Celebrating 1 year!
YES, it HAS been 1 whole year!
YIPPY!
I'm celebrating my 1 year anniversary for my shop opening, and also my first blog entry!
I can't even believe it's been a whole year! I've had so many great things happen since opening Sugar*Sugar and writing my blog... to many to list...but all wonderful~thanks to all of you! :0)
Since I've been cleaning up my goodies in my studio, I decided to share a little with y'all and give away some bits and pieces. I've had these little 6 cup egg crates, waiting to be used, so I filled them with itty bitty bits of crafty supplies... lots of possibilities!
I have 4 color themes... 2 pinks, green and blue, so more of a chance for you to win!
Just leave me a comment to enter to win! I'll draw the winners next Tuesday, the 25th!
:0)
In other news, I just received my advance copy of Somerset Life!
Okay, first, I have to say, this is still a bit unreal for me... I really feel so humbled and honored to even have the chance to contribute along side so many of the "greats" in the art/blog world! Seriously, I started crying when I opened the magazine and saw my little space on the back page!
Crazy!
There I am! It's like a dream, really.
Then I QUICKLY thumbed thru... first to find an article about one of my favorite gals in the blog section... I was totally surprised and completely delighted to see who was featured... I'm gonna leave it a surprise for you too... but I know you will *LOVE* to see who it is!
In fact, sooo many gals are in this issue, I was SO SO SOOO happy to see so many great photos of everyone's work that I truly admire.
Then I found a few pics of my things, that just happen to be sitting on my dining room table! WHAAA!!!
So fun to see your stuff in print! It's surreal!
and my little hankie boxes that are in my china cabinet are now gracing the pages of this beautiful magazine!
I want to say thanks to everyone for your sweet and kind words and comments, I really wish I could answer everyone, every time~ but I do read every comment, and cherish them all!! :0)
Okay, so, leave me a comment to enter to win some goodies...
Hope you are having a nice SPRING BREAK!
