And the winner is...

Thank you to everyone who has particpated in the Swan Lake Giveaway.  I thought we would get a few more, but I am guessing as it wasn't on Facebook, people got a little scared and it was slightly more complicated than a post on there;)

The winner is comment number 20. I can confirm that the person is a liker of the page, so the winner is Jenni Michon. Jenni wins the Black Swan, White Swan feather headbands and the black cabochon clips! Jenni, roll up and CONGRATULATIONS!!! (Hear the roar in the background or perhaps that is Miss Emily roaring from her bed;))

Thanks again to everyone who has participated. There are so many familiar names in there that I feel very lucky to have had you all participate and support this little give back to you.

I am officially on "hols" as of tomorrow (yippee), but that means I am going to be focussing on my family and do some personal creating and training up in time for spring/summer time.

I am also going to be participating in Collaborate for A Cause with the talented Melisa from Melisa Jane Handmade and I can't wait. I have some gorgeous fabric waiting to be unleashed into something.  I plan on utilising my blog a bit more. When I can think of something to do a tutorial on, I may even unleash that you the world too!!

Night all,

Swan Lake Giveaway!


To celebrate Izzy B Designs (finally) reaching 1000 likers on my Facebook page, I wanted to give something back to my lovely likers. 

I have some absolutely wonderful customers and friends who have been there with since the beginning when I was based in Port Hedland. Over the last year and a half, the friends have gradually grown and since moving to the South West of Australia Izzy B has definitely grown and evolved. I am extremely proud of my wee creations, where we have come from and where we are going.

This is also to say "adieu" as I go on an extended leave for rest, recuperation and precious family time as of May 31st, back in time for summer. 

So here are the details...

This is a "Swan Lake" Gift Pack:

2 hard headbands:
Black Swan - is positioned to fit a woman, a gorgeous black hackle feather, with a lovely rhinestone feature attached to a satin wrapped headband.


White Swan - is positioned to fit a child or could still fit an adult, but is positioned slightly higher than the other feather.  It features a stunning white hackle feather, with a vintage inspired pearl and rhinestone feature attached to a satin wrapped headband.


And...
Black Cabochon bobby pin set - vintage inspired silver bobby pins.



And to remind you what these look like on, remember this stunning photo taken by Nicole Yardley Photography, here is Miss Izzy B wearing the first one created....

Hello my name is Sarah, and I have been guilty of not keeping ANY of my new year's resolutions LOL! I do love to blog, but have become a facebook addict and it has taken over my life, well just a little, so I think that I will have to devote some more time and energy to my lovely blog.

The first thing I want to do, is to have a bit of a giveaway to celebrate reaching 1000 likers on my facebook page. I will be launching that this week. It will be fun as I haven't done a giveaway for ages and I am going on a bit of a break over the winter while I hibernate, practice and get new skills and... watch Masterchef too (children going to bed on time too of course!!!)

Well, this is the first blog in nearly 5 months so feeling proud of myself. I have also given the blog a bit of a spruce up with my lovely new branding. I am in LOVE with it. Done by the talented D of The Photo Spot.

Off to feed my lovely family.
