Today marks the lst year anniversary of my blog. Coincidentally, over night the number of WMN Facebook fans topped 700! This sounds like the perfect time to celebrate with a give-away!I'll randomly choose 1 winner for every 50 comments, with a maximum of 6 winners. The give-away winner(s) can choose any 2 of my retail designsTo be eligible for the give-away:
1--Leave a comment for today's blog post.
2--Leave only one comment.
3--Make sure there is a way for me to contact you should you be one of the winners. If you have a blog, I should be able to get your contact information there. If not, either post your email address with your comment or check for your name once I announce the winners on Thursday, May 20th.
4--After I announce the give-away winners, you will have 72 hours to claim your prize. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'll choose another name.
It has been so much hearing from so many of you either through the blog or through Facebook.
Good luck, and thank you very much for your continued support and enthusiasm for my designs!!
