Shrinkydinks! Yes!
I'd love something creative-generating to read on the train. I have good ideas but I would enjoy having some new input. Otherwise, I'm going to keep making strange polyhedrons out of lab supplies.

Cool.
I had no idea what shrinky sheets were, but when I went and looked at the website I totally remembered making Christmas ornaments from them as a child. Mine included Santa's legs dangling from a fireplace. I think he got stuck.
Since I have quit my job, kicked my baby bird out of the nest and devoted my life to "making tiny lovely things" it seems this giveaway is tailor made for tinyfish me. Por favor.
i'm ready to make something!
oo me please!
LOVE this mag & my grocery store doesn't carry it anymore )-: Wouldn't it be cool to get a free subscription?! Way cool

It's cold so the shrinky sheets seem apropos (I'm glad I am not a boy)
ReadyMade is my FAVORITE mag - pick me
Oh, I am not sure what is the coolest part of this: the shrinky dinks would make great magnets, but a YEAR subscription to ReadyMade would rock my world. But want to know what is even better? That I can possibly win both! Awesome!
