And We Have Winners!

Time to announce the winners in the Star-crossed Lovebirds Witch BOO't giveaway!

I attempted to make videos of the drawing to show they are on the level. However, I'm no director, so they are what they are. :)

I'm going to share the tutorial drawing results first for suspense, even though we actually drew the boot winner first. My daughter did the honors of being our hand model. There were seven entries for the Witch BOO't Tutorial/pattern, of which 2 were for sharing links.

1. Hullabuoy
2. Creepy_Creations
3. Leah
4. MissingWillow
5. The Cardboard Crafter

bonus entries for shares:

6. Creepy_Creations
7. Leah

And the winners were...



...Creepy_Creations and Leah!! Congrats to you both! Must say sharing links paid off for our tutorial winners. :) I'll be sending your links over to you sometime tonight.

And now for the BOO't! We had four entries for the boot. They were:

1. Hullabuoy

The wind in your feathers, a skull at your back
Highlight your eyes so sexy and black
But alas my love,soon we must fly
For in full scope of these cats we certainly shall die
So beckon our wings to depart from this wall
For our fate shall be written in blood should we stall
And Raven and Ravenette will no longer be
But a pile of bent feathers of you and me.

2. Creepy_Creations

Two little birds kissing on a gate
Along came a cat and...ate!!!

3. Leah

Resigned to our fate We sit upon this gate.
While under the eyes of the moon I will sing a lover’s tune
As we wait for black to announce Their presence with a pounce.

4. MissingWillow

There once was a gal named Miel
Who made witch boots particularly well.
You best keep your money
She won't sell you one, honey
She's giving one (but don't anyone tell).

And...the winner of the drawing is...



...**drum roll here**...Hullabuoy!!! Yay! Congrats to Cathi! Please send me you shipping info and I'll get the boot out to you ASAP. I'll have the printable image ready hopefully tomorrow and will send instructions for retrieving it to each of you via email.

I sure hope these videos are viewable. This is my first attempt at posting my own from my camera. I had to clip it in half to get them to upload.

House Elf Needs a Good Home (Find him on Ebay)

Do you think you can handle your own House Elf?



One of mom's House Elves has been running a muck, and we've decided he needs to go. Under that sweet looking innocent face lurks a total terror. He's getting harder to handle than a freshly caught Cornish Pixie and has sticker fingers than a barrel of Nifflers! You may recall back when I posted about the triplets. We hated to separate them, but this one just isn't playing nice with the other elves here. So, we've decided to find him a family of his own, who can give him the attention he needs to straighten him out.

If you've got what it takes to adopt him, head over to our eBay listing. It will end Sunday, Oct. 23rd in the early evening.
