Holiday Brooch Giveaway


Leave a comment to enter for a chance to win this corsage

The latest Amy Powers' Inspired Ideas is here.  Loaded with great holiday projects you can check out all the details on her blog.

This is the project that I did for Inspired Ideas.  I call it the Christmas Sweater reduced to a Holiday Corsage.  In the magazine I give directions for making the corsage but in order to do so I had to actually make a few :)  And I am going to part with this one!

In honor of the release of the magazine I am hosting a giveaway.  Leave me a note here on this post (one comment only), contest closes this Friday 9 a.m. EST and I will select a winner(random.org) on Friday at 12 noon EST.


EXTENDED - closes  Monday November 14 th 6 P.M.  - EST


Good Luck and I hope if you can you will check out the magazine.  There are contributions from Mary Engelbreit, Matthew Mead as well as many other gifted crafters.

UPDATE:


Kathy (comment #12 ) you won! - see post to follow.

    Hello! I came over to visit at the recommendation of Amy Powers. LOVE this corsage! Would look marvy on my short, red winter coat. This is where I have to say "pick me, pick me!"

    When I saw this corsage in the new issue, I was so excited!!! I have been making an effort to bring back the old-fashioned gaudy holiday corsage for the past few years. Yours is lovely!
