Announcing the Hand dyed floss winners for today

Another fun day of drawing names...I truly wish I could send some to each and every one of you. What a postage bill that would be!
So it's time to announce todays winners:
Valerie Kalyani
Connieks
Ewa
Miss LindaLee
Vera

You each will receive 5 skeins (20 yards ea) of my hand dyed floss.
You need to email me....I truly don't have time to track you down, so please help me out.
Nbelgian@aol.com
I will need your address.
I am dyeing more floss this week...sounds like another give-away  real soon.
I must admit...my floss is just a side line for me. So many stitchers who bought my perforated paper motto kits liked the floss they asked to buy some separate. I started listing some and the rest is history.
Let me back up a bit...when I first started doing the kits I bought hand dyed floss wholesale from other companies. I paid $1.45 for 10 yards. I thought that was an outrageous price since I need to put $6-$8 in floss in each kit. So I bought cones from DMC and started dyeing my own. Piece of cake! Then I started selling it because customers requested it....and I was so mad that the other companies charged so much...that is why I sell it so cheap... so a lot of stitchers can have a nice floss selection at an affordable price. At $2 for 20 yards...I have stitchers ask me if I am crazy?! I guess if I was a large company I would need to charge more...but I can afford to be generous with my stitching friends and as you all know...I love to share!
Have a great day. Congratulations to each of you.

Nancy

P.S. I truly need to add another comment...I hope you don't mind me speaking so boldly about my floss price compared to other companies. I truly do not mean to offend. I am only stating facts the way I see them. I guess the older I get...the bolder I get!

  8. Nancy, you made me giggle! It is one of the perks of getting older, isn't it!!I love your floss, even though I haven't got tons of it. But it is so much nicer than the WDW that cost an arm and a leg and seems so much thinner to work with than yours. I now have a metal peg board with all my hand dyed flosses hanging on it like a store does and when I need to sub colors out, its so much easier to do. Your floss hangs right there for me to use. I think I have your purples and burgundy's mostly because I used up all your great greens I had!
