Hi - this is it! My 100th Post. It's been so much fun and so rewarding to discover so many wonderful people and blogs during the past 10 months. Thank you all for your kind words.This is the last post before the drawing. For rules and a picture of the goodies you might win, see one of the previous two posts. The deadline for entry will be Wednesday Feb. 25 night at 9:00 p.m., Mountain Time (8 Pacific, 10 Central, 11 Eastern). That will give me the rest of the evening to verify that I've got everyone's name down correctly and prepare the drawing slips. I'll have DH select the winning entry on Thursday or Friday evening from a glass vase.. The winner (and I'm thinking of picking a second name for a second, smaller prize) will be announced on Saturday morning, Feb. 28.
In the meantime, I have something to share. I bought these at an Arts Festival on an Indian Reservation (can you say "Casino"?) in Arizona. The woman and her sister who make these items first collect leaves. Then they send the leaves off to someone who soaks them in a "top secret solution" that leaves only the veins and membrane.
When they get the leaves back, the sisters coat the leaves in a metal and apply heat for coloring.
These are my oak leaf earrings.
My husband picked this out for the colors. I think we'll probably give it to DD; it's a barrette.After the drawing, I've got pictures to share of some CQ'ed puzzle pieces that I'm working on for Pat Winter's "Pieces of Friendship" swap. What a fun idea that is!
Until next time,
Hi Cathy, I'll get the balloons and confetti for your 100th blog. Congrats, you have a lovely site.

It is very sweet and generouse of you to give away the earings as well.

Hi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I made a mistake in my last message, stating that you were giving away those beautiful earings, I misunderstood until I reread the message. I continue to say that you are sweet and generous, just having a giveaway is so kind then adding another 2nd prize is very very thoughful of you.
Forgive my error!
Theresa
