I live for summer.  Like literally.  I love the sunshine, the flowers, the warmth, the flip flops, the birds, the flowers, the fresh fruit, the county fairs, the farmer’s market, the camping and hiking, picnics, family gatherings, trips t the beach, traveling… I could go on and on and on and on.

I have something exciting up my sleeve… but I need some help.  Remember the Spring Fling Giveaways that April at Wildflowers and Whimsy hosted in April?  Well, I had a lot of fun.  I also had a couple people ask about being a part of the next big giveaway event.  But, there wasn’t really one in the works, as far as I know of.  SOOOOO…

Why not combine the two?!  That’s right, a GIVEAWAY event in celebration of SUMMER!  But, here’s where you come in.  I can’t afford to host a big giveaway event on my own.  If you are interested in hosting a giveaway for the Summer Daze Giveaways, please email me: whilehewasnapping[at]gmail[dot]com.  I will send you an email with all the details.  Want some easy advertising?

Today we are lucky to have the talented Suze from Time Well Spent here to show us how to make a ca-ute headband and hair bow holder.  I’ll keep this short and simple and turn the time over to Suze:


Hello Everyone,


My name is Suze, and I am originally from Haiti. In an interesting turn of events, I found myself living in the Mountain West of the United States. Being in a different environment took a little time for adapting, but I’m loving it here. I have two beautiful children(a 3 years old boy and an 18 months old sassy & bossy girl) who keep me busy most of the time and married to the most amazing men(November 2006). I love making bows, photography, sewing ( just started) and scrapbook
Actually, let me tell you when I started making bows. It all began when our family had a bit of a shock! Our second child was supposed to be another boy, but lo and behold, the doctor pulled out a girl! From that moment I have enjoyed the process of raising a little princess. In anticipation of when she would have a head of hair… (She is getting there)… I started to make hair bows and all things girly. 
Today I am going to show you how to make an easy  hair bows and headband holder using a canvas
                                                                         Materials need

• Canvas ( size of your choice)
• Fabric
• Hot Glue Gun 
• Ribbons

Thanks, Suze! Oh, my goodness, adorable!  I love everything about that… the polka dots, the colors, the simplicity.  Awwe.  Love.  Make sure you head over to visit Suze and check out her other great projects!

The rules are simple:

Mother’s Day is coming up.  Two weeks.  Have you thought of ideas for your Mother’s Day gift?  Well, if not, here’s an idea.  Print out this great quote (isn’t it such a true quote!?) and get your favorite photograph of you and your mom.  In a two opening collage frame, put your photo and quote in there.  Mom’s love stuff like that.  And how easy was that?!?

Download the full size, watermark-free image of the Mother’s quote HERE.

Enjoy!

Ok, remember back a couple weeks ago when we hit 1000 followers and I said we’d have a giveaway?  And then remember when I took a poll and asked if you wanted a big giveaway with one winner or several small giveaways with several winners?  You (overwhelmingly) said you wanted several winners…

1)  You must be a public follower of While He Was Napping.  This is a giveaway celebrating my followers, after all.  Google Friend Connect is the easiest way to do this.
2)  Leave a comment telling me how you follow AND what printable you want, if you win.  You must leave both pieces of information to qualify in ONE comment.  Each person gets one entry.  Comments missing information will be disqualified.  And I will verify following before awarding any prizes.

If I can not contact the winner, a new one will be chosen, so consider leaving an email address.

Good Luck!
