Those stencils are cool and unique.

But when I read "Leave a comment below for an entry into the giveaway", I thought "oh yeah, there's gonna be LOTS of comments." So I scrolled back up and saw 116. WOW. Usually, it's people who are already subscribed or signed up for a newsletter that gets considered, but it's pretty nice to be done this way.

I'm glad to be part of the stampede! Haha.
