A Birthday Giveaway Winner!

Good morning, everyone!

I can't believe it's already the last day of AUGUST?!!!!

Where did the month go? Probably the same place all of the others went!

"Paintspots and Splinters" had a birthday this past month and, if you signed up, you probably remembered......however if you did not, I'm here to remind you! Here's what the winner will receive!

This is one of my designs. The two pumpkins are joined together with a 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of wood. The tallest pumpkin measures 11" tall and the total width is about 6". The floral foam in the center is removable so you can put any arrangement in that you want. I went to Walmart and got one of there "Better Homes and Gardens" Fall Bouquets and took it apart. The crow is on a stick and there is a small wooden 'heart-shaped' leaf on the small pumpkin. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. I sure hope you are, too!

So, with the help of Random.org and it's number integer generator, the winning number is:

#117 -- Plain Kate

CONGRATS, Kate!!!

Shoot me your addy at VicWeave@aol.com so I can get your gift off to you!

Sadly, i didn't make it to 200 but I'm sure that number isn't far behind this post as I've only 10 more to go. That will just give me a reason to have another Giveaway!

I sure do appreciate each and every one of you that takes the time to sign up and follow me! I'm home bound, for the most part, as I take care of our mentally handicapped daughter. She has good days and bad days and, unfortunately, the bad out weigh the good so I'm always tickled when I read your comments!

Now I have to remind you of the great GIVEAWAY that the PAFA Team (Primitive and Folk Artists) is doing. Look at my right sidebar and click on the pictures up top. One takes you to the Giveaway and the other shows you the Fall creations we made for our "Strolling Through the Pumpkin Patch with PAFA". Here is a picture of one of my 9 new designs!

You can click on my Etsy mini to see more if you're interested!

Also, today is the day that our "WIN THIS TREASURY" Turkey Trot from the OFG Team (Old Farmhouse Gathering) will be announcing the winner. Click on the first picture/link on my right sidebar and it'll take you there.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I've been busy prepping for a new promotion from my PAFA Team (Primitive and Folk Artists).

I've made 7 new items. This is a picture of 4 of them...unassembled, of course! You KNOW how I drag my feet on that part!

The Fall Celebration will run from August 28-September 17 with a Giveaway to boot!

I'll let you know a little more as we get closer to the time.

I'm taking the kids to meet their new teachers this morning. I've thought about bribing the staff to keep them for the day but not sure how that would go over! I love my kids but am looking forward to the few extra hours in the day with some peace and quiet AND uninterrupted painting time!!!

Don't forget to sign up for my current Giveaway HERE. It ends Aug. 31st.
I need 15 more followers to give away a second birthday gift. If you know of anyone who would like my blog, send them over please!!

WINNERS!

Good Morning, Everyone!

I"ve got a few winning names to tell you about!

One of these days, someone is going to have to tell me the secret of how to display the little Random Number Generator. I've thought about taking a picture of it from my camera and then posting. I think I've seen some who have done that.

Despite the fact that I have no PROOF of the numbers chosen, I do have some winners! I tallied everyone up and counted carefully (several times to be sure!) and then let Random pick my winners. 

#2--is NATALIE from "Tins and Treasures"

AND

#52-- is VALERIE from "Yorkie's Primitives"

CONGRATS WINNERS!!!

Make sure you go over and visit these gals and their great and insightful blogs!

Now girls, email me at VicWeave@aol.com and get me your addy by Monday so I can get these sent out to you!

We got our girl moved in yesterday and I'm feeling it a bit in my lower back today. I've got some wood to cut out so the minor pains will just have to be ignored. 

"Paintspots and Splinters" is having it's 1st birthday this next month! WOW, a whole year back in business! It's been great so far! I think my favorite part has been joining two great Etsy teams:

Old Farmhouse Gathering Team (OFG)
AND

Primitive And Folk Artists Team (PAFA)

I've met some wonderful people with some great talents and am enjoying every minute of it!!

Click on the links above and give everyone a visit! It's worth the time! PAFA actually has an interview of me! Little ol' ME!! Plus they're sure to announce the 11 winners of the Christmas celebration sometime today or tomorrow. This is the last day of the "Christmas in July" sales on Etsy so make sure you go to http://www.etsy.com and type in PAFACIJ in the search bar for ALL ITEMS. You'll see some wonderful Christmas Decor!

Thanks for your support of my blogging efforts! I really appreciate each and every one who takes the time to follow and those that stop by and leave a comment!!

Love and Blessings to each of you!!

Vicky

Random Craftiness

GOODNESS, but the time just gets away from you, doesn't it?!

I've been busy; doing a little bit of  'this' and a little bit of 'that'.

Mostly decoupage and some signs....

...See? Just some random stuff with no rhyme or reason. I had a box of extra cut outs and have been using it up before I cut out the last piece of my MDF. I need to get back to Lowes and replenish my depleted wood pile.

Do you see the 'Jack'?

I have to laugh 'cause he was a mistake. No, not a 'happy accident' like Bob Ross says, because I wasn't very happy at the time! Oh, he's cute in his OOAK way but I couldn't replicate him if I tried! He has a twin brother with no legs so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with him. I think I'll try and cut the boots out of a bigger stock of wood and get his legs a bit straighter...or do you  prefer the 'pidgeon toed' look? Do you think he'd sell?

I also found something at our local $ Tree. 

I got a STACK of these 'Wall Sayings' for just a buck a piece and I'm making some of these...

....for gifts. 

This one goes to my 22 year old for her new apartment. 

The saying suits her perfectly since she seems to be a OOAK herself!

There is one day left to enter my Giveaway found HERE  and also our PAFA Giveaway found HERE.

I'll be out most all day tomorrow getting that OOAK daughter moved in to her new apartment. I'll check back with you on Saturday morning to tell you who the winner is!!

Hope life is treating you well!

Stay Tuned!
