She wrote back: Yippee! This just made my night! The wedding is August 14, and the rehearsal is the 13th, so as long as I have them a few days ahead of time, I'm all set...

Really, pick only one favorite out of all of those gorgeous wristlets? I think I would say 3, but honestly any bridesmaid would have to be thrilled to have such a generous gift from her bride. Last time I was a bridesmaid I got flip flops {seriously}...thank goodness I am too old for that now!
Oh, Suzanne they are achingly beautiful. I was going to comment them already...and then there's a giveaway involved...wow. #3 is my favorite. I probably won't win as I'm the lucky first comment, but thank you anyway for the chance. I love to follow your adventures.
It seems to be popular....#3 is my choice! They are all SOOOO cute! What a great idea for a bridesmaid gift!
ohhhh, what a great giveaway! I'm partial to number 5 :)
I would love to win.

What a great giveaway but what a tough choice! I'd be happy with any of them but #2 is my favorite. Thanks for giving us the chance to win one!

The wristlets are all so pretty. I'm sure that the bride-to-be will be delighted with them. If I win the give-away, may I have #2 please.
That was such a nice thing for you to do for her and for us! I love number 6. You've out done yourself again Suzanne. Such wonderful designs.
These wristlets are absolutely amazing! You are so talented--you should not under estimate yourself!!! I love all the color combination's, but if I had to pick it would be #1!

I just recently discovered your blog. I love all your great ideas! You are so very talented, and so generous! My favorite is #3.
So Sweet! I would love number 7!
i love them all!! but i think #2 is my favorite.
I love these wristlets! They are all so beautiful it was hard to choose but I love #2! You should sell them or do a tutorial because I would love one regardless of winning!
These are all so adorable it's hard to choose!! Those bridesmaids are going to be thrilled!
I love #6 the most!
What a great gift for the bridesmaids. I just know my grand daughter would love #4, if I would be so lucky to win. Have a great week and enjoy this cool Colorado weather! Sally
Beautiful work Suzanne! No wonder the bride insisted on having your wristlets! ;-) Number 7 is my favourite.
http://unplain-jane.blogspot.com
These are just precious! I think #7 is my favorite though. ;)
http://johnsonssimplelife.blogspot.com
The wristlets are lovely - my choice would be #2. I am a new follower, but love your ideas. I got brave enough to make some flowers because of you. My daughter will be wearing them in her hair!
HomeMatters1st.blogspot.com
seriously, could these be any cuter? how am i supposed to pick?
so it could go with almost any color since almost every color is included, i'd choose #3.
these are too too cute! lucky bride!
For Patricia:
for some reason, i can't leave a comment on your blog!... i love those wristlets. i love number 1.
but, really, it doesn't matter which one i won, if i did, i want it so i can learn how to make those. my daughter will be turning 13 soon and i think it would be a great gift bag for her friends after the party...
my blog page is http://www.patriciatruel.typepad.com
I've just gotten into blogging, and spend hours following all these wonderful blogs - one of which is yours. I have never entered a give-away, so if I would happen to win I would love #7 (although they are ALL beautiful!!). Thanks!
http://debbie-idodesigns.blogspot.com
I've said it before (and I know I'll say it again) -- you are amazing. These are lovely - those bridesmaids will love them.
My favorite is #6 - -but s others have said, it's so hard to choose. They are all beautiful.
Oh Suzanne they are all just lovely. I'm such a fan of your work since I won one of your bags a while ago.
The colors are beautiful but I'm really liking #2. What is the name of the fabric you choose?
I think they are just beautiful...but...I must be out of the loop..I don't know what they are! Are the bracelets or something they are doing for weddings? I have never seen them before...they are so very pretty! :D
These are so sweet - what a lucky bride! The flowers are the perfect touch. Although they are all beautiful I really like #5!
klaws1atcomcastdotnet
Oh my gosh they are all gorgeous! How to choose?? I guess if I HAVE to I'd pick #3. :) Good work they turned out so cute!
They are all beautiful but my favorite is #2. You are such a sweetheart for making them and giving one away!
missmelissaf at yahoo dot com
They are all so pretty! #2 is my favorite although picking one was a challenge! I'd be thrilled to have anyone of them...you've got an awesome talent for making beautiful things!
These are all beautiful! But #5 is my favorite. I'd love to win her!
Great gift idea!! Love the flowers on them. Thanks for the giveaway. I really like #4.
Oh my they are all so cute. I think I will have to say number 1. What a great idea for bridesmaid gifts. I am glad you were able to do them for her.
These are so cute! I just found your blog the other day and I love checking for updates! You have so many cute ideas and are so inspiring! My favorite is #2!! Pick me!!
I think that is so nice of you to make a a bride's day that much more special. I'm sure she (and her bridesmaids) will love them. I would definitely choose #6.
Gina
#6! #6! I just found your blog yesterday and fell in love! And I live in Denver and have little fantasies of finding you and moving into your ward so you can be my sinsei and teach me all your tricks. ;)
stephaniedix@gmail.com
Oh Suzanne! What lucky bridesmaids! They are all adorable, but I would pick #1 for myself. I love white and pink together!
oh wow- they are all so beautiful, i would have to say that "#6 - Santorini Trellis Floral by Lila Tueller" is my favorite! however, i am sure that any bridesmaid would be thrilled to have any one of those beautiful clutches! what a great idea!
They are all so beautiful, and love how you got all the "color choices" WITH coordinating fabric. I like #1. What a fun giveaway!
Hey sis! I love #3.
You are so sweet for making those for the bride. I know she is really happy. How could she not be?
They are all beautiful fabrics but I'd have to say #3! I love these. amiemendenhall@hotmail.com
Gotch...thanks for the info.
I like #2...it is hard to choose! :D
Suzanne, you have such a kind heart and I can fully understand why Diana did not want to take 'No' for an answer. Your creations are stunning and made to such a high standard, Diana's bridesmaids are very lucky ladies! Not sure if your gorgeous giveaway is open to international readers, but if not I had fun choosing my favourite :) I love No. 1. Hope you are having a wonderful week ~ Tina xx
Hi Suzanne,
I am too new to your blog, so I won't enter the contest, but I just wanted to say thank you for coming to my blog AND your wristlets are amazing!!!
Fantastic design and work--wow!
Hugs,
Cindy
Hey Suzanne,
I have to tell you I just love what you did with those frames and the writing above was unreal!!! You are SOOO talented!
Hugs,
Cindy
P.S. I called my husband over to the computer earlier today and said, "Honey--look at this--it's so awesome!" He loved it!
Yeah! I am a new follower of your blog and absolutely love all of your creative ideas! I love #3!
You do such beautiful work!!! I am loving those wristlets, but I think my favorite is #7. Thanks for hosting such a wonderful giveaway. I know you made that bride to be very happy!! Love & blessings from NC!

