Did everyone go shopping yesterday? Was it insane where you are? Not too bad here in Montana. Well, if you have a child, today's giveaway will certainly entice you!
Today we have a $50 gift certificate to A Little Posh.
Thank you for sponsoring such a fabulous giveaway!
I hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving! We had 15 people over for dinner and the house was buzzing. It was perfect! Except for my post yesterday went off a little weird and didn't provide much info. It is correct now, please hop to yesterday's post also and check out the fabulous Marie Madeline studio!
Today we have the lovely etsy shop Olive & Ollie (such a cute name!!) providing the giveaway.
Enter to win a $50 gift certificate to their shop. Thank you Olive & Ollie for sponsoring such a great giveaway!
First off-so sorry for those of you that popped on and just saw a quick blurd about Marie Madeline Studio. It was the place holder and typed in really quick when I first spoke with them and the extended post didn't save somehow. So let's try again-
Today, enjoy the stylings of Marie - Madeline Studio! They are kindly offering a $50 gift certificate to be redeemed in their etsy shop.
Today is another one from my friends at Michael Miller. My debut collection, Ginger Blossom is now out of print. But here is a fat quarter collection that they are supplying for today's giveaway! They put together those nifty bags for this collection the first time, and this set will come in one. Thank you MM for the fabulous (out of print!) giveaway.
In case you need a reminder, here is the bag. Shows my latest Meadowsweet, but today's giveaway will contain Ginger Blossom. You can enter for the Meadowsweet bag here.
I hope all my American friends are having a great time prepping pies and sides and what nots.
We had our first bonfire last night since we have returned to Montana and it was perfect. We have so much to be grateful for. Pictures after the giveaway is over!
Day Six - Another of my etsy faves today..
Slip into the soft and beautiful world of Janet Hill Studio. When we went to Disneyland this summer, we jaunted over to San Diego to visit Sea World and spend some time with a dear friend. We went to the mall that weekend and I purchased my first original paintings. I came home and searched etsy for original paintings (the bug bit hard) and I found Janet. Her style is so soft and beautiful! I still haven't managed to snag one of her originals, but soon. :)
Today, she is offering a $25 gift certificate to her etsy shop. Thank you Janet!
Day Five! We have two fabulous sponsors today.
First:
Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite etsy shops, Cultivar.
Katie started her little business as the results of boredom after brain surgery. (!!!)
Today, Katie is giving away a gift card for $20 to her etsy shop, Cultivar. She makes THE most amazing hair flowers! I have several of them and wear one almost every day. Compliments galore.
Second:
Fresh Squeezed Fabrics on etsy has offered up a $40 gift certificate to their shop today. Thank you so much!
Again, just leave a comment to be entered on either this or any of the other days. I'll announce all winners on December 1st.
Day Four! This is so much fun!
My friends at Michael Miller have donated two prizes for the giveaways. First one up today! The much sought after Meadowsweet FQ bag. We had over a thousand (gasp) entries the last time I gave one of these away and I get emails from people in search of them a lot. So I'm thrilled they had one to donate!
To refresh your memory:
Also, it looks like Meadowsweet is starting to ship out now! So it should start popping up soon enough. I have a lovely stack of Meadowsweet corduroy that came in this week and I'll include a bundle of it one day before the giveaways are done.
Also - I've had a request for a couple shots of the individual color groups to use for selling groupings of it. I'll work on it next week, but here is a good one of the whole collection that I don't think I've shared yet.
On the third day of Christmas, I give to you:
A $100 gift certificate Lisa Leonard's beautiful website! Thank you Lisa! I spent a good hour wandering through Lisa's site the other day. She truly has a gift. I have two of Lisa's necklaces and adore them both.
One item on her site that really caught my eye was her 2009 ornaments. How great, right?
Thank you for sponsoring such a fabulous giveaway Lisa! Please do drop by Lisa's site and tell her hello, and leave a comment to win her $100 gift card.
-------------------------------------
On a side note - Dustin and I braved a theatre full of screaming hormonal teenagers to accompany my 13 year old sister to New Moon last night. I have had a few emails over the past year and a half since I first wrote about how I was reading Twilight. People have wanted to know how I liked the first movie. I have to say that when the whole thing caught on everywhere, it kinda ruined it for me. BUT, I have gone and seen both movies and will say that I really enjoyed this one. (I enjoyed the first one too, but because I went and saw it with a good friend and we laughed like hyena's through the whole thing.) This time, sitting in between my husband and 21 year old sister cracking jokes while my 13 year old sister sat in the front row pretending not to know us was quite fun and a perfect stress release. (I've been editing my book and the run on sentence I just wrote is any editors nightmare, but I feel that because this is my blog I can do it and not have to worry about it so ha ha niener niener.) Anyhow, I would recommend the movie, even if for a good chuckle. ;)
Day Two! (You can still enter for Day One on yesterdays post.)
Today we have two lovely sponsors for our giveaway.
First - Gigi Minor of Pinks & Needles on etsy.
You all know how I love Gigi's pins! Since she got started, her little business has skyrocketed to the point where she only is able to open up shop once a week to keep up with demand. Awesome. During the holiday season she is going to keep extended shop hours and keep those little fingers molding as fast as she can!
I asked her if she wanted to take part in the Twelve Days of Christmas giveaways and she happily agreed.
Up for grabs today is one of TWO gifts from her etsy shop, Pinks and Needles.
First - a cupcake ornament and one of her much loved pins.
Second - a Snowman cupcake ornament and one of her pins.
If you don't remember, here are some of Gigi's lovely pins. Perfect stocking stuffers, yes?
Second - Jenni from It's Sew Sweet has offered up a $30 gift certificate to her fabric shop as well as free shipping on the order.
So THREE prizes up for grabs today! Thank you Gigi and Jenni!
Enter by leaving a quick comment, winners will be announced December 1st!
Today is the day! I'm so excited about this! This year I started thinking about what I could do to show my appreciation to you guys for reading my blog. The idea came to me to do a giveaway (who doesn't like that?) but to involve people I have worked with in the past or indi designers that I so respect.
Each day I will spotlight one or two different businesses who have kindly offered up their goods and services. Since the giveaway will be running over Thanksgiving and people get busy, I'm going to leave each day open for entries for the entire 12 days and will announce all winners on December 1st.
Have fun with it everyone, all you have to do to enter each day is leave a comment on that day's post. Pass the info around to your friends too. Feel free to snag the poinsettia banner above if you like.
So here we are, Day One.
To start things off, I'm starting with a good friend of mine! Megan is the creative brain behind Brassy Apple and today is giving away THREE prizes! Thanks Megan!
First - One winner will receive a Lucy apron and a Lucy Apron pattern.
Second - One winner will receive a Kitschy Corset apron and a Kitschy Corset Apron pattern.
Third - One winner will receive TWO Brassy Bunchy Scarves. (One to keep, and one for a gift!)
