I know you all want to know who the winner of my “stash” is.

First of all, I want to thank every one who entered and also blogged about the Giveaway. This was by far my most popular one, to date! And so many of you had such noble reasons for wanting to win this Booty. I wish I could have given it to all of you!

After entering all of the entries into the Random Number Generator, the winner of all of this yarnaliciousness is ……..

I know you must absolutely hate to have to give away part of your stash. Your stash is almost like an appendage–or at least, mine is!

I would love to win, and I would treat your stash as my own. As for what I would do with it… Well, I’d do what I do with most all my yarn. I’d pet it regularly until it tells me what it wants to be. LOL

You don’t know how hard these past 2 months have been on me.
I’ve had some exciting news to share that I had to keep to myself until today!!

Back in June, a Fashion Editor for a teen magazine notified me to ask if they could feature a pair of my earrings in one of their upcoming magazines.

After, regaining consciousness and picking myself up from off of the floor, I emailed her back and said, “Uh yeah, duh!”.
Okay, I didn’t use those exact words. But I’m sure she could sense my delirium in my email.

I am a horrible, bundle of nerves! I have a gigantic fear that either no one will be interested enough to buy my earrings or on the Polar opposite side of the spectrum, hundreds of teenage girls will be stuffing my email inbox full of requests for a pair.

Either way, I am nervous. As hell. Ooh! Excuse me. I get like this when I’m nervous. And when I’m about to ralph all over the place!

If you make it to a Hastings or Comic Book store or Newstand, check out the issue. And see if it makes you as feverish and nauseous as me.

As for myself, I’m off to make up another 30 pairs of these earrings and enjoy an afternoon Pepto-bismol Cocktail.

Belch.
