Hi, Everyone. First of all, I want to thank everyone who entered this contest for the coupon organizer. You are all wonderful and I wish I could give you each one.
The first winner picked was actually number 28, The Handler, but she advised me that if, by chance, she did win this, to go ahead and pick another winner as she won the last contest for a coupon organizer. So thanks so much Sandy.
The next number that the Research Randomizer drew was number 10, Strumf. Congrats.
I have sent out a PM to Strumf and am just waiting to hear back from her. The winner has 72 hours to contact me and if I have not heard back by then, another winner will be picked.

I was lucky enough to recently have the opportunity to review a coupon organizer from JapanesqueAccents
And Melissa has kindly offered one of you the chance to win one also.
The organizer I received is gorgeous. Plus everything on Melissa's sites, MrsStitches and JapanesqueAccents is all handmade.
Melissa, the owner of Japanesque Accents, and I have been corresponding by email quite a bit. She lives in California and loves cats. Needless to say, I had to bore her with my story of Walter, my demonic furball.
Melissa's specialty is in the oriental prints but she has been collecting a lot of quilted rose design florals, which, when she can, she will be making and listing on her non-Japanese store on Etsy, MrsStichesDesigns
Here is the pic of some of the organizers:
It also come with the dividers:
This is what Melissa has to say about her products:
"My coupon organizers’ uniqueness lies in the fact that they are made from pre-quilted imported Japanese fabric that I pick up personally on annual shopping excursions in Japan. I’ve never found this fabric anywhere in the U.S. I don’t buy in bulk ANYTHING so as to keep my fabrics fresh not only for my customers but also for myself. It gets boring mass producing any product and that’s not where I’m at. I’m the only employee of my company—do everything from traveling overseas to fetch the fabric, designing the products (my own patterns), photographing, editing and then listing on my web store."
From her site:
Know a coupon clipper--a school script buyer? This organizer / holder / wallet / keeper will help to keep their coupons and/or script all in one pretty place and ready for the grocery store. Not a coupon shopper or script user? This handy wallet can be utilized without the divider tabs to keep up to 6 pre-computer age accordion-folded street maps in tidy order inside the glove compartment of your car. It also can hold letter sized paper payroll checks without folding. Made of 100% pre-quilted cotton imported from Japan (front measures 9 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches high with ½ inch bottom miter. Secure Velcro flap closure. 8 tabbed dividers included). The backside (interior) of the pre-quilted fabric, in most cases, is made of muslin which is off-white in color—but some fabrics will come backed in a dark solid color or a subtle print. Spot clean only.
REVIEW:
I love my organizer. Much more so because I know it is handmade. It fits perfectly into my purse, and the dividers help to keep my coupons organized. And it's wide enough to keep those longer, larger sized coupons without having to fold them.
Another thing that I really like is that I have enough room in the holder to fold up a couple of fliers and carry them in the holder when I go shopping.
If you don't want to use it as a coupon organizer, you can use it for many other things. Like holding your chequebook and your money. You could even use it for your make-up.
What impresses me is that she is a one-woman show. Everything is handmade by her and her only.
I also love the fact that the fabric for her products on Japanesque Accents is brought in by her directly from Japan.
Melissa also has another store on Etsy called Mrs. Stitches Designs where she also offers coupon organizers and other handmade items.
