Ok, here we go!



So, this is a giveaway for the cool tin frame necklace! I'll include the wicked freebie and instructions for putting it together (it is way easy!) thanks to Bonnie at Valley Framing!
To be entered~just leave a comment to this post. Since I am a huge Halloween freak, it would be great if you wanted to suggest any ideas for future designs~Halloween or not~or if you just want to tell me why you like Halloween/and or witchy things!

Just so there isn't a disappointed winner~the giveaway is for the tin frame only, not the finished Wicked necklace (which is mine and I love to wear it!!)
