first time viewer here. Love the tote- I have tried making them, but there is something I am missing from my tries! Maybe the color in the fabrics??

Right now am filet crocheting. New thing for me although a crocheter for awhile. Would use the tote for the crochet materials.

If truth be known I think my hobby is my family and grandchildren! does that sound stupid? Don't have much time for sitting and crocheting or much else!

And the Winner Is...............!

First off I want to thank everyone who participated - all 274 of you!

2nd, I need to clear something up - I asked you all what type of chocolate (if any) you didn't like. Various responses - BUT white chocolate is NOT really chocolate - just so you know - it ain't nope nope nope! Has no actually cocoa in it (it does have cocoa butter but that doesn't count) .

Whew I am glad I got that off my chest :)

Ok Ok without further ado...............what the heck does that mean anyhow? Anyway..............................................................................................................




















The winner is.......

Boy I hope you get the time to enjoy this lil luxury box soon.

I'll post a picture of the gift as soon as I finishing buying all the components tomorrow.

Update: Here is the loot!


We have 2 candles, two kinds of tea, two kinds of chocolate, 4 kinds of lotions, bubble bath (it looks like a bottle of champagne), a mini photo album, a wash glove, soap, cleansing cloths, a pack of mini hand sanitizers (more for the kids but helps Mom too), a mini spa kit, a couple body washes, cotton pads, a makeup bag, a buff puff and way in the back a canvas bag - I think that is everything.
