Thank you so much for your kind wo...Wow, MaryAnn!!! Thank you so much for your kind words and inspiration!! You are so right about the crafting community being so supportive. At first I tried to spread the word within the crafting community simply by telling the ladies in my design teams and creating a post about it on Instagram. I gained several votes this way, but I was worried that it wouldn't be enough. After all, 19 other people are working towards the same goal as me. I wish we all could win it honestly, and it saddens me that it can only be awarded to one person. I have shared it within each of my family members' social networks. <br />My husband gave me the great idea to do a giveaway, so that is what I did! Naturally it has helped me gain votes thus far because people have an incentive to vote now. Of course, because the crafting community is so sweet I know they would have voted anyways, but I don't know too many crafters. So, the giveaway also helps me spread the word and reach people who would have otherwise never know about it.<br />Your comments and blog post put a big smile on my face!! It seriously just makes me feel so chuffed that you took the time to do that!!! I really love your creations to boot! I am totally following from now on! 11 more days until the contest closes. Eek! I am excited but also nervous! I hope you have a great night and a fabulous day tomorrow. You are brilliant!!<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Stephanie WillsStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229395537215304977noreply@blogger.com
