Thank you to all who subscribed to my mailing list during April. I hope to have an email coming out to all of you soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

For those who weren’t aware, during the month of April I ran a competition for all subscribers to my mailing list to win a US$50 voucher to spend in my handmade jewelry shop.

So today I set myself the task of drawing a winner. This meant undertaking the complex process of printing out the list without looking at it, cutting it up into a few sections (still not looking!), shutting my eyes while I shuffled them around with them facing downwards on a table … and finally turning one of the pieces over and - with my eyes still firmly shut - pointing a fingertip onto the winner.

And I’m pleased to announce that my fingertip landed on Hayley - the lucky winner! Congratulations.

Thanks to everyone who entered. I plan to run similar competitions in future, so keep your eyes peeled for that too!

Sign up to my mailing list in the month of April and you’ll be in the running to win a US$50 voucher to spend in my handmade jewelry shop!

I’ll be randomly drawing a name from the list of subscribers on 1 May 2008 and will announce the winner right here.

By the way, I definitely will respect your privacy and promise not to be spammy! And you will be able to easily unsubscribe from my list.

So run off and subscribe now!
