Congratulations!

Chosen randomly from a hat (okay, it was really a bowl) by my daughter.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered for making this giveaway so fun. Whenever I get issue #2 put together (I know, I know, I've been talking about that for awhile now, but it'll happen, I've got big plans that take awhile), I'll do it again.

Hugs and High Fives to all entrants for being such cool people.

Giveaways are fun.

I want to give away a copy of my zine. Would you like it? If so then just comment on this entry (as long as your comment links me back to someplace I can contact you if you win) or send an e-mail to me at karabu74@yahoo.com with Zine Giveaway in the subject line.

I will collect entries through the end of Aug, and announce a winner at the beginning of Sept. This is a kind of 'Thank You' to everyone for giving me such encouragement at Etsy, and with my blog. It really means a lot to me. Plus - giveaways are fun.

and, as promised, here's the link to my story published at A Long Story Short:

New shop. New zine.

I finished my first zine. It has super short stories - all with a family theme (about kids, parents, husbands, family memories, etc.)

I was afraid people might assume that my zines were children's stories if I put them in my Karabu shop (everthing else there is for kids) so I opened a second Etsy store: Paper and Words - http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5162914
I plan to add other paper items - more zines, greeting cards, blank books, and so forth, in future.
