Magnets and a Paperweight

First off...I apologize for the awful photos.  While these marbles have a nice pearly sheen in real life, they are terribly hard to capture in photos.  Anyway, I hope this is good enough to give you an idea.  I used stamps from AL-1 (Sakura Alphabet) to spell out a name for a refrigerator, dorm room, filing cabinet, etc.









 While I was at it, I also made a paperweight using SC-5 (Aiko With Daisy).  I got the paperweight at Ben Franklin...it looks tiny, but it has a 2-1/4" diameter.


Now that I have these made up, I thought it would be fun to give them away.  Instead of hoping that a "Kristen" would want them...I thought I'd give them away one by one.  So, to enter...your name (or a loved one's name) needs to start with the letter K, R. I, S, T, E or N...be the first to claim each letter with a comment on this post telling me what the name is (one entry per person, please).  I'll also do a random drawing from the comments for the paperweight (anyone can enter for the paper weight)...enter by Wednesday and I'll announce the winners on Thursday.
