You've been gifted




I made this necklace a little while back and it's just been sitting on my work desk collecting dust. I've actually made a bunch of stuff and all of it has just been collecting dust, and, really, it makes me a little sad. What do I do with all these half-decent projects? Throw them out? Give them as bday gifts? Perhaps they'll just collect more dust. So when my dear friend (she actually recently started blogging, so stop by and say hi!) said she had been searching for a necklace just like it, I said, "Take it!!"

So today I wrapped the necklace up. I found a box and re-used some grocery paper bags as wrapping and then topped it all off with a grosgrain ribbon bow.

And this all made me ultra happy. So I've decided this:

I will start posting projects I've been working on / finished that I'd like to just give away. It can range anywhere from headbands, garments, accessories, whatever my hands are making at the moment. It'll be a learning experience for me and a reader may even like it enough to wear it! Win-win. Far far better than letting stuff I make collect dust.

So how will you decide who gets the posted item?
After I post an item, I may throw out a song lyric or a book quote to be identified, a question to be answered, or something like "the most creative comment gets the dress." It will vary with each post, but it's meant to encourage creative thinking and for some good laughs. I don't care if only 2 people respond, I'll just pick the response I enjoyed the most.

Wait, how am I going to get the item?
I'll completely cover shipping unless it's international shipping. I'm really too broke to cover that. If it's international, then I'll discuss a solution with you (maybe splitting cost 50/50?)

Alright, that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Design for all. xx.
