The Twelve MONTHS of Christmas Giveaways!

My New Year's resolution this year is NOT my usual lose weight one.  I can never keep that one, but maybe, with your help, I can keep this new one for 2012!

Ready???  Here it is...I WILL NOT  PROCRASTINATE  when it comes to restocking my website, http://www.wood-n-stitches.com/.  (Okay, Sandy, you can stop laughing!!!!)  However, as my grandson says, "Here's the deal....".  I would like to come up with at least one NEW project a month in 2012.  Since I regularly suffer from painter's block, that's where you come in...

Through the years, my customers, strangers,  friends and family have come up with some of the best ideas.



Example:  My sister's neighbor gave me the glass holders that her husband's cigars came in and asked if I could make something with them.  Not only did I make this snowman, but also a Santa.

That inspired me to "pay it forward" and offer some rewards for doing just that.   I plan to hold a CONTEST/GIVEAWAY each month  that I receive new useable suggestions.  Here are the ways you can enter:

1)   Be a follower of my blog  and make a comment on this post.

2)  Suggest a flea market, antique store, garage sale  find or some other trash heap bound item made of metal or wood that I might turn into a Santa, snowman, or gingerbread man.    (It needs to be something that I have not previously done. Most of these can be found on my website.)  Get another entry.

3)  If  I can locate the item you suggest and use it to create an original design , you get another entry in the drawing.

4)  If you have previously bought one of my creations ONLINE mention it in your comment, and get another entry.

Drawings will be at the end of each month.  Your name is only removed once you win a prize.  You may make additional suggeestion throughout the year to earn additional enteries.

Come on everyone...put on your thinking caps!!!
