PILLOW FIGHT!! {Link up your Pillow Creations}

Can you believe it is time for the PILLOW FIGHT?  I can!  I am so excited to see all of your wonderful pillow creations!  And more importantly I am hoping Malynn will be OVERWHELMED with pillowcases to donate!  Just as a reminder you can link up ANY pillow project to the linky party, but for every entry you link up to this contest, you MUST donate a pillowcase for charity!  I have included a little entry form for you to fill out at the bottom of this post so we can make sure everyone has donated a pillowcase!  Please read through the rules carefully! For the complete story behind the Pillow Fight For a Cause--Go HERE!

CONTEST RULES

1. You can link up ANY pillow related post to our link party here at Ladybird Ln, from June 15-22.  Examples, throw pillows, decorative pillows, ruffly pillows, fancy pillow cases, etc.  It does not need to be the pillow case you donate.  Please link to a specific post, not just your blog.
2. For every post you link up, you MUST donate a pillow case.  Don't sweat it, pillowcases are EASY to make, for a complete tutorial click HERE! You can donate your pillowcase locally to a hospital or women's shelter.  Or you can send it to me, and I will let Malynn donate it to Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake City.  Please fill out the form at the bottom of this post, so we can make sure everyone has donated a pillowcase.  Please send your pillowcase ASAP, your pillowcase must be postmarked no later then June 23rd (unless you make special arrangements with me). If you have any questions please email me at ladybirdln10(at)gmail(dot)com You can send the pillowcase to this address:
