Hundredth Post, Blog Anniversary, and Give-Away

So, really I didn’t do this on purpose. It just happened. The universe aligned all neat-like and the hundredth post coincided with the one-year anniversary of the blog.

Promise.

I know it seems awfully suspicious, but I had to write 3 posts today.

I HAD to.

I just happened to be poking around in my stats yesterday and realized that today is my year-blogging anniversary. And then I just happened to notice that I’d written 97 posts. So there you have it, now I’m at a hundred.

To celebrate I wanted to do something fun–and have a Give-Away.

I know I am very original.

So here you have it. I bought some supplies from Little Windows when I was at the Long Beach Quilt Show in July. It was an anniversary gift for Eric who is obsessed with photography. Did I mention that we have a photo studio in our back room? I’m serious. He has purchased umbrella lights and everything.

So here’s the during.

I used a scrapbooking letter for the “K”, and part of photos Eric took. I did not use the cropping software…

Here are some more. In the center oval one I placed threads.

Here is the mixture half-gelled. It was fun to play with at this point.

This afternoon when I got home from work I popped them out of the molds. And here you have it.

The craziest part–for me–was drilling a hole through Eric’s forehead–to clarify, the photo of his forehead–so I could create a jump ring to attach it to the necklace. It was a bit crazy. I probably won’t ever wear the necklace, but it makes for a nice photo. Silver reacts with my skin leaving me with a rash and the silver turned permanently black.

Anyway, to get to the Give-Away. Leave a comment and I’ll randomly draw a winner sometime Saturday morning. I’ll make a photo charm necklace for you. Once the winner is selected we can consult and decide on a shape, image, etc.

Good luck. Here’s to another year and continued projects–the original purpose of this blog-venture.

Peace,

Katy ^_^
