Giveaway For Two Copies of Made To Play!

Now that my book is out, I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. I signed two copies, so I’ll randomly pick two winners.

If you want to be entered to win, then simply leave a comment on this post. On Friday morning (October 28) I will randomly pick the winner from all those who have left a comment. I will ship world-wide so anyone can enter if they’d like!

UPDATE: THE CONTEST IS FINISHED. YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS HERE. THANKS!

    How exciting! I've been reading your blog for awhile and ADORE the projects you post. I'm not the crafty one, but I showed the site to my mom a couple of weeks and she's already going crazy trying to duplicate some of your creations. So exciting to have so many of them in a book as well. Hope I win! Thanks so much!

    I'm not usually lucky but I discovered your website by luck. And cannot wait to see new features every time. My kids love what I make for them, when I try your ideas. My son thinks mummy is giving presents all the time by making all these homemade games and toys. Maybe I'll get lucky again and win your book. But I will still look for the next new things you'll come up with.
