Monday Giveaway

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I thought it might be nice to start the week off with a giveaway!
You may have seen this book around the blogs you read, and thought it looked pretty good. Well I can tell you I think it is great. Little Things for Busy hands by Kate Evans (click the link to see inside the book) is great because it's craft without the sewing machine. Lots of great projects that you can do at home,  a lot with supplies you already have, that is what it great about it.

The instructions are easy to read and understand and there are so many really simple and pretty things to make with fabric and glue and paper and string. This book would also be great for ideas for a preschool or for a child's party.

If you would like to win one of 3 copies I have to giveaway please leave a comment below.
Entries close Friday 2nd September 2011, winners will be notified by email so make sure I can track you down easily. Australia only- sorry!
Good Luck!

    ooh I'd love to win this! My daughter didn't get into kinder for next year (too many people) so I'll be 'home-kindering' her and a book like this would be really helpful for more ideas!

    Oh yes please! Buddy Jim's tolerance for craft is limited to cutting up catalogues and stamping, maybe there'll be something in here he'd like?!

    oh, i feel like a bit of an imposter. Having already won a book from your blog, Cath, I feel unqualified to enter, so I'm happy for you to 'count me out'. I actually just came over to say hello, as I seem to have come back from blogosphere death! I have been thinking about you lately, for these 3 reasons:
    1 - I actually MET the young lad that made your app --- I know, amazing!!
    2 - I saw one of your cushions in the window of EcoNook as I was walking past last week.
    3 - We have pigeons in our backyard.

    I'm glad you extended the deadline for this. I had decided not to enter because my daughter is really not into craft (where did I go wrong?) But then when I saw it again I thought how much my niece would love it. So here I am entering. Thanks!
