about having a Giveaway.

But Mother Nature

and our transformer

on the corner had somewhat

different plans.

As my hubby and I sat watching

T.V.

Poof

Darkness

Not for too long

Just a few minutes

but long enough for me to turn

off my computer and put

everything away for the night.

Waiting till morning to

finish up.

So

already?!

This week has gone by so ultra fast

I had plans with Jill

but have yet to make it over

to her house to do them

(sorry Jillian)

I have been a little

frustrated with blogger

comments the last week also.

My own issues with responding back

to all of you who leave me comments

and in return...I have not been

able to leave comments on others blogs

I thought that was fixed yesterday with

un-checking the Leave me signed in thingy

but again this morning I am

having trouble.

So with all that in mind...Tiffany. 
It would not let
me leave a comment
on your blog this morning.
 I am so

Happy you Love the ephemera envelope

your pictures of it are Divine!

Thank you for showing it off !!!

Tiffany of The Cranky Queen

see the pictures she has posted and all

the other Simply Divine projects she

Knife vs Finger Update And Ephemera Pack Winners Ship Today

Well here it is Thursday

this week has gone by way too fast for me.

My husband teased me last weekend and said he was going to

buy me a Day Timer...lol

I really am beginning

to thing he is right and I need one

The day just goes by too fast and it seems like my mental

list just keeps going on and on.

So this week

My finger is healing nicely...but

it really hurts every time I accidentally bump it.

Interesting thing

you can do everything minus your index finger.

 have managed to type,

do dishes,

shower,

tie ribbons

fold envelopes

I think you get the point

it really only held me back the first couple of days

Yesterday was spent putting together

and packing up the

ephemera packs for the winners

of the Junkin Gypsies

giveaway.

I had a lot of fun putting these together

for our winners.

They will be going out in today's mail.

My work table looks pretty scuffed

an antique dresser that

serves as one of my work spaces.

Anyway...off to the printer to get that

one last address on

Thanks for the email this morning Dawn

Then to the post office

and over to Jills for more Junkin Gypsies

fun

We will have some new product for the Etsy store this

afternoon so please come over and

shop.

Mothers day is just right around the corner....

With that in mind

I should probably go get a day timer.

Have a great day gals~

Can I Try To Fit More Hours In The Day

I don't know about you...

but it seems like lately there just

does not seem to be

enough time in the day for all the things I want and

need to do.

Jill and I have been so busy these last few

weeks getting Junkin Gypsies up

and going.

That Leaping Frog Designs has gone a little

quiet.

My Etsy store finally has some new vintage items

listed...and on that note,

Last week I was invited to join the

Etsy Vintage Street Team

This next week I plan on exploring the team blog and my

fellow team members stores.

Since I could not sleep

this morning

I made up a treasury of one

of my favorite things

Crazy Quilting.

Here is the link

Hopefully some of you will stop on over

and take a look

So many beautiful quilts and amazing

artists.

Have a great Friday everyone!!!

Don't Forget

Junkin Gypsies Giveaway is today also!!!!http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d8caad49b168eef50a23499/busy-hands-make-crazy-quilts?index=0

UPDATE Here It Is!! The Winners (Yep I Said Winners) Of My Tag Giveaway

Yeah Wendy of Bliss Angels and Anneke are my winners.  I need your address's so I can mail these to you!

Well ladies here you are....We have two lucky winners tonight.  My son Jordan pulled two cards out of the Toto basket.  He pulled the first one...and said with a wicked little grin.  "Ah Mom...Do Two" And in his hand went.  So here you are gals.  The first one is Anneke and the second is Wendy at Bliss Angels.  Do me a big favor and email me with your addresses and they will go out in tomorrow's mail.  Thank you all for joining me in my first giveaway.  It was and has been fun. My box is done and the next giveaway is in the works soon.  Now  I have some new followers to get to know and that is very exciting.  Have a great Valentines!!! And sending you all LOVE!

Valentine Tags Giveaway I Want To Share My Extra's

For once...I seem to be a few days ahead of a holiday.  Monday I saw these pretty images at ArtCult and just had to add them to my collection.  It seemed almost magic the way these flew together.  The pink taffeta ribbon that backs the tags was a find from my grandmothers sewing basket.  A small stash of ribbons rolled and folded I knew I wanted to make something pretty to share with my sister and friends.  These pretty tags are going to go along with decorated matchboxes filled with chocolates.  I have ended up with three extra tags and it occurred to me
that this would be a fantastic opportunity to practice run a giveaway....So here it goes.

                                 My giveaway to you this Valentines is a set of three tags.
You have to be a follower...If you are not a follower now and want to qualify for this giveaway...Just push that follow button.  Pretty easy. You can have a second chance at winning if you take my button.  Let me know in a comment you did so I can put your name in twice.  I will do the drawing Sunday evening.  You have to leave a comment to qualify.  The names of those who have left comments will be put into my Toto basket (you know...The kind Toto rode in) and my son Jordan will draw the name.  I will then post the winner.  I want to get these mailed out to you on Valentines so...crossing my fingers.  I know it is short notice...but sometimes life is more fun that way. 

A Sneak Peek Of My First Giveaway Box...Still In Process

It is still far from done...But had to share with you today some of what has been done.  This lovely box is going to be given to one of my followers when it is finished.....Instructions on how to enter will be given when I post pictures of the completed project.  I am so excited...A little bit more work on the box then time to fill it up.  As you can see I have already started collecting into it because it is so darn cute.  See you all soon!!

Working On My First Giveaway Box-Found Treasures Just For You

When I first came to blogging one of the things that struck me was the strong sense of community many of us create here in our cyber world.  We are separated by such long, long distances.  Yet here on our blogs we have tea together, gather for projects...chat..share wins and losses..Support each other with kind words and gentle prods.  It has been an amazing experience for me.  I am planning a project to say Thank You to my followers....If you have read any of my blogs you know I have been collecting my whole life.  My home is filled to the rafters (not in a weird way) with treasures I have "found" over the years.

  After dreaming away in my Somerset Life mags and visiting all my other blog friends who have done such beautiful giveaway's I decided it was something I wanted to do also.  This last week I found a pretty little box and have been busy decorating it...The next step will be filling it with what ever I find as I move around my studio.    Then...It will be time to post it and start the giveaway.  I can't wait...Can you?

And I need to add....Thank you to Art Blog for this great image.  Now I downloaded this before I "understood" about making sure I knew who I got them from before I saved them...(Jill explained it all to me..Thank you dearie!!) So if this did not come from Art Blog I apologize.  I have gotten much better abut making sure I give credit to my other bloggers for their fantastic images they share.
