Living Creatively Comp - Op Shop Ship Shape - I won! I won!







OH! YEAH! BABY!




I am so excited I am all funny... you know how you get when you can't believe something really awesome & you can hardly think straight & you go a bit wobbly...?! Well that's me right now... I entered Living Creatively's Competitively Creative Competition for last month (with only a few days to spare mind you!); the theme was "Op Shop Ship Shape" & you had to share your reconned opshop goodies... As you can imagine I was thrilled to be able to enter, if ever there were a competition made for me! I could nae decide which of my furniture projects to submit because I love them all so I sent in my Writing Desk, Rocker & Buffet....




...and they choose the Buffet as the Winner!!




That's $100 that will be going straight back to the Oppy, thank you very much...!





Oh I am happy dancing all over the place!





Welcome any visitors from Living Creatively! Thank you so much to the folks over there who picked little old me... I am so glad that my passion for opshopping, thrifting, reusing... whatever you want to call it... shows through & even better, you liked it! I can only hope I might have been able to inspire one or two other crafty types to look at their oppy's unloved furniture in a new light!





Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to faint.

  3. You are the luckiest blogger in blog land! Although this wins not just luck you really deserved it. I think you should spend just a little of that $100 on a lotto ticket, you are on a winning streak.

  14. Thank you EVERYONE for your lovely words - I still can't believe I won & it makes me happy to think that I did...! Even you guys taking the time to congratulate me is so, so cool. :)

    Kylie - well, since I'm not betting on the cup, I may just get me a lotto ticket tomorrow... but I think I'm only lucky online.. hehe.

    Gina - is it silly to be excited that you were excited for me...?! ;) I know what you mean though, when, during Blogtoberfest, I saw someone I "know" win something, I was so glad...!
