I'm so totally not trying to rub it in guys, but for real guys let me have another moment---I'm just totally smiling from ear to ear and wanting to sooo bad do the happy dance but instead let me turn on my favorite song and do the Cha-cha slide--YEAH. I mean, you wouldn't believe the number of contests of giveaways that I enter. I enter soo many contests and giveaways and NEVER win--proof can be found in my blog---look under my label section titled GIVEAWAYS, CONTESTS, and I didn't even post about all of the contests in my blog all the time.
I was starting to feel pretty stupid entering and started to get crazy ideas and came to the conclusion that all of the giveaways were all set up, I'm not even going to begin to write the other crazy nonsense that were popping in my head, but they were pretty ridiculous. I hadn't posted about anything in a couple of days and there are definitely projects for me to write about, but I was just sitting here thinking about what to post when I decided to look around at the blogs of designers checking to see if anyone updated to show some pics from quilt market and sure enough my faves Lila Tueller and Vintage Chic Boutique 's Blog were the first ones to post. I stalk their blogs like crazy because I just love reading their blogs. I especially love Chelsea's patterns and Lila's fabric and patterns as well.
Well the most recent post listed the winners of the Messiest Creative Space--I almost forgot about that! I didn't think I had a chance. I had just cleaned up my area totally before doing one project and coming across Chelsea's contest, then I had to take a picture of what I had. Well, then of course I went on a cleaning and purging binge and organized everything removing every evidence of that mess--but it was saved on my blog. Look through my archives to read about the contest---Well long story short........I WON! I didn't win the grand prize which was a bag -Chelsea's new pattern in Heather Bailey fabric, but what I did win....was......pattern packs from Pink Fig Patterns & Lila Tueller Designs! Heck yeah! I'll take that anyday! I'm excited and look forward to my prizes! Thank you Chelsea & thank you Lila! for keeping it REAL!
