Giveaway!

Hi from South Australia!




 About me:  I am a wife and mother who has loved to sew since about 10 years old.  I use to only sew clothes but recently because of all you crafty bloggers I have fallen in love sewing other things like softies, homewares, hats, bags etc.  I have only recently started blogging about my crafty adventures but it has blown me away with how friendly the world can be.

If you have read my introduction post at the beginning of my blogging life, you would have read how I blog to thank all the craft and sewing blogs out there who have inspired me "sooooo" much and taught me all manner of new skills.

Well, I would like to giveaway some of my spare copies of craft magazines I have collected over the years.  I will pay all postage costs as well so I will have to limit this first giveaway to "2" overseas winners who will have to pay any associated costs accrued their end, eg: customs if any.  The rest of the winners will be chosen from Australia, but only because of costs.  I'm sure you are all an understanding bunch of nice readers.

Most of my craft mags are Australian so I am hoping some of you guys don't already have them!!



 
Sorry about the poor quality pictures.  I either have a dud camera or am a dud photographer.


Get an early start on xmas! lol


For quilting fans.  I have 3 copies to giveaway.

If you know of anyone who likes cross stitch, pass this giveaway on!

Assorted projects.

The puppy dog softie is one of my UFO's. Maybe we can do it together!

All you have to do for this giveaway is leave a comment.  Also please state which mag you want eg: A, B, C, D, E, F.  (Top photo has letters photo-shopped on the front).

Also, leave a way for me to contact you regarding addressing info.

Names will go into a hat and first winner will have first pick etc.

Giveaway closing 15th February 2010.  Good luck.

Yours truly,

Kylie
