ONLY TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL THE OHOW DRAWING
ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!!

How fun to really look forward to a Monday morning!!!

I may not EVEN think about heading back to the DOD
(desk of drama)

At this point I think the number is 230+ that I will

enter into the proverbial 'hat' for a chance

to win the ATC

and the yards of vintage trim.

I think I forgot to mention in the original post

that the lovely ruffled piece is French!!

OUI!!!

I thought it was only fitting that a piece of French vintage trim

the same that I used ON the ATC....

accompany Marie Antoinette on her
journey.

So, Monday morning I will put the final number

into the computer
generated Number Picker..........

and the winner will be announced

before I head to that aforementioned DOD.

I have signed into so many blogs over these days

and crossed my fingers

so many times.

What lovely give-aways are posted out there in Bloglandia.

I hope you all visited the blogs and got to know some new faces.

From the journey, I have picked up a few new blogs

to add to my side bar

for everyone to enjoy.

That is part of the regrouping going on here

at Faerieluna.

Another is a turn toward a more enchanted venue

in the 'nest'

Along with a HUGE and covered (messy) art table

in the sTuDiO wItH A bEd

I have enlisted the service of the white wicker desk

brought in a chair

and added this lovely Ebay
find


Isn't it stunning?!!!

They help light my newest little work space.

There is little left that says BEDROOM in the sTuDiO wItH A bEd

EXCEPT THE BED

It's all about art projects.

Speaking of projects...I have been involved in a few as of late

One that was totally FABULOUS was a 'Secret Valentine Box' swap

Inside an embellished box or bag

we were to enclose several items to
help the receiver create more lovely art.

Trims, papers, fabric, etc.

It was totally wonderful to put together and send off

and then wait for our own secret box to arrive.

Well, my dear bloggies, I received the most over-the-top

Valentine Box ever..............look at this beauty!!


Covered in cream velvet and embellished with jewels and trim and roses.

I am still in awe of the most amazing piece.

And look at the stunning array of supplies and goodies inside!!

Needless to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

I was totally spoiled

My 'not secret anymore' Valentine was the talented and generous

Deborah McNutt.

It seems she has been gorgeously covering boxes

for many, many years.

Clearly!!

~~~~~
For MY Valentine, I found a delightful

carry case

Already covered in the theme I was going for

ROSES


After doing some investigation, I discovered that my

secret partner had lovely roses in her garden

and since she had chosen a Pink & White theme

I knew what direction I would go



Doesn't this rose look like the real deal?!!!!


and inside all things pink and white


with the addition of roses

the gal to receive my creation


is the very talented,

Melanie Hall.

What fun we had.

So that's it for now

but......

Stay tuned for Monday morning

when the winning number will be drawn.

YOU STILL HAVE TWO DAYS TO ENTER....
