Giveaway Winner + Friends + Being Naughty?

When I say this, I say it with all of the excitement you could imagine:  HAPPY FRIDAY!  It's been one heck of a long week, and we've made it through, friends.

So without further ado, I give you the winner of my Uprinting.com giveaway for 250 customized labels to design as desired:

Congratulations to Hopsy of Kappa Prep!  Please let me know how your monogram gift labels turn out.  And thanks to Uprinting.com for such a cool giveaway opportunity for my blog followers.

I also wanted to give a big thanks to Meggan of Lila Grace -- she so sweetly mentioned me during her outfit feature in this week's Maxi Skirts and Mexican Food blog post!  She was wearing a pair of A. Liz Designs earrings that she bought from my Etsy shop.  Thanks for the mention, hon!  (And if you want to see a seriously perfect maxi skirt, check out her post)

Lastly, I had a hot date last night ... with a fellow blogger.  It was my first time of meeting Christina from Carolina Charm, and she is quite a dear.  Christina is getting married in a few months and she asked me who I used for our wedding invitation calligraphy.  When I told her that I did my own, she told me that she also wanted to do her own too!  I offered to show her some basics, and we met at a coffee shop right near Michaels.  She is a total DIYer and so crafty -- I have no doubt her invitations will be beautiful.  I taught her a few tricks of the trade, and we went to Michaels afterwards so I could show her which pens and ink to buy.  Now she's all set to create beautifully-addressed invitations!  I can't wait to see how they turn out. 

These are the silk peonies at Michaels that I created
my wedding hair clip with -- Christina might DIY this too!

And if you click here you can get her recap of the evening.  TGIF!

PS - Thanks to Blogger stats, I can see great things, like the person that Googled "naughty honeymoon" and somehow landed on A. Liz Adventures.  Nice.
