GIVEAWAY'S !!

Hello all! I am not even a "cat person", but this is just the cutest smiley picture of a cat that I've ever seen! Don't you think her name should just be "Priscilla?" I haven't been posting much lately, I have been down with a "bug!" But it's getting better now! I have been working in my shop making lamps and shades and now I have been even making some bead fringe, to use on a shade - if I ever get it done! Most lampshades take about two yards of fringe or bead fringe...so it's one bead at a time for me!
This little cute bird in a bath is made by Michelle Palmer. I bought it from her Etsy store and I think it's just the cutest little thing! It is going to be a gift for....well, I can't say since she reads my blogs! Take a look at Michelle's work, she is just the greatest artist and now is making these little felted animals too! http://www.michellepalmerart.blogspot.com/

These are two "sister" shades I made for a customer in Saudi Arabia! Just shipped them off to her last week! They turned out very sweet, don't you think?

One last thing; I HAVE been blog looking and there are a couple of great GIVEAWAY'S out there! YAY! Just go to Lavender Hill Studios and Penny is giving away a very sweet Mosaic heart peg, and the winner can pick her own colors too! http://lavenderhillstudio.blogspot.com/ Also, Laurie is giving away a very pretty hand painted spoon magnet, and also take a look at HER cute little felted animals too! (These felted animals must be the newest thing!, I will have to check it out!) You can get Laurie at http://lauriescharmingdesigns.blogspot.com/ . Another giveaway is from Valarie, she makes these wonderful windows with words (the winner can chose the words she wants!!) so go on over to http://wwwglimpseofmyworld.blogspot.com/ and sign up for all of these!
Well, that's about all the giveaway's I know of right now. Now for the best part: I AM GOING TO HAVE A GIVEAWAY TOO! On March 1st, I will have been blogging for ONE FULL YEAR! Boy did that time go fast! There are so many really nice women out there that I have had the real pleasure of getting to know. Bloggers are a special breed (very caring, sensitive, thoughtful, and creative people!) I appreciate and adore you all! I don't know yet just what I am going to giveaway - but it will start on March 1st....so please keep watching!
Have a great week,
xxxooo
