My first giveaway!

An old baby shoe, slightly scuffed on the toe ~ maybe due to taking those first little steps . . . vintage buttons, old lace, an old photo of a precious baby & hang tag picturing a nest ~ and last but not least, an old clock face representing time and how fleeting it is ~ blink, and they're grown!





I so enjoy reading about all of your lives and seeing your wonderful artwork, pictures and projects. The "blogs that I love to visit" list seems to growing at an amazing rate, too!

I've won some beautiful giveaways that I am just so thankful for, so I wanted to give back a little something. I finished this baby shoe pincushion today (using vintage lace, buttons and even an old clock face) and would love to give the little thing away to you!

Please just leave me a comment on this post and Sunday evening I'll draw one lucky winner's name and send right out to you! Thanks so much for stopping by and spread the word about my giveaway, OK? I'll take comments until 11:00 pm EST and then draw a name!






Thank you so much, Suzi and Sweetpeas and Snapshots for my wonderful piece of artwork!! I just received it yesterday and I love it. The illustration of Alice sleeping is so sweet. It will have a place of honor in my little studio ~ thank you again!!
