That’s right. Lauralund is done, baby.

I know these pictures are pretty lame, but it was POURING down rain yesterday, so I wasn’t going outside.

As for love, Valentine’s Day is approaching. Last week, as I was knitting on the Kathmandu shrug, and slipping my pretty stitch markers…

I was thinking about how Valentine’s-y they looked, and then it occurred to me. I want to host a Finchy’s Feeling the Love giveaway. That’s right. On Valentine’s Day, I’m going to draw names from the comments of this post, and send out little gifties. I don’t know how many names, and I don’t know how many gifties, but I’d like to give Valentines to as many of my sweet readers as possible. SO, this week, I’m going to be making Valentines. I have some ideas. Valentine colored stitch markers will factor heavily, but I’m also thinking of other things. I’m only being mysterious because I don’t want to commit to things and then have to stress about getting them all done. No. This is going to be fun. I will tell you this though, I think Mary Sunshine’s doll (see sidebar) is getting a twin. Yup, we’re Valentine’s-ing, and it’s going to be great!

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll have you know that my beads are plastic, my yarn is acrylic… I’m not breaking the bank on this, but if you want to throw your name in the pot, leave a comment telling me as much in this post. Or an email, if you are unable to leave comments, as I know some of you are. On Valentine’s Day, I’ll post the list of winners, as well as a picture of the loot. I’m going to shoot for as many winners as possible, it all depends on how productive I am this week. Wish me luck!

UPDATE- Contest is now closed, as I’ve posted winners on my Valentine’s Day post. Thanks and happy Valentine’s Day!
