Giveaway Shame

Yes, I am giving away shame. Mine.
Some of you may remember that I had a little giveaway over a year ago. Over a year ago! Five winners were promised something handmade from me. Well, it's been looming over me that whole time, and I have finally acted. So I need your addresses. Maybe you don't even remember who you are:

Lizzy
Joanna
Stacey
Koni
Laurie Jayne

I think a couple of those people don't even read my blog anymore, that is how long it has been. But I need your addresses, namely Koni and Joannna. (I'm not sure if Joanna has been reading since I went private, so I'll need your help Melissa!)
If I don't get the addresses, then someone else can be a lucky winner.
A certain sister-just-younger-than-me who shall remain nameless suggested that I just forget about it. But I didn't! I felt guilty for so long, I am happy to be done with it.
So here's what you're getting:

A bundle of six handmade cards!
One birthday card:

Three any occasion cards (fresh flowers, birds on a wire, and poppies):

And two cards for welcoming baby:

I used watercolors for the backgrounds on some of them, and since the cards were made of regular cardstock instead of watercolor paper, they got a little wrinkly. I hope you don't mind. Also, since they're handmade, they will have some variations, though they're pretty much the same. I guess what I'm saying is that those of you who end up with a first draft might find some little mistakes. Again, I hope you don't mind.
Okay. So I'll get these in the mail, and it will finally be off my chest!

Oh, I am so excited! I thought you had already paid up when I came to dinner at your house becuase you "made" something for me. I feel so lucky that I get cards now to boot. We should do dinner soon. Greg and I would love to have your family over!

Oh mercy. I'm so happy to be getting something so cute. People will know it's not from me.

Also, remind me to tell you about the time I threw away a short stack of wedding thank-you-notes 13 months after our wedding. They represented the people for whom we did not have good addresses, and I couldn't face the shame another day. Plus it was just one of those days when I purged our bedroom of all unnecessaries, which included most of the room.

AHH I love the cards!! So beautiful and creative! I love them! I'll facebook you Joanna's address- I'm not sure either if she reads still. But if she already sent it, then don't worry about it :) Way to keep up with your promise!

I am lucky enough to say I have an original card (which I framed for the wall) done by Ami, as well as one by Joel!

Lucky you - being in the 100 club for the Jazz game! And now Dane is into basketball even though he's not past whatever percentile! He is so funny. Joel, keep that armpit hair growing!
love you. Mom F

Hey I nominated you for a blog award because I really do love your blog- and ok so maybe "blog awards" aren't the most exciting thing, but I really really do love to read your fun adventures and clever wit spread throughout your blog. So check it out on my blog.

I love those cards. It almost makes me wish that I had been one of the people who won them, except then I would have to make something, and I think I probably wouldn't have needed the support of my sister to just abandon it and leave people hanging. PS. I saw Leslie on Monday, and I mentioned to her that you sometimes think about contacting/visiting her, and she said you should definitely do it.
