Thanks for playing in “Curby’s Closet”…two winners were picked for a $20 shopping spree.

The comments were great, you all had great ideas for re-using, re-cycling, and re-purposing your goodies.

The first winner is Julia Wood, who “enjoys being green”, in fact so much she even makes necklaces from soda pop caps!

The other winner, Cindi, has great ideas too! She says, “I use fabric from my stash to wrap presents in. A fat quarter will nicely wrap a gift for a friend who sews, and then she gets a fat quarter, too! Lace, ric rac or any trim can be used to wrap around the gift and tie a bow.”

Ok ladies, email Chris at 

In the memo line, write “I want to go shopping at Curbys!”.  Chris Curby Anderson will contact you a let you know how to use your gift certificate to shop!
