monday... eww

I thought that by saying i would pick a winner friday night or saturday morning that i would be more likely to actually post the winner then... buuuuuuut, after I got up at 10:30 saturday morning (and all the angels in heaven sang HALLELUJAH!) I ate some breakfast and by 11 o'clock was elbow deep into a huge framing and matting project that is not for the faint of heart. It took me no less than 8 hours to complete.

However, in the middle, I took a little break to pick the winner. I printed out all the entries and put them in a bowl... mixed it up... then had my dad pick the name.

But first, Lex left a message to everyone who entered the giveaway:

Yay! Thank to all of you for your wonderful comments! I am currently uploading more stuff today. Lots of earrings, but some other things, too! I also want to let you all know, I can create anything custom - if you see something you like, but wish to have a different ear wire, or if there's a pair of earrings with beads you'd like to see in a bracelet or necklace, I'm your gal! Custom is what I do.

Now, back to the winner... the name he pulled out waaaaaas...

Andrea at Sgt and Mrs Hub!

Since I just happen to have a picture of this lovely girl, I was compelled to post her beautiful face along with her name.

This picture, taken back in January (as some of you may have seen if you read her blog) has a lot of friends that go with it! However, it was not until just last week that I finished them. They will be the next post on my photo blog... hopefully today, but if not, then most definitely tomorrow. Tuesdays are library day and I get 3 uninterrupted hours to do things that I always get interrupted doing! for example, blogging.

So, Andrea, you will be receiving an email from Lex (who also happens to do blog redesigns!)

She's just added a bunch of new pieces even since I posted this giveaway. This woman is so talented and she is all about doing custom. So if you see one thing on one piece, and another on a different piece that you like, TELL HER! She's all about that :)

Anyways, I am so happy to have done my first successful giveaway lol! I will hopefully be back blogging either later today and if not, then tomorrow :)
