I have always wanted to enter but never have. I am not sure if it is because of fear or laziness :) or maybe I just forget !
What about you?
Have you ever entered a contest? or would you?

Yes, I entered the Make It Yourself with Wool contest in Iowa; many years ago when I was a young mother. A friend encouraged me to do it. I still love wool, but don't make garments now, just rugs.
