Art Altered Spotlight
Art Altered is a fabulous shop that's owned by Sam, and located in Albuquerque, New Mexico!
This is what Sam has to say about Art Altered...
Yes, everything you buy from me is handmade by me! No outsourcing to a factory here... Use your logo, photos or artwork for unique and economical custom promotional materials. Perfect for save the date, business give aways, family reunions, party, wedding or shower favors and gifts. Art Altered Buttons, Badges, Magnets, Pins, Pinbacks, Hand or Pocket Mirrors, Coasters, Flat Backs, Ponytail Holders, Bottle openers. Custom, wholesale, bulk.
I've picked just a couple pictures out of the many listings that I love. Day Of The Dead masks are always a favorite with me.
Love these coasters with outdoor critters on them....simply beautiful.
And of course, I have a little "dark" side that loves "Goth Horror Macabre" stuff, as Sam refers to it. Makes me think of Halloween and that's one of my favorite holidays!
But then there's the side of me that's obsessed with anything Alice In Wonderland...how cute are these?
There are so many cool and unique items available at Art Altered. You must stop by the shop and take a peek for yourself.
You'll find them listed on Etsy and also Store Envy:
And, don't forget to follow them on Facebook too!
You'll also find Art Altered in our February Valentines Sampler boxes at Out Of The Box Sampler...and March too!
Be sure to stop by and tell them OOTBS sent you!

Nuts About Granola Giveaway
Giveaway is closed.
The winner is #44 lolamichele
Thanks to everyone for entering!
This giveaway comes to you from Nuts About Granola!
If you were a lucky Out Of The Box Sampler recipient, who received a sample of their "College Staple" granola in our November boxes, then you know that this company is awesome! But if you weren't so lucky, then read on because you have to see what you're missing!
Nuts About Granola was started by a mother daughter team, Gayle & Sarah, who shared a passion for cooking. They wanted to develop a snack that had a nutritional value to it and would help them refuel during athletic events. That's how it all began but it's so much more exciting then that.
Nuts About Granola was actually featured in the gift bags at the Emmy Awards this year. You should hop on over to their blog and read all about it. It's definitely fascinating how everything came about. Check them out in the picture below...their on the right (in the bag)!
You'll find their granola comes in many different flavors. The three original peanut butter flavors were:
College Staple
Plain Jane
and
Lover's Combo.
But now, you'll find some seasonal favorites too:
Fall ~ Carrot Cake & Johnny Appleseed
Winter ~ Date Food & Ambrosia
Spring ~ Orange Creamsicle & Off Road Edition
Summer ~ Jungle Fever & Smores
You'll find this team, hard at work and baking everything fresh from their oven in York, Pa. All of their products contain only all natural, local ingredients and have earned the “PA Preferred” seal from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
I love a heathly, great tasting snack when I'm watching tv or spending a few hours on the computer and this is perfect for that! These would make great stocking stuffer goodies too!
So let's get to the giveaway!
Nuts About Granola is giving away a $10.00 gift certificate to their online store.
Here's how to enter:
(Please leave a seperate comment for each entry)
Mandatory entry:
Visit Nuts About Granola's website and sign up for their email newsletter (bottom of the page on their website) , then come back here and tell me which flavor of granola you think you'd like to try.

1 Entry if you join Nuts About Granola's Facebook Fanpage
1 Entry if you follow Nuts About Granola on Twitter
