  140. Never much cared for woodburning as a kid. It was one of those "Christmas Crafts Gifts" that didn't inspire much creativity. Just burn the lines printed on the wood included.
    I didn't like using other people's designs but that's what you were "supposed" to do : (
    Now, decades later, I'm intrigued with how free you are with applying your style to this crafts. Drawing closer and closer to giving in and giving it another try.
    Your "give-away" solved my "Which kit to buy" question.
    Thank you for the inspiration adn the product information.

    Outside my window the skies are overcast and cloudy but with simple rays of sunshine that come through the trees. It's not a harsh kind of sunshine, just the right amount. The snow is slowly melting here in MinneSNOWta :)

    Hi Alisa

    It's blowing and snowing here :(. Spring where are you?

    I'd love to try some wood burning. My hubby works in wood, so lots to experiment on :).

    Stay inspired!

    Overcast, but at least warm enough to have melted almost all of the snow. I think the next storm will miss us completely. Yay!

    Our weather on East Coast is very cloudy and gray with impending thunder storms and a following cold front. I have never tried a wood burning tool - wonder if you can do calligraphy with it?

  179. Your wood burning projects are just delish. At present, outside my window is dark (it's 4 am). I expect that, in an hour or so, it will be bright and the sun on its way up for another beautiful Queensland day. Sorry that many of you are freezing on the other side of the world.

  194. Yea! We have sunshine today and I finally got out for my first walk in months with my baby and toddler. It feels so good to soak up some sun. I have had a wood-burning tool saved in my amazon cart for way too long. I would love to finally have one for some fun projects. Thanks Alisa!

  195. What a fabulous giveaway, thank you so much!

    Outside my window right now, the snow is POUNDING down with probably 8 more inches to go.

    ReplyDelete
  196. Right now the view outside my window is about a foot and a half of new snow. It is coming down like little needles and will continue coming down till tomorrow evening according to the wonderful weatherman! Supposed to get 1-2' but since we already have almost that and are only half way through the storm I think we are going to get more than predicted.
    I have a nice stew in the crockpot, gas for the generator and hot cocoa to keep us going even if we lose power. No going without tv, oxygen machine and internet for this girl!!! LOL
    Would love this woodburning kit to keep me going till Spring finally decides to grace us with her presence!!! Thank you for the chance to win it!
