Some very overdue thank-yous

I am terrible about thank-yous. I just found a box of written but never sent thank-you notes from our wedding almost five years ago. And just last week I gave up clinging to the hope that I'd eventually get going with the thank-yous for the baby gifts that Little Piña was showered with. I take small comfort in sending good karma instead of thank-yous...

Anyway, in the last few months, I've won some fantastic giveaways and I would be remiss if I didn't let you know about them because I love each and every one!

During the summer, I won a $20 credit to Natalily Designs, the Etsy shop run by Andi over at Jane of All Crafts. Everything Andi makes is just adorable, but I chose the piece I have been drooling over since she first debuted it:

I love it and I get compliments every time I wear it. The bird charm adds the perfect touch to the super-popular nest pendant!

Then back in September, I won a Facebook giveaway from Kendra of On My Side of the Room and her shop Belleza Mia.... just another shop where I love EVERYthing. :)

I won the Taking Flight necklace, which goes great with everything. I wear it pretty much every day... that I'm not wearing my bird-nest pendant. It's simply gorgeous!

And then just a couple of weeks ago, I won a giveaway from Sophie's Beads, hosted over at We Talk of Christ, We Rejoice in Christ. I won this great Stick of Joseph & Stick of Judah bracelet, but Sophie can make a charm out of any book or cd cover and create a custom bracelet, earrings, or pendant:

The books are so tiny and just adorable! And if you want a chance to win one of your own, head over to Housewife Eclectic where Debra is hosting a giveaway. :)

The only unfortunate part about having won all these great giveaways is that I think I've used up my luck for the year... so no chance of winning a new Silhouette Cameo machine at one of the great giveaways going on. Rough life, eh? ;)
