Giveaway!!

I'm here, I've just been busy stitching a model for Lisa (The Primitive Needle). It's so cool - I can't wait for you all to see it!

Anyway, on to the giveaway. You know those annoying ads I put on my site a couple years ago?? Well, I have finally received a payment! It's not much, but I wanted to share some of it with you because you helped me get it. I will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to Down Sunshine Lane (my favorite online shop). I will draw a name on Monday, May 3 at 8:00 am EST. That should give everyone plenty of time to enter!

Leave a comment on this post to enter (one entry per person). Thanks and Good Luck!! :)