These are perfect bridesmaids gifts. You're a doll for making them. I most particularly love # 4.
I want them all! But if I HAVE to choose, I'd say #2. It's just beautiful!
These wristlets are beaut!! I love that are all different, it will definately be more special for each Bridesmaid. I personally like #2 - Piccadilly.
They are all so beautiful it's hard to choose. But if I must, when I win ;) I choose #3.
Thanks,
Lucy
its all beautiful... i luv #2
BEAUTIFUL!! You were the inspiration to make wristlets for my daughter's bridemaids in April this year...and they LOVED them!!! Your work is always so beautiful! I love them all but I guess I would choose #1. How kind of you to make them for that bride!!!!
I love #2! How beautiful!
I love them all but #1 jumps out at me. Thanks for having the giveaway.
Love them all, but I think that 3...or maybe 7..no, 3 definitely 3 is my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!
rudy1545 {at} gmail {dot} com
I looked at them and decided that I couldn't decide between #3 and #7 and then I looked at the fabric list and they are the same fabric! I guess I just have specific tastes... All of them are beautiful though and I would be happy with any but #3 and #7 are my favorites, with the Soirre fabric!
I just LOVE #1. Your bags have such great charm.
Love #6. Gorgeous. They look fabulous!
etsyteachermom at gmail dot com
Too fun! You are a saint to make all those wristlets! They are gorgeous! I particularly like #3, but they are ALL beautiful!
The fabric and colors of wristlet is my favorite, but you sure make it hard to choose with all those great combinations! Thanks for the chance to win!
I really love them all... I'd be happy to win any of these awesome wristlets. #1 and #6 catch my eye but if I had to pick just one I would go with #3. :)
mriricat23 @ yahoo dot com
How sweet! I found your blog a week ago and have it on my Google Reader now and have told several friends about it... it's wonderful!!! Thanks for the giveaway--#3 is my fave :)
these are just adorable! I think #1 is my fave but it is definitely not an easy decision. :)

