Prepping for the drawing!

I'm getting ready the old fashioned way for this drawing!!!!! Anyone else want to enter?
Here are the prizes for the Drab to Fab giveaway....

DRAB to FAB day 5! Countdown to Christmas!

A clipboard "Christmas Countdown"

There are two clothespins covered with ribbon holding the numbers

Today's feature is a clipboard that has been turned into a countown board for Christmas.

The clipboard is covered in scrapbook paper and modge podge.

Each number is modge podged, also.

I hot glued ribbon onto two clothes pins and then attached them to the clipboard with hot glue, also.

I rushed completing this one for today's blog post... next time... I will slow it down a bit... and possibly do two at one time.

Thank you for joining me this week for DRAB to FAB!

I hope you were able to use some of the ideas!

The winner of the giveaway will be announced tomorrow (Sunday). It isn't too late to leave comments or join as a follower!

Also, please remember that Goosie and Boomer Bowtique hairbows are on sale at

"It's Your Style" on Main St. in Mascoutah, IL.

100 % of the profit goes to support a young man, his family and the tough road they face in their attempt for him to receive a heart transplant!

Thank you!!!!

Day 4 of DRAB TO FAB!!!

Oh... this is just too DRAB~ (and a bit cheap... I must add... but they smell so good and do the job)

Naked wipes container

FABULOUS personalized container... keep scrolling!!!!

isn't that so cute... a flower on the lid... heeheheh

Ribbon? Why Goosie and Boomer... I'm so surprised!!!!

Keep scrolling!

a shot from every angle...

What? It's a plastic grocery bag container for your car!!!!!!!!!!

What the heck?

I have to be honest... the first time I made one of these... it was a bit of a joke.

My dear friend that has 4 beautiful children that all got the flu and they were um... vomitting... (ewwww... I know)

in the car. So... I made her a "barf bag" container. But, it is kinda cute and you could just use it to gather up trash! You could whip this out during carpool and amaze the kids... well, maybe not but it would be cute in the car!

So... in order for you to get more entries... you need to join as a follower or leave comments. I'm gonna make this one easy... click on the comments below the post and give this container a name! Make me laugh!!!!!

The giveaway ends Saturday night... and then I will announce the winner on Sunday!

Day 3 of Drab to Fab!!!! Refurb a candle jar!

before... empty candle jar... was pumpkin spice... now...

lid... vinyl snowflake cut with the Cricut

candy jar!

snowman, letters, and snowflakes cut with the Cricut...

BUT... did you know that Michael's carries many precut vinyl pieces for walls, holidays, etc.?

The intention is to fill this with candy... but, due to a sporadic fever that has been hitting the Goose... we have not made it out of the house!

(so you could be tacky like me and stuff it with tissue paper for photo purposes)

I hope some of these ideas have inspired you... think twice about throwing out things that can be reused in a new way.

Drab to Fab... right?

The giveaway will close on Saturday! So... leave those comments and sign up as a follower!

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Day 2 of Drab to Fab Giveaway!

I want to thank all of you that have signed up as followers and have stopped by for a visit! Today's Drab to Fab feature is a plain 4x6 photo frame turned into a "post-it" note holder. I got my frame at WalMart for a dollar. I used paper and ribbon I already had and found this wonderful tutorial. (and the tab on the side is for a pretty pen!)

I made this one to match the clipboard featured in yesterday's post! AND... I'M INCLUDING IT IN THE GIVEAWAY!

Please, remember, sign up as a follower and recieve 10 additional entries! Leave a comment on any of the posts and receive one entry each!

As always, THANK YOU for stopping by Goosie and Boomer bowtique!

DRAB to FAB week and GIVEAWAY!

Okay... are you ready for Drab to Fab week? Where I will take ordinary items and turn them into a cool gift or special treat????


Each Goosie and Boomer Bowtique follower will receive 10 entries! If you leave a comment this week on any post, you will receive an entry! So... let's get the comments started.


Today's feature is a clipboard. I have taken an ordinary clipboard and made it FAB! It would be the perfect gift for any girl that loves pink! Any girl that wants something special... or a Mom that loves to bake! OR... maybe just maybe you like to be over the top ;).
It is embellished with rhinestones and flowers on the front and back. I'm sorry the images are not better. There are three coats of Luster Modge Podge to ensure long lasting! Also, there is a ribbon and button weight to hang a pen if you like!

This clipboard is part of this week's giveaway! That's right... I'm giving it away! And... I will even ship to my international friends!!!!!
