The Sampler

I love getting The Sampler in the mail! There is always so much fun stuff and the August edition was no exception to the rule. Soaps, buttons, charms, jewelry, calendars and more. I think my very favorite was the Heads or Tails advice-giving coins by Creep Mouse Toys. The little blonde girl graphic on the wooden disc is so dang cute. My sister is begging me for the tiny scissor earrings by Suga*N*Spice, I told her to get her own Sampler. Ok maybe I will loan them to her.

Also in The Sampler this month was a project sheet from The Naughty Secretary Club: The Working Girls Guide to Handmade Jewelry! The sheet has the complete instructions on how to make the Whistle at Work Necklace. The best part is there is a coupon on the back. If you buy a copy of the book through My Craftivity you get $5 off when you enter the code "naughty" in the store!

Do you subscribe to The Sampler? What were you faves in the August package? Do you contribute to The Sampler? Do you think it helps spread the word about your business? Once I had a picture of what I contributed shown in Home Companion Magazine!

  4. I just read this book and it's so fun, and written really well. I look forward to trying some of the projects. I love the phone cord bangles and the hoop earrings with pencil points, among other things...
