<p>Hello (again). I&#8217;m going to cut right to the chase: I&#8217;m giving away one box of SURPRISE CRAFT SUPPLIES. I will be moving soon so I am clearing out everything I don&#8217;t plan to use in the near future. Expect to find fabric scraps, notions of all kinds, ribbons and lace, maybe even some acrylic paint. </p>
<p><a href="http://merricontrari.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/wpid-20130506_1127331.jpg"><img title="20130506_112733.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" alt="image" src="http://merricontrari.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/wpid-20130506_1127331.jpg?w=535" /></a></p>
<p>This photo shows a small selection of the items I have pulled out. </p>
<p>To enter all you need to do is leave a comment. Any comment.<br />
For an extra entry, like my <a href="http://facebook.com/merricontrari">Facebook page</a> and then leave a second comment telling me you did.<br />
Comments on the previous post will also count toward this giveaway. </p>
<p>(I apologize if you have been here twice&#8230; something is broken. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m going to stop even attempting to pretend that I&#8217;ll be able to do this weekly. Not sure how I ever found the time. I&#8217;m nowhere near caught up on Reader, but I&#8217;ve been keeping at it. I&#8217;m down by about 70 subscriptions from last time, at 501.<br />
These appear in reverse order from the date I starred them (most recent star first), so they may be clumpy or in weird chronological order. No ranking of quality is intended (everything here is awesome!).<br />
Now let&#8217;s get to the goodies! Normally I include recipes and news articles and the like, but I&#8217;ve been working on my backlog of crafty blogs and there&#8217;s so many good things that that&#8217;s all I included. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
