A Lip and a Promise...what is that? Have you ever heard the saying "A Lick and a Promise"? It's a like an apologetic way to say..."I've not much time right now, but I PROMISE there'll be more later!" Well, slowly but surely I've been working on my silk tatted snowflake. It's my current "Lace In Progress"; you know, my "LIP", LOL!
~*~
Here is my LIP!
it has "sprouted" another "arm"
since the last time I posted about it.
I've promised myself I will get
this snowflake done before Christmas, LOL!
~*~
Now for the "Promise" part.
Recently Sandra Evertson
had a giveaway!
On November 30th she
She said,
"Second prize of a WWC exclusive tote bag
& treasure box goes to Tatting Chic!" .
Here are some photos from her blog
(with her permission, of course)
of the 2nd of 3 prizes she had.
A "Where Women Create" tote bag...
...and a box of treasures!
I was delighted to come home
from having fun with a friend to
find a package from the mailman on my doorstep yesterday!
Inside were the items in the photos above.
She also surprised me with this card she created...
...and this delightfully whimsical
altered journal!
(edited 12/08/08 Sandra left a comment on this postsaying, "The altered Journal is a piece]
I did for Romantic Homes magazine a bit back.
Enjoy!Sandra Evertson". Isn't that totally cool?
It's not just ANY altered journal...
...it's a FAMOUS altered journal!!!)
~*~
I think I will use it either to write my poetry in
or jot down my tatting patterns inside!
~*~
What do you think I should use it for?
~*~
So, the "Promise"...
I didn't forget...
...I PROMISE to show you what is
inside this little
treasure box!
See!?!
Little treasures!
There's even a tiny compass to help me find
my way in my creating!
There's also a lucky penny and other lovely little treasures!

Thank you, Sandra!
I love the treasures that you sent!
If you have not had the pleasure
of visiting Sandra's blog yet;

She is an amazingly talented artist
with a flair for an "elegant whimsy".

OH! I love your journal. SO PRETTY! I'll try not to be jealous. ;) I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for a blog award on my blog. Would you check it out when you have a minute?? Hugs! :O)
You are so lucky! All the time!
Is that a pattern by Denise Munoz? You're almost done!
Your LIP is beautiful! I look forward to seeing the finished piece.
What wonderful treasures! You are one lucky girl! How many prizes have you won this year? Is the lottery next? ; )
BIG congrats to you for being the winner! Enjoy all of those wonderful goodies...oh so many pretty things to behold!! Thanks for sharing your lace LIP too! :)
Use the journal for your tatting patterns, for each bit of the design as you work them, showing every tries and mistries that you experienced in creating your tatting. Later when you flip through what you have written/sketched you may get ideas and variations for new designs. I have three of such journals and I am amazed with myself sometimes. Didn't occur to me that I could come up with the designs that I did.
WOW what a wonderful prize package. Very inspiring. Can't wait to see the finished snowflake.
how fun to get all of these little goodies. enjoy!
You are so very Welcome! It is a pleasure to share fun things with a Creative Woman like yourself! The altered Journal is a piece I did for Romantic Homes magazine a bit back. Enjoy!

How fun to win something from Sandra!! I'd use the altered journal for your poems or maybe a bit of both tatting and poetry... I'm loving your snowflake too.

Your snowflake is lovely and so are your prizes. Do you have your pattern posted someplace? I might like to try that!
I found you on "Time Enough" and put your blog on my favorites list as I see you have lots of blogs that tat...I am so impressed,to find so many that can tat. I would love to know how, I have books but I need one on one teaching. My grandmother wanted to teach me when
I was young but I could not sit still long enough and the barn with
the cats and horses was far more intereting to me at the time. I'm so sorry I did not learn back then.
Didn't mean to write a book here !
Well, Lucky you !! I love all the ways you were just Blessed :) The wish box is such a sweet thing. The journal is just lovely. I would make a year of Blessings to write down in there, all of the great things that will happen to you in 2009 :) The card is really sweet too :) Lovely. I left a post on someones blog the other day and the Verification word was Tatingly, lol !! I thought immediately of you :) Hope you are having a wonderful week and cant wait to see your finished snowflake :)
What a fabulous giveaway win you lucky thing!
