october freebie day

The great part of having a blog is being able to share what I do in my crafty world every day...but I've been keeping a secret...well, 3 secrets really!
Perhaps I'll let the pictures do the talking?





yep!
I've been secretly beavering away and have produced 3 new make-your-own kits :: and 3 lucky people will be able to win one!
I have made one of each kit to give-away and the kit you receive will be one of either, happy tree, reindeer or penguin.
RULES ::
To enter the freebie all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.
One comment per person please
It is vital that I can contact you through your comment
I will post worldwide so everyone can enter, wherever they are
Freebie will close on Sunday 4th October and the winners will be announced on this blog shortly after
...and that's it!
easy-peasy really :-)

(If you want to see more pictures they are all here :: new kits)

    they are so seriously cute! Reindeer is great for christmas and so is the penguin. I can visualise the happy trees at each child's place as a take home at a birthday party! So colorful and cheerful. You have such great ideas. Yvonne.
