I am Winning, just not in cards//Ganando si, pero no con las tarjetas

I figured I try my hand at submitting for publication. I used to try alot w/o success a few years back and thought would be nice to do it again. I keep forgetting that all my supplies are OLD OLD OLD hahahaha. No matter I tried again. I sent in two cards for under the category that asked for use of natural elements like burlap, canvas, cork etc. I actually thought they were very good but not good enough. so now I get to publish them on my blog for you all to enjoy.

It won't stop me from entering, I think I'm just not feeling the current groove thing yet. Practice makes perfect so back to the craft table for me :)

**********************************************************

Pense que mandaria algunas tarjetas a una llamad de busqueda de tarjetas por publicacion. Hace anos lo hacia sin exito pero decidi animarme de nuevo. Lo que olvido siempre es que mis productos son Viejos, Viejos Viejos jejejejeje. No obstante al ataque . Crei dos para la catagoria que utilizaba elementos rusticos y naturales como tela de campo o vaquera, corcho, etc. Honestamente creo que son buenas pero no les capturaron a los jueces esta vez, asi que os la pongo aca para que desgusten a mis tapitas nuevas.

Esto no me parara de crearlas o entrarlas en concurso, solo que aun no he cogido el pulso corriente de esto aun. La practica hace perfeccion asi que vuelta a mesa de manualidades :)

Pay It Forward (finally hehe)//Acto de Amistad (por fin jeje)

Last year I posted a Pay It Forward comment, having seen it on other's posts. I had 5 women sayd they wanted something Handmade from me which should have been a no brainer...well it ended up being a No Can Do but any of us unfortunately. Sooo when saw it posted again on another feed I signed up and resurrected my 5 ladies. I did get fantastic handmade wool heart and earrings from my post. And here is my first PIF being sent out -- I hope to make each gift different but I think she'll like it -- what do you think of this set of gift cards? I think they are cute :)

Week #4 Giveaway saves the BEST for last//Lo Mejor para el final --Sorteo #4

Good Morning and Happy Presidents Day.

I can remember when we actually used to celebrate Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays as separate events. Kinda sad to see so many holidays lumped together and their importance shuffled off to Buffalo but guess that's the way things are moving ...

In any case I want to congratulate last week's winner. I'm waiting on her addy co can send out that box of goodies BUT I am ready to post my last gift to all.

I will be honest in stating that it was originally a gift to myself. 5 years ago Spellbinders was just getting off the ground. The forum I was one (Memory Makers Magazine) had some the very first users and raved about the product. Members were purchasing them and actually giving them names because they came out in colors. I purchased one from JoAnn, opened the box, labeled the plates and promptly became frustrated because my sandwiches wouldn't work. But before I could work out the kinks I packed it away, having never used once to cut or emboss, because had to take care of ill family members. I'd forgotten about it until recently and decided not to retack up a battle I'd lost with a machine that just didn't wish to be my friend.

So I would like to gift this to a reader. While the newer embossing/cutting machines have greatly improved they are still expensive. This one is should give a new user lots of pleasure as can be used with practically any die out there.

To get your name in the running, simply comment on this post. If you wish to like my Facebook page then you can get a second entry. It's that simple. While I've not had any restrictions on who could enter for this one I am requesting that only US residents participate because it will be a much higher postage rate to send it to you and to do so overseas might blow my pocketbook this go round.

In any case Good luck and THANK you for having made my 50th Birthday Month just a bit more special
