where i am | the twinery


I whipped up this little candle concoction last night using recycled book pages, a heart punch and Maraschino baker's twine, which was inspired by a Pin to my good crafts board. Don't worry, it's a battery operated candle so it's not a fire hazard at all.

I'm featured today over at The Twinery blog where Nicole is introducing the new members of the 2012 Design Team, one each week. I'm returning from the 2011 team as a Senior Designer, and so very proud to have the opportunity to continue crafting and creating with the highest quality twine being produced in the USA.  Go take a peek and then come back here to leave a comment telling me which of the projects featured on The Twinery blog was your favorite. Be sure to choose one of the projects featured at The Twinery so that I know that you paid them a visit. You'll be entered to win samples from my stash of each and every of the 18 eco-luxe colors in The Twinery inventory. If you're a follower of my blog, that's another entry, but leave separate comments for each entry.

Giveaway will remain open until Thursday at 8pm EST and winners will be announced on this post. Be sure to leave an e-mail address in your comment or have it linked to your profile. If I can't contact you, I'll have to choose another winner.


EDITED TO ADD: This giveaway is now closed. The winner is commenter #36! Kristina @A Home Made by Kiki, please contact me so that I can ship the samples of all 18 colors of The Twinery baker's twine.

  6. I LOVED the twine balls but the truth is that every time you put a picture of your daughter (or both) on a project it wins my heart. They are so adorable and remind me of my beautiful, smart and amazing niece that lives so far away from me...
