eggs. Problem solved!

We have made it part of our tradition to go to the beach as much as possible during the summer starting with Memorial Day weekend. <br />
<br />
Last summer I decided that I needed to make a beach blanket for our many trips to the beach. It's nice to sit in a chair, but sometimes you just need to lay down and take a nap in the sun (and wake up some odd minutes later to find you are officially friend. ah the beach). How in the world would I find cheap enough fabric to make a large beach blanket? Then it hit me. I have a ton of college T-shirts that are either A) too little, B) have armpit stains, C) both A and B. So why not sew together my college shirts to make a beach blanket. boo ya. Problem solved. So I gathered 20 T-shirts and started the process.<br />
<br />

The next task was learning to sew in a straight line. Not going to lie. It wasn't the best straight line ever sewn, but they would have to do.<br />
<br />

Row by row it slowly came together. 4 rows with 5 T-shirts in each row isn't an easy task and it's very time-consuming.<br />

Sorta. <br />
<br />
One of my co-workers told me a couple of months ago that he wanted to buy his wife a yarn wreath for her birthday. He said she likes the color red, cardinals, and lighthouses. ....and go!<br />
<br />
I have been thinking about how to incorporate all 3 things, but it just wouldn't look right if I did a lighthouse with a red bird. So I decided to ditch the lighthouse and focus on red and the cardinal.<br />
<br />
I hope his wife enjoys it as much as I did in making it. It really had a good time trying to think outside my box and venture to a different area with a yarn wreath. And it didn't turn out too shabby.<br />

<br />
My birthday weekend is next weekend. eek! How old will I be? Well, older than I feel I should be. I still think of myself as a 17ish year old. It's crazy to to think I am another year old. Sadly once I hit 21, all birthday years have been not-so-thrilling. I have enjoyed my celebrations though...just not the new number that I turn.<br />
<br />
To kick off my birthday week through the birthday weekend (that's 10 days of celebrating!), I am doing a discount store-wide! (Get excited people!) You too can celebrate my wonderful, new number by getting a 27% discount in the LBT Store. (And yes, I will be 27. 3 away from 30. Not too thrilled about that at all.)<br />
<br />
Don't forget that Easter is roughly 3 weeks away and your loved ones would love an ellebeeTee Originals gift.<br />
<br />
I will post the discount code on the blog and facebook page on Thursday evening. <br />
<br />
Happy Shopping!<br />
<br />
and happy 27th birthday to me on April 8. :)<br />

It has been a bit hectic lately so there is a good excuse for not showing anything new today. I have been in a "remodel the house" kind of mood though. Weird. So to honor that mood, the series (y'know the series that began with <a href="http://lbtoriginals.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-series-and-background.html">unique picture frame</a>) continues with our homemade kitchen curtains!<br />
<br />
When we bought our house in May 2009, I wasn't too excited about the bay (like) windows in the kitchen. I have never really liked bay windows anyway. They remind me of something straight up from the 80s. And I am not a fan of fashion, trends, and ESPECIALLY music (unless it's country music) from the 80s. I know, I am weird. Here is what I was working with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1rvGrdXxGOTqU-pcSD7153wcV86ICtDo9BW06BrDMRAc__P95Ma66LYTNjiMCbzXF48rO_B9qyFyJdwkk_8b-t9Nc4X5qa-UURaOBT7bCk1ed2tdfAIBqZ8OIIaJAqnZB076V1y4aE7T/s1600/DSC03038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1rvGrdXxGOTqU-pcSD7153wcV86ICtDo9BW06BrDMRAc__P95Ma66LYTNjiMCbzXF48rO_B9qyFyJdwkk_8b-t9Nc4X5qa-UURaOBT7bCk1ed2tdfAIBqZ8OIIaJAqnZB076V1y4aE7T/s320/DSC03038.JPG" width="212" /></a></div>This was after we had painted it a guacamole green, which I LOVE!!!! My husband wasn't too thrilled about it, but it sure does beat it being white which it was when we moved in. How boring. Plus we have navy blue countertops. Again not my first choice, but they have grown on me. They look great with my kitchen decor and colors (green, blue, orange, and yellow). Now back to the curtains...<br />
<br />
I knew that I wanted something different from the rest of the house when it came to window dressings for the kitchen. The only window in the house that had blinds on it when purchased was the tiny window in the master bathroom. We had bought blinds for 7 of the windows so blinds were out in the kitchen. I wanted the kitchen to stand out and be different. I was leaning more towards roman shades, because I wanted something to cover the entire window at night-time. I get MAJORLY freaked out at night when the windows are open thinking that someone is looking in. Creepy.<br />
<br />
Do you know how much roman shades cost?! Not to mention 3 custom roman shades?! And do you know how much a cheap-o I am?! A special thanks goes to my mom for giving the inspriation to make my very own kitchen curtains. And voila!<br />

