This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Whatcha get is whatcha get.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber. It may be weird or beautiful. Or it may be monstrous and annoying. Heck, I might bake something for you and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something strange.
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.
7. Send your mailing address – after I contact you. (Be sure to leave a working email!)

i’m interested in what you guys like to see. what interests you? do you prefer interesting links? crafty goodness? tutorials? pretty artwork? contests? personal anecdotes? what else?

Also i have no idea who reads this from a feed (if you don’t do a feedreader, i highly recommend–i use google reader)…let me know if you do, and if it’s working for you. — does it show up ok?

i’d like to try to get some feedback on what you think keeps you coming back. So leave a comment. i’ll pick a commenter for a cute robot original sketch prize.
