A giveaway to celebrate my win!

August 13, 2010 4:49 am

I’m going to apologise now for the following excessive use of exclamation marks.

I won the makers-online competition with my upcycled morrisons plastic carrier bag crocheted necklace!!!!!

 

Really, honestly, still can’t believe it but its true!!

Rachelle Strauss of myzerowaste choose the winner and said:

  “Firstly, Jane used up carrier bags and these are one of my personal bug bears; so turning them into something more palatable and keeping them from becoming litter gets my vote!

 
 
 

Secondly; all the other materials that made her beautiful creation were old charity shop finds and she even used parts of an old chandelier; which is *so* innovative.
Third; her final creation is stunning. Definitely something I would wear myself and who would ever guess what it was made from? It proves that upcycled items can be stylish and chic and it isn’t all about kids junk modelling projects.”

 

 

Some of the entries were really stunning so I am unbelievably flattered to have won!

So, I thought in honour of this great occasion I would host my first giveaway!  If you would like to win this necklace all you have to do is leave a comment with an email address so I can let you know if your the winner, and pop by occasionally to read my ramblings, see what I’m working on and leave the odd comment as they are so, so important.  As much as I love my boys and OH, how can I put it, your comments are more, informative and welcome!

 

I’ll leave it open till Monday 6th September, the last day before the boys go back to school and they can pick the winner!  Well, thats all I think, I’m off to do a bit more screaming…
