Ruffle Raffle--Closed



It's been a while since I gave one of my ruffled bracelets away, thought we ought to do a giveaway today.  I don't sell these on Etsy because they take many hours to make, but every once in a while I like to rufflize [do you like making up words, too?] the world.  Of course, if money is no object to you, I'm sure we could work something out ;)
3 hues of blues
with an orange POP for the top
Leave me a fun little comment.  
That's it.  
Easy peasy lemon squeezie.
Shall I pick a winner tomorrow and drop it at the PO for delivery early next week?
I think so, too.

  7. Katy,
    I ordered some felt stones (yeah I wish I had the time to make them myself, oh well.) I'm making bracelets for moms for mother's day. Is that good enough to win the ruffly bracelet? I think it should be. I LOVE it!!

  20. That is adorable! My MIL and SIL bead regularly and would love this for mother's day. However, I might just keep it... BTW our family calls the art of making up words "pianoing." It's a word they made up along with the definition. It's so much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You are so generous! Not to mention talented...I only have one toddler currently and if I took hours to make something, you'd better believe I would keep it.

    The bracelet is beautiful, and I am currently on the lookout for neat accessories to jazz up hand-me-down maternity clothes. #2 is on the way!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love it! I love all the things you make! I could certainly use some ruffles in my life too.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The blues remind me of the sky and the ocean and the orange pop of the sun...so it would be pure summer feeling :) As I'm currently only sitting at home studying there is no vacation in the near future and this bracelet would just help me get through the next month of studying! :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow! I bet that took forever! I would love it! I have no ruffles at all in my life and could really use some!

  41. Hi Katy,
    It is Heather Bradshaw Cook. Anne Rose showed my your blog and I love it. Fun to see you and your five girls. I have three girls and a 10 month old boy. We live on Cedar Ave. You inspire me with all the beautiful things you make and do. For some reason the other day I was thinking about when you did the flowers for my wedding. We are coming up on 9 years now. I am glad to see you and Ryan are doing well.

    I would love the bracelet, it is beautiful.

  58. Oh, this bracelet is beyond beautiful!!! It took my breath away the second I saw it.

    It is my dream bracelet representing everything I love - blues that remind me of the sky and the ocean, ruffles that remind me of waves, countless beads that stand for the simple things in life that make the grand version of it impeccably mesmerizing and full of beauty. The orange POP is a reminder to live from a place of laughter, unconditional joy and gratitude.
    This bracelet truly represents my vision for a dream life! How wonderful it would be to wear it, admire it and consciously attract into my life everything it stands for!

    And the amount of work and love that went into making it makes it all the more charming and special.

    I would feel blessed and honored to have such a piece of extraordinary beauty.

    ReplyDelete

I got on your blog today to see if you would be interested in donating any items to a Benefit Boutique I am holding for my friend's little 2 year old son, diagnosed with Leukemia. She danced with me in the olden days :) and then was one of my teachers at Center Stage until last month when her son began chemotherapy treatments. Our recital is on May 14th and I have decided to hold a boutique of donated crafty items to sell. 100% of the proceeds go to little Max. Anyway, you are so incredibly talented and I was hoping you might be able to send something... :) PS - miss you!

By the way, I can NOT resist a duplicate comment, not because I want to cheat, but because we love snails, and I just noticed your snail header (I generally read through a reader)... my blog header is also a snail. :) Anyway, I guess this comment should not count as an entry... so please don't. Ya know, unless it wins, then, um... the other one is the throwaway one! (I kid, I kid.)
