October Sponsor Feature- Amber of Hoot N Annie

Welcome to our first October Sponsor highlight!!  Amber is super creative and beyond talented with the crochet hook.  I am fortunate enough to own a few of her amazing creations!!  Amber's blog Hoot-N-Annie is always filled with inspiration and love.  It's one of my faves!!  Amber also has a super cool Vintage Etsy shop that you can check out right here.
Amber and a few of her favorite gals are hosting an awesome online craft class all about Fall!!  Here is a sneak peek from Amber herself.....




It's Fall Y'all is a 6 week online class taught by Becky Farley, Amber Cox, and Kjirsten Cantrell. This is a must for those who are in need of a creative fix, wanting to decorate your home for the Fall Season, or want to get a jump start on holiday gifts. The class will begin on October 17th and includes 30 projects for $30.00. That is only $1 a project! Yippee!!

Supplies needed are mainly craft items you already have on hand or that are easy to find in local craft stores. We also have several projects that involve things from nature. A sewing machine is used for some of the class projects, but these can be sewed by hand as well. A full supply list will be given on our private class blog.

This class is designed for you to craft at your own leisure. There are no deadlines. The last project will be posted on the week of November 28th. However, the private blog will remain up for year allowing you access the entire time. We have also created a flickr group, so that you can meet, share and encourage your classmates.

You can sign up for the class here and find out more on the projects here.The class just began and will remain open for others to still join in on the crafty fun for another week.

I am giving away one spot in the class to a lucky Run With Scissors reader. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me what your favorite Fall Family Tradition is. I will draw the winner this Sunday evening and will announce the winner on my blog. Good luck!
XOXO
Amber

  6. My favorite fall tradition is pumpkin picking. Me and my
    family went every year when I was growing up, and
    since I have been with my boyfriend, now husband, we have enjoyed this tradition together. Now that we've just had our first daughter, I am beyond excited to share the
    magic and excitment of finding the perfect pumpkin!

  11. My favorite fall activity:

    Every year, my family and I take our boston terrier Goldilocks to a dog Halloween party at a local park.
    All of the dogs get to go on a bone hunt, bob for hotdogs and compete in a costume contest.
    They sell refreshments, accessories and raffle off prizes with the proceeds going towards the boston terrier rescue.
    My kids have a blast and me & my husband do too...and of course our dog Goldilocks!

  28. One of our family traditions which is dear to my heart. I cook Thanksgiving dinner by myself alone starting the day before. I may recruit someone to peel the potatos but that is about it. My dad & I always did our turkey dinner together w/him doing the turkey showing me his secrets to a super moist turkey. This is my time to spend w/my dad in memory of all of our memories & happy days. he has been gone for 9 yrs now & on this day I feel he is so close to me. Oh yea and Hubby cleans up!
    I would love to win this space for this fun class, I love creating new stuff & upcycling! Xing fingers!