I love how fabulous these turned out. I think #7 is my favorite. What a lucky bride-to-be!
I'm a newcomer to your blog. That was really nice of you to take on the special order. They are all beautiful bags. I really like them all, 4 is my favorite. Thanks for hosting!
I have been a long time follower and lurker on your blog. Love your style. They wristlets are all gorgeous. However my favorite would be number 3.
I am having a hard time picking between number 2 and 7. Both have different color schemes on top and I like both for differnt reasons (coloring mostly). All I know is I wish I were a brides maid.
I have been a fan of your site for a very long time. I love all the projects you have done and jealous how you are so talented. I would love the wristlet #7, but they all are soo cute!
I just love you wristlets! I am not the greatest seamstress. ;-P
Also, I am inspired by your art wall in the previous post!
Just found your blog a couple of weeks ago. You are so talented! I check your blog daily and get all giddy when a new post is up. You are so generous to give away one of these awesome wristlets. I would be thrilled with any one of them, but since I have to chose I'll go with no.7. Thanks!
Beautiful work! So glad you had a bride who wouldn't give up on getting you to do her order. I am partial to #2 but glad to see what you do!
I loved the owls and thanks for your comment!
This is an awesome giveaway! I totally swoon over #3!!!
#5...no wait...#4...actually #2, yes, #2!! It's so hard to decide! I love them all! You are so talented, and I love your fabric choices! Oh, and I'm going to attempt one of your darling pillows today! Wish me luck! :)
Oh wow! It's so hard to choose because I love them all...but I'm going to say #2 - Piccadilly (what a fun name too) is my all time fav! Thank you for the chance to wiin *Crosses fingers*
~Terrell @ FrouFrouDecor~
I would be thrilled with any of them, but #2 would be perfect for my daughter's wedding in August. Purple is one of HER colors.
Wow...I just discovered your blog and I am amazed. You are so talented! I would love to have #7 These wristlets are just so darn cute.

Well you certainly made that bride-to-be happy! She was so determined, and I really don't blame her. They are, indeed, darling. I love #2 myself, athough I think they're all outstanding!
I'm especially partial to number 6... you do amazing work and I love reading your posts and learning from you!
I love your blog..and i love love love love these wristlets...you are an inspiration!!! I can't pick a favorite..i'm leaning toward #2..but they are all beautiful:)

They are all so cute! I love #1. :)
i LOVE THEM ALL.....but my fave is #1 :)
Just discovered your blog the other day and I love it! I can't wait to pick up some beautiful organic muslin to start sewing some beautiful creations.
I love the Lila Tueller fabrics, I think #6 is my favorite! I plan on buying some of these fabrics to accent my new house!
Thanks!
This is such a hard decision as they are all beautiful, each and every one of them! Since pink is my favorite color, I'm thinking #5!
Thank you for such a generous giveaway! I would LOVE to win a wristlet!
It was so nice of you to fulfill this bride's wish!

