May SMS Giveaway!


COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED!

Ok so I'm a day late BUT I'm still in if you're in!

I have decided to make a Kristen Doran Sling Bag for the Sew Mama Sew May Giveaway.
The trick is that I haven't decided on the material to be used yet and it probably won't be posted until end of next week.

All you need to do is leave a comment by the 1st June 2009 (My Birthday!) and I will draw out a winner that evening EST. If you'd like, let me know what kind of colours you might prefer such as cool colours, warm colours or if you're not fussy and would like to be surprised!

Good luck!!! International people are welcome.

From the Yummy Mummy! Haa haaaa.
