Shannon's giveaway entry

Another gorgeous entry for the giveaway just received from Shannon of My Girl - thanks Shannon for taking the time to put such a beautiful contribution together for each category! (NB: I feel a bit self conscious about posting the last words but its very nice to have such a kind thing said about oneself that maybe it will encourage readers to tell someone today how much they mean to them to brighten their day just like mine was).

Shannon's entry...

In my Bag..., I'm never without my trusty vintage wallpaper wallet...(well a bag in it's own right) I love my wallet to death as you can tell by the pics. I get so many comments on my trusty companion. I say companion,cause she has been known to hold my keys,mobile phone and a 1001 cards (that I seem to accumulate on my travels) all at the same time when I seem to have my hands full on my op shopping trips.
So now I try and have two of your vintage wallets on hand,my very first one I purchased(for biz cards) and the wallpaper one for day to day importance (money!)

For the little miss...
I am forever trying to teach my girls the importance of handmade,especially in these fast paced times,from cooking handmade to gardening and yes I would love to say sewing,but we all know that can be a little difficult at times when you have orders to sew yourself, but I am trying.

and last but not least...
Why I love you....
What is there not to love, you rock girl.
You are an inspiration to me every single day.
You helped me realise my dream and supported me along the way, and for that I am forever grateful.
You are always there for me when I need help.
And most of all you are part of the handmade revolution, bringing beautiful back into these crazy mass production times.
You are unique,inspiring,wonderful,giving person Lyssy...

Christy with the Chrysanthemums

Having once worked in a florist shop I have a love-hate relationship with Chrysanthemums (this is mainly due the buckets and buckets of them you have to 'boil' leading up to Mother's Day). But I feel the flower redeems itself in this new wallpaper wallet just added to lyssymay.com.

Perhaps a favourite to enter in the giveaway? (please note it has been extended a few days to allow for email entries that I have been promised!).

Candy's giveaway entry

I have just received the most beautiful entry to my blog giveaway from the talented Candy that I think deserves its own special posting - thanks Candy!

Her entry for giveaway 2:

My entry is Rhody makes his first bag made on my sewing machine. Rhody is 4, he made the bag out of an old pillow case. I folded the fabric and he sewed the whole bag and ebellished it with metallic card and wool. Too cute!

Candy's entry for giveaway 3:

My entry is What's in your bag, is in your heart. I love you because you follow your heart and work hard to maintain your dream. I bought your oil cloth wallet last year at Lyssy May's Think Pink Party, I love it because it matches my business cards. I use it to put my business cards in and others that I collect.
