The Covert Robin: Prizes!!!

Sign-up to participate in The Covert Robin is open for another week, and guys..there are 60+ people signed up so far to participate. That is huge. There is so much potential for meeting new people I can't even stand it. (You know how much I love meeting new people, right? I lurve it, and I don't whip the "l" word out for just anything.)

As a cohost I get to give away a prize to a random participant (all 8 of us do which translates into 8 chances to win on top of the totally awesome thing someone makes for you) and I had to think for a bit about what in the world I would give away as a prize. I mean...really. WHAT DO I GIVE???!!  

Instead of making something as a prize I've decided to give one of my absolute favorite things handmade by someone else away. What is that thing? Jewelry.


Awwwwww yeeeaaah.


Not just any jewelry, though -  a Karolin Felix original. 

See, I am not really a jewelry person. I don't wear much beyond my wedding and engagement rings. Sometimes I bring out a necklace when wearing formal wear but it is usually something simple hanging on a non-flashy chain. Maybe the singular diamond my parents got me for my 21st birthday. My casual jewelry choices bounce between two things - my copper locket which houses pictures of my loved ones, and my pencil necklace.

When I first saw Karolin Felix's pencil necklaces in her Etsy store I kind of fell in love with them. Obviously. And when I got mine in the mail it was as awesome as I'd hoped it would be.

So now, you will get a chance to win one! This one, in fact:




But only if you participate in The Covert Robin

Remember, you still have a week to sign up, and then until the end of March to get your goods made.

Old Post Revisted: Paczki Day!




It's Fat Tuesday and I am in the process of making Paczki, so I thought I'd revist last year's post so you could remember the deliciousness with me.  Go read it and drool at the yummy!
