So far the only sign of spring here in Wisconsin is that the sunlight is strong enough to melt some snow even when the air temperature is still below freezing. But it's time for a giveaway!!!
You have a chance to win one of the 2 prize packages pictured, by leaving one comment on this post. Make sure that there's a way for me to contact you if you win, either a blog ID or an email address.
I'll draw 2 names at random on Tuesday, March 10. Each prize package will include 2 tatting pattern books written by me, 4 skeins of hand dyed thread size 20, 2 skeins of hand dyed thread size 80, and an original tatted bracelet handmade by me.
Readers of this blog from outside the U.S. are welcome to enter this giveaway too; the package will be marked "gift".
I love your HDT such beautiful colors. So generous of you, some lucky persons will be very happy. Number 1 never seems to win but maybe I'll get lucky! drewrd at optonline dot net.

ReplyDeleteHow fun! Here in Boston, we are still under several feet of snow and dealing with ice dams, leaky roofs, and transportation nightmares. A tatting giveaway is just what the doctor ordered! You should be able to reach me through my Google/Blogger ID, but if not, I'll gladly provide an email address.

ReplyDeleteWe lived in South Dakota for a few years. I loved the snow, but felt spring fever terribly when everything started to bloom in the south. A quick trip to smell the flowers and absorb the green usually fixed me up fine for the rest of the thaw.
What a great way to celebrate spring. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway. I will be so thrilled to win one of those wonderful packages, as I keep admiring your thread on yours and others tatting blogs.

ReplyDeleteI live in a community a little ways out from Seattle, so I get to enjoy Seattle weather, which has been so nice for the last few days that Spring is definitely weighing on me.
This is a first for me to catch one of your giveaways while I can still enter. Thank you so much for stirring the tatting fires up.
Great giveaway. Thanks for a chance to win!
