Well, I completed #9 of my Project 52 and it turned out to be a good Mother's Day gift. I made this charming little magnets(I love them!) by cutting up wooden paint-stir sticks.
Not wanting to waste the handle end; I saw the potential for a key chain fob. (Which I have already claimed.)
"Imagine" and "Laugh" were chosen to send to my own mom along with a matching card.
Although I spoke to her today she hadn't gone down to the post office for their mail yet, so the jury is out on whether she liked them.
(Let's hope she doesn't look at my blog and see them already!)
So, here's the deal on the GIVEAWAY.
I would like to give away the key fob, "Journey" to one person. Also, I would like to give a pair of magnets away to another. Really, I don't need this many on my fridge! BTW, I would like to know why the one that says 'giggle' smeared when I coated it with gel medium and the others didn't? It's a conundrum, nothing was done differently with it!
All you have to do is tell me what you enjoyed about Mother's Day and leave me a comment stating which you would like to have, the keychain fob OR two magnets of your choosing; please state which two. (Keep in mind that I sent my mom the above stated two.) I will choose two random winners on May 30th. Good luck!
So, I would be remiss if I didn't thank Jodi Ohl for her inspiration in CPS Jan/Feb '09 issue. One thing that I did here that was slightly different was to draw with watercolor pencil around the words. Now, you should know that I have no idea what you do with said pencils but I bought them for another project. My best guess was to pencil around the words then go over it with a wet paint brush. I love the effect! Some of you pros out there might have some tips on what to do with watercolor pencils and they would be welcome!
