Our Crafty Getaway was a big, happy success and a large part of that was due to the generous sponsors who sent us beautiful materials to use in our projects. Each guest had a lovely getaway giftbag waiting for her in her room.
Meleen and I have one set aside to share with you! Read on to see what's included.
A gorgeous handmade art journal from Rebecca Sower, ready to be filled and decorated with the accessories, pockets and bits she tucked inside.
A packet of journaling sweets from Pam Garrison. Paper ephemera, her PG acrylic stamps, a stitchable sampler and a spray of vintage flowers.
A pocket calendar and cute rubber stamp from Mary Engelbreit.
A selection of colorful wool felt squares from Prairie Point Junction and Wool Felt Central.
A trio of stitch kits from Dimensions including my new design licensed to them and coming out in stores this spring!
A pad of journaling tags from French General.
A selection of Cosmo embroidery floss, my favorite thread for stitching.
