MysticWynd Monday Mania Featuring a Giveaway from TiLT Creations

It's Monday and that means the beginning of a new giveaway period! This week's giveaway - this wonderful 3 Leaf Zip Clutch - comes to you courtesy of TiLTCreations on Etsy. This clutch has a retail value of $25 and is TiLTCreations' newest (soon to be released) offering. In lovely autumn colors (shown here in bright sunlight as well as indoor lighting), this zippered clutch measures 7 1/2"w x 6"h with a 5" loop strap and three 3" felt leaves.

I thought it would be great for you to get to know a little bit more about Theresa, her life and her business, so I asked her a few questions. These are her responses!

Share a little about how you came up with your shop name - TiLTcreations. I knew I wanted something that could be used for more than just my bags...just in case. My shop name came from my initials...TLT. Whenever I sign them, it looks like it needs an "i" in there...so I used that for my shop :)

Name one thing that not many people know about you. I have 5 tattoos.

Who would you want to play you if they wrote a movie about your life? Jennifer Garner...because then I could see my life if I were pretty, funny & able to kick a$& :)

You have a birthday coming up in October - on that note, what is the best birthday present you've ever received? My sewing machine. Easy. Next question :)

Your shop bio mentions that you've enjoyed art ever since your first Crayola - If you could be a crayon, what color would you be? Chartreuse...because then I would be my youngest son's favorite color.

What's the most unusual request you've ever gotten for a custom item? Does my son asking for a purple blob monster count? LOL But really, the actual item was not unusual, but the wording was..."a pretty bag like that one [I was wearing it] but make it a man bag, so have it go Grrr" - and pink is ok"

Thanks to Theresa for sharing a little bit about herself! Alrighty - so you're asking... how do you win that beautiful clutch?
