Snowy Sunday Greetings & Free Christmas Images

Good morning my sweet Bloggerdoodle friends! I hope you are cozy snuggly warm on this fine Sunday! We had one of those gloomy icky rain on top of snow days yesterday but the temps plummeted again last night so a nice clean new coating of snow makes everything bright again :-))
Please take a peek at my previous post to enter my latest GIVEAWAY for a pretty Vintage Perfume Label altered bottle! The winner will be drawn from the list of COMMENTS only this time so if you are already one of my sweet followers you need to leave a comment . . . or 2, or 3 or 4 . . . on that giveaway post to be entered!!
Starting today and thru Christmas I'll be sharing with you some vintage Christmas images from my collection to use in your own projects! You can clic the pic and copy to your own files. These 2 are from the 1950's era and I've altered and re-sized for todays standard notecards (5-1/2 x 4-1/4) for you. I'll chose a nice variety and hope that you will find some just perfect for your holiday projects. Wouldn't the first one be darling with lots of glittery accents?!

This & That & GIVEAWAY #9 for you!


Greetings sweet bloggerdoodle friends! I hope you are all well and enjoying this glorious Christmas holiday season! Here in the Land of Lincoln we are in the deepfreeze and have just the right amount of snow to keep it festive and not to mention it brightens up the house too!
I have been a happy busy bee completing custom Altered Bottle orders for Victoria Rose Cottage and have not yet started my own decorating or shopping! I am working on an order for 13 bottles and am delighted since I'd rather do nothing but make bottles all day! I find it so rewarding and love seeing the finished sparkling cuties :-) If you are interested in any that show Out of Stock ~ the VRC ladies have a CUSTOM ORDER link on their website and will forward me your order! You can clic HERE to see my offerings!
Now onto my latest giveaway which is this Vintage Paris France Perfume Label Altered Bottle! If you read my last post you know how much I love this image & made for eBay a darling sachet pillow. It has sold but I made another that is just so sweet and petite and there is a link on my sidebar if you are interested in it.

This giveaway features that same label design and the bottle is embellished with pretty pink roses, rhinestones, ribbons and lace. The faceted crystal stopper is removable and you can fill with anything you like but I prefer them empty as shown!
The rules are simple, you can get up to 4 entries, and the winner will be drawn on Christmas Eve December 24th from the comments left on THIS POST only. Each comment gets a number and drawn from the "hat" of numbers.

1. If you are one of my sweet followers just leave a comment and let me know you are an "oldie but goodie" !!
2. Become a new follower and then leave a comment here to let me know.
3. If you post a link to this Giveaway on your own blog you will receive yet another entry! The link is on my top Right sidebar. Just come back and leave another comment on this post that you did it!!
4. And for a 4th entry just add my regular bloggie link on your sidebar (or comment that it is already there!) ~ you can "grab my button" at my top left sidebar. And yes ~ sigh ~ you must leave yet another comment on this post so I can add another entry for you :-)


While I have your attention :-) please take a peek at some new offerings over at eBay! I have a number of things available and here is a sampling of 4 of them.


I thank you for visiting today and wish you all the Joys of the Season!

Hugs,
Lynn

Giveaway #8 winner is . . .

Icy cold hands and loving warm hearted greetings to all my bloggie friends! It's really cold here in the midwest and it's hard to keep our drafty 100 year old house toasty warm so my fingers are not typing very quickly!

First things first I'm announcing the winner of my Christmas stocking giveaway #8! All the comment numbers were tossed into the "hat" and out came #34 . . . who is . . . Olivia from Olivias Romantic Home! Congratulations Olivia! Please send your mailing info to my email in the "Profile" page and I'll have your stocking ready to go. Thank you and all who entered the giveaway!! I totally enjoyed reading all the wonderful comments you left and they really cheered my soul! I'll have another special treat shortly!
It has been super crazy around here lately and I have lots of things to list for you on ebay and Victoria Rose Cottage and hope you'll check the links on my right sidebar to see.
Busy Bee sneak peeks . . . I have a super sweet image from The Graphics Fairy ~ it's my current favorite and you can see below that it has sparked my creativity! The antique Paris Rose perfume label was perfect for a lavender sachet pillow for starters. (clic the pic to see it on ebay!!) Karen always has lots of images to inspire us and she is so very sweet to share them!


Thank you so much for your visit today and I hope you'll stop by again real soon.
Keep warm and toasty :-)
