It's Almost My Blogoversary! Let's Have a Contest

First things first:

Wow, apparently I've been blogging since 2009! Who knew I had so much stuff to say? Tomorrow is the big day and I've decided to have a contest. I may just have stolen this particular idea from a certain member - Teal - of 123 stitch message board. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all ;-) Anyway, it's a contest that keeps on giving - all year long in fact. The idea is that the grand prize winner gets not just one prize, but 12! One for every month of the year, sent at the end of each month. I am feeling so full of unwanted stash generous, that I will throw in 12 minor prizes, a prize for a different person every month. Don't get too excited, the prizes won't be all that grand, just a little stitchy something. If you don't like it - after all we all have very different tastes, mine more "different" than normal it seems - I'm happy for you to sell it, give it away, or trade it for something you will use. OK, on to the rules:
** You must be a follower of my blog to enter.
** You must leave a comment on any of my posts in a particular month to be eligible for a minor prize at the end of that month. The grand prize winner will need to have left a comment in January as the winner will be chosen on the first of Feb.
** I must be able to contact you in some way if you're the winner, so please make sure I can do so through your own blog or else leave your email address in the comments section.
** The grand prize winner will be excluded from the minor prize draw each month.
** Once you have won a minor prize, you will be ineligible to win another. It spreads out the fun and prizes that way.
** That's it!
Happy 4th blogoversary!
