It’s time for another edition of Tips, Tools, & Techniques trivia! Open your March/April 2009 issue of Paper Crafts to page 88 and answer the following questions for the chance to WIN (and who doesn’t like to win?):
- On page 89, Debbie Olson created six exquisite tags featuring paper piercing. What girl’s name appears on one of the tags?
- How many pink rhinestones are there on my Easter card on page 88?
- How long are the Pierceabilities by Spellbinders?
- I mentioned a friend that might carry the Chocolate Total Tote from Creative Options. What is her name? She is a middle school counselor in Garret, IN (not that this clue will help – just a little factoid!).
- What idea is your favorite from this issue’s Tips, Tools, & Techniques column, and why?
Now for the fun part. One winner will be selected at random to win the following:
- The Chocolate Total Tote from Creative Options shown on page 90.
- The Stitching Guide by Lasting Impressions on page 89.
- All of the Pierceabilities by Spellbinders found on page 88.

Now how ’bout that? There’s not much more to do before you are qualified to win!
- Send me an e-mail with your answers to sopel@ckmedia.com. Put “TT&T Blog” in the subject line of your message. Be sure to leave a comment on the blog, and stir up the competition a little. It just makes it more fun, right?
- Entries are due no later than midnight MST on Sunday, March 8. From the correct entries received, one winner will be selected at random and contacted via e-mail. Once the winner has been notified, I’ll post his/her name in the comments section of this blog. Note: Due to the number of e-mails received, I’m unable to respond to each message individually. Please know that I do read your comments and totally appreciate your participation. Thanks!
So… What are you waiting for?
Good luck!
Susan

Hey everybody!
I sent a link to my friend who I mentioned in the organization section, and here’s what she said:
“Ok, I am answering the question about “counselor’s name”: Jennifer Messer/guidance counselor from Garrett, IN!!! (notice the 2 “t”s in Garrett!!)
Thanks!
Jennifer Messer”
Yup, she corrected my spelling error – love that girl. She’s a former English teacher – what can I say?
