Thank you to everyone that posted a comment. Sorry for the delay in drawing names.
The winner of this piece is Joye Outlar. Congratulations Joye! I hope you enjoy it.
I selected two more names for a wee little something: Dorthe and Sonya. I will be sending something your way also! :)
Been a bit behind round these parts. We found out a few weeks ago that my husband has a lateral tear of the meniscus in his right knee and have been waiting to see the orthopedic surgeon (U of M has a waiting list that long)…then this week, my brother was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and a few other “medical” things that we are sitting on pins and needles about. This week we start seeing the doctor in regards to both hubby and brother and hopefully this dark cloud is going far away soon!
I realized that my blog here was nearing 700 posts and thought we could celebrate and do something fun.
I will have a give away for this Boîte et Petit Livret Vintage (Box and small vintage book) that I created last year when I taught at Artful Gathering. Filled with oodles of vintage goodness, Paper Whimsy images and collage work…it needs a good home.
To enter…you just need to leave a comment here…please make sure you leave a valid email so I can contact you.
I will accept entries from now through June 20th, 2012.

Congrats on your 700th post. Wow! My hubby had a torn meniscus also. He had surgery on it about 6 months ago. We did a five mile hike today. The surgery definitely paid off.
Hope all goes well for the unsettling things going on. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win these beautifully made items :).
Congratulations on that almost 700th post! Wow that is a bunch of artful bliss for us! Count me in and I will post your giveaway on my sidebar!
I am sorry that you are having health concerns for your loved ones. Hopefully both will get in to see doctors and get on the road to recovery.
Take care and sending hugs!
Your Pea Shooting Friend!
I’m sorry to read about the health problems you’re dealing with. I’m not sure what your hubby’s surgery will entail… but I’ve had both knees replaced (at different times) and was pretty well recovered in about 6 weeks. So good luck to him. There are a number of ways to control Type II diabetes, my older brother has been living with it for about 18 years now and hasn’t slowed him down. He’ll retire the end of this year or early next…at 69-70 yrs of age.
Your giveaway is to die for. Congratulations on the success of your blog. I’ve been a constant reader since I discovered you..and in awe of your creativity. Best wishes to all.
Oh Nancy, the box is so beautiful! I would be so honored to win one of your gorgeous creations (like this dreamy giveaway). Many thanks for offering up such a wonderful prize:)
Congratulations on your 700th!! What an absolutely gorgeous giveaway!! Many than ks for the opportunity to win this.
Hope all your family’s medical problems get sorted very quickly!
Here’s to the next 700 posts!!

Hi Nancy,
I LOVE your work and keep all your tutorials thru Paper Whimsy and have bought some on your etsy, but I don’t have anything you have made and I would love to win this. I am just starting in Mixed Media so I really have not gotten the nerve to sell my things much less do a blog. 700 Entries, you are giving so much of yourself just thru your blogs – maybe I will get brave one day!! But, again, I would love to be chosen to have this, it is absolutely beautiful!!
Cindy

Dear Nancy, how kind of you to think of a giveaway, in amongst all your own problems. If only I could be so lucky to win something I would treasure it always, so put my name in the hat, your art, as always is unique and beautiful. My sister and her husband both have type 2 diabetes and they’re doing well managing their weight with diet and exercise, which helps to reduce the amount of insulin they need to take. Best wishes for your brother and your husband too, hope all goes well for them both. Hugs from down under, Robyn xx
Here’s hoping things will soon be sorted on the medical front! It is so hard when those close to us are ill.
Congrats on your ‘milestone’ blog post, your blog is inspirational. The giveaway is beautiful, how could you ever bear to part with it? x

Maybe Comment no. 70 for 700 posts could be a lucky omen!
You just never know!
Dear Nancy I was so sorry to read about your husband”s knee as this happened to my Jeff and, have to say, with time, rest, care and healing from me, it did recover but he could have been one of the luckier ones.
Hope your brother is doing better now too! So my thoughts are with you regarding their health!
It would be an honour to win something like this created by you even at this difficult time – you are amazing!
Very warm wishes,
Suzy

hi nanacy, love your site, always, but i wanted to write a note regarding your family, i am a 30+ year homecare/hospice RN, please tell your husband to buy a good knee brace and wear it and listen to his pain, when pain is present rest, ice, elevate and take otc pain meds(tyenol,motrin etc), our world forgets about these wonderful old fashioned therapies(arnica is an awesome homeopathic pain med or gel) and living with hawaiians and diabetes my whole life, my best advice is when the whole family changes their diet with the patient, it really helps him and tends to be more successful, diet and exercise are key but when the family joins in it can be fun! aloha and prayers! angi in hana
Just discovered your wonderful work and would love to win your giveaway! Your creativity is very inspiring. Best wishes for your family’s health concerns.
Thanks!
Stacia Roble
