Gifts, gifts and more gifts

Everyone was so complimentary about the shard necklace for the March giveaway, that I thought I'd offer one for the April Giveaway too. It is pink rose china with two dangly beads taken from vintage necklaces.

And by the way, the winner of the March Giveaway is:

Andrea of Freckled Star

I'm giving THREE gifts instead of two for all the friend sign ups, because I really appreciate having friends out there! I'll give away one Peat Pot Pretty for the first 100 sign ups, and then draw again at 150.  Thank you to everyone who signed up, you are all still in the hat for the next draw.

The first one goes to:

Dawn of the Feathered Nest

 
 

And I'll send the bonus giveaway of a glittered egg to:

Jingle 

Vicki's shadow box kit goes to:

Freda

I hope she has as much fun making it as we did making ours on craft day!

So far we have no plans for Easter.  I'm hoping that Sugarwings will come over for an egg hunt.  She and I have been making eggs all week.

We also made up goodies for the bake sale at her school.

We put a cupcake into a teacup and the granola bars on vintage plates.  Since I go to so many garage sales in the summer, I never pass up cheap but pretty dishes.  They are good for sending leftovers home with people after big dinners, or to use for bake sale goodies too.   When I wrap up baked goods like this, I also like to include  a list of ingredients for the buyer. 

Notice the cute little "Spring" tag and the sweet, stuffed bunny behind it? Those gifts came to me from Freda, so I was really excited when I saw that I had drawn her name to send a gift to!

The pewter bunny was from my pal, Sherry. 

 

There are a couple more gifts I need to show you, its been downright Christmassy around here with all the presents!

Sugarwings got these adorable gifts from sweet swappers who participated in the Alice Tag book swap. 

 
 
She is a lucky kid, and has so much fun with the thoughtful things that have been sent to her.  I wonder what she thinks of it?  I can only imagine how impressed I would have been as a kid if my grandma's friends mailed packages to me out of the blue, and its not even Christmas!

This last gift  was from Beth. I'm afraid I didn't get a good photo, with the sunlight coming in through them, the curtains don't show up as good as they could. I'll have to try again later, because these valances are worth a second look!  She gave me a pair of French net toppers that I have tied together and hung over my studio window for now.  I might put them onto a rod later. 

I think I'm pretty lucky too. Sugarwings and I both are! Thanks!!

You make some pretty soldered jewelry. How did your granddaughter get the knick name "sugar wings"?

[Sarah]

What lovely gifts!

I hope you didn't get blown around too bad today. I think Lee' Summit was just South of all that crazy wind so we didn't get any. However I did drive up into Independence and saw a lot of damage. Yikes!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Hugs,
Sarah

I love that shard charm almost as much as the handpainted one I swapped with you years ago! I would love to win that! Have a lovely Easter!

[Ellen]

Happy Easter; It was such a fun swap! I showed my daughter,
Angela, the pic of Sugar Wings opening the Alice book she
sent her. She loved it! "Awww, she's so cute" were the words, out of her mouth!

[Ellen]

Oh, and I wanted to add, Cute presentation of goodies!
Who wouldn't love to purchase those; very thoughtful of you
to list ingredients. I just recently started having food
allergies(soy) it is in everything! I bet they oooh and
ahhh, when you n' Sugarwings, arrive at the bake sale!

Wow! Now those are some pretty fancy bake sale goodies!!!

Much better than a zip-lock bag or aluminum foil......

And the treats don't look half bad either! ;-)

[Rose]

The necklace is gorgeous. What a great idea about collecting old plates.

Have a wonderful Easter.

[Janice Watts]

Karla, I have two of your china necklaces, and get compliments every time I wear one... I love the idea of using old plates for bake sales... great way to clean out the china hutch too!

[Andrea Villarreal]

Oh my gosh!!! I won!!! I am sooo excited I have never won anything before! Hurray and thanks so much:)

WHERE ARE THE PUPPIES??? I am starting to worry. But is it really time, or does she just look ready to pop? I wish I could do something useful instead of worrying helplessly from halfway across the country. Anyway, on a non-Twinks related thought, I wanted to tell you that we got inspired some months back and put a $5 chandy from Habitat For Humanity (foofed, of course) on my daughter's apartment grade dining room fan/light fixture. It turned out remarkably well, and now I see in your pic that the manufacturers are doing it. Yours is really a masterpiece, though, I immediately went to the site but, alas...no 1/2 price deal now! Your Friend, Bobbi
