Pattern Giveaway!

EeeGads! Didn't I just have a birthday? Surely it hasn't been a whole year?
I think this year I'll celebrate the Big Day (the 20th of this month) by having a Giveaway on my blog. This will be my first attempt at such, so I'll have to make my own rules.




Hmmm. Let's say that everyone who wants a chance to win my Hazel the Witch pin doll (or ornie) pattern will leave a comment here. I'll pull three names from all the comments to this post (one comment per person, please), contact the winners for their mailing addresses (please make sure I can find your name or email or blog or something), and send you a Hazel pattern.
The 20th is on Friday, and since I have to work that day (and the next), the drawing will be held at 9 p.m. Pacific Time. That way my old bones can get to bed early.
Hazel is one of my very first patterns. For those that make little dolls, you'll know it takes nearly as long to make one of these as it does a big doll. Have fun with that.

    I wasn't going to leave a comment but I can't resist. . .
    My name is Hazel (I usually tell people to remember me by remembering the hazel nut).
    Very few comment on Witch Hazel ?
    My birthday is also on the 20 th.
    But not Feb. but April.
    Maybe I should design a doll Hazel nut ? ?

    I have read your blog page many times ,have so enjoyed seeing your doll art and admiring your talent. Your kindness of having a giveaway is very nice gesture, celebrating your birthday in a very special way. I was just thinking about getting some new patterns to chase away the winter blues, maybe Hazel will travel to me!
    May I wish you a very happy birthday!

Log into blogger on your dashboard page, click where it says "edit profile" on the left side of the page. Then check "SHOW EMAIL ADDRESS" in the 3rd line down, and at the bottom of the page click SAVE CHANGES!
