FrugalMom, You will be contacted via email by both me, and Brooke from Makin' It Domestic. You have your choice of one of the two necklaces shown below!

 And a GIANT Thank you to Brooke for providing the prize for this contest!!!

This week, I added a new section to my side bars- A feature section, showing off several different items that were posted last week on Talented Tuesday. My goal is to add and swap out the features through out the week, drawing each time from the Talented Tuesday links. If I feature you, you should get a message on the post about it!

And some features here from last week!

Junk Blossoms turned a blah old wooden table into this piece that just POPS!

 Crafty Crafts shows how to turn flowers into clippies!

Bird Crafts turned a tank top and fabric into this adorable summer dress!

 All Things Heart & Home made this great beach blanket out of terry cloth and bandanas! Seriously, how cute is that?!?

Keeping It Simple made this great car-roll-up- it stores matchbox cars, and has a figure 8 race track on it to race the cars around! Perfect for long car rides, Church, and family events to keep little hands busy! 

Lastly, the two links that received the most clicks last week are:

Remodelaholic shows you how to frame your mirror for a LOT less than stores want! 

Stories By Me shows how to make a really unique charm bracelet with your own photos!

Now, on to Talented Tuesday!!

Talented Tuesday!

Welcome to Talented Tuesday with My Frugal Family! This week, I'm hosting a week long Baby Week, so I'll be featuring crafts posted to my Baby Week post!

For Baby Week, please feel free to post any crafts made for babies- clothing, toys, blankets, nursery decorations, and more! You can post them both here on Talented Tuesday, as well as on Baby Week!

Dig deep into your older posts- I want to see all of your cool baby crafts!

On to the features...

Easy Peasy Stuffed Animals from Mommas Kinda Crafty- these are super easy, and made from scraps!

A Fun Car Seat Blanket Cover by Simply Designing. These are ingenious! I've seen them on several sites now. It's a great way to keep the sun out of the face of your little lovey, and keep wind and other nasty elements off him or her!

Easy, Functional Burp Rags by Rebecca and Maggie at Homemade Mamas. I love how easy these are to make, and how nice and thick they would be, as they make use of the old traditional "burp rag"- the cloth diaper!

Ruffled, Appliqued Onsie by Brandi at Rosie's. Super adorable, especially with summer coming up. These would make cute little summer outfits for those hot days when too many clothes makes for a fussy baby!



Interested in sponsoring next week's Talented Tuesday post with your own crafts, shop items, or a tutorial? Check out the details here!
