I Hope You Like Them...

Guess what I'm popping in the mail today? If you said the 400th Follower ATCs, you're right! I finished them yesterday, so now they're ready to send off to their new owners.I used one of my current favorite fabrics, lace, silk ribbon, my signature acorn and of course, the giveaway image. These are "special edition", and I won't make anymore like these (unless I missed someone's name when they requested one).

Here is the list of (20!!) individuals who requested one. If you asked for one by the Friday deadline and you don't see your name here, I missed your email or message. Please let me know so that I can add you to the list and make a card for you.
  • Maggie B. of The French Bear
  • Carol D. of Beads and Birds
  • Raeann D. of Lady Farmer Parables
  • Sherry E. of Creatology
  • Marydon F. of Feedsack Fantasy
  • Denise G. from Vermont
  • Natalie G. (I still need your address, Nat.) of Tins and Treasures
  • Lisette H. of Liszha
  • Nancy H. of Huggins Haven
  • Zsuzsanna of Zsuzsanna Zeirlerne'-Kosma blog (Sue) in Hungary
  • Diva K. of Diva's Musings
  • Lisa L. of A Cuppa Tea With Me
  • Marsha M. of Sassy Mini Dolls
  • Connie M. of She Dreams Big
  • Debra O. of Common Ground
  • Linda P. in Iowa
  • Peggy in the Philippines
  • Lynn S. of Trash to Treasure Art
  • Nancy S. of Nancy Matters
  • Lesley W. in England
Thank you to each and every one of you who asked for a card. I'm so grateful and enjoyed making these with each of you in mind. It's always fun to know where your gift is going while you're creating it. I think I can add a little extra love into the project when I know who'll receive it. So, they're heading your way, girls. I hope you'll be happy with my efforts.

PS. Sorry for the big tag in the left corner of my blog header right now. (grrr!) I did update my blog background, per their instructions, but it's still there. I want to let you know that I finally decided to contact everyone's blog heroine, Karen Valentine, and will be working with her in the upcoming weeks to transform my blog look. (I'm more than a little excited!)

  4. Oh, I'm so excited!! Lucky me! Lucky me! Thank you Donna, you're such a genorous soul! 20 of these is quite an undertaking, but it was worth it, they're beautiful!

    Hey, thanks for popping into my blog, I really love the fabrics for my first quilt too! They're bright and soft at the same time. Sounds weird, I know. The fabric is Moda, and it's called "Swanky" by Chez Moi. Almost had a distaster, I needed more fat quaters and I went back to the quilt shop where I bought my supplies to get a few. They had a roof leak and it ruined a whole shelf of fabric... guess which ones?? Talk about panic! I didn't want to have to mix other fabric into my first quilt(not that it would be a bad thing, I just didn't want to this time). Fortunatly they had a fat quarter stack to be sold as a set and they opened it up and let me buy just the pieces I needed, whew!!

    oxo,
    Lisa

  8. Hi Donna.
    They are absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen one in person so I am just so grateful and excited to receive my first one from you. I have been thinking it would be cool to make these, but have not yet investigated how to do it.

    Thanks again.

  9. They turned out so pretty! I love that fabric! Drool!!
    Too funny. I contacted Karen too about my blog makeover. She said she is swampped. I think we all had the same idea. Great minds think alike. :)

  15. Stopping by for the first time. I recently joined the Bloggerette Sorority and wanted to meet some of the 'sisters'.

    My blog door is always open for new friends. Drop by, help yourself to some tea and cookies and meet my 6 dogs.

    God bless.

  21. Ooh Donna, those tags are so sweet.
    Lucky recipients!!

    Yep, I dislike that thingee up there on the left too. I followed their instructions to and thought it would disappear but it's still there!

    Now, I am going to look at some of your older posts that I have missed and get me some Donna creative fix.

  22. Hi Donna,

    I just had to let you know that I took my tote out for a spin today! I went to lunch with Jenny Matlock of "www.jennymatlock.blogspot.com, and Sandy of "521lakestreet-sandy.blogspot.com and showed it off! They were beside themselves with envy, and I milked it for everything I could (i.e. see this gorgeous toile, check out the little pockets, look at this image she used....isn't it devine?). Anyway, thank you again for the most beautiful tote around.

    Love ya'
    Meri

  26. I missed the dead line, but maybe I will have better luck the next time. They are really pretty and you do such good work. I know that you will love what Karen does for you. She designed mine and I love it. She is such a neat lady to work with. I have talked to her in person because I don't like trying to tell someone what I want through e-mail. I would rather talk to them in person.
    Your thumbnail looks for an interesting post for in the morning. Have a wonderful day. Your Missouri Friend.
