I`m A WiNNeR!! #Folksy

I took part in a giveaway that Edwina of `Handmade by Edwina` ran on her blog. It was a birthday giveaway as she has a birthday in July. I think Edwina`s bags are beautiful, so beautiful that I own one myself. Well actually I own two now.... because... wait for it..... I WON 1st prize!!! I was over the moon and almost turning cartwheels.... I danced about instead, not sure I could still do cartwheels. My husband thought I had gone mad..... again.
Those who read regularly already know that my family consider me eccentric, which is probably the nicest way of putting it.
Anyway I am digressing again.
I got a message the other day to say I was the winner, the next message told me it was posted and then.... it arrived the following day. What could be better than that, absolutely brilliant. I was amazed and delighted at the speedy arrival of my parcel. Then when I opened them I was even more delighted with such a veritable feast of goodies.
The first three pics are of my winnings. Yay!! They are taken from Edwina`s blog and will go directly there if you click on them, I hope, if you would like to have a look or follow her in readiness for the next fabulous giveaway. I`m telling you it`s definitely worth it.

I very rarely enter blog giveaways, not quite sure why, but this one was a must, just couldn`t resist.

My excitement and delight was very high
I could have reached up and touched the sky.
The message came, I was a Winner
much better than being a sinner.
A beautiful bag was to be mine
so summery and pretty, very fine.
Beautiful cards so very pretty
much too good for this ditty.
An address book, what a delight
beautifully made, a gorgeous sight.
The shop is so very divine
I`d like to make everything mine.
But that would be greedy I know
and I`m still carrying a happy glow
from winning, it will last a while.
I`m going round with a big smile.
These creations would give anyone a lift
whether for yourself or as a special gift.
Now please form an orderly queue
while buying these delights, made just for YOU!!

As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Edwina`s shop bio says:
I have a passion for textiles which has developed over the past few years since I studied Art & Design at Birmingham City University. I started off by creating beautiful artworks using collage. Have a look at my website:

Now, I just enjoy making beautiful items particularly bags and purses. I love using lots of different materials, such as lace, braid, buttons, embroidery, applique to creat one-off, unique bags and purses that are heavenly. I hope you think so too!
I love to make other things too. I am a member of the Worcester Branch of the Embroiderer's Guild so embroidery is quite important to me, but I don't have the patience to spend time on pieces that require a long commitment. I like to get to the end of a project and enjoy the satisfaction of having made it!!
