Snow and Giveaway

Good Morning Crafters! - As some of you know, I live in the Winter, Wonder, Waterland: the State of Michigan - yesterday we had flooded streets - [wish I would have taken a picture] and this morning we have SNOW! 

Yes, April 20, 2013 and we have some snow - not enough to build a snowman - but snow - and here is the picture hubby sent to me so I could show you the snow on our front lawn.

NOW for the Give-away - it is NOT my give-away - but rather Melissa Sunshine Honeybee's give away.  Here is her posting today - April 20, 2013 - isn't this tag lovely? Keep reading...

You could win this lovely bicycle stamp shown below- and I have this stamp and it truly is a lovely stamp!!  Melissa gifted me this stamp this year [thank you very much Melissa] - it was a total surprise to receive this beautiful stamp in the mail and all the way from Texas to Michigan.

 CLICK Here to go to her blog and read how you could be a winner - easy peasy lemon squeezy!  

Contest ends Friday, April 26 CT
