  5. they are so cute! I would love to win this for me, lol. at the rafflecopter it says leave a blog post comment below but it won’t let me do anything. maybe it means here? I keep my fabric scraps, I haven’t found anything to do with them just yet.

  7. Since I’m not on Facebook, it looks as if I am limited to posting comments on the blog tour for entries. I would love to win this book. That owl on the cover is adorable!

  8. I would love to have a copy of this book and try my hand at making some of the birds. Of course, I would want to embellish them with embroidery and beads if possible, lol. Thanks for the opportunity.
