Happy Mail and a Kim K. Give-away!

Did you all have a good Thanksgiving?   It's been a wonderful week of respite and family time.  We spent several days at our A-frame cottage (more on that later this week) and when we came back home, a special box was waiting for me from Sandy (521 Lake Street). 

We were partnered in Erica's (Golden Egg Vintage) Christmas in the Kitchen exchange.

I had so much fun putting together a box of treasures for Sandy.  These are a few of the things I sent her.

Sandy completely spoiled me with so many beautiful homemade treasures.

One of my favorite goodies is this teeny tiny snow globe made from a salt shaker.

Just look at all these amazing goodies!

Sandy, I'm completely smitten with everything.

Yummy treats and paper crafting supplies too! Thank you, so much!  I love kicking off Christmas with you!

 And because I want to share my Christmas spirit with all of my friends, I'd like to share a Kim K. Christmas give-away!

With my love of miniatures, I've designed  a tiny Santa Christmas kitchen.  It's filled with lots of special details.  This is a give-away for the pure joy of giving back to my friends!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I'm happy to announce that Josie selected Lynn from (Happier Than a Pig in Mud) for my Kim K. Halloween give-away.

 Congratulations, Lynn. 

Please send me your postal address and I'll gladly send these Halloween goodies your way.

It was a busy weekend and we even managed to visit the a-frame for a quick overnight (minus the eldest daughter) to retrieve power tools and ladders.

Thank you for the "lake" sign, Viv.  The color is starting to pop around the cottage. It's going to be a gorgeous fall on the lake.

 Lots of Halloween decorations came out of storage over the weekend.

 Get ready to spend the month of October celebrating Halloween with our family!  I'm not kidding when I say that we have more Halloween decorations than Christmas.

XOXO

Swap Happy and a Kim K. Halloween Give-away!

I recently participated in a HALLOWEEN/FALL COOKIE CUTTER SWAP sponsored by Deb (Garage Sale Gal) and Sandy (521 Lake Street).

I was paired with Shirley from Zetta's Aprons. Our task was to make an ornament using a large round cookie cutter, and then include some additional goodies, as well as a favorite candy in our swap package. My partner (Shirley) is a very talented artist and a beautiful writer.  If you haven't visited her blog, it's one of those sites that you could spend hours happily exploring.   Her swap goodies were perfectly PERFECT and included all kinds of special embellishments.

Aren't the graphics that she used on her cookie cutter just delightful?

I'm especially smitten with that little witch graphic.

Shirley also sent me all kinds of wonderful diecuts that I've been making photocopies of to use on crafting projects.

 I absolutely love the "Nightmare before Christmas" themed tag too.

Thank you, Shirley!  I love it all!

In case you're wondering, this was the cookie cutter that I decorated for Shirley!

I also included a Halloween inspired framed bingo card and a bunch of other Halloween goodies.

Thanks to Deb and Sandy for hosting the Cookie Cutter Swap...and thank you again to my wonderful swap partner, Shirley!

Because I think everyone deserves a little handmade Halloween, I've decided it's time for a Kim K. Halloween-inspired give-away.

Halloween bunting!

So many Halloween goodies, just waiting to go to a good home!  In order to be entered in the giveaway, leave me a comment on this blog post.

Period. That's it.

Absolutely no strings attached!  This is a give-away for the pure joy of giving back to my blogging friends!  Entries close at 8:00pm EST Monday, October 6th.
  

Peonies and my Patriotic winner!

Our peonies are wonderful this year.

 I've filled my milk glass vases with their glorious pink blooms and I'm enjoying them on my fireplace mantle.

Josie was happy to be my assistant this evening for my patriotic give-away.

 Jill from Bucks Country Folk Art send me your postal address and I'll get your patriotic cigar shadowbox in the mail right away.   For everyone else, I love giving away my creations as much as I enjoy making, them so you can plan on additional Kim K. give-away opportunities in the future.

I'm behind on posting updates and visiting blogs.  Lots of happenings at work and at home. 

 A quiet evening with Chris under the patio umbrella is calling me tonight.
XOXO
   

A patriotic give-away!

It's time for another Kim K. give-away!

 Because I think everyone needs something miniature to love and I can't give away one of my big dollhouses, I've created a miniature scene using a cigar box and a collection of special treasures including a sweet little doll with a patriotic makeover.

In order to be entered in the give-away, leave me a comment on this blog post.

 Absolutely no strings attached.

A winner will be picked randomly by one of my two girls (whoever happens to be my willing assistant).

This is a give-away for the pure joy of giving back to my blogging friends!
XOXO
