    Just wanna let u know that i enjoyed this contest very much. even if i dont win, i have won lots of compliments and traffic to my blog. it would be awesome if we have different contests once in a while, even if it's not for prizes, at least it would encourage me to sew more and be creative. Thank you again Arrow Cabinets for hosting this contest. PS: Rebecca has been great in keeping me up to date and helping with this blog hop event. :)

    I have been trying to post for a few days now, but my comments are not showing up. I visited all of the blogs and left comments on each. It was fun seeing the "competition" through the slide show and the blogs. I especially liked the varied backgrounds in the pictures for the pincushions, the cactus was my favorite!
