Last time I participated, I thought the two contests I held were very successful. I received some great comments as entries, and I discovered lots of blogs to follow for inspiration and ideas! I think I even won a contest myself. What fun!
Today, this contest is open to US Residents only and includes some of the swag I received from the Sewing Summit this past October. I will pick two winners.
One winner will receive the following Ruby Star Wrappings book filled with great ideas to make the gift wrapping even more special than the gift itself, plus a a paper pattern from Indygo Junction for the Urban Prairie Dress.
The second winner will receive this package of quilting patterns, two spools of quilting thread, a copy of Generation Q magazine, Mollie Makes magazine, and Stitch-Craft-Create Magazine.
Details on how to enter are shown below. Please be sure to follow the instructions and to leave a comment to qualify!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
I'm running a second contest that is open to both US and International entries. You can find it here.
I hope you'll stick around and browse my blog awhile. If you love to sew for little girls, then you just might find a few patterns and projects you'll like. Pin a few while you're at it!
Here are a few recent projects I've blogged about:
Christmas Tree Tabletop Decoration |
Country Cowgirl Christmas Dress |
Lovely Rita's Slim Pants |
Oliver + S Class Picnic Blouse & Pants |
Thank you! I would love to win.
ReplyDeleteMy husband bought me earrings after he'd been sick, with a kind note about how I cared for him. They make me smile because of the sentiment every time I wear them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Love your Table Top Christmas Tree, cute! I have several different "favorite" gifts and for different reasons. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was several different poses of my two kids all in a big frame. This was my "last" Christmas of having my kids at home as "kids". The following July my son joined the Marine Corps.
ReplyDeleteThank you for an awesome and generous giveaway and a chance to win.
Two winners! Woot! Woot! You Rock!

ReplyDeleteBest gift was when my husband did a 13 days of birthday that led up to my bday!

It was all such a nice surprise.

ReplyDeleteI've been pretty spoiled with nice gifts but nothing beats the treats people sent me when I deployed to Iraq for a year. Not only is mail a terrific morale booster but the toiletries, toys, tea, homemade cookies, cards, mini pickles, photos, puzzles, and everything else made every mail-call a holiday and every day in a war zone a little bit better. I'll be thankful for those things all of my life.

ReplyDeleteFor my birthday last year, my husband "created" a card for me and recorded "Pocketful of Sunshine" on it. We both love the movie Easy A and there is a hilarious part of the movie where the main character receives a card with that song on it. He said he tried in vain to find the same card and instead had to jerry-rig one himself. I love the effort he put into it. I keep it one my sewing table and smile every time I play it. :)

ReplyDelete$$ to buy a serger!!
ReplyDeleteA trip to Italy for my 30th birthday.
