I drew out a name from all the participants that took part and the winner is Jane from Marigold Jam. I then decided to have another draw just of my friends from abroad that had taken the time and trouble to send beads to the UK, and the winner is Sharon from Sallymomsprouts. In due course I will send both of you a little handcrafted something!
As a thank you to everyone that took part, I would like to send you all a handwritten letter. This may take a bit of time but it is something that I intend to do.
Now I need to put on my thinking cap and see how this necklace is going to evolve!
Thank you so much - I will look forward to receiving my little something. I fear my beads might be difficult to incorporate with those other lovely offerings and will be interested to see how you do it! Some interesting beads to work with there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of beads.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sally and Jane

ReplyDeleteSorry I didnt take part, it was on my to do list, I've just not left the house much of late.
Looks like you had a great response though, good job!!
Yahoo, and thanks to you, Simone. Will watch the post with giddy anticipation for my little something. This was a marvelous idea and now I'm eager to see what you make of the lovely offerings from so many of your blogging sisters. Enjoy the challenge knowing you'll soon be able to circle your throat with the love of all of us.

Hope you get my beads soon! Sorry it took so long for me to get them out to you! I'm sure you will find a way to weave all of the beads together into a wonderful creation that merges bits of all of our creativity with yours.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!!
And your snow photo is lovely (and not just because it's a rose bush!). :)
