Crazy Sweet Tuesday

Hey, hey! Welcome to Crazy Sweet Tuesday, where it's always sweets o'clock.

Within the next week I hope to make the move to the self-hosted wordpress site I have been working on. I apologize if you stop by and something weird is happening! I am hoping downtime will be at a minimum, but I appreciate your patience!

If you follow me through Google Friend Connect...please make sure you also follow via Facebook and Twitter. (Or...just use my RSS feed instead!) I am hoping all my GFC friends can come with me to my new digs...but there is a chance the feed transfer will have problems. I don't want you to miss a minute of sugar! Thanks so much for following along!

Second order of business this week...the winner of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software.

Congratulations Judy! I hope you enjoy your software. Thanks for entering the giveaway!

Bummed you didn't win the software? No worries! Remember that Crazy for Crust readers can get $10 off the software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories store, a $20 value! Be sure to use the code STMMMS18039 at checkout to receive this offer.

I have a few freebies for you this week! And the best part is you can use the freebies in any program, because they are .jpg and .png files.

You can get the free downloads here, here, and here.

Crazy Sweet Tuesday & My Memories Giveaway

Welcome to Crazy Sweet Tuesday, where desserts rule the day!

Thank you for coming to Crazy Sweet Tuesday! I have one more giveaway for you, and I'm super excited about it.

I used to scrapbook - a lot. I did it the old fashioned way for a long time; lugging out the cutters and paper and boxes of photos. Then, a few years back, I discovered digital scrapbooking. And it was like the sky opened and angels sang. No mess to clean up! No dangerous tools to keep away from little hands!

While I do create photo books and 12x12 page prints occasionally, hands down my favorite thing to do with digital scrapbooking software is to create printables: invitations, cupcake decorations, tags, and signs. Once you start creating, the options are endless.

When My Memories contacted me and asked if I'd like to be an affiliate, I jumped at the chance. I recently got a new computer, a mac, so the old software I used was not compatible. I was super excited to get my hot little hands started!

What's really cool about this digital scrapbooking software is it comes with tons of papers and embellishments already installed. You don't have to buy anything extra if you don't want too. And the My Memories site has tons of freebies.

If you've been reading some of my posts lately, you've already seen some of my creations in action.

I made the "Smart Cookie" tags and the "Popping By" tags with the My Memories Suite. All with papers, frames, and embellishments that came free with the software!

Today is Jordan's first day of school, and as the head of the Hospitality Committee, I am in charge of organizing snacks in the teachers' lounge this week. I don't just like to drop the snacks and run - I like to leave a little something pretty for the staff to look at. I made this subway art to place on the table. (And, yup, I made it with My Memories!)

{Want it for yourself? Click here for the printable.}

Okay, so now for the fun part. My Memories is offering Crazy for Crust readers a super deal! Want the software? Of course you do!

Buy the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software and enter the code STMMMS18039 at checkout and you will receive $10 off your purchase AND a $10 coupon for the My Memories store! That's a $20 value. Just be sure to enter that code.

But wait. Before you run screaming to the My Memories site...you should enter to WIN your own copy of the software! Because My Memories is giving away one free software package to a lucky Crazy for Crust reader!

The software works on PC or Mac. It's downloaded so no shipping needed...so it's open to anyone!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Good luck!

Okay. Whew. That was a lot of pre-party fun!

Let's start with the features from last week:

Crazy Sweet Tuesday

Hello friends! Welcome to Crazy Sweet Tuesday where sometimes desserts can make you cross-eyed (but in a good way).  I'm "back" from my weekend and excited to start the week!


You all know how I have a soft spot in my heart for the Phoenix area...because I lived their for five years. It's where Jordan was born. Even though I'm a California girl at heart, I looooved Arizona. I know there are lots of you bloggers who live there!  When Our Lady of Cupcakes, a bakery that services the greater Phoenix area, contacted me about a fundraiser they're doing, I knew I wanted to help. Their business is mostly dependent on deliveries...which means they need a good vehicle. They are trying to raise money though sponsorship for a new ride. Each donation gets a goodie, from your name on their website to, of course, cupcakes! If you want to find out more about their fundraising efforts, check out their page. And if you're a blogger lucky enough to live near Chocolate Star Bakery in Scottsdale, go check out some of their goodies! If you decided to donate $25 or more, leave them a comment telling them I sent you. In addition to the perk of your choice...you get a cupcake pop with a crust to try! They made some special for my readers. :)


Now, onto the features!

S'mores Bars in a Jar by Eat at Allie's. Such a cute gift!

Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls by Flour Me With Love. I want these ASAP.

Dipped Chocolate Vodka Dipped Strawberries by Our Life in a Click. These made me run out and buy flavored vodka and strawberries. How much do I love this idea?

Lego Cookies by Making Memories With Your Kids. These are adorable, it makes me wish Jordan would have a lego party.

Coconut Toffee Bark by M Double M. Coconut on toffee? So amazing!

So, guess what I got?

A pie of course!

I swear, every time I wear it I get the most compliments. People who know me often chuckle, because, well, they know me. And a pie necklace is beyond perfect for me.

Here are a few other of her super cute designs:
