This humble blog of mine has reached over 800 followers and I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude! Never could I have imagined that so many of you would want to stop in, say hello and leave me such lovely and supportive comments each and every time I post! 
I cherish the friendships I've made here and  am blessed beyond measure!

Well....I don't exactly know right now so that's where all 800 of YOU come in!

Tell me what you'd like.....don't be shy! This is about YOU so I want the giveaway to express that. 


Would you like some of my "handmade creations"?
Maybe something similar to these....




...and these.....

OR...maybe a collection of "supplies" from my studio...
(I'm happy to share)...



OR....a few "tresors" that I've purchased at my favorite shops and flea markets....




I'm ALL ears so DO let me know.... 
1. Handmade Creations
2. Supplies
3. Tresors


I will "tailor" my giveaway to your most popular requests and announce it real soon so DO stay tuned!!

  3. Hmmmm, yes please? LOL! Honestly, any of those would be divine, but I think I'd prefer something from your talented hands more than anything since everything you touch may not turn to gold, but it certainly turns magical!

  15. Oh Michelle, how very exciting to be an "eligible participant" in the giveaway to celebrate your 800 followers! Sincere CONGRATULATIONS to YOU! Your blog is so inviting and welcoming...it's no wonder so many of us enter and visit awhile!!! If I were to be the lucky winner, I would choose the supplies from your studio!!! Tough decision, because it's all so enticing, but maybe it would spark a bit of creativity!!! Ok, who am I kidding, I'd probably display it as I do with all the "finished" creations that I have of yours :)
