A thousand apologies for keeping you guys waiting! Wow it has been so chaotic for me lately. If you've read my previous entry you'll know what I'm talking about... Between trying to do damage control on my systems and doing on my web work and maintaining hyperart, I've barely even had time to step outside of the apartment!

Anyways. There were so many great comments by you folks! I saw several idea suggestions for tote bags. It's funny, because this morning, while I was half asleep in bed, I thought of a good tote bag idea. Perfect! Once I can clear some time up again I'll work on a free tutorial for this.

Without further ado...our winners! ::drumroll::

Winner of QUICKIE Clutch
Commenter Abby says... love your clutches...totally my style...I've been looking for some sort of sunglasses holder pattern, including a drawstring?
Winner of Old-World Map Cup Coasters

Congratulations! I'll be contacting each of you for your mailing infos.

Wow, we had so many entries between the comments and tweets and facebook fans and newsletter signups. And thank you so much to everyone who participated! I think this very first hyperart giveaway was so fun and helpful, I want to keep doing it! So now I'm going to go ponder about what to do next. So come back soon! I'll be working on that tote tute also. :)
