Thank you CraftZine, Potter Craft, Janome, and Duncan!

In the book there is a picture of my first sewing machine that I covered in buttons, it is currently on display in the Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ.

For the projects in the book, I used a Janome Memory Craft 11000. Sweetness!

For this contest, Janome sent me a Threadbanger TravelMate to trick out exclusively for this contest!

I had so much fun decorating it! It is brand-new and fully functional. None of the decorations will get in the way of creating your projects! I used permanent Crafty Chica paints, sealed. The buttons permanently secured with Liquid Fusion adhesive. It also has Crafty Chica sacred heart and rose/scissor tattoos all over it, plus gems and polka dots on top. There is a message in Spanish on the handle, dedicated to sewing :-)

P.S. There is a little bit of brush on gliter, it is sealed too...

Good luck!!!

On a Mac, hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the link, select "Copy Email Address." You can paste the email adress in the email programme of your choice ... no pesky mail programme will launch.

On a PC, I suspect that you right-click and copy address but perhaps someone will post definatively.

I would love to join, but I am having the same problem. I don't have a direct connection to my email, so the link doesn't work. Other options? :)

Thanks!

Ooooh, but clicking the link launches a mail program in my computer that I don't use

:(

Is the link to enter correct? Should we just send a blank email?
