Lizzie Kate Creative Challenge....

Angela hosted a LK Creative Challenge on the Lizzie Kate Lovers blog last month and I just had to join the fun.  The challenge?  To stitch and finish the LK freebie "Friendship Grows". 
Well, here is my entry.....

stitched with coordinating DMC on 18 ct. oatmeal Aida

Thanks to all of the wonderful stitchers on that blog who voted for me, I won!!!!  There were some wonderful entries and some neat ideas so please check them out if you haven't already! 

The fob is my next project for sure!

The best part....the prize!  Linda from LK donated these two Limited Edition kits(signed by her very self) as well as a neat calculator (in my favorite lime green color) and some bookmarks.   I love the Halloween fob and think the the "Chicks Rule" is just too cute for words.   As you can imagine....it was a great mail day.

Now...the big question is can you tell it is a flower pot???  In person, there is no question, but I think it is hard to tell in the pic.  

The neatest thing about this finish?  It is a "pocket" with a hanger so that I could tuck some neat stuff inside .....

....great place for some stitchy gift stuff, gift cards....oh the possibilities are endless don't you think?  Of course, this one is mine but I can't wait to try this finish again with different shapes.  The wheels are definitely turning....

Well....I think that's enough gushing for one day!  I really do love this one and thank you for looking!  I will shut up now!

Happy stitching....
