Well, I have some good new to share with you. Starting now, through Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time), I have the honor of doing a drawing/giveaway for a $30 gift certificate from Crafty Secrets. Yep, $30 bucks worth of Crafty Secrets product… That’s petty good don’t you think? All you need to do is leave a comment here on my blog (if you can, please make sure and include your email address), or just check back on the date and time given’ above, that’s when I will have the winners name and comment posted here. Have fun and good luck ;)
For my project today, I added some bat wings to this darling Halloween Vintage Postcard Kit from Crafty Secrets, for a different twist. Then I added glitter to the bow, wings, and little bats. As much as I like glitter, it doesn't like my camera.. I find it never looks as good in a picture as it does in real life LOL!
Be sure and check out Crafty Secrets Website, and Heartwarming Vintage Blog for much more inspiration.

This is just so sweet! I really love the vintage look and this just reminds me of being a kid at Halloween. And I love the great touch you've added with the batwings. Thank you so much for sharing.

I've been noticing Crafty Secrets products for a while, but have not bought any yet. Some of their products are absolutely lovely. A gift certificate would be just the thing - thanks for the chance to win one!

LOVE the bat wings, the glitter (I agree--my glitter never "shines" in photos either!), and the fabulous beading at the bottom--beautiful!!!
