DEBBI MICHIKO FLORENCE!!
CONGRATULATIONS, DEBBI (you lucky duck)!
Please email Mr. Cornelius at readermail (at) jamakimrattigan (dot) com for instructions about redeeming your prize!
Oh, Jama, I want one of everything! Thanks so much for including me in your plucky passel. Those fetching felted mice always get me, and those rolling pins! So much to love – each item makes me smile. :0) [And, Yay Debbi!]
I was totally side-tracked by those Instant Comfort pocket boxes. What a great idea! I would love to make some myself.
That Divine Love door is terrific!
I know — it’s that time again! I have to shift into gift buying mode earlier since I have to ship mostly everything. Am now in the wrapping and packing stage. Sigh.
Etsy shops are a wonder-so many things here. I love Robyn’s shop as you probably know, but those dogs made to order might just be the perfect gift for my grown children. Thanks jama, as always!
December 1st – Hooray! I love December for exactly this reason – arts & crafts every direction you look. Thanks, Jama – I’m going to go browse Etsy right NOW.
