ooh, I just saw the Adorn blog post today: they’re sponsoring a new contest to win one of five new craft books featured in the spring issue! I haven’t seen any of these yet but they look really fun — Re-Creative especially looks like it’s right up my alley. And all you have to do to enter is make an Adorn-inspired craft project (from any of the first three issues), snap a picture, and add it to their flickr group. All the info is here — you just need to upload your photo and comment by March 18.

So this is what I want to make: the locket necklace designed by editor extraordinaire Linda Permann (pictured on page 54 of the spring issue). It’s so pretty and vintage-modern, my absolute favorite.

I even have an old locket ready to go! By the way, that one is from super-cute bead emporium Ornamentea if you need to track one down…
