100th Post and Giveaway

Addendum: Okay, it's now noon, my time, so I will close the drawing up. From here, I'll go over to comments to post the closing, then will go over to RANDOM.ORG to choose the three numbers. Good luck!

Well, your patience paid off. It was an extra long wait because I had to ask your opinion about the giveaway items, take a vote, and then make the items. I hope it will be worth the wait. : )
Don't be shy. Even if you've never posted a comment over here before, (and live in America) you're welcome to sign up for the giveaway. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and I will pick the three winners next Friday at noon, my time.





As promised, I opened my Etsy shop today. Here's a collage of the items in there, as of today. I intend on adding to it each time I finish another item.


Good luck on the Giveaway. I've had so much fun getting ready for it. : )
p.s. If you missed out purchasing one of the items above, and I still have the supplies, I will happily make another just for you. Either leave a comment here or on my Etsy Site. Then I will just list it as a custom order over at Etsy. : )

  25. Congratulations on your 100th post. Your blog is wonderful! I love your Wednesday with mom posts too. Very special indeed!

    Please, please toss my name in the hat, I would adore that Eiffel Tower Necklace. I've even looked around for that special memory maker frame you use. . . with no luck. My scrapbook stores do not carry it, Michael's doesn' carry it. I'm hoping when our new Hobby Lobby opens on June 8th that they will carry it and if I don't win. . .at least I can "attempt" to make something similar for myself and my daughters :)

    Blessings,

    Sher
