OWOH...whoo what a ride....

...on that carpet
...and just what I had hoped for...
have met some new 'crafty' friends along the way!
-0O0-
My OWOH giveaway winner Sherry has received her prize from me...
well it didn't have to go too far, Sherry not only lives in England, but also also lives in Essex!!
(what a coincidence, out of 242 comments left on my giveaway, random.org picks someone living in the same part of the Country as me!!)
My giveaway was for a crafty individuals stamp and an ATC made on a theme of the winners choice.
Well, Sherry chose a sewing theme, so this is the ATC
I made for her,
-0O0-
...Also while visiting lots of wonderful and inspiring blogs along the way
I saw that Bee had a post on altered matchboxes on her blog, well being as I have a slight (well major!!) addiction to altered matchboxes, I was interested to see
that she was up for a swap. So I left a message, and was glad when I heard that she was willing to swap with me....
...and this is the gorgeousness I received in the mail:
-0O0-
...one beautiful altered box, how awesome is that handmade rose!!
...a sweet little note card
..and Bee also generously gave me lots of handmade Japanese paper scraps, just so perfect for altering these little matchboxes!
-0O0-
THANK YOU again Bee!!







...and take a peek at the inside of Bee's box, look at all that fabby glitter, whoo I do love my Glitter!!
-0O0-
...and yet another coincidence, not only is Bee also from the same county, our paths have crossed in the past, as we both have made some cards for the same ribbon supplier...
Small World eh!!
I've also altered a matchbox for Bee, but I'm not going to show pics just yet, as it's only gone postal today, and I want it to be a surprise...
-0O0-
....But some more Fabby OWOH news, I won,
...not one
...not two
..but three fabby giveaways!!
WAHOOOO!!
and from three different countries!!
a beautiful heart necklace from Liv (Australia)
another stunning beaded necklace from Peggy (USA)
and a sweet crochet corsage from Emily (Ireland)
-0O0-
..what a bonus to visiting all these wonderful blogs!!
....will blog a little more about my treasures when the arrive!
-0O0-
Thanks for looking!
