so, a while back i had a "name that kit" contest. (for the kit now known as Shabby Sheets) well, i had mentioned that there were sooo many fab enteries, and if i picked a name to use for a different kit at a later date, that person would get the kit for free!! well! my new kit is named Phresh & Phunky submitted by Angela!! so Angela -- youve got a free kit in your mail box this morning!! :D and i still have tons of great names to use up!! so keep an eye on your mailboxes (or messages on your blog) about getting a kit for free!! :D
