New Item of the Week

Sorry the new item of the week will not be posted until Tuesday. I just finished the item, which is a pair of earrings but I didn't not have an opportunity to take pics before the sun went down. I found that the pics look better in sun light.

I have an announcement regarding the item of the week. This will be the last week that I will be holding a give away for the item of the week. It is becoming too costly and hasn't generated a lot of participation that I hoped for. I will still post new items and would love to hear your opinions on them. I will also continue to host give aways but it not as frequently as every week.

Since this is the last week of the new item of the week giveaway I will also post a pic of the prize. Make sure you stop by my blog Tuesday for your chance to win a free pair of Fabulous Chic Earrings.

And the winner is...
