Thanks to everyone who left comments...My team of impartial judges will be picking the winner this morning, and I'll announce who won later today. Good luck everyone, and Happy Holidays!I'm a firm believer in the notion that 'tis better to give than to receive, so I've jumped on Sew Mama Sew's Give-Away Day, 2008 bandwagon. Artists all over the blogosphere will be offering up their beautiful handmade goods in a gesture of peace on earth and goodwill to all.
So, here's my contribution:
"love nest"it's a little mixed media shrine to love and home, made of natural materials and found objects.
here's a closer look:
(no parakeets were harmed in the making of this shrine)
I found the the tiny little heart rock in a delivery of 6,000 pounds of pea gravel delivered to my house last summer. It's about the size of my pinky fingernail...
So, now for the rules:
I'll announce the winner on Thursday, December 4th, and I'll ship it to you anywhere in the world next Monday, December 8th.
Good Luck!
And after you're done commenting, pop on over to Camp Cactus, where you can check out more lovely handmade items filling up the studio for our group Holiday Sale this weekend!
See ya...

Well, I'm totally too late, unless you count me in some other time zone, lol!
That's ok. I'm just saying hi and expressing my amazement that you could find and pick out a teeny tiny little heart shaped rock out of 6,000 lbs.
I think, when they were passing out Lost & Found Faeries, they gave me the ones who are good at losing things, and gave you the ones who are good at finding them.
How lucky we all are that you have such a good eye--for seeing what is in the midst of rubble and seeing where it really belongs.
Such a gift you are.
So beautiful. I just found you blog. I hope I'm not too late. Please enter me in the drawing for the giveaway...thanks.
