I am so glad that I am part of such a community of generous people. This world wide web has been a lifeline for me to so many talented people who are willing to share themselves with others. I am lucky that I have been able to earn my keep in the creative world since 1982.

Win a copy of Bespoke – Issue 2

~ GIVEAWAY CLOSED ~

I am so freakin excited to share this with you all! The amazing Jess, of Epheriell fame, has given me a copy of Bespoke to give to one of my luverly readers!

Isn’t the cover art divine??

Bespoke is a sweet little full-colour Australian print zine (also available in digital download format!), published by Jessica Van Den (the blogger behind EpheriellDesigns.com) and features a huge array of Aussie and international crafty types.

Issue 2 includes articles such as:
- vintage crafts - rag ruggin'
- how to find your vintage era
- a tutorial on how to carve a sweet birdie stamp
- the stories of 3 women who gave up corporate careers to launch thriving creative businesses
- thrive - an interview with a crafty lady making a full-time living from her upcycled kimono jewellery
- and lots more :)
Here’s a lil sneaky peak of what you’ll find inside:

Insert fangirl scream over the luvverly Pip, of Mikes fame
Ooh pretty!

Cannot wait to read these stories from folks ditching corporate for creative!  

Bespoke is written totally by the community, for the community. Jess is always on the lookout for submissions from artists, photographers, handmade and vintage biz owners etc So, if you would like to submit your article, become a sponsor, or would like to stock the mag in your store, please contact jess AT bespokezine.com

Now that I’ve told you all about it (Can you tell I’m a fan?), I’m guessing you want to know what you need to do to win. Well, nothing really! All you need to do is comment here telling me your favourite aspect of the creative community, and I will choose a random winner. It’s as easy as that!

The Envelope Project

Pip over at Meet Me At Mikes has a very cool project happening at the moment, and you really need to check it out!
The Envelope Project invites you to (taken from MMAM blog):

"Send us a decorated envelope with a few cute little papery or crafty things inside it. The envelope can be a regular business sized one, or bigger if you like. The things inside should not be expensive. Recycled or handmade or just extra things you have, which you think someone else might like, would be good. Make sure you keep your postage cheap, so don't be all extravagant. Just be cute."

The envelopes themselves will be displayed in the window at MMAM and all the goodies will be bundled together and sent to a random winner! How cool is that?! I sent my envelope in yesterday and can't wait to see it up in the window...and of course I'm realllly hoping I win!

Be sure to check it out and see some of the goodies that have already been submitted. Let me know if you plan on joining in - I'd love to recruit you all!

Til next time, take care,

Lita x
