hippity hoppity giveaway

tree 3
Hello girlfriends! Ive been working on some easter treats for a special swap I'm doing with a few girls. and I decided to make and extra something special for an easter giveaway!
tree 2
cant say what it will be, though I do know.. but you will have to be surprised. I promise it will be cute as a button though..
well, really, it will be cuter then a button.!
easter tree
DO you like my little easter tree? this one sits in my kitchen window, then I have another one on top of the entertainment center and another one that I took to work today to decorate my office with ! Then I saw another one that Im wishing for.. it's really big... and very expensive.. at 125.00, I guess thats a lot for an easter tree but boy would I love to have it!! However, if I were to BLOW the money on it, which I'm so not going to do, then I would be overwhelmed by its size and would be hemming and hawing about where to put it and what to put on it, and then Id be in pursuit of buying, making or swapping for more ornaments, and all of the above could be stressful! so I must must must stop thinking about that beautiful light springy green, big ole easter tree. yes.. i must.
easter glitter!
Soooo... anyways.. short and sweet here tonight...
back to the giveaway.. leave your comments on this post.. or any others that I might post this week and I will pick a winner on sunday.
I feel like I'm behind again in visiting.. but truthfully, I'm not.. Ive been keeping up on google reader the last few days, but have not left any comments.. or not many anyways.
I seem to be bouncing from the computer to the craft table to bed to work! Is it friday yet???
lol
anyways.. leave your comments and check back sunday for the winner!
huggles and hope the rest of all your weeks go well!
night night..sleep tight!

Viv,
I love the tree!!!! I saw one that was pink at Home Goods and my friend I was with wouldn't let me buy it, she thought it was horrible....we are exact opposites, I guess that is why we make good friends....1970 was when we met! LOL Those little ornaments with the chicks in the eggs are my favorite! :) Sandy

Hi Viv,
Your decorations are SO cute. I just love the way holidays overrun your house! Mine (is usually) the same way!

LOVE the glittery little ducks (or are they chicks?) ADORABLE! Hugs!

Jane said...

Hi, Viv! Love your Easter tree and the other decorations, especially the glittery ones - so cute! You're probably right about sticking with the small trees - just the right size. A large one might be overwhelming!

Friday's coming, so hang in there and then enjoy the weekend!

Love your Easter tree. Easter is soon going to be here and I'm not even unpacked from moving.

I love reading and looking at all your art creations. You inspire me. I really really need to get my studio unpacked and back to creating BUT that will be awhile.
I'll keep getting my creative fix from you and your blog.
Hugs

Oh, I'm drooling here over your tree! I can't imagine that anything you make wouldn't be too stinkin cute. Have a wonderful weekend, Nan

Unknown said...

Hey Viv! Your Easter goodies are just so cute!! So you! Anything you create is cuter than a button and just "Cotton Pickin Cute). Couldn't resist. I love you new blog look. The colors are so pretty. I have a terrible case of wantitis.

Hugs...Tracy :)

Hey Viv!

It IS an adorable Easter tree. I can't imagine how gorgeous the big one would be. It would be competition for your Christmas tree I'm sure!!

It's $125 now, but think it'll go on sale after Easter? May catch a big break.

Thanks for stopping by! Regarding your having wanted to do one for years....these books are total works in progress. There's no rush. It's not a project that needs to be finished for a specific deadline. That's what I love about them. You can work on one for years at your leisure. So, whenever you get a hour or two of "free" time, go ahead and start! It could be the thing you like to turn to when you need to de-stress or just don't feel like tackling a big project, but still feel like being creative.
