**ETA** - we'll pick a winner tonight so you can add your name to the list through 8:00 p.m. PST. ***
Last February I attended the Craft Hobby & Stitch show in Birmingham, England. One of the highlights of the show for me was to meet Anna Davenport, publisher of three Card-making magazines at Origin Publishing.
I am lucky enough to receive these publications by Royal Post (I get a kick out of that!) each month. My mom and I have both read the most recent issues and would like to share these magazines with one lucky blog reader.
If you would like to win these three gorgeous magazines, just post a quick comment here and we'll draw for a winner on Monday. Have a great weekend!
What fun to see what's popular in the U.K.....thanks for the chance!

How much fun!
I went to my LSS during my lunch today. Of course I had to pick up at least one A Muse item: the "you make life sweet" stamp.
What a great company you have! Keep up the great work!
