Welcome 2012 + a cozy giveaway!{closed}

Welcome 2012!!!

I hope everyone had a great New Years!  Mine was really low key and I loved it!

I have a feeling this is going to be a great year, and I am really looking forward to what it has in store for me.

Now on to the good stuff!

I thought I'd get this year started off awesome, and offer all of you a great giveaway!

Krissy from Krissy's Crafts is offering up a set of her super cute coffee cozies!

One for you...

and one for your favorite coffee buddy...

Aren't they cute?! I adore them and think they are just perfect for this time of year!  I swear, all I want to be doing lately is drinking coffee, or tea... a girls gotta sleep sometime!

Anyways, aside from her awesome cozies, I love how she got started making these for sale.  So, I asked her for a quick little back story to share with you.

My name is Krissy, I’m in my mid-twenties, and live in Lansing, MI. I grew up in a very artistic family. I was always creating or working on some type of craft project with my mother or grandmother. I decided to follow this creativeness and pursue a career in Interior Design. Even though I was very talented and successful in school, it was difficult to find a job in the economy. Therefore, I decided to open a shop on Etsy as a new creative outlet. I decided to knit and crochet because I love to watch a new product take shape that once started out as a piece of string and the possibilities are endless on what you can create.

Growing up in Michigan has inspired me to create warm and cozy things for those long, cold, winter months. I have created ear warmers, fingerless gloves, and just this year; coffee cup cozies. I like to enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate in the evenings, but the cup would always be to warm to hold on to and the cocoa would always get cold to fast.  The cup cozies were the perfect solution.

I love the idea of creating handmade items. I think it’s a much more thoughtful and significant gift. I also like to hand address every package I send out. Even though it’s more time consuming, I think there is something special about getting a hand addressed package; it lets the customer know that a real person took the time to create this item just for them.
