Hi Guys!  Today is the last day of our week of Graphic 45 projects with Nikki, and the last day to enter our $50 gift certificate giveaway.  First, I want to give a big thank you to Nikki Brown, our guest artist this week, for all of her projects she shared here on the blog.  It's been great fun, and I know she appreciates all of the wonderful comments. I didn't want the fun to end, so next week I am doing a week of my favorite Christmas projects, and ornament tutorials.  Some of the tutorials are by Bob, so be sure to come back!  He's a pretty crafty guy, as you may already know!

Tonight I will be announcing the winner of our $50 gift cerfticate giveway to www.melissasamuels.net here on the blog.  That means you still have today to enter.  Just leave a comment on this post, and you'll be entered into our giveaway!  For more chances to win, also comment on previous posts this week.

Congratulations, Richard!!  Please email me at melissa@melissasamuels.net to claim your certificate!

Here it is the last project by Nikki.  It's a beautiful altered jewelry box she decorated using Graphic 45's A Ladies Diary.  I adore altered boxes, and this one is not only gorgeous, but has a practical use of housing jewelry.  Nikki transformed a plain wooden jewelry box into this fantastic work of art.  If you can't find a jewelry box, a cigar box would be perfect for this project.  Most cigar shops sell them for a couple of dollars. 

I hope you have enjoyed the projects this week.  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you next week!
