Is the link to enter correct? Should we just send a blank email?

Ooooh, but clicking the link launches a mail program in my computer that I don’t use

I would love to join, but I am having the same problem. I don’t have a direct connection to my email, so the link doesn’t work. Other options?
Thanks!

On a Mac, hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the link, select “Copy Email Address.” You can paste the email adress in the email programme of your choice … no pesky mail programme will launch.
On a PC, I suspect that you right-click and copy address but perhaps someone will post definatively.

Thank you CraftZine, Potter Craft, Janome, and Duncan!
In the book there is a picture of my first sewing machine that I covered in buttons, it is currently on display in the Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ.
For the projects in the book, I used a Janome Memory Craft 11000. Sweetness!
For this contest, Janome sent me a Threadbanger TravelMate to trick out exclusively for this contest!
I had so much fun decorating it! It is brand-new and fully functional. None of the decorations will get in the way of creating your projects! I used permanent Crafty Chica paints, sealed. The buttons permanently secured with Liquid Fusion adhesive. It also has Crafty Chica sacred heart and rose/scissor tattoos all over it, plus gems and polka dots on top. There is a message in Spanish on the handle, dedicated to sewing
P.S. There is a little bit of brush on gliter, it is sealed too…
Good luck!!!
