guest post Archives - Spoonful of Imagination

I’m so excited to introduce you to my Friend Suzy today! You might have seen her around the web as @suzy6281 or on her own site. I got to work with Suzy last year for a group giveaway, and I truly admire and look up to her! She is so fun and creative, and her ideas are really unique. She has beautiful step by step instructions on her tutorials and a much better gift of stringing words together than I! So, I will stop talking (or typing in this case) and let Suzy take over!

_______________________

I’m Suzy, and I’m the “zookeeper” over at Suzy’s Artsy Craftsy Sitcom. I am an artist, crafter, designer and humor writer living in Atlanta, GA. I love to specialize in vintage crafts and recycled crafts. I like my projects to be unique; something that you won’t find just anywhere. That said, I often find inspiration in odd places such as the plumbing aisle at Home Depot, or shelves at the Dollar Store. I like to look at an item and imagine the possibilities.

And if I don’t have any in mind at that moment, well, I just store it for later. Ask my husband about my huge pickle jar collection, my cardboard box collection, my toilet paper tube collection, or my huge stash of dollar store odds and ends and he’ll just roll his eyes. He’s learned not to just throw things away without running it by me first. Those stashes one day just might be gold!

I’m known for my faux metal crafts created from toilet paper tubes, and at most family gatherings, it is not unusual to be “gifted” with bags of the things. I guess there are worse things than being known as the TP queen.

Really, there must be.

The Sitcom is a place to go for great arts and crafts inspiration. Currently there are over 100 fully illustrated tutorials on my Tutorial Page. I also like to keep things real. I am a humor writer and it is natural to include a bit of the family in my blog. After all, when you have a hubby, a mess of dogs and several daughters, it is pretty easy to find humorous things to write about. There is drama all around! There are doggie issues such as the time we had to risk our lives to try and brush our Chihuahua’s teeth, the time I fell off my husband’s Harley and cracked my ankle (while the bike was on the kickstand), that time I exploded hard-boiled eggs all over my kitchen ceiling (well actually the third time I did that…), my obsession with Tom Selleck and his mustache, that little incident with the jello in the bra…well lets just say there is plenty to make my life a Sitcom.

My tag line, “Life is a Sitcom covered in glitter, hot glue strings, and dog hair. Isn’t it…?” kind of says it all.

Erica Here: Isn’t she awesome!? I want to reach through the computer and give her a hug and have coffee with her! I think a girl’s craft night with Suzy would be about one of the most amazing things. She is so talented and fun! I love that she is known as the TP Queen.

I absolutely adore her quilt and she gives you the pattern free!

Suzy walks you step by step with so many gorgeous pictures on how to make this quilt. I’m not one for patterns, but I think I could do this with her tutorial!

My boys would LOVE to makes these Snowflake Stones of hers.

I wish I could list all her beautiful tutorials, but that is impossible. So, you need to just jump over to her site, browse around a little more, and please introduce yourself and say hi!

When I look at my sidebar, I get so excited about the pretty buttons of sponsors and other bloggers that I love being right there!

I often click on these sidebar buttons to be quickly taken to these sites to see the newest posts or information that might be up.

I think the sponsorship buttons are great because they help us to connect with different and amazing ideas. I just love the engagement and fellowship that comes from mingling with other bloggers.

Would you like to swap blog buttons with me for this next month? I would love to check out your site by clicking your button and encouraging my readers to do the same!

If you are a blogger or small business owner and would like to swap blog buttons, please contact me! I can’t wait to hear from you!

If you don’t want to do a blog swap, but you are still interested in helping to sponsor Spoonful of Imagination you can buy one of the following buttons/add spaces for my sidebar.

My first option is The Serving Spoon ($15) for this 260 x 200 add space.

My second option is The Tablespoon ($10) for this 260 x 120 add space.

My last option is The Teaspoon ($5) for this 125 x 125 add space.

Each of these options allow your button to be up for a month. You also have the opportunity to do a guest post or giveaway if you are interested!

My blog is growing, and I am so excited about all that is in store for 2013! I hope you stay with me in this journey and we can get to know one another better! 🙂
