OOPS! Here it is the 7th…

I forgot the contest! We had 67 comments, and 12 posts from last month, and that is an average of 5.5 comments per post. We have risen from an average of 4.7 comments per post, with 10 posts and 47 comments last month. So I have posted more, and you have commented more, and everybody is doing better right?

But you’re more interested in who wins a prize eh? Well it just so happens that comment 35 is the winner:

Em |

Very nice prize! That orifice hook/ply checking tool is really neat!!

No, it didn’t win because it complimented the orifice hook lol. I just figure out how many comments there were, and randomly chose a number between one and the number of comments for the month. Dominic supplied the number 35 this time.

So, Em, send me an email with your name, address and all that jazz, plus a wish list, or whatever you need/want, and we’ll get your prize made up. Bear in mind we can’t give you a new drum carder lol, but you are more than welcome to try!

Congratulations, and I will be trying to post more guys, but with morning sickness, and Issue 4 breathing down my neck, plus Dr office visits and all that, I’m busy as usual. I do think maybe the sheep are done breeding, only one left. One less thing.

I joined this fun project/movement

Have you seen the movie Pay it forward? Haley Joel Osment’s character comes up with a simple idea to change the world. Give three good deeds, the person who receives it must pay it forward. An easy thing but so difficult. Somebody has taken this idea and turned it into presents. It’s fun to give gifts. I read about it in \ I tracked it back about 15 blogs (note: I didn’t actually do this lol, your supposed to paste this text in though :P ) and it is interesting to watch how it’s spreading. You can be a part of this if you promise to:

“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week… but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”
You can be a part of this, just leave a comment here. You can mail me your adress.

The idea is that I will send out 3 handmade gifts, to the first three commenter. BUT if you choose to accept the gift, then you will need to send out three gifts on your blog… So you get a gift, but you also have to send some out, so it’s sort of like a swap or something. Anyway, I thought it was really cool, so I joined it, and now I have three small gifts for the first three comments. (If you don’t wish to join, you may still comment, just indicate in your comment to exclude you from the Pay It Forward Contest.

    That is one seriously awesome idea. I saw a friend of mine doing that and I thought she was just made of win, its cool to know that others are doing it.

    I just found your blog/site tonight and I’m looking forward to learning all kinds things here. I took a break from spinning and I’m just taking it up again. Now I’m in that anxious “can’t wait for my wheel to get here” stage.
