Toronto Craft Alert

We all have unfinished projects lying around – be it a pair of pants that need hemming, a quilt that needs binding, or even a vase that need glazing.  And most of us are familiar with that pang of guilt we feel when we catch a glimpse of these abandoned projects tucked away, gathering dust.

Still riding the high of our recent website relaunch (months and months in the making!) Toronto Craft Alert presents The Crafty Slacker’s Get ‘Er Done Giveaway – a contest that gives you the incentive you need to get ‘er done!  By sharing your unfinished projects you’ll be entered to win a care package bursting with goodness from Toronto-based craft stores and talented local designers (valued at close to $700! ).  Finishing your abandoned projects will earn you even more entries and of course the satisfaction that comes with completion.

HOW TO ENTER

In brief, you can score entry points by uploading pics of abandoned project in our contest flickr pool, and even more by posting about the giveaway on your blog, joining our mailing list, and especially for completing the project by the giveaway deadline.  The winner will be chosen using a random number generator. You must comment on the Giveaway page to be entered.  Deadline to enter is March 16th.

More details on entering here.

Note: Anyone can enter – you don’t need to live in Toronto.
