November shuttle giveaway!


I got a little carried away with the glitter nail polish, but that's okay. I love the way these shuttles turned out!


I even decorated the backs!

Would you like a chance to win one? Leave a comment on this post for your chance. The drawing will be Wednesday, November 9 in honor of what would have been my dad's 80th birthday.

I don't think Dad understood my obsession with shuttles, but he did make me a beautiful display case that I cherish. I remember him telling me that I had to stop collecting shuttles when my display case was filled. Luckily, my sister Janet gave me another display case for my birthday a couple of years later, and my husband built a display case for me last Christmas. I wonder where my next display case will come from? ; )

Note: If you are interested in seeing my display cases and some of my shuttle collection, type "display case" in the search box for my blog.

Aww, how pretty! I love glitter! Count me in :o) I love when I randomly find glitter on me or my stuff during the day, usually left over from something Livi and I did together. It's a pick me up :o)

These are just as beautiful as the ones last month! Do you have pictures of your display cases? I'd love to see all the shuttles on display!

Very pretty shuttles as always. I bought some modge podge and extra shuttles (no need to buy glittery nail polish, my older daughter is 11, we have lots)to give this a try with sometime soon...we'll see how it works out :-) I've read over your post on how you do them a couple of times and hope to try a couple in the next day or two.

Your display case must truely be a treasured thing...I recently lost my Grandfather, age 92, it's been so hard to have him gone though his life was long. I treasure the birdbath he made for me a few years ago even more now.

Oh Diane please post photos of your shuttle display cases. I have never seen one. Your father must have been very special to make you such a treasure. Yikes...I was using glitter where I shouldn't have been and now have it permanently attached to the wood table and floor. Mr. C will be very unhappy when he sees it...he does the floor cleaning and polishing...bless him. Wonderful week to you...

You should post a pic of one of your display cases- I love how shuttles are both a useful tool and frequently miniature works of art at the same time!
