Contest Winner Prizes


Completed the prizes (StudioCherie Design Tags) for my two contest winners. Winner #1 wanted matching tags for her Black and Pink luggage. She will be fashionably trendy sporting a matching pink and black tag for her pink bag and a pink on pink tag for her all black bag. She will be the envy of all travelers. Winner #2 wanted something girlie. Since I had the pink out, I went with a black and pink Polka-dot tag and a purple and pink tag to round out the set. How excited the recipients will be when they receive their new tags.

Cookie Monster Project


I continue to work on my Cookie Monster Project. I appliqued the larger C.M. for the center onto White fabric and completed more pinwheels. I believe I need 22 pinwheels for the quilt top and have about 10 made so far. My challenge now is to fine the perfect pink/white polka dot fabric to incorporate onto the quilt top. I found some Thursday but didn't like the quality so will look again this week.

Cookie Monster Project


I am really excited about my new project. I think it is going to be cute. It will be a toddler quilt for a young girl with Cookie Monster and lots of pink! Surprisingly it is difficult to find fabric with just Cookie Monster, most fabric has all of the Sesame Street Characters on it. So I am doing some applique. Right now I have four small Cookie Monster's appliqued to white and have started making some pink and white pinwheels. I plan to put a large C.M. in the center, more pinwheels and somewhere I want to add polka-dots. The pink in the pinwheels has a nice sparkle in it which may not be visable in the picture. Perfect for a little princess who loves Cookie Monster. Can't wait till I have time to do more work on this. I have allot going on right now so it will be a few days before I can get more work done on this.

Commode Contest Winner

Donna Young Won the Commode contest. Donna really knows her Commodes and should be really pround of her accomplishment. She has won a set of two Luggage Tags, color of her choice.

The commode is fully operational as of this morning, February 20th. (-: Tool Set is now in the tub instead of the commode and I am so pround that the water tank is no longer in the back yard.

Now, to be fair, mnkrisy chose 2/20 as well. I am so happy that our bathroom is back in order I am awarding mnkristy a set of tags too.

I have to leave for NC this week so I will not be able to get them done until next weekend and probably in the mail on Monday (week from the 22nd). Hope that is o.k. with my winners.

Please email Michelle your color choices and where I can mail them.

Thanks all.

Contest Update

I wanted to give my contestants an update:

On Monday: I came home to find the tool set moved from the vanity to the floor and I am pretty certain another towel had been added to the bathroom. Commode remains in the bathtub.

On Tuesday 2/16: I came home to find the bottom portion of Commode setting in its rightful place with a bottle of X-14 setting on top of it. The water tank portion was in the back yard. I am not certain why the X-14 was out and I'm less certain as to why the tank portion is in the back yard. As agreed in the contest rules, I am remaining silent and just watching the progess. I am not sure if this is actually progress but my husband was exhausted from all the work and was taking a nap when I arrived home for Lunch.

Contest continues...I will keep you posted.

For Dava's and Michelle's Facebook Friends

Facebook Friends Only Contest

About a week ago my front bathroom commode stopped up, overflowed. My husband has been diligently working on it all week. Each day this week I've come home to something being moved around in the bathroom, tools added, tools moved around, towels added etc. One day the plunger and scrub brush was on the front porch! Why? I asked. Response, "Where else would I put it?" I told him perhaps we should put the commode on the front lawn (-: I didn't realize this had given him an idea...no, the commode is not on the front lawn. I came home Friday to find the entire commode in the tub!

Now for the contest rules. Can you guess what day my dear husband will have the commode back in its proper place and operational? Choose any date you wish. The person comming closest to the actual repair date will win. You must post your date here in the comments section. There is a possibility of two winners depending on the dates picked, in that case, I will award 2 prizes. If you pick a date already taken, you will have to choose another date.

I will not influence the progress by nagging or commeting. This will be completely on his time.

The prizes: My Farmville Friends will win a gift of a spotted pony from the market for their farm or Luggage tags; non-Farmville friends will win a set of luggage tags from my etsy shop http://www.cypresshollowgifts.etsy.com/, custom made any color you want.

Good Luck.
