So, I am doing a blog giveaway…I don’t know…it seemed like fun…all the cool kids were doing it.
If you would like an embroidered portrait of yourself (by me), then here is your chance. Just leave a comment through July 15th and I will choose a winner at random.
I will announce the winner on July 16th.
These portraits can take over a month so you will have to allow me a bit of time after I receive your photo. I do ask that the winner have a fairly clear and close photo of themselves (or just about anyone, I guess, it’s your prize) from the shoulders up to send.
You can also enter by liking the CPWF page on Facebook.
