Giveaway!

February 10, 2008

I think giveaways are great. So now I'm having one :) This is a lot nicer giveaway than what the following pictures let you assume. It's so foggy in here that I can't even see the church tower right near our house. I thought something was missing from the view when I opened the curtains... (I'll try and take better photos tomorrow, that is if it isn't foggy anymore.)


I spent my Friday evening making gocco printed mini cards. (These are half the size of a postcard.) It was my reward after working hard with the competition book. Then I goccoed, and goccoed. And I then goccoed myself in the corner of our living room. At least I got a good laugh out of it.

Details of the kraft cards (these were the only ones that had the pictures about right in the photos):



And the giveaway part of this post! Leave a comment to this blog post by the end of Wednesday (whatever timezone, I'll write down all names on Thursday morning) and you have a chance to get a set of eight gocco printed minicards with envelopes, 2 brown kraft, 2 off white, 2 gray and 2 white handmade paper ones. I'll be giving away two (2) sets to randomly chosen people.

I had trouble deciding how many sets to give away, but as I'm trying to step out of my little box every once in a while, I chose two. Although 1 and 3 are better in all ways. Two is too much of an in between number. But two sets it is!

Don't forget to leave a comment!
