new year and a winner.

 Happy 2010!  Today marks a new year, but it’s also giveaway day!  I’m going to announce the winner of my very first giveaway, but first, I thought I’d show you my complete New Year’s Eve ensemble, since I had some requests.

{sequin top + black cardi + black skinnies + shiny shoes + hair feather}
{Peacock hair feather}
{handsome hubby.  I finally convinced him tp wear this cardigan I got him months ago.}

We had fun at our friends’ get-together.  We played games and Andy’s sister Kristen and I rocked everyone at this game called “celebrity”.  I’m pretty much the most un-competitive person you’ll ever meet, but for some reason this game brought it out in me.  We also played a bunch of other games but this was my favorite :).  Thanks for hosting Andy and Elisha!

{happy 2010!}

OK…now on to the giveaway.  I had initially planned on using random.org to choose the winner, but some people commented more than once which threw a wrench into my plan, so I decided to go the old-fashioned route…. writing everyone’s names down on slips of paper and drawing them our of a hat…or rather a bag since I couldn’t find a proper hat for the job.

{all the entries.}
{putting them in the bag.}
{and the winner is….}

Congrats Cheri.  E-mail me your address (loveoflittlethings@gmail.com) and let me know if you want a canvas or a tote bag with your necklace and also let me know what letter you’d like on it.

Thank you all for entering the giveaway.  I wish I could give a gift to everyone, but sadly I don’t have that much time for crafting (or that much money for shipping!).   I’m hoping to do more giveaways in the near future, because I had a lot of fun with this one, and I’m on a jewelry making kick, so keep your eyes peeled.  Hope you all had a happy New Year’s.  Can’t wait to read about it on your blogs!

    I am seriously impressed at how many comments your blog is getting each day! Way to go, Lauren!

  28. The outfit was pretty adorable! We’re so glad you guys came over for New Years Eve! Now that the Christmas/Mandi&Ian Wedding Craziness/Holiday busyness is over, we need to get together for dinner/hang out time. I’m thinking maybe we should indulge our foodie sides and try a new restaurant? Any new places that you’ve been wanting to try?

  29. Celebrity game sounds so fun! How do you play? Love the peacock feathers!

  30. happy new year!
