An Anchr Giveaway!


Have you heard of Anchr.co??

I just found out about it today AND they are having a big giveaway. 
That is the awesome-sauce right there.

Anchr.co is a community for asking and answering visual questions on all the topics you're interested in! For instance, I put this question up about Chloe's new Boston Red Sox costume:

And I asked the question... "Should this Boston win?"
Then, anyone can vote on the picture. Yes or No. You can also make a collage with choices on the pictures, for instance, "Which costume should win?" with 3 pictures. 
Right now, it's 50/50 even on Chloe. :-)

So, it a fun social site and it's a great new way to advertise your products and posts as well!!!

Here is the giveaway information. All you have to do to win 1 of 5 $50 Amazon Gift Cards is:

*Sign up for a new account at http://www.anchr.co and earn 25 Anchr points (so easy to do, just post, vote, and comment) by Nov. 20th at 5pm Pacific Time, when the drawing happens.

You can also win if someone you INVITE wins!!! 1 $50 Amazon Gift Card for each invited person that wins (up to 5 total):

*Invite friends to win (once you have set up an Anchr account) using this link: https://www.anchr.co/settings/?tab=friends

A Marvelous Mess and Big Puppy

Hey, Welcome to my Marvelous Mess Party!!!
Check out what I made for Chloe this past week:


She's my little Red Sox doggy. It fits because, ya know, she's a Boston Terrier. 
And, I thought of just which player she could be and came up with the idea (then found out that I wasn't the first with this idea, but what they hey?):
Not "Big Papi" but "Big Puppy"!! Get it, get it? Huh? 
I know, kinda corn ball. 
But, I'm banking on the Red Sox to help me win this Pet costume contest  and I need your *votes*  to do it. Of course, the party isn't open until another couple of days......so, I promise, I'll definitely give the link to it you can go to vote!!!

*update* Chloe lost. 
:-( 
To a lizard dressed as King Arthur. Seriously.

Wanna see some more of Chloe?




Now, here is my fave from last weeks party:

Faux Ribboned Pumpkins from Gluten Free From A-Z

Now on to the party!

Steampunk Dog Costume and Pumpkin


I tried out a little Dog Steampunk costume I had made for Chloe. As you can see she 
looooooooooooooooooovvvvves it. She's got puffed sleeves, a little mini victorian hat, and a wide skirt with lots of underskirts. The hat has the more steampunkiness:
Ya know, odd metal bits that appear to have purpose beyond style. 

Speaking of odd metal bits. Take a look at this pumpkin I saw recently!
