Divasdeste transparencies!

Here, I made something for you

Altered peggy!

The first three-count-em-three-3 people that respond to this post will get something made by me, it will be my choice, but made especially for you!However, this offer does have some restrictions and limitations (known at the 'fine print.")***What I create will be just for you.***You will receive this item before the end of the year, or sooner.***You will have no idea what the item is going to be or when you will receive it.***The catch is that you have to respost this memo and put something together to be sent out as 3 surprises of your own!What a fun way to share our work and get to see others up close and personal!

I took this post from tristan's blog! It sounded like fun!

I am posting this for tuesday on monday because I will be unavailable tomrrow(tue). Why? I am having book club here on wednesday and I suggested the book "The Last Chinese Chef"! I started the book 3 weeks ago and it is really good! But "art" got in my way and I haven't finished it! Since I lead the discussion, it would probably be a good idea if I read the book! We are having chinese food to go along with the discussion!
So tomorrow I will spend reading like crazy!
See you all wednesday morning with the next addition to the giveaway. You only need to comment ONCE to be eligible for any of the items! Thanks for stopping by!
