Congratulations to...

IslandGirlzJewelry!! Your "Days Gone By" charm bracelet is the first ever winner of the Handmade in Vegas monthly contest! The bracelet is really great because you featured so many of the vintage casinos that made Vegas what it is today. Your prize is that awesome stuffed dice from Flaky Friends. You can pick it up at the next meeting!

There were a couple items that made the decision very difficult. They are this month's Honorable Mentions. Congratulations to LocaLovesPirate for your gorgeous top hat & Brava Boutique for your beautiful dress.

The entries were amazing!! Thank you to everyone that participated!!

The theme for this month's contest is Re/Upcycled materials. All of the entries must be made primarily of recycled materials. If you have any questions, email me: peachyandpip@gmail.com

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Good luck!

Congratulations to the winners. It was very hard choosing because each contest member loves something different about Vegas.

I look forward to the June contest entries. I'm one of those dorks who brings home boxes and paper from work to recycle, so I wanna see lots of fantastic eco-friendly products.

I totally agree with the winners - that bracelet is amazing and could sell for a huge chunk of cash in any vegas boutique! Nice work :)

I'm so glad we're doing eco for the next challenge. That's something I don't usually do since I make children's items and the law says they have to be all new materials so I'm looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone.

And let me know, Island, if you want me to mail your dice (if you aren't coming to the craft party). I'd be happy to send it to you.

Your bracelet is awesome! Congrats on being the 1st winner.. I think we should have some type of torch or medal to pass on for each contest. Like on survivor with the idol. What does everyone think?
