Contest Winner! Friday Freebies, Sales and Happy Fourth

And the winner is.....(remember the contest last Friday to guess how much I spent on the supplies in the pictures? )

NICOLE! She guessed $14, and my cost was $13 (those scrap sets were $2 each, a HUGE bargain), the black and white stamps came in a set of two for $1, and everything else was $1.

I will email you Nicole to get your address so I can mail your prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated.
