And The Winners Are

I hope you are having a great weekend!

I wanted to post the winners from last week's giveaways!

I've seen people post the actual image of the random.org number generator,

but all I could figure out was to copy and paste the numbers in

after it generated the winner....

I will be contacting each of the winners for their mailing addresses,

but if you see this before I contact you.... please let me know your addy!

So the drawing is NOW closed!

Congrats to the winners!

And...Kathleen... PLEASE contact me...

oh....and if anyone wants to order a deck of those cards from

me, just let me know...... I still have a few decks!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

(photos taken outside just now between rain showers)

It's Friday!

End of a 5 day giveaway!

Today is a batch of goodies ....

a vintage postcard with vintage buttons, a rubber stamp,

a Christmas tag, an embroidered button, a spruced up pad with a rosette,

some lace I dyed yesterday and

some other lace.... and a deck of cards!

The deck of cards was produced in late 2008.

It is one of three decks the Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group

has done in the last 8 years or so.

It's quite a production ... I'm in charge of it.... and I don't know

that we will repeat it.

The deck I'm giving away is based on Proverbs.

Each card has a different collage on it featuring a scripture.

You can play with these as they do show the card suits and numbers.

They were professionally printed and I will tell you before you

all write and inquire.... yes, it is extremely expensive.

You need a group to do it and it is good to have one or two people

that are willing to order a large quantity that they can sell.

Remember to be sure and leave me a way to reach you!

Kathleen, I can't reach you.... you can email me please... my address is at the top.

I would like to contact you even if you don't win!

I laid some cards out for you to see,

but the deck you receive will be new and unopened.

If you just got here...

you can still leave a comment on any day and be eligible for that day's winnings!

Monday has all the details.

I will draw the winners on Sunday

as I'll be away Saturday!

Happy Labor Day to all in the USA!

500!

This is my 500th blog post!

Amazing!!!!

No, not giving away any stitching today....

you'll have to get to the very bottom to find today's giveaway.

I wanted to show you a peek...

I'm in two sampler swaps right now.

This one is just a small group of 5 women from around the world.

Anyway..... last night I realized I needed to dye some lace I wanted to use on this.

I did stitch the girl.... to be revealed later!

You will LOVE this sampler!

It belongs to Carole in New Zealand...

it's to die for...

yesterday's post has a link to her latest class.

Oh, the advantages to being a morning coffee drinker!

Every morning of my life I have a coffee dye available like clockwork!

(yes, it's one word... I looked it up)

I happened to notice this morning....

because you know when you dye one thing,

you look around to see what else you can plunge into that vat....

one of the birds was all a twitter.

I do believe that he thinks when he was very, very young I

must've plunged him into the coffee -

therefore, explaining his

underwing issues!

I didn't! I swear!

Okay....here's today's giveaway....

just a few simple things I made...

First is a simple blank book you can paste stuff in... it's theme is circles/dots...

You also will get one of those embroidered buttons I told you about a few posts back!

And remember the bird postcard I made recently

and talked about titling it with a name from your

local phonebook?

You get him, too!

I made a wire hanger for him....

and I brushed some hot beeswax on him...

Hot beeswax ....

now there's something else

that you find yourself looking around the room

to see

what else could use a good coating!

See you tomorrrrrrrrrrow!

Back to School Giveaway!

We gotta go back....

We gotta go back to School!

Even if you don't go to school.....

And it has darling felted acorns hanging by a cord from it!
