Giveaway-Eavesdropper: Overheard on the Streets

Giveaway-Eavesdropper: Overheard on the Streets

Leave a comment in today’s post by January 15th, 2016 and you are in the running for this awesomely funny and artistic book.

Open to U.S. Residents only please.

This is not a craft book but if you are into HAND LETTERING I bet you will love it as much as I do for the way the quotes are written. Pop on over to my review on Amazon to see a little flip through the book.

Walk around New York, and you’ll hear the most incredible things—at least that’s what art director Mete Erdogan discovered. So Erdogan took these funny, outrageous, and embarrassing snippets—which he overheard on the street, in stores, in elevators, everywhere—and turned them into unique illustrated pieces that instantly became an Instagram sensation. Here’s a collection of 100 favorites from his 365-day project (which consisted of a drawing a day) that will leave readers laughing . . . and scratching their heads.

    I enjoy reading books that are a little off the beaten path, so to speak. My Husband also says that I have a “warped” sense of humor, so this book should be right up my alley!! To have the drawings in the book are an added plus!! Thank you for the chance at winning it, and have a great 2016!!!

    Hi, Happy New Year. This book is so funny and different I would love to have it. It would make a great coffee table book. I love going to the mall and just listen to what people are saying some of the things I hear are funny but some are sad. I also like hand lettering. Thanks for a chance.

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut

You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.

It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.

I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.

What I Love About This Project:

  • It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.

  • You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.

  • It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).

  • And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.

If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
