Christmas in July- A contest to win a doll

The Arts and Design Channel of b5 is having an artist’s showcase this month, and the theme is:
Christmas in July…… and Tammy is hosting. I’ll link to the special post on her site once it’s up.
I thought about Christmas in July, and decided that giving an early Christmas present would be a very good idea.
So, I decided I would offer a contest for people to win themselves a Christmas in July Doll….
Here she is:
The Button-Joint Fairy Doll from my book: Creative Crocheted Dolls, published by Krause Books.
The rules?
I will draw the winning entry on July 31, 2007.
1: The winner of the doll will pay postage to have her shipped to them. I punched in some sample locations to the Canada Post website and discovered that she’ll probably cost about $10 for postage. If you are willing to pay the postage, then feel free to enter the contest. (paypal)
2: How to enter? Leave a comment on this entry, with your email addy and name (your email addy is never posted).
3: Can you enter more than once? Of course. Every time you enter, I’ll put your name on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl. I’ll have a friend or relation pull the winning entry out of the bowl on July 31, 2007 at 12 pm Mountain time, and I’ll get in touch with you by email (and post the winner’s name) on this blog. 
Good luck!
and hugs all round

My daughter is crazy about fairies. So, I am entering the contest to win this doll.

A terrific idea! My family is actually going to have Christmas in August this year…military family member will be home at that time, and then back east – far east, well, in the middle, in December.
Your fairy is just fabulous! I really love her. All of your dolls are so creative. Having one would just make my day!
She is beautiful. Someone will love this for Christmas. Your very gracious.

You have a great blog Noreen and I love your dolls. Whoever wins her will be one lucky person.
Noreen,
the dolls are wonderful, you are so talented.
I know of a perfect glass case to put the doll in, same kind of cases used for Japanese dolls.
Set on top of an oak bookcase. Or inside the glass portion of bookcase. Hmmm.
Anyway, you do nice work, wish I could make dolls like that.
thanks for the chance to win this doll
also congrat to your daugher
She is too cute! I gotta have her..pick me pick me..LOL
What a lovely contest—the drawing to be held on my husband’s and my 34th wedding anniversary. What a wonderful day!
I just love ALL your dolls! Pick me, pick me!
It was wonderful to see you at Chain Link.
Hugs,
Andrea
Thanks for sharng your talents. The dollas
are very pretty.
I’ve been collecting different types of dolls for many years..She would look beautiful on my shelf..I just love this doll!
Alright, nosing back in again, one more opportunity to get my name dropped into that bowl, lol.
I don’t collect dolls, but this one is so special I might have to make her my first in the start of one. Provided you draw me out of that bowl, hat, box or whatever you’re drawing from.
I know this will be a luck of the draw….well I’ve never had luck, so here I am again! Thanks,
Katie
An angel from Noreenie coming to Australia would be such a blessing.