cathycomm@aol.com
Your work is fabulous! Love all of this but I guess I would pick #2 please!
Wowzers! You've done such a beautiful job. I can see why she pestered you - I would have too! I love number 4 the bestest but they are all wonderful of course! I too hate the pressure of special orders. Good work lady!
How sweet Suzanne! You did a fabulous job on the wristlets. I would love number five if I were ever so lucky.
Oh how cute! I want the one with a rose on it! ;->. But...if I have to pick one...I'll take number 7, no #1, no...#3....darn! Okay..number 2.
I'm thinking #1 speaks to me. These are lovely!
Those are adorable!!! How sweet of you to give one away. I hope I win ;)
I think they are all so cute, but I really REALLY like #6
These are gorgeous! If I had to choose just one, I would go with #5-for some reason that color just calls to me!
Beautiful work Suzanne.
These are just way too cute. Those are some very lucky bridesmaids. Thank you for entering my name into your generous give-away. I like number 4 the best.
Have a fabulous Friday. ~Natalie
I'm new to your blog and I just love all the creative things you come up with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
These wristlets are georgeous! #3 has to be my favorite.
Suzanne,
We are in Seattle, and I just read your post about the wristlets saga. I know I'm too late to be in the running for the give-away, but I must tell you how adorable they are! PLEASE, PLEASE. Don't stop making them (although I'm sure you should take a much-needed break after the reunion). I'm simply in love with everything you create!
Hi Suzanne, so happy that you stopped by my blog and left a comment. Comments really are special and make us bloggers feel special and encouraged, so I am happy to see that you get a lot of that! ;0 Also happy to have found your blog. I look forward to perusing it frequently. I love each wristlet, but no. 2 just floats my boat, so put me down for it.
xx,
Autumn Clark

OK, Suzanne...put my name in too...I would love to win any one of these gorgeous creations for my DIL!!! I suppose #2 matches her personality best...she likes darker colors! Thanks, Suzanne for having such a fun giveaway!
BTW...you are an angel for doing this for this bride...she will never forget it! What a special thing!!!
I love #6. What a pretty fabric and cute design! Love the flower!
What a great thing you did for the bride! I would never have been gutsy enough to ask someone to do that. They turned out so well!
Wow! I am in time for a give away, I love #6. I just found your blog, and the first post was your Fine Art Gallery. I loved the idea! I have a wall of art just as lovely as yours but they are held up with scotch tape. I am heading to the thrift store and creating my own gallery. I have put your blog on my daily check list.

Oh Suzanne! I'm just loving these. If I were lucky enough to win one I would pick #7. These are so adorable and you are a big sweetie for making these for the bride.
Yay, a givewaway! These are too cute, I hope I win! :)
Number 6 is beautiful.. My daughter would love it.. I love your style. :)
I LOVE #4! the green mixed with the plum is the perfect combo for my life surrounded by boys! Perfect and Girlie!!!
I can't tell you how hard it was to make a decision!! I finally decided to go with #7 :) Thanks for having this give away, thankful for the opportunity to win one!!!
Valentine @ mvbarnes.blogspot.com
That was definitely a hard choice. They are wonderful, and I know those bridesmaids will be excited. I chose #2, and will have to head back and check out your etsy. Those would make some wonderful graduation gifts. I am getting ready to try your owl tutorial for my daughter. Thanks for sharing. Jackie
This is my first time visiting your blog and I L-O-V-E these wristlets! My favorite is number 7. In a home with a husband and a 7 month old baby I rarely get to feel girly and I love the girly feel of this!
They are all gorgeous. Even though I am not a pink person (purple is my favorite color), I really like #5
paule-marie

What a nice giveaway! I prefer number 4. Great little gifts and how nice of you to make them for the bride. (Her note to you was sweet.)
They are all beautiful. I really would be happy to win any one of them, but number three is great.
Oh wow, just found your blog and LOVE it! I am having a tough time deciding between number 2 and 3, but I guess 3 wins. They are all very pretty.
backyrat at aol dot com
I just spent 5 minutes staring at all of the wristlets trying to decide which was my favorite. It was a hard choice, but after much deliberation, I'd choose #7. They are all beautiful and so fun.
Santorini Trellis!!! I'm one in 143entries, so I'm super hopeful.
They are all absolutely beautiful, but I'm going with #2. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win your beautiful creation!
Gail
oh my! these are so darling!These wristlets are TOO STINKIN CUTE...I would choose number # 3! Now, I'm channeling all the luck I can to win this darling purse. meag.vaughn@gmail.com
I LOVE #3!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your blog, just found it today! It is hard to decide which is my favorite wristlet, but my eye keeps getting drawn to number 3, so I have to say that would be my favorite.
I've added you to my Favorites so I can stop back often.
I adore #7 but they are all gorgeous.
I like #1 the best, although it was hard to choose.
