princesszhing: a giveaway! (and its over!! )

i've been crafting all month to come up with cute hairbands for my bridesmaids!! i've had so much fun putting them together that i've made an extra one to giveaway to you lovelies!!

im also curious to find out who reads my little blog so just pop in to say hi. okay... i have a little confession. its actually really goofy cos i was so so excited to make something awesome to share but now that i have it, im feeling a little insecure and embarrassed about it. its really tiny but comes with all my love!! and oh well! but i've already announced it to my always-supportive pals so i must..

here goes! 



its a hand-made black tulle dahlia. i attached it onto a black ribboned hairband! :)

drop a comment to say hi by friday, march 26! i'll pick a random winner and ship them to wherever you are! 

xoxo,
zhiying

  3. Just popping in to say hi and yes I do read your blog. It's nice that you have an extra one but I am soooo not a girly girl at all so I am sure it will go to someone more deserving of your lovely work. ;)

  24. Hi!
    Hi Zhiying!
    Have been a quiet reader for some time now and thought maybe I'll say 'hi'!
    I love reading about your little DIY projects, you are so creative! It gives me some ideas on what to do for my own craft work. But my level of creativity is nowhere near yours. :-/
    Cheers,
    Venetia

  38. hi sweets!! :) thanks for dropping a note!! its still a few more months to our wedding but things are starting to get a little crazy! :)
    how is staying in melbourne? its meant to be one of our options but im chicken to give it a go! the last time i stayed there i was only a toddler.. but i think i had a blast!!! :)
    good luck for the giveaway! i hope you win! you sound like a sweetie!

  39. It's nice here in melb experiencing 4 seasons in a day. U can give it a go and stay for a few month and see how it goes.
    I've been here abt 5 years already and I get confused where i call home. Sg is still my home. But I'm here for good i think. I have a toddler to keep me insane and sane at the same time.
    In your next trip, if u have the time, we can meet up if u ok to have food thrown your way (courtesy of my toddler) *wink
