AND THE WINNER IS....

I know.  I am not very computer literate, lol.  For some reason I could NOT get this copied onto my computer, so you have to settle for a photo of the results. 

Number six...Sharon J. Hughson you are the winner! Please send me your address and I will get the green one out to you right away! 

Thanks everyone for helping me to celebrate my 2 year blogiversary.  It sorta got buried with all of the other goings on in our home (dad is doing GREAT) but this little contest kept it near the top of my mind as I counted down to today.

Toodles!

MY BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY !

WOW, time really does fly when you are having fun!  I can't believe that September 7th will be my ONE YEAR blogiversary!!!

I began thinking about my one year anniversary and celebratory giveaway a few weeks ago.  I decided to keep my eyes peeled for ideas during my recent trip to several quilt shops in Lancaster County, PA.  In the very first store I spotted the cute little snail shown above.  It's a tape measure!  I stood there, holding this cute little treasure in my hand, giggling...when my eyes fell upon the "Giggles" charm pack.  I didn't need a V8 smack in the head to show me where destiny was pointing, lol.  So I quickly scooped up my treasures, paid, and left the store...smiling all the way back to the car.  A bit more hunting through my goodies at home led me to a package of matching double fold binding, a package of 6 ADORABLE buttons from Fee's Shabby Shack and a hot pink zipper.  

Oh what a cute little hexie pouch I could make with these supplies!  But wait, this is for the giveaway!  My heart sank a bit as the realization hit...but my followers deserve this package of cuteness even more than I do!   My bundle was already chock full of happiness, but I wanted to add something else that would truly say this giveaway was from ME.  So, I popped in the supplies needed to make a Collapsible Craft Container...2.5" squares in an adorable 30's print, cardstock hexies, hair ties and 3 buttons.  Now the package was complete.  (Not really...I keep adding to it, lol!)

To win this bundle of goodies, simply follow me on Bloglovin (or by email, etc.) and leave a comment on this post stating that you did (or already do, lol).  That's all.  Easy, peasy.  I will draw a winner on Sunday, September 8th.  Please make sure you leave an email address so I can contact you!

HEADS UP...A GIVEAWAY IS ON ITS WAY!!!!

 

Anniversaries mean presents, right?  So help me celebrate!!

My one year blogiversary is coming up in early September and I want to have a giveaway to celebrate!  I have begun gathering goodies together for one lucky person to win.  Stay tuned....giveaway details will be coming up soon!

6 MONTH BLOGIVERSARY! and a GIVEAWAY!

I can't quite believe that it has been six months since I typed my very first post...with quite a bit of trepidation, I might add!  There have been a lot of ups and downs through the past six months, but I have weathered them well and have tried hard to live the peaceful, fulfilled, creative life I want... in spite of them! 

So, in celebration I am giving away a little something...a small zippered pouch...one of my very FIRST crafty endeavors after retirement.

If you would like a chance to own it, please leave a comment with suggestions on making my blog more engaging, enriching or enjoyable, -OR- suggestions on what items I should craft for Etsy, -OR-both!  Just remember, my blogging and crafting are both dependent on a very limited, sometimes very uncooperative body, lol.

I will try to use a random number generator to pick a winner...but if I can't figure it out (remember I'm not real computer savy!) I will just put numbers in a bowl and pull one out!  I will pick the new owner on March 17th.

Have a great day!  Oh, and please keep your fingers crossed tightly for me...I'm heading off now to an MRI in the high field (read SMALL) machine.  Given my claustrophobia I am NOT looking forward to the procedure, but hopefully a good dose of Ativan will keep me from freaking out!

RESULTS:  It is 1:04 AM on  3/17/13 and the winner is comment #1.  Congratulations, Jackie!  Please email me your address and I will get this out to you right away.   Oh, and I guess I forgot to change the time on my camera when we "sprang forward"...but I don't know why the date is wrong!  I thought I had the AM and PM correct, but apparently not, lol.  Electronics and I just don't see eye to eye!  Grrrrrrrrr........
