Second GIVEAWAY! Drawing is tonight!

Here's the other citrus bag-in-box I made for the second Blog Citrus GIVEAWAY! I've entered all previous commenters and will have the drawing tonight. If you're interested in being considered for this giveaway, you can leave a comment on this post or previous post. Thanks and good-luck!

FINALLY - Here's the Blog GIVEAWAY Photo and Winner! And a second GIVEAWAY?

And I did have a winner....Ikinlala guessed the name of the citrus posted here so she wins this adorable bag-in-box citrus bag, a pack of "fruit salad" gummies and from my Etsy shop Dizzy Broad: "Key Lime Pie or Mojito?" notecard and a thank-you notecard with a stamped orange image (if you'd like to see detailed photos of the notecards, please go to my Dizzybroad Etsy shop for details)I will be mailing this to the winner tomorrow!

But wait!! Since I took sooooo long in getting this photo out, I will have a SECOND GIVEAWAY! I'll make another bag-in-box citrus bag but this prize will come with a pack of Lemon Head candies and also the 2 notecards mentioned above. I will have one of my kids draw the name tomorrow and will announce the winner by tomorrow night.

BTW, the citrus is called Calamondin or Calamansi. It is a tropical citrus and very sour. It's used for both savory and sweet cooking. I'm not sure where it originated but I know they use it a lot in Filipino cuisine.

Lastly, I cannot take credit for the bag-in-box pattern...found it from this website called Inking Addict (who, in turn got it from a talented lady named Diana Gibbs).

If you'd like to be considered for the second GIVEAWAY, leave ANY comment on this post and I'll add your name to the drawing! Have a happy Monday!

Florida update: guess what and win BLOG CANDY; CLOWNS! and soon-to-be new Dizzy Broad addition: plastic shopping bag PURSES!!!

We are so enjoying our time here in Florida! We LOVE the 90 degree humid temperatures (I look 20 years younger with all this moisture! - that would put me to about age 9 since I'm "29" years old! LOL!!). Kids are swimming everyday and DH has come down to join us too.

Here is what we picked from Grandma/Lala's garden. Can you guess what they are? Leave a comment on this blog post and you can win the next Dizzy Broad BLOG CANDY!!:



And here is some more fun stuff: My Mom's group of clown friends! They are called the Sunshine Clowns and have names like Patches, Flowers, Cookie, Spritz, Cuddle Bear and Pearl. We met them at Steve's Place in Newport Richey and what a ball everyone had with them. All the customers and waitstaff were sporting clown "kisses" and stickers. Here they are pictured with some of the restaurant customers:


Look at these RECYCLED beauties!!! These are handcut, hand-crocheted and individually assembled by my talented Mom. All of our relatives have been saving their plastic grocery bags and then sends them to my Mom, who, in turn, cuts them into strips, strings the "yarn" together then painstakingly crochets them into these marvelous purses. We are doing our part towards saving the environment! She also uses vintage material to line the insides - some she has hoarded for 20+ years. Purses range in sizes and many have multiple pockets inside to keep your things organized. And also they zip shut so contents do not fall out! How cool is that?! If you look closely, you may be able to identify the plastic bags! I will start posting these shortly after we get back from vacation.


Happy 4th of July!! Now don't be shy and leave a comment guessing what those orange fruits are and you may be the next blog candy winner! Details later on what you'll win - I'll leave the contest open for 2 weeks to allow time for me to finish my vacation and to catch up with things at home. Happy day!

BLOG CANDY WINNERS!

I SWEAR there was no favoritism/nepotism that took place in selecting the winners of tonight's blog candy!

Drum roll plz......winner is hadesigns!! Congrats, Holly! Grant chose your name.

Now, there was a 2nd winner - favorite name for the teeth envelopes goes to: Tooth Treasure, submitted by Cami! Grant also chose this name - Beck's wouldn't choose, says that she can't read so she didn't want to choose (btw, he didn't know who submitted the names). Congrats ladies!

And thanks to Heather and Lila for playing along! I will pack up the goodies tonight and mail tomorrow!

Stay tuned tomorrow for sneak peek of Make-your-own Purse kits!