Get set. It's time for the weekly update featuring LBT! I know you are completely pumped about this. It has to be the highlight of your week, because it sure is mine.<br />
<br />
I don't have anything new to introduce today to the store. However, that doesn't mean that I don't have ideas and crafts bought for future items. I also have been getting quite a few "special" requests for items that aren't in the <a href="http://www.lbtoriginals.bigcartel.com/">LBT Store</a>. To that I say...keep 'em comin'! I love to try something new especially if it something that you want to see me make. You can email those special requests to my email: info{at}lbtoriginals{dot}com.<br />
<br />
Since there's no new products today, I thought I would introduce a new series to the blog called "Other items that I have made in order to show you how crafty I am." The title is kinda wordy and I am looking to shorten it just a touch. At any rate, we are living in money-tight times. With gas beginning to skyrocket again causing groceries and other essentials items to increase as well, we are all looking for inexpensive ways to live and give. (This is why I begin the year's Christmas shopping on December 26th. You can get some of the best deals and spread it out over the course of the year to trick your wallet.) With that said, I need to give a small background to who I am. <br />
<br />
Hi, I am Leslie (aka LBT). As a young child, I was never the thrifty one. If I had a dollar to spend, I was looking for something to buy whether it was a Lisa Frank pencil or a pack of gum. As I have grown, I learned to respect what a dollar stood for and not just any dollar: a hard-earned dollar. My college years taught me a thing or 2 about that. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Finance. I am all about money since those 4 years focused on the study of money and how to invest and make it multiply. I must say that I am not very good when it comes to knowledge about investments such as stocks, bonds, 401k, IRAs, etc. I know just about as much as the average person. However, I do know how to look for the best deals and crafts items out of those deals. And here I am sharing those tips and ideas with you. <br />
<br />
My first featured item is a gift that I made for a one year old girl. Because I have 3 dog children and no human children, I am not the best at knowing what toys or clothing items children of any age need/want/should have. Plus I knew that this little girl would be getting a lot of toys and clothes (which is wonderful), but I had a fear of duplicating a gift. And me being me, I wanted to give something different and meaning full to the little girl's mother since she is a close friend of mine. So I came up with a picture gift...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUk_DJxha-klwsu-qS55yPgae6CCaSKBqr_BSpEabrr_B31uvCsje0idoopf-sgqkqrjNNnIcQksWtFxXskvpapJHTwBuwOLHZ1uq7PFz4_mMPbRtM2vKs6vnjAOJqouuLEcEhK8WIXfnE/s1600/DSC04156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUk_DJxha-klwsu-qS55yPgae6CCaSKBqr_BSpEabrr_B31uvCsje0idoopf-sgqkqrjNNnIcQksWtFxXskvpapJHTwBuwOLHZ1uq7PFz4_mMPbRtM2vKs6vnjAOJqouuLEcEhK8WIXfnE/s320/DSC04156.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Basically the whole point was to have a picture frame that could match Farley's room and could be easily interchanged with newer and more current pictures. <br />
<br />
The frame is an 8x10 black from Hobby Lobby, which was about $8 to $10. If you are looking for some decorative or even plain frames, they have the best selection and prices. They mark them down to 50% on a regular basis. What a great deal! The background paper is a sheet that I found in the clearance section at Hobby Lobby. I think it was maybe 10 cents. You can also use wrapping paper or tissue paper...just whatever is lying around the house will work. Then I traveled over another craft aisle at (you guessed it Hobby Lobby) and found these cute stick-on letters. I think they were about $5 for a pack, but I am sure you can find other less expensive letterings at Wal-mart or even make your own! The last touch was a 19 cent 4x6 picture that I stole off the mother's fb page. sneaky. And there you go! You have an inexpensive and personable gift for a loved one or for yourself.<br />
<br />
Thanks for joining me. I will keep crafting and you keep reading.<br />

What could I do to show my support? I want to give, but it is hard to send hundreds of dollars. Times are tough. If there was a way that I could make something and show my support and give, then I could make that work. And it came to me: the Justice Sacrifice Patriot Wreath (also known as the "JSP" wreath).<br />
<br />
Some of your may or may not know that my brother-in-law is currently serving our country. He is in the 720 EOD unit which is currently deployed. His job is to disarm bombs, not one of the safest jobs in the miliary in the least. He is awesome at what he does. <br />
<br />
Then there is my sister. She is awesome at being his support system. She has never lived anywhere but at home and when they married, she had to move close to halfway around the world to Mannheim, Germany to be with him. Is that dedication/love or what?<br />
<br />
This is how my thought process started. I mean I am related to "awesomeness". Here I am living in the good ol' Alabama being an average citizen. What could I do to help them out? What could I do to help out his unit? What could I do help out the men and women who currently give their life for you and me every day just so we can have our freedom? That's when I thought of making a military line: a wreath and Hair Blooms. It's not much, but it is more than just sitting at home taking advantage of being an American. The "JSP" line honors my brother-in-law, Josh, and his unit. <br />

