For fun

It is Giveaway Day at the Sew, Mama, Sew blog. Hundreds of blogs/shops are giving away homemade items today--I can already see how I will be spending my time today:-) I am making a small effort to play along by giving away a little bit of fabric over at my other blog. I hope you get the chance to check out some of the wonderful handmade items at Giveaway Day!

A Winner!!

This afternoon, I used a random number generator to select the winner of my giveaway. See my random number selector?
Isn't she cute?

And the winner is.....................drumroll please.....................



Commenter number #3, Jenny Miller. She is former student of Nathan's, and we have not met in person--or if we have, I don't remember it! I think it's really cool that the winner of my giveaway is someone I do not *know*. Congrats, Jenny!

An extension

As you hopefully know, I am offering a giveaway to my blog readers. "Entries" were supposed to end today, but I have decided to extend it through Sunday, December 7. I desperately need to cook, clean and craft this weekend (not necessarily in that order), so I need to avoid the computer if possible:-) Plus secretly I would like to give everyone possible the chance to comment. So you still have time! Post your comment before Monday on my original post here.

Giveaway!

Everyone loves free stuff--and the blog world is teeming with giveaways! In fact, I just won my first blog giveaway over at Counting Sprinkles (thanks, Mrs. S!). I am very excited about Giveaway Day tomorrow at the Sew,Mama,Sew blog, and I check Bloggy Giveaways frequently. I have been tempted to participate in a large mass giveaway (like the two mentioned above), but I have refrained due to various reasons.

However, I realized just this week that I hit over 10,000 readers on my blog! Yippee! So in the spirit of celebrating a milestone AND to start off the Christmas season, I am offering a giveaway to my good friends near and far, my blog readers. One lucky person will receive either a handmade diaper clutch (also useful as a purse:-) or a set of 4 fabric coasters. See pic below of diaper clutch--I will post a picture of the coasters when I have one! My rules are as follows:

• You must comment on this post by Friday, December 5.
• In your comment, tell me something you love about Christmas: a favorite song, memory, recipe, tradition, etc.
• Include your email address if you aren't one of the several people I email regularly:-)
• If I don't know you, please tell me how you found my blog--just because I think that is interesting information.

The winner will be selected at random and will be notified no later than Monday, December 8. I am hoping this giveaway gives me the chance to "meet" people who read my blog. Thanks for playing!!
