Hello, everyone!  I'm so glad to see you here at Creative Me Monday!  Last week was a great week, with a lot of wonderfully inspiring projects (no surprise there).  I got to do some sewing last week, but I can't show you yet... I'm still working on it and it's a gift, so no can show until after Christmas.

CHRISTMAS!!!  

It's next weekend!  

Are you ready?  What last minute projects are you working on this week?  Don't forget to link up at the end of this post!

Maybe this will help motivate you in your crafting endeavors... 

A Giveaway from Pick Your Plum!

Now, just incase you don't know what Pick Your Plum is, I'll give you the info.  Pick Your Plum is a daily deals site for crafters.  It is awesome!  Each day (Monday through Friday) Pick Your Plum lists an item at a ridiculously amazing discount.  There are only a certain number available, and most of them sell out really quickly, so you have to be fast!  You can stay in the loop by signing up here.  When you do, you will receive their daily discount alerts.  This way you won't miss a deal.  Here are some of their previous deals...

Got it.

 

 Got this one too.

Missed this one. 

Pick Your Plum is giving one lucky Southern Institute reader a $25 Plum Box.  

What's a Plum Box, you may ask?  It's a box full of $25 worth of crafting swag!  How cool is that?  It may not be what you see in the pictures above, but rest assured it will be awesome!

All you have to do to enter is one or both of the following:

• Sign up for the Pick Your Plum newsletter here, so you don't miss a sale, and leave me a comment.
• "Like" Pick Your Plum on Facebook and leave me a separate comment.

For extra entries you leave me a separate comment for each project you link up!

You must have a shipping address in the USA, and you must leave a way for me to contact you if you win.  No Email = No Win!

You can enter until Creative Me Monday closes on Saturday night, and I'll announce the winner at the next Creative Me Monday.  Good Luck!

Okay, it's time to link up!  Just a few guidelines for linking up.  Please:

1. Follow The Southern Institute and display the Creative Me Monday button somewhere in your post or on your blog.  The button html is at the top of the post.  Just copy and paste!
2. Don't have anything new?  Show us something from your archives...old to you is new to us!  
3. You can link up as many things as you'd like, the more the better your chances of being the featured link next week!  
4. Visit at least two other blogs and leave some comment love.  We are a community that supports one another, right? Right!
5. No shop links please.  You can link up a giveaway as long as it's attached to a project that you're linking up.

There's no featured blog this week, because of the giveaway, but I'll resume the Featured Blog next week.
