(NOTE: I won't penalize you if you buy a print copy - either through Quake or at B&N.com, or even Amazon.com - but the same rules apply - you must put up a review and email me to let me know. See links above, or in side column of blog.)

Prize kit includes: 1 prepared bag, plastic insert, cut foam core board, back sheet of scrapbook paper, and a puzzle furniture kit! Enough furniture to make many rooms!! (Sorry US shipping only!)
