The Winner of PSP Tube Stop is......


Congratulations Ginny!

Please email me so Lisa can get the tubes certificate out to you!

Lisa also says when the count reaches 300 another $10 certificate will be given out.

Because I truly enjoy ALL the followers and peeps, my next PTU kit (due out next week) will be a freebie for only 24 hours so please be sure to keep a look out for it.   The only teaser I'll give about the kit is that its name is "American Honey" and its color theme IS NOT red, white, and blue.

Thanks so much for playing along.
Always a pleasure!!

Hug,
Bev
