A Shameless Plea

Hey there, friends!  Happy weekend!  I'm so excited about how rockin' this week's Shine on Friday's party is!  We're up over 300 links and going strong...be sure to stop by and be inspired.  In the meantime, I have a little favor to ask of you.

I'm in a contest right now, the Top 25 Creative Moms, over at Circle of Moms, and I could use your help.
I'm up against a bunch of other fabulous bloggers, and at the moment, I'm #37...so close to getting in that top 25!  In fact, I'm less than 100 votes away from the blog in 25th place.  So, if you like what you see here at One Artsy Mama, would you take a minute to help a girl out?  You don't have to sign up for anything or register for anything, all you do is go to this link, find One Artsy Mama, and click vote.  In fact, you can vote once every 24 hours if you're so inspired.  Even if I don't win, I'm honored to have your vote and to have you as readers and friends.  Thanks a million!

In other news, I'm super excited to tell you that today is the first meeting of an "in real life" Crafty Ladies group I've started.  I have six friends coming over tonight to work on two Valentine projects I'll be showing you later on next week.  I'll give you a little sneak peek...I took a little trip yesterday to get supplies:

I just love how it smells in Home Depot, don't you?  It's such a store full of possibilities!  A DIY-er's dream.

Anyway, stay tuned to see what we're up to...and you won't want to miss the conversation I had with Mr. Lumber Department {pictured above} who thought I was more than a little off my rocker. 

But before I show you those projects, I've GOT to show you Little Crafter's Photo Valentines.  Come back tomorrow to see how they turned out!  They make. me. melt.  Sigh.

Hugs & Glitter,

{and thanks for the votes!}
