To celebrate the big day and in appreciation of all the wonderful bloggers who visit my blog, I’m GIVING a gift. A grab bag of sorts, or should I say grab box?! From now until March 29 I am going to be filling a shipping box full of super cool stuff. A thing or two from my Etsy store, lots of unique crafting supplies, vintage goodies, just lots of neat and fun things. No junk! So if you’re the crafty type, you’re going to LOVE this gift!
To enter, simply FOLLOW my blog (Twitter too if you'd like, but this giveaway is for blog following.) The follower section is in right-hand column. If you already follow- THANKS! -skip that step. Then, leave a comment that you did or you already do. BE SURE I CAN FIND YOUR CONTACT INFO on your blog or leave it in your comment! That’s it!
Entry Deadline: March 27, 2009
On March 29 I will announce the winner, post a photo of all the goodies in the box, and ship the birthday fun right out!
UPDATE: The winner, Katie of Katie’s Nesting Spot, was so kind as to post her winnings- CLICK HERE!
