Teresa,

What are the tickets for?

[TeresaK]

Honey - this is the Lotto Thread. For EACH block you make and send me you will receive 1 ticket. Also listed are ways to earn more tickets. At the end of the month everyone's tickets go into a BIG BOWL and the Hand of the Picker picks however many winners we will have depending on how many blocks were sent. The Hand of the Picker is not always DH and they always enjoy reading the Poetic Bribes and picking the names. The more blocks we have the more winners we will have.

Hope you join us this month. I made it easy by letting you choose your own block or blocks to make... after all it is a busy time.
HUGS!!!

Well, I enjoyed some cotton time this afternoon! Alas, I only made 4 blocks as I ran out of Christmas material. luckily my fabrics are of the 'dotty' nature...

Yea more Lotto Pals!!! - Welcome to the last Lotto of the year. I had a feeling picking your own blocks this month would be a hit. Make sure you spread the news

Jacquie - as always you choose great fabrics. My favorite I think is the bottom right. I am a sucker for Peppermints. Wonder what my mini will be. You have always make my anticipation go wild! I go running to the mailbox asking "Is it here yet, is it, is it"!!!! The postman always gives me a smile.

So now we need to spread the word - Easy peasy

[WeSignificant]

Sign me up and I will go on another search of something Christmasy that is bigger than an inch and a half.

I'll see if I can find a good deal at JoAnn's tomorrow on some Christmas fabric, I'm running extremely low. I'd like to join if I can get some
