happy easter weekend to everyone!

my giveaway just happens to  fall on Easter weekend this month
so i am postponing it till next saturday the 14th.
plus i noticed that  i haven't even posted the giveaway photos yet so i need to do that, right?!
i have not been real good about keeping up with this blog and need to regroup a bit with my work load - you think?
andi am thinking that  i will stop doing giveaways through the summer months - starting in may.
i really need some more family and friends time!
so here are the photos:

FOUR Velcro lined sturdy duck cotton canvas cash envelopes in pretty jewel colors!
great for maintaining your budget with both paper and coins combined in one envelope!

these carrier sets will last for years to come!

today i got an email from a customer (out of the blue)
from my previous shop (crunchycute) (where it all started)
"I am still using this wallet! Love it."
so there you go...
these cash envelopes and carriers will last you for years :)
how sweet was that for her to take the time to let me know that?!

Sara Signorelli (sarasignorelli) says:

These envelopes are very well made. 2 fabrics, a decorative cotton for the outside and a sturdier one for the inside, are well surged and stitched. The set is not bulky but has some umpf. I'd wager it'll last years and years going in and out of my purse! She puts a nice ribbon with pretty beads on the end to wrap around for closure, and should you choose to get the coin purse you'll find it's ~very~ secure. No coins will fall out of this baby. Mostly though, I'm impressed with the stitching. Very well constructed. Three thumbs up. ^^

newest addition to my shop!

love this new fabric :)
