yes...it's true....I've been "bloggin" for a year now...is that even a word? Bloggin? I think Missy teased me about that word way back early on in the year. It works for me! So are we having a party? well...no...unless you call mowing the lawn and pulling weeds a party! yuck! Are we having a give away? Of course!!!!! How about this cute bundle of fabric....from my FAVORITE prints!
As I was putting them together....I thought they'd be so cute in a quilt. But check out the picture....isn't this a cool picture? Yesterday we had product studio day in my photography class and since I knew I was going to post a picture of these...I bundled them up and took them.
And.....can you guess what this is? Comment on what you "think" it is...and that will enter you in my "Blog" Birthday Giveaway! Don't worry....all guess' will be entered...as I think you all will get it right!
And.....I got some mail today! Yippee!!! As I went to open it...I noticed that it said on the back "do not open until your birthday! OOPPSSS I "almost" opened it! So I looked at the sender and didn't recongnize it...then I started thumbing through some of my past orders thinking a customer sent me something...and then I called Missy and said "you gotta help me". You see...I wanted to post about it...but I didn't want to hurt any feelings not knowing who it was. And I was right...I have no idea who it was and I could search through orders way back to 2001 and still not know! LOLOL Cause Missy had it ordered and sent to me! What a friend!!!!! And then I said..well...it's my birthday today...my blog birthday!!! How perfect was that! And I knew saying that, she would let me open it because Missy CAN NOT stand surprises or suspense and not knowing! She has no patience at all! And normally I would have waited...since I rarely get anything on my birthday...but shoot....I decided to open it and OMG....LOOK!!!
okay girls...it's the strap that she got me..not the camera! Isn't it so darn freaking cute! We saw these a few months back and I wanted one...I HATE the Canon one...it's HOT on my neck! So you see...Missy listens to me!!!!! Thanks Missy....I LOVE Ya!!!!!!
K...off to celebrate some more by now going to the grocery store....and I'm sure I have grass in my hair from mowing the lawn...but who cares....who do I have to impress right?
Comment away girls!!!! I wanna see what you think the stuff is!
oooppssss...I forgot to tell you when I'm going to pull the name! How about the 18th...thats just over a week away!
Happy 1st Blogaversary to YOU, Nicole!! I think Missy has the perfect answer - LOL! I think it's glitter! As in Glitter and Grunge!

Happy Blog Birthday! Those look like beads to me, but I'm sure they must be something much more exotic than that!
Posted by: Lisa D. | November 13, 2007 at 10:17 AM

Posted by: sue | November 13, 2007 at 08:26 AM

Hey Nicole!
I hope you had a Happy Blog Day!
I had too many guesses so I asked John what he thought!! I thought maybe I would guess the one we both came up with! Can't do that because we didn't come up with the same one! Anyway, after much thought my guess is, glass chips!

Happy Blogiversary, Nicole!!!! I'm guessing metal chips or confetti although I'm leaning more towards Missy's guess. Funny!!!!
Posted by: Doe | November 12, 2007 at 03:56 PM
Cool camera strap!
Glitter or itty bitty pieces of glass.
Posted by: Darlene | November 12, 2007 at 08:17 AM
Happy Birthday/Blogs Day. The picture looks like jeweled thumbtacks?? or glass beads of some kind. That is a great camera strap. Where can we find it?

Terrific camera strap, lovely bundle of fabrics, absoloutely no idea what the photo is, so I'll guess and join the majority and say glitter.
Posted by: Linda | November 12, 2007 at 07:42 AM

Posted by: tina | November 11, 2007 at 12:24 PM
How fun! I think maybe, just maybe, they are mosiac pieces? Love the gift Missy sent...very neat strap! And the fabric is pretty!

Congratulations on your blog birthday Nicole! *Ü*
Hope your day continues to be filled with fun surprises.
As for my guess...I have to agree with everyone else. It looks like little glass squares. Maybe scrapbooking embellishments....bedazzler jewels...LOL Or maybe the innards of a kaleidascope. Hahaha Well anyways the picture is great & the fabric is oh so cute! Love your selections! Perfect vintage taste. Have a good day! Hugs Janna

HAPPY BLOG BIRTHDAY NICOLE~~
Now, the picture......its like I have seen this before. I am thinking it is from a lamp or possibly some piece of stained glass. It looks definitely like glass from something. But you have me perplexed with this one. I am probably gonna kick myself when you finally reveal what it really is. Cool picture.
Posted by: Gianna | November 10, 2007 at 08:53 AM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR NICOLE........
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...
Sorry if I was a little out of tune. :)

Posted by: Pam | November 09, 2007 at 07:55 PM
Happy birthday! I think it's so fun that the crafty blog world celebrates blogiversaries! Especially when they're an excuse to have a giveaway.
My giveaway guess is that it's a super close-up shot of glitter.
I must also say that is an awesome present from Missy. I have total strap envy now! Where did you guys find it?
