  1. That's really funny - I hit my LYS last night, intending to just buy a bit and bump my total over $40 (I already had a couple small purchases). Instead, I wound up spending $74.37! It cracks me up that my receipt will be within $1 of the average...LOL.

  3. Hmmm, I sent in my receipt approx 4 weeks ago, but as of yet, have not received my free items.
    My purchase was from a CEY listed yarn shop, it fell within the dates specified, & it exceeded purchase amount required. Purchase was for yarn only, so nothing fell into the exception catergories.
    My understanding per comments on ravelry & in reading the above flyer, was that it did not have to be CEY yarns or books, just from a LYS who was a CEY retailer.

  5. Wheee, just received my goodies in the mail today!

    Thanks Chelsea for offering to help. It's like that old adage of someone looking over your shoulder to find what you think you've lost.

    A huge thanks to CEY for being so generous with this promotion. The gifts are quite a source of inspiration.
