Contests/Giveaways: July 2006 Archives

Before I annouonce the winner, I have to tell you this was hard! I only had one copy to give away and so many people *really* wanted this issue. I was shocked by the popularity of the giveaway, and the fact that so many of you seemed to really want the issue for this project or that. I thought a summer issue wouldn't be as popular, and since it was only 2 years ago that there wouldn't be as much of a desire for it. I was wrong!

A few people asked in the comments about shipping outside the US. Of course I'd ship outside the US! So, everyone was entered in the contest (yes, even a stragler who entered in just after midnight EDT). It's a magazine giveaway, not the lottery. It's supposed to be fun!

So, who got the issue? gleek! Congratulations! In addition to having the week off of work, she won my little giveaway. Congrats! And thanks to everyone who entered. It was fun to see all the new names.

Oh! For the 50+ of you who didn't win...I have it on good authority that another giveaway for this same issue will be announced soon.

Vicki has a spare copy of one of her IK issues and offered it up to her readers. I think it's a great idea, so here's mine. It's Summer 2004.

The front cover:

You can find pics of all the designs here.

Designers include Kathy Zimmerman, Shirley Paden, Norah Gaughan, Véronik Avery, Teva Durham, Annie Modesitt, Nancy Bush, and Beth Brown-Reinsel.

Leave a comment by end of day Tuesday if you're interested and I'll randomly pick one!
