i loved the cuffs and was "inspired" to save a cuff and try one myself....but....this is far better (not to mention finished) and would be a pleasure to sport...thanks for the chance.
Love the cuffs! I did get my ebook, thank you...love it, I am so inspired by your ideas!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
Pick me! Pick me!! Lovely cuff... and as always lots of inspiration!
You rock, Amy! And so do you your friends!

oh I'd love a cuff! But is one cuff enough? I'll have to make my own as well!
Beautiful work from all these artists!
I'd love to win the cuff and I love my Spring issue of "inspired ideas" ~ my link arrived yesterday! This issue (like the others) makes me smile!
Thank you Amy.
The cuffs are so a cute idea. I love all the different ones.r
Oh my gosh! When I saw the "blank cuff" at the beginning of the post, inspiration hit like a ton of bricks for not for anything remotely what your post was about! Not something to wear at all! But OH MY GOSH...I can't wait to get to Goodwill now!
Love this FANTASTIC idea!!!
That is a really neat idea! I love the verity,and how you can see personalities come out!
Love what you do! So inspiring and wonderful.
The cuffs are giving me ideas to make of my own...just too many ideas going through my head.
Oh Amy,
What a clever idea and all of the cuffs are wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us and of course, I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
Hugs,
Catherine
I'd love to win. In the meantime, my husband has an awful lot of blue dress shirts, I wonder if he would miss one or two . . .
What an terrific idea!!! I loved seeing cuffs but didn't attempt before but now with the recycle idea from shirts, wow. Excellent idea. I just love a quick, easy idea like that and can be gorgeous at the same time. Thanks for the idea and for the giveaway chance.
Nelly
