and the giveaway winner is…

First of all, I apologize for doing this late (excuses for what they’re worth: sick on the weekend and working WAY too much overtime)

Congratulations Sunlite!

Please send me your snail mail address and I’ll send you your very own corset origami ornament!

guest blogger at Campfire Chic

I while back (way back in Oct), Kam from Campfire Chic encouraged her readers to get out there and start writing guest blog posts. I thought her points made a lot of sense, so I decided to give it a go!

So without further ado: my very first guest blog post, a star origami garland tutorial is up at her site.

To add more excitement to mix... she's hosting a giveaway to go with it! Go check it out!
