gifts to share
While wrapping presents for Miss Maggie, I thought it would be a good idea to give one to you too. Actually, several.
In the next few weeks I'll be giving away goodies from the studio. Some will be materials that you can craft with, others might even be finished things that I made, or maybe things I thrifted. Don't know exactly. Lots of ideas come to mind though.
This project I'm working on with the girls has all of us very excited- the wheels are turning, then racing. And the inspiration is headed right for you. So leave a comment here or on any post following this one to enter the giveaway. I'll announce the winner when I post a new one.
After loving the collections of scraps Alicia put up, I'm starting off with a bundle of my favorite felted sweater pieces. When you see what we have been up to, you might want to have these right next to you on the couch. xoC
i shall be the first to leave a comment! yay! how exciting to actually, maybe, have a bit of something from your "work space"!
i still enjoy my little books you wrote with mary englebreit...summer, fall, winter, spring! good stuff! and i love it all!

Courious-er, and courious-er...that's what your hints are making me...can't wait to see the secret revealed.
If the contents of that pretty bundle of wool is as cute as the tag attached to it well...I can imagine all sorts of creating coming on.

Hi Charlotte,
I just noticed the white and green stripes as I'm commenting (have they been there all along)? lol! been busy finishing up my panels that I'm swapping with the ladies over at Karla's Cottage and decided to cut up some of my home made paper and glue it to one of my cans and then got busy doing something else and need to finish the can.
So cool that you're destashing with us in mine.
