QUICK! Emergency book giveaway!

I am hoping you guys can help me with this little domestic emergency. I have been umming and ahhing about these books for months now. Forty still remian after giveaways here, forcing them on friends etc. so this is it. For the next twenty four hours these are available to a good home in the u.k on a first come first served basis. Like before all I ask is that you look at the envelope when you get your book and send me the cost of postage back in stamps. I will post 2nd class as standard, other if you ask. Any that haven't had a taker by Wednesday afternoon will go to the charity shop. I am bunging this post up with just the picture for speed, but will be coming back and editing it with a list of all the titles through today. Heres hoping!!!!!!

Oooooooh!! Can I claim a couple please? I enlarged the picture so I could have a look at the titles! Can't see them all but I can see a few! Could I have Lost Crafts (I looked at this in Waterstones the other day!)and embroidered textiles please. Actually can I be cheeky and claim a third too? Creative hand embroidery too please. If I am being cheeky then only send me one.

boo hoo! I fancied the lost craft one but Swirly has got there first.... If you have anything for beginning quilting - ie: BASIC quilting, then that, but otherwise I will leave the rest for everyone else.

ps: i haven;t forgotton about your soap, just need to get myself organised and back 'online' after the weekend!

I'd love to have the mosaics in a weekend... we're in the middle of buying rather a tatty old house - hopefully it would inspire me to make pretty things!

I can transfer the money via paypal for the postage if that's easier..

Oh, yes please! Could I have xmas stocking presents, soft toys and and cushions! Couldn't quite see them all. BUT... as an alternative I was also thinking that perhaps we could bring unused craft books to the Makey Do and have a swap or for visitors to take away - what do you think? You have a great selection here and I'm sure they would go at the Makey Do and would make a nice addition to the event if we brought some along too, with a promise hat we drop them off at the charity shop if any are unused before the shop closes on Saturday!

Hello! Anything left? I don't really mind what I get, but I would prefer something about embroidery if possible or anything about printing / drawing / painting on fabric. Thank you very much!

Wow!!! How can you get rid of books, hope my children don't see this post. My daughter took photo's of my books to put them on e-bay!!!! Has the lost crafts been taken? Or anything as I can read it then pass it onto my friend who works with children with learning difficulties.

Thank you.

Hello,

I would love something on soft toys and/or embroidery. The only book I can see that I own in that pile is the mediaeval embroideres one. Oh, oh, I hope the alphabet book hasn't been claimed yet! :)

Coo! I'll have the Illuminated Alphabet if you're sure you don't want it.

Sigh... and if it's still available, which it probably isn't now... teach me to be too late, gromble, gromble!

I am impressed at your courage in getting rid of books... I have bought about four in the last two weeks!

Hi Jenny, have you tried Greenmetropolis? We're terrible book hoarders I must admit, but when we do feel the need to get rid, I tend to put books on there. Hope you have had a good weekend.
