Well I have a potpourri of things for you tonight!!

Let’s start with the Winners – since that’s the most fun. For the winners anyway.

First up is the Mine for the Making Giveaway!

The winner of the sweet Peach Rose Necklace is . . . . .

Jeannie I’ll be sending you an email – Congrats!!

Next up is our Super Secret Facebook Fan Giveaway!

Remember the Follower Giveaway this month where Amy got to pick her favorite Anthro Necklace and I’d make it for her? Well on Facebook we had a giveaway for the same necklace! It was a mystery – because I didn’t say which necklace Amy had chosen. And a few of you trusted in Amy’s good taste and my ability to recreate. ;)
The winner of the Mystery Necklace is  . . . .

Congrats Libbi!!

If you ladies would like to email me – that would be fabulous!

And yeah – I’m going to be a stinker and STILL not show you the necklace. But if you come back on Tuesday – you can see the knockoff and the full tutorial!! :)

Now on to some selfish stuff – I want to show you what came in the mail for ME today!!
It was a little little like Christmas in July. On June 30th. Whatever.

My sweet friend Michele from The Scrap Shoppe - who I adore – sent me the prettiest button necklace ever.
She has the tutorial right here.

 

Aren’t those gray shell buttons just gorgeous?!! I love it so much. :)

The other thing I got in the mail was this sweet pillow by Judy from the Etsy Shop, 20 North Ora.
Just out of the goodness of her heart! Cause she’s awesome!

The flamingo is sewn onto the background with the prettiest stitching and I think she painted the details of the face/body on. I love how she gave it a sweet little smile. And can you see the ruffly grass at the bottom?!?
Judy is apparently a sewing wizard. She has a really cute shop that I’m going to plug because – hey – love her. ;) She’s having a Christmas in July sale and every day in July she’s listing a new Christmas item!! So go look around her shop!! Thanks Judy!!

All I can say is that I have the best readers in the world. And right now Judyand Michele are my favorites. Just kidding. Mostly. :)

And lastly – speaking of shops – I have two more new necklaces to put in my Etsy shop.
I am listing them tonight or tomorrow – but I wanted to give you a sneak peek!

Cute huh?? Want to help me come up with fun names?? I always have a terrible time with that.

Also – I redesigned the Tutorials page – so now instead of one long page it takes you a week to scroll through (not really but I’m in an exagerattey sort of mood tonight) there are now Tutorial pages for each category. Snazzy huh? So you can access the individual pages through the link at the top (if you mouse over “Tutorials” you’ll see a drop down menu) or you can click on Tutorials for a list of the pages and little sneak peek images of the tutorials on that page.
I hate change – so I put this off for a while – but hopefully this will make it easier for you to find things!!!

Thanks for reading the randomness tonight – I’ll be back tomorrow with the Crush of the Week Features!!
