Three Long Over-Due Thankyou's.

If you haven't bothered to enter a blog give-away because you think

 you won't win...please ignore your inner, pessimistic self! 

 I had only been at this blogging thing for about a month when

 I decided, "Oh, what the heck?"  and do you know that in 1 day

I actually won 2 give-aways?  And then a week or so later, I won another!

  YOU CAN WIN!  TRUST ME!

Go enter! and have some fun getting packages in the mail!

Fyi, my own owl give-away ends tonight (10/24)!

Big "Thank You!" #1

Here's an adorable Hallowen bracelet that I won

 from Bree at Distant Pickles  (courtesy of Cherry Creations). 

I love it and have been wearing it every day! 

Cherry Creations will custom-make these

any way you like so I'm thinking they'd be so fun

to give as unique Christmas gifts

--and reasonably priced!

(The above link to Distant Pickles will get you more info and

a link to Cherry Creations Etsy store)

Thanks again, Bree, for hosting the give-away!

Big "Thank You" #2

I'm guessing you've all seen the

WantobeQuilter Buttons splashed all over blog-land.

Madame Samm has a been very busy bee.

In fact, I don't see how she sleeps!

For more info, you can visit her blog. 

And sign up!  The give-aways are still going!

 Sew WE Quilt

This fabric is so beautiful--I have some ideas

 in mind and can't wait to use it! 

Thank you, Madame Samm!

And thank you for your blog help!

 

Big "Thank You" #3

And, lastly, UCreate hosted a give-away from

Mixed Bag Designs. 

 Honestly, this is something I never would have

splurged on for myself.  See, I've been planning on

making a set of my own forever...of course,

that never happened.  I chose to get 6 big,

beautiful shopping bags, all in different patterns

 of black/white and several different sizes. 

   

(ever wonder why, no matter what you do, a picture just won't center???)

It's amusing to see other shoppers raising

their eyebrows at these uh-mayz-ing bags. 

Now that I've used them (a LOT), I sing

their praises to everyone who asks me about them.

I generally do 2 weeks of shopping on one day  

so I use every single one of these bags.

And these are very durable, easy to clean--
pretty sure I'll have them a long time.

Thanks, UCreate!  What a treat!

 Again, Christmas presents....!
