3 winners & a sale code...

WOW!!!

THANKS so much for all the wonderful blog comments,



you are all amazing...
and so kind...
MWAH!

This giveaway was so much fun...
I ***think*** we'll do it again VERY soon...
stay tuned...
(like next week?)

first thing for today...

THANKS again, 
 for the sweet comments about our home...

I had several "house related" questions...
after I posted this photo...



the green paint we chose looks a lot like 
bundled sage distress ink...

it's made by Benjamin Moore & the color name is 
Wethersfield Moss  #HC110...

this is probably the first time ever,
 that I'm 100% satisfied 
with the paint colors we chose for all the rooms...

IMHO, choosing wall paint 
is the hardest decision in any home project...

why are inks easy & wall paint so difficult?

the other frequent question was about
 the large wire flower in the photo...

it's about 41 inches in diameter...
yes...giant...
but I loved it...

the tag on it says it is made by Foreside...
look for it at a home decor type store...

one more house photo...

here's what the mantle looks like now...

you can also see the wall color much better...


ENABLER ALERT!!!

I wanted to share a special code 
to receive
25% off your Blossom Bucket
 purchase...
both brand new & other pieces too...

thanks to my friend Heidi at Simon Says...

enter the code

bucket3 

at checkout & 
you will receive 25% off 
your entire Blossom Bucket order...
it's good thru Sunday @ 11:59PM EST...

so...

you could use 



wings


 & silver berry center 
to make this art chick...



this primitive house is a favorite...


I used one on the back of an art journal...
the crow is another Blossom Bucket embellie...
that tree is from my second stamp release...
all the way back in 2009 & I still LOVE it...

click on the link & you'll see an example 
using the tree upside down as a border on an envelope...
never send a naked envelope!

this ruler is stinkin adorable...
and has amazing detail...
the mini star is new...
they're black...
YIPPEE!

and...
there's the house again...


the silverware is versatile...

I used it as legs,
on the art chick shown above...

I used it with "the cure"  & bandaid for this...




and this...

the telephone is another piece that's great for cards...


HAPPY SHOPPING...

just remember to add the code

I agree - picking paint for walls has to be the hardest - never looks the same up on the wall in a big area as it does on those little swatches.

Thanks for the fun - good luck finishing up the house!
