A little bit of awesome makes the day swell

One of the advantages to starting a blog and getting involved in BlogLand is that I "meet" plenty of other crafty, creative bloggers that love to share their ingenuity with the world at large. Sometimes these bloggers reach milestones (like getting 100 or 300 or 1000 followers) and decide to host a giveaway. My BlogFriend Ellen over at Creative Passage decided to do just that and gave away some amazing felt creations.  She has an etsy store, Woolen Wonders by Ellen, and sells some beautiful work.  Of course I had to enter her giveaway, and I actually won!  The two cupcake pincushions that she made arrived and have totally brightened my day.

Aren't they so cute? The picture doesn't even begin to do them justice.  And now I have to decide -- keep them both for myself, give one as a gift, or actually share the love and give both away.  I know plenty who would adore such pincushions!

Thank you, Ellen, for making the day a bit brighter!!

And the best part?  Ellen is having another giveaway, so that you, too, have a chance to win cupcake pincushions. Now who doesn't like that idea?
