And the winner is.....

OK, so we drew a name tonight. I didn't find that one name that clutched me, so I dropped 8 names into a cup & had my almost 4 year old draw a name. So I need the following person to email me their name & address at stonythorn at yahoo dot com....... JOHN!!!!! THANKS to everyone that submitted names. There were some really great names, but none that gripped me.

A contest/give-away! Yes, right here!

Please scroll down for new posts. This will be stickied until 1/5/08. I'm about to embark on a crafty adventure. I've been making some aprons (seen below) to sell. I will be doing some other crafty items as well. Right now I'm calling it "Denim-n-Things." I'm not sure that I love the name, though, so I'm asking you, my sweet readers to help me come up with a name. Here is a snippet on my craft blog to give you an idea of what I'm planning on doing: In this blog you'll find some handcrafted items. Some made with new items, some things made with recycled wares. As I find them, I'll also offer new & used un-crafted items. You can enter by leaving a comment with UP TO 3 names for a craft business. If I choose (one of) yours, I will send an apron similar to this one: I'll leave this post up for a couple of weeks, in hopes of finding that perfect name. I hope to have one by January 5th, 2008. I will (hopefully) select a name on that date ...
