Blogger generosity

I have been pretty lucky lately. I entered a couple of giveaways - and won (now I am wondering if I should buy a lottery ticket)!

First, I was the lucky recipient of some beautiful enameled beads by Barbara Lewis.

Aren't these luscious? If you aren't familiar with Barbara, I encourage you to take a look at her blog Painting with Fire Artwear - you know you want to!! I am still thinking about what special project I am going to use them in...

Then - it seems my stars were all aligned or I was being followed by lucky ladybugs or who knows what the reason was - I won the giveaway that Angie was having on her blog Hopemore Studio.

Isn't this a gorgeous pendant? And look at the lovely ribbons she sent along with it!

She also included these goodies - little dangle sized pieces. I think they are lovely!

Thank you so very much, Barbara and Angie!!!!

Laura is having a giveaway!!!

Laura over at Found Memories Art is having a giveaway! She has been making Almost EveryDay Collages and has reached No.100 - which she is celebrating by having a giveaway. And she is giving away lots of collage material from her studio.

Just look at all those vintage photos! Go over to Found Memories Art and show Laura some love!

Winner of the giveaway!!!

Well, I promised I would pick a winner today, so let's go to it! I have the random generator here and will now generate a number between 1 and 20, as I received 20 comments on the giveaway post. May I have a drum roll, please....

And the winner is: 12 - Pattie from The Joy of Nesting!

Congratulations Pattie! Please get in touch with me about the surprise!

I am such a technical misfit, I couldn't get a screenshot of the random generator. And the widget just doesn't keep the generated number. Sorry about that!

Thank you to all of you that left your oh so kind comments, I truly wish I could send everyone a surprise. But I promise I will do this again some time soon.

Tuscan memory

This is one of my beach pebbles from Tuscany. I polished it and drilled a hole through it and combined it with a copper spiral. I love to hold these stones, they are so smooth! And I just love the colours!! This one is about 3.5 cm in length. I strung it on a piece of leather and have been wearing it the last couple of days...

There is still time to enter my giveaway, if you haven't yet! I will be picking a winner tomorrow. Just comment on my giveaway post here !

Giveaway and thank you!!

Yes, I do collect just about everything!

As I mentioned earlier this week, I was overwhelmed by the fact that the followers of this blog hit the 50 mark while I was away on vacation. I would like to thank everyone for caring and for their support!! I never dreamed that blogging would give me such a feeling of being connected and encouraged!

So, I would like to celebrate this occasion with a giveaway! Please leave a comment (one per person, please) on this post, if you wish to enter. I have not made a decision of what the prize will be - I think this will be determined with the winner of the draw. I will select the winner on Thursday (just don't forget, I live in Europe, so Thursday will get here a few hours sooner for me than for you).

Thank you once again for your support, encouragement and caring! It means alot to me!
Good luck, everyone!
