Mini-Giveaway
And Another Giveaway
Craftsy (yes, them again!) is giving away a mega mystery box of crafting goodies. The prize includes a class, plus supplies based on your crafting interests. Sounds like something I want to win for myself. Maybe I shouldn’t even be telling you about this so my chances will be better. … kitty’s already out of the box, horse out of the barn… just go enter so I can shut my trap!
I’m so glad you took this trip with us. It was out of this world, but I’m dying from the jetlag now, though. (Or was it the pixie dust I swallowed in-flight?) Whatever has me so knackered, this old girl is signing off to go have a little afternoon nap.
See you soon!
