FHFteam giveaway - January

This giveaway is now closed - check the main blog for information about the new giveaway!

It's time for this month's FHFteam giveaway, and for this giveaway it's my turn - Jolene from Kitzbitz Art Beads and Frit N Chips. I wasn't sure whether to offer up a bead or supplies and so there are two prizes this month for our lucky winner.

This chunky aquarium focal bead featuring pretty little Tang tropical fish murrini

And a set of funky rainbow twisties

The winner will be drawn from the names of FHFteam blog followers who comment on the team blog during January, so don't forget to 'Follow' us, and start sharing what's on your mind! Drawing for the prize will take place on the 8th of February 2012

I'd also like to say a big thank you to all the lovely people who currently visit, comment and follow us - we all appreciate reading what you have to say!

Happy New Year
