The One with the 1200th Post Giveaway!

The 1200th post kinda snuck up on me! No time for even a teaser post! Time flies when you're having fun :) Following tradition of doing a giveaway for every 100 posts, up for grabs to one very lucky person:

1) Three yards of each of the 18 colors of baker's twine that The Twinery has in their shop. (Pretend the labels say "3 yards" instead of "15 yards")

2) 144 blue striped paper straws. These things are all the rage at parties!


3) A felt cozy that I made for a magazine step-by-step photo tutorial. Slide it onto a hot or cold drink to keep your hands from getting burned or frozen.


4) A collection of Basic Grey rub ons and assorted American Crafts Christmas-themed products. Just trying to downsize my scrapbook supplies that are taking over our apartment!



5) A tube of Warm Amber lotion by Mary Kay - it smells nice!


6) This fun and eclectic necklace.


7) My once read through paperback copy of The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks - in preparation for the movie that comes out on April 20th, I can't wait!!!!


8) The Knock Outs Value Kit by American Crafts. When I was in Utah for Thanksgiving I went to the AC Warehouse Sale and bought one of these, then I got one for free in my design team box... My impatience is your gain!


9) A set of three cards that I made.


10) A set of four girly pacifier clips - if you don't have a baby girl, these would make great baby shower gifts or you can even use them to hold your keys and such.


11) Some brand spankin' new Dear Lizzy Neapolitan embellishments and her new date/sentiment stamp that's so hot right now!


12) And last but certainly not least, a PaigeBook! This is probably my most favorite book I've ever made (I say that every time!). It started with my current obsession: vintage florals. I've had some vintage floral fabric swatches for years now and never knew what to make with them. Then I did something I've never done before - I sort of made a quilt! I used my sewing machine for fabric instead of paper, that's pretty much unheard of! Do I sense a new hobby in the making???

I used the two mini quilts to cover chipboard sheets for the cover.

The pages are made from an assortment of matching colored patterned papers.

Then when I was sewing the book together I added crystal jewels to the binding. I may do this to every book that I make from now on, I just love the added bling!
