Well, I looked out the window of my home here in cold Wisconsin this morning, and saw that it was snowing again. I decided to cheer myself and others up by having a giveaway! I realize that to folks living in warmer climates or "down under" the equator, snow at this time may be something to enviously covet - but I can't pack and ship snow, LOL ;-)
So, the giveaway will include hand dyed thread, plus a random bead assortment! Please leave one comment on this post to be entered in the giveaway. Three winners will be chosen at random on Friday, February 25.
Readers of this blog from outside of the U.S. are welcome to enter this giveaway. The package will be marked "gift".

I would try and send spring your way, but it hasn't made it here yet either. Yesterday we shoveled about 2 feet of snow out of the drive(and my husband said spring was here cuz' he saw a robin-I told him he was too early). :)
ooh such pretty thread! Nothing like some cheery colors to help look forward to Spring.
No snow in England just rain and more rain!

We don't have snow but we've gone from 70s last week to only 30s and windy - a wonderful taste of spring to be taken away, how sad. But it is only February, what else can we expect? Whoever wins will get to enjoy a little spring inside with their prize no matter the weather outside.
OMG....I love your HDT's. These colors are just fantastic. Please include me in your drawing.

My little number may be near the bottom, but I'm hoping that it turns up TOPS and is one of the BIG 3 winners.
Your wonderful threads are so irresistable. And since the IRS check hasn't arrived yet, a giveaway prize is the only way I can enjoy them (for now...)
Thank you for hosting this early Spring treat!
I'm late to the party, but would love a shot at more of your lovely thread. A generous spring impulse indeed!
How generous of you! As a fellow winter wonderland Wisconsinite, I understand your desire to chase away the gloomy winter blahs. What a great way to do it!
I'm definitely ready for spring!
Would it be rude of me to enter this giveaway? I really do love your thread, and I can never have enough pretty beads! Hope you get spring soon :)
great idea to do a give away to cheer yourself and others up this cold cold winter.....even in the south (NC) where I live it has been the coldest winter I can remember.
Wow, 185 wonderful, inspiring, heart-warming comments! I've enjoyed reading them so much! Thank you, everyone. I will close commenting on this post now, and use a random number generator to choose 3 winners.
