I won I won i shot the BB gun

Ha ha ha,, thats what the kids used to say.. But anyway I won a give-a-way,, a handbag/totebag..and I love bags/purses/totes of all kinds so i'm really excited,, cant wait to get my 'prize in the mail.. I entered the give-a-way at The Shabby Chic Cottage and won a bag from Pink Oyster Designs - she makes handbags, totes and backpacks from weathered sails. They are just tooo cute. She is very talented. Here is a picture of one of her bags,, I hope its the one I won. Thanks Gina for hosting the carnival of give-a-ways and thanks Kim for the great bag.

So much inspiration..

I love trying learning new things. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. Which is why the DIYshowoff is one of my favorite blogs. She takes the time to find and feature lots of other bloggers that are nice enough to share DIY ideas and projects as well as some of her own. If you're looking for ideas or just want a little bit of encouragement and inspiration than you really need to check out this blog.

This was one of the very first features I found after discovering her blog. This chair was done Roeshel at Evangelines Vine. ( click the picture to go directly to the link) and she goes through the process of how she turned a drab chair into a fab chair.

And it led to the creation of my magazine rack using the same technique with the letters.
