WE'RE SORRY, BUT THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER. CHECK BACK SOON FOR ANOTHER GREAT GIVEAWAY.

Last week Martha Stewart held a book signing at a Michaels store in Manhattan and ShelterPop was there. This week, we'll go even farther, by giving away two autographed copies. One winner will get two books signed by Queen Martha herself: Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home and Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts.

Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home: 52 Quick Meals to Cook for Family and Friends came out earlier this month. It includes 200 recipes spread over 52 meals, all divided by seasons in which the ingredients are readily available and designed to be on the table in about an hour. This sample menu has us drooling: asparagus-parmesan tart with shrimp in saffron broth, couscous with golden raisins and apricot-almond ice cream sandwiches.

Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts came out in March. Didn't you notice that your craft-inclined friends weren't returning your calls all spring? Blame this book. For starters, the book is four and a half pounds! It includes crafts from A to Z culled from the pages of the magazine Martha Stewart Living. One thousand photos should ensure fool-proof crafting on quilts, acorns, candles and more.

To enter to win, just leave a comment telling us your favorite craft (feel free to include a link) or telling us which you'd like to tackle next. We might just be able to whip up a tutorial for you in a future ShelterPop post!

Not sure what craft I'd like to try next...stained glass? papier mache? But my favorite craft is still crochet.

Thanks!!

With the holidays coming up, I'm looking forward to doing many holiday themed crafts. The first one that I have in mind is a lollipop topiary. I have tons of lollipops left over from Halloween, so I'd love to make a topiary out of them to go along with a gingerbread house for a sweet magical look for the holidays.

My favorite craft I've done recently was a monogrammed pumpkin that I made with upholstery tacks. Now I'm SUPER excited about Christmas and ready for crafty ideas for my centerpiece. :)

I am interested in making a paper mache lamp shade for a light in my apartment...the biggest challenge will be creating something that isn't flammable!

My favorite is painting. Right now I'd like to paint a really large picture on canvas for my living room.

I would really love to try papier mache even if I 'm not that creative.

The next project I'm going to tackle is painting glass, like painting flowers on drinking glasses and pitchers, or painting designs on plates! Have a great day!
