Starting Wednesday December 7th

I'll be entering every blog comment into a drawing for my excellent giveaway (one comment per day please, but comment as many days as you like).

Why? Well it started out when I made a Facebook comment that I had a lot of 'stuff' and I thought a giveaway was in order....and grew from there into a bloghop where a few of my friends were also feeling like sharing the love. A bit of a studio de stash you might say.

Here are list of blog folks who are participating

Beverly Gilbert http://beverlygilbert.blogspot.com/
Val Hebert http://valsartstudio.blogspot.com/
Jeannette Cook http://beadyeyedwomen.blogspot.com/
Carol Dean Sharp http://sandfibers.blogspot.com/
Marcia DeCoster http://www.maddesignsbeads.blogspot.com
Cynthia Deis http://shinylittlethings.blogspot.com/
Lori Anderson http://www.prettythingsblog.com/

We'll be doing this for one week. Each blogger will have their own set of rules for entering to win, so give them a visit to see how to play.

Winners will be picked on December 14th and notified on the 15th.

I will be filling up one small priority box with goodies.

I started with this lovely selection



and I'll be adding goodies every day.....seems I am in a pink mood, a little Heather glass with some pink metallic cord



The bloghop on the sidebar will bring you back to this list of names....so click it often and go have a visit!
