There is nothing like new craft supplies to get the creative juices flowing. The very nice Whitney sent me her Whisker Graphics Twine to use and to share some yardage with you!
Aren't the colors great! Who ever heard of lime or orange twine? And the aqua is delicious.
I only got a tiny taste of her new colors, and I am particularly enamoured with the cotton candy at the far right.
So, I get to give away some twine! Two lucky commenters will be receiving twine from me!
But that is not all, the winners will also receive one homemade heart ornamanent each.
As I mentioned earlier, new crafting supplies really can inspire! I made these hearts, with various twines to hang with, including Whisker Graphics.
I had a ball making them.
I used fabric scraps, snippets of ribbon, copious embroidery stitches (french knots, bullion stiches and daisy chains), surrouned it with crocheted lace, and topped them off with colorful twine or perle floss.
There are multiple of ways you may enter my give away. Each one counts as 1 entry (so the more you do the more chances you have to win).

If you do 2,3, or 4 please make a separate comment on this post for each letting me know what you have done so as the comments are your entries. So if you do all four you need to leave 4 comments.
So, please help me spread the word?
Giveaway ends this Sunday, June 20th at midnight and there will be two winners which I will announce soon after!
EXTRA!!! The next 5 buyers in my Etsy shop will each receive one free heart ornament along with their order.
ooo... pick me!
