Because it's my 1 year blog-iversary TODAY, I'm hosting a GIVEAWAY! Over the past year, I've been fortunate enough to learn a lot about fabric and accumulate a pretty decent stash. Here's what you get: one ziplock bag (the big storage size) STUFFED with usable scraps from my collection. Could be some Amy Butler, Kaffe Fasset, Tina Givens, Laura Gunn, and even Heather Ross! I'm currently in the process of putting the bag together so no pictures yet. But you all like surprises anyway, right? And I guarantee, it's a yummy bunch of fabric goodness.
Here's how you enter:
1. Leave a comment - anything! Your favorite book, summer vacation plans, inventive ice cream flavor, etc.
2. Become a follower - and leave a comment letting me know you're a follower of my blog! (If you already follow my blog, you can leave a comment to let me that.)
3. Follow me on Twitter - and leave a comment here letting me know you're following me there! (If you're already following me there, you can leave a comment to let me know that too.)
So that's 3 separate chances to win! I'll keep the giveaway open through 12 pm EST next Thursday, July 1st. You have a whole week! Make sure you leave a way to contact you when you comment (email is best). I'll use Random Integer Generator and pick a winner next Thursday or Friday! :)
To celebrate with myself, here's what I'm up to: new library books (these are just a handful - you should see the stack on my desk!) iced coffee South African style (with ICE CREAM instead of ice), and awesome fruit salad. Off to do some crafting and hide from the heat (which is approaching 100 degrees - yikes!). Psyched to work on some new baby quilts (pics soon!), the present quilt, and listen to Lush Life (hurray for free downloads).
Stay cool all - and thanks to those who've become my bloggy friends in this crazy large world of internets. You rock!
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in the magic will never find it! ~ Roald Dahl
Happy blogiversary! Crazy how fast time flies when you are having fun!

congratulations on 1 year blogging.
ReplyDeleteIm sure your scrap bag is too good for words! no vacation plans for us this year...but if the rest of the summer is like this week has been...lots of pool time at my sisters house with the kids!
Congrats on the year of blogging! One of these days I may take the plunge.
ReplyDeleteScraps are my favorite medium. I'd rather work with scraps than my yardage and I save even the crumbs. I have an apple core I want to begin and also a triple irish chain...so these scraps are slated for those projects.
I've been putting some crumbs togehter to make basket blocks for the lotto that I am in (check my profile). This lotto is a great scrap user too.

ReplyDeleteI need to tell someone my dream from last night; I was competing on Top Chef but Gordon Ramsey was running it and we were outside in a giant tent, and I burned myself very badly...on my foot. But he didn't yell at me because I didn't hide it, I immediately went to the medic. I had to hobble around for the rest of the competition but it distracted people from the fact that I can't cook (this is true in real life.) There was more but I can't remember all of it; I have such bizarre dreams!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance at your giveaway---I love working with scraps!
Have you even had rose ice cream? At an Indian festival I attended they had rose and saffron ice cream. Very interesting. Kathie L in Allentown
