There’s a give away at the bottom of this post!
Let’s pretend that today is the 14th because yesterday (the 14th) was supposed to be Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day! I do a give away on the 14th of every month to thank YOU for being a part of Joy’s Life. Yesterday, for the very first time in 2 years of celebrating the day, I forgot. You know why? DH and I were redesigning our den which sounds fancier than it was.
Here’s how it really went.
Me: Move the loveseat over there.
DH: moving furniture
Me: Ok, now put the couch where the loveseat was.
DH: moving furniture
Me: Alright. Now move the recliner over there.
DH: moving furniture
Me: Ugh. I hate it. Move everything back like it was.
DH: Really?
Me: I hate it. I hate, hate it.
DH: moving furniture
So, we spent the day like that. (I heart you, DH.) Basically, we ended up with the same layout we’d had before but we exchanged a few tables and lamps from other parts of our house. We (meaning he) also moved a desk out of the den that will now go in the office and house a giant printer (prints 13″x19″) DH got me for Christmas. Ok, that furniture moving story was riveting wasn’t it? LOL! Sure, Joy. It’s the next Alex Crossstory plot FOR SURE!
TIME FOR A GIVE AWAY
If you haven’t tried a Xyron machine, you should! I love these things. They’re great for quickly making an item sticky. All you do is insert your item into the machine, roll it through and you’ve got a sticky situation. Actually, it isn’t messy at all which is one of the things I really love about the Xyron sticker makers. This Xyron Create-a-Sticker 2.5-inch comes with one 20 ft. acid free permanent adhesive cartridge.
Want to see how a Xyron sticker maker works? I use one in this video.
To be entered for a chance to win just leave a comment on this post. I’ll choose a winner on Friday, January 20 and will list the winner on this post.
AND THE WINNER IS:

Love how detailed and informative your videos are, Joy. They really give me the courage to go for it! Looking forward to lots of new craft experiences this year. Thanks Joy!
Hey, if you like Joy’s Life will you tell a friend? I’ll make the coffee. 😉 You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.
Ohhhhhhhhh Joy! That would be fantastic for the intricate little decorative “StoryBook” embellishments for my wedding album.
Thanks for the giveaway Joy!! 😉 I have really been enjoying your posts about your favorite things…they’ve been very, very helpful! Do you have a SOTM club?
What a cool giveaway! Thanks for being so generous 🙂
can DH come over and move my chair back to where the tree was???
Love all your posts. Thanks for the giveaway too! 🙂
I would LOVE to get this Xyron…I have the little tiny one (pink and shaped like the breast cancer ribbon) but a bigger one would make my life so much easier! Crossing fingers that I win! 🙂
We did that last week to make more kid room for on the go babies. The sticker machine is an awesome tool! Thanks for the chance to win one!
My husband and I just moved all our furniture in our craft room yesterday AND constructed a big cutting center- I feel your pain 🙂 I love giveaways and loved your cute superman cupcake holder video!
The mahine would be so much fun to use
I love your blog! Love all the new ideas you have and thank you so much for sharing!
Would Love the giveaway. Enjoy and learning alot from you 🙂
I am almost afraid to say this but, “I LOVE ALEX CROSS more than the Xyron!!!!” ………….gasp, although my little “X” goes everywhere with me.

The superman cupcake holder turned out perfect! I love watching your video’s. I’m like alot I think~visual learner. Please enter me in the giveaway also. That 2 and half size would be perfect!! Thanks for the chance. Cindy at [email protected]
Thanks for the chance to win! I’ve heard great things about this product! 🙂
I think using the Xyron is a great idea for affixing those awkward pieces of the puzzle. Trying to use glue pens or glue sticks are so messy.
Winning one of these would absolutely almost make my scrapbooking corner of my craft room complete. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
Even if I don’t win, I can use a coupon next time I’m at a craft shop and buy one, if they aren’t too expensive, that is.
I love your ideas, you make some really cute things thank you for a chance to win!!! 🙂
I have a hard time rearranging, too. I usually end up putting things back where they were. Thanks so much for the giveaway and the chance to win.
I sure do love anything by Xyron. I have the tiny one, this would be great to add to my tool box!
Tried to do some rearranging before and of course it didn’t work out either. Thanks for the giveaway.
Xyron looks like a great machine to have. Have been looking at it for some time now… Would love to add it to my crafting collection…
Moving furniture not the best thing to do but makes a quick way to change a look.
I love my Zyron! If I win, I’ll give it to my crafty nieces–they just got Cricuts for Christmas. Thanks Joy!
Oh Joy. I would love love love this size Xyron! I forgot about your video…thank you for re-posting! As for rearranging furniture…I do that to my DH all the time! lol

Love your videos! They are entertaining and informative. My husband was in the room while you were on and he said that we must be related because you sound just like me. We live in a house that does not have a lot of walls so it is hard to arrange things. Oh well! Thanks for the chance to win a great prize. Regina

Regina,
That’s cool that we sound alike! 😉 I know what you mean about not having a lot of walls. We have a lot of open rooms on the main floor. Actually, the only doors are for closets, exterior, bathroom, laundry & pantry. The next job for Super Husband is to add double doors to our office. I’m never going to have a clean office area, so we might as well hide it. LOL!

Great cupcake holder, my grandson would love it. It did not look like the frog wanted to sit there though, lol. Thanks for having a generous giveaway, Please include me in:)

I loved the video. Very cool that you would make something just to help a friend!!! Have a great day!
LOL! You are too funny! I must admit tho…. this furniture moving story sounds a bit familiar! We try to change up our living room sometimes, but I always go back to the origial layout. 🙂
Thanks for another fun Super Friends giveaway… I would love to win the Xyron!!

Im still learning, but you sure make it simple. Please don’t stop posting videos!
This is sooooo awesome!!!… worked with a commercial machine like this when I did Graphic Arts and I thought then, “man this would be awesome to have at home!”… thanks so much for the oppertunity to win…. I found you on FB so i will be sharing to let others know about your blog. Oh, the story with the furniture… sounds like my house…lol!!!
OH I think we’ve all been there! You know what kind of husband you have when he stands there and moves the couch all around the room and stays there to move the next piece after you have him move it back to the original spot. Good man!
I have yet to get one! This would be awesome!!
Thanks!