Half of every sale from the "JSP" line will go directly to the 720 EOD Unit FRG Fund. This fund is set up to directly support these soldiers and their families. My sister told me a heartbreaking story about how thousands of dollars were supposed to be raised last year for the fund, but the events (ie bake sales, etc) never happened for whatever the reason. Their unit is without most of the needed funds. I hope you will help me support the 720 EOD Unit by purchasing an item (or 2) from the military "JSP" line. <br />
<br />
If you would like to contribute any other way to the 720 EOD Unit, please contact me at info{at}lbtoriginals{dot}com.<br />

No?<br />

<br />
Oh, I know. Stay tuned. Your first purchase might be sooner than you think.<br />

(Did that sound too creepy? What I meant to say was that you will want to make your first purchase once you see what is to come.)<br />

Have you seen? <a href="http://www.peggyanndesign.com/">Peggy Ann Design</a> is celebrating <a href="http://www.peggyanndesign.com/2011/02/month-of-hannah-kickoff-party.html">Month of Hannah</a>. It's all about Hannah from February 14th to March 14th (with the celebration of Valentine's Day, her birth, and her anniversary). That is a lot of celebrating, but I can't blame her. My birthday is always a week long. It is more like a birthweek instead of birthday. (Come to mention it...we have just over a month until my birthweek. Now that has me thinking...hmmm.)<br />
<br />
So in honor of the celebrations, is currently having the giveaways of all giveaways and ellebeeTee Originals is participating! You can win a $15 store credit to the LBT Store. How awesome is that? uh, VERY! So make sure you <a href="http://www.peggyanndesign.com/2011/03/month-of-hannah-giveaway-16-ellebeetee.html">follow directions and make a comment</a>. While you are there check out the <a href="http://peggyanndesign.bigcartel.com/">the precious makings</a> of Hannah. You will not be disappointed. I even own one of her creations and I love it!<br />

You can now purchase your very own hair accessory(ies) from the LBT Store. I call it Hair Blooms. It rather catchy if I do say so myself. <br />
<br />
I have to admit that in my recent years I am not one to particularly wear anything in my hair besides a ponytail holder. (even then, I only wear a ponytail...at my house.) I do LOVE (with all my heart) the precious clips, headbands, and bows that the girls are wearing these days. <br />
<br />
So I got to thinking: when I was younger (as in preschool/early elementary school), what would I have worn? I channeled my young Leslie and came up with these fresh, fun designs. Back in the day I used to be the one to ALWAYS wear barretts and bows. I feel like young Leslie has a good rep with helping the "old" Leslie create a vintage masterpiece....through a hair accessory line.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy Hair Blooms as much as I do. <br />

It's hard work to have multiple full-time jobs. There's my real money-making job; y'know my 40 hour a week job. Also there's my wifely and dog mommy job; y'know my clean up, manage finances, and keep my family alive job. And my newest one is this; y'know my craft-making, my mind never stops racing with new ideas job. <br />
<br />
Yep, and it is the hardest one. Not hardest as in doing, because it is fun making everything. I love it! I mean hardest as in trying to find the time to do it. I wish I had an extra weekend day just to devote to my crafts. I have so many ideas floating around in my noggin that it is hard to pick out just one and execute. For instance, at the end of last summer I had every intention of making a Christmas product and selling. I went out and bought everything. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. Did I get around to completing just one? No, but I did <u>start</u> on one. Isn't that what really matters? I at least attempted.<br />
<br />
Why did you not complete it? you may ask. Well, it's because I had a million ideas floating around in my noggin. Yes. It's true. Check out my "personal" blog for what I had <a href="http://adayinthelifeofthetodds.blogspot.com/2010/07/football-project-preview.html">planned</a> in the fall. I actually did 2 out of 3 on my list though. Go, me.<br />
<br />
So I just have one favor to ask. Can we have 8 days now? Or how about just 4 work days? I can live with either one of those options.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I will keep working my 40 hours, keeping my family alive, and racing ideas around my noggin.<br />
<br />
By the way, have you checked out the new store layout? and do you like it? I need feedback, people.<br />
<br />

Not just any football will do though. It has to be college football...and not just any college football but SEC football. My favorite time of year is being at home on a fall weekend. The weather is sunny with just the right amout of "crispness" in the air. A slight breeze can be felt as you stand outside awaiting kickoff of your favorite team. Yes, I love that time of year.<br />
<br />
So I thought to myself, "Self, why can't it feel like football season year round?" All devoted Southern football fans love to sport their team's colors all year anyway. And that is exactly what I did. <br />
