Fun Gifts In The Mail

I was the winner of a recent drawing held by Lesa of Percolating Today.   I was so excited when she contacted me.  I never win anything.  And I have a great weakness for boxes and containers and cigar boxes in particular.

This purse is so cute with the modern beaded Miami design on one side and the original cigar label on the other.  The handle is a very nice shiny silver color and the corners are too. 

 

Lesa filled the inside with a big bag of CHOCOLATE!  There was actually more than this but it didn't last long enough for the camera.  

And look what I can do now!  Its perfect for taking some pencils along.  I love it!  Thank you Lesa.

And The Winner Is..........

Well, its almost midnight on Thursday and time to announce a winner for the Name Your Baby Contest.  Baby turtle can hardly wait to have a name and stop being called Baby turtle.  You all came up with very creative names.  As each one came in I would think, Oh, I bet that will be the one.  It has been a much more difficult decision that I expected.

But in the end, there can only be one winner.  So after thinking through each name thoroughly I've made a decision.  

So now, the envelope please..........

Drum roll.............................................................................................................................................

The winning name is Miss Mae after Mae West.  It is fitting that her name be that of a floozy since her daddy was Captain Jack, after all.

Miss Mae was submitted by Pey of peylu.etsy.com and folkartvision.etsy.com.  Pey is from Canada, an active member of EFA/artist helping animals, and a very creative artist. Congratulations Pey!  Convo me with your mailing address and I will get your card in the mail. :)

Here are some of my favorite examples of Pey's work.

Thank you to all who participated.  I hope it was fun for you.
