CONTEST WEEK!



In honor of Mother's Day, I'm holding a contest! The prize is a beaded glass book thong (bookmark) made personally by me just for you.


What you must post here is a list.


Pick one of these:
The Top Five Things I'd Like to Get for Mother's Day

or
The Top Five Things I Wish I Could Give My Mom for Mother's Day

or
The Top Five Worst Gifts You Could Give Me For Mother's Day

:::click to enlarge photo:::

And -- don't forget to leave your list lying around where someone can see it!
And -- I think I might have to include a book with that bookmark!
And -- I'll probably draw more than one name ... oh for sure, more than one.

Also let me know which one you would prefer to win, the green one, the blue one or the purple one.

Get started on your list!
